Rifles overperforming?

Everything is off-topic once again. Well done.

Now can we please discuss how USF can be made less braindead instead?

if most unforgiving u mean losing a m20 to a mine after 3 second of being built and then calling another right after and still stomp osther, then yes it's unforgiving

Oh no poor poor OST, poor poor OKW can't handle an M20.

Its still the hardest, most unforgiving faction to play.

If we turn the argument around and start talking about the axis units you can't handle and cry about, we'll be here all week.

That's all true, what I believe would help is the cost and time shift of USF teching:
LT & CPT: build time from 1m10s -> 30s, cost from 200M 35F -> 280M 30F
Vehicle unlock: build time from 20s -> 1m, cost from 50M 20F -> 0M 25F

This will help maintain current vehicle timing for USF. Currently Rifle squad builds in ~27s and LT or CPT build for 1m10s, this is a huge downtime on infantry so everyone builds the 3rd group of Riflemen because one can't allow him/herself to fight for the first 3 minutes with just 2xRifles and 1xRE. Also the HMG and AT gun are essential in most games so both officers are required which leaves us with RE, 3xRifles, LT and CPT (+Major later on).

Changing timing and cost would allow fitting 1 of the officers instead of 1 Rifle squad in the early game. USF player would have less squads overall (due to increased MP requirements), but LT or CPT would arrive earlier and these squads are marginally stronger than an average Riflemen squad due to having 1 non-transferable Thompson, so power level should more or less stay the same. Timing of the light vehicles would be unchanged. This would also leave some space in USF roster for the doctrinal infantry.

What do you think?

Also new pak howie is a lotto-cannon.

You are laterally complaining about a T2 scout car armed only with a .50 cal. Is there something you're lacking in your arsenal to deal with this?
