Disclaimer: This thread is going to talk about 2v2

I have been played a lot of 2v2 arranged team recently of double Soviet and mixed Axis after patched. All I could conclude, the game is deadly broken now. There is no fun playing as Axis unless you love watching your whole army getting themselves blown in dust by untouchable supreme mobile artillery, and there is no fun playing as Allies because you know you gonna win at 10 mins mark whatsoever.

So everyone should know the AOE of Walking Stuka is a line of creeping barrage, anything out of this thin line would be unharmed. Therefore, unless the Allies squad or support weapon is clumped up so tightly or they didn't remember to repair their weapon, or they garrison something in a building, Stuka CANNOT squad wipe. While playing as Soviet, I don't even give a shit to Stuka because while I hear that sound, I can just my most important units an inch forward or backward, they would be unharmed.

As point of view while playing OKW, my Stuka primary targets are garrisonable buildings, advancing blob and USF forward retreat point. Firing at those target can make sure it kills something, but still seldom squad wipe unless it is a big blob. The cooldown is so long you really need to think before you launch. But when facing the Katyusha, IT IS A BIG DISASTER.

Back to talking about experience of playing Soviet, you can mess around by spamming some usual maxim T2 units or have some fun wiping lone squad with flamer M3, then around 10 mins mark, unless you are totally outplayed, losing all fuel and VPs, Allies have won because of the Kat. This can be achieved even earlier with Lend Lease or Windustry.

Here is the receipt:

(1) Spend 80% of munis into mines, MINE ALL DA ROADS
(2) Prepare a Zis, or a AT nade equipped Cons, or Star Wars tractor beam Guards, overwatching THE MOST unlikely route
(3) Get T4 and Katyusha, one or two, the rain of death ASAP
(4) Fire at every German you spotted

You don't need to care, are they blobing or what, or a fog of war blocking your sight, just click a screen size red circle of death there, there would be more than 90% casualty even they retreat instantly after the first rocket is landed. The AOE is so large you can even squad wipe the biggest German squad Panzerfusilier. It will be even more disastrous while you click on the OKW medic truck, there would be very likely someone (even the Ostheer troops) chilling around the truck waiting for healing, they can't even repair the truck because another volley can wipe that Sturmpio up. 2-3 volley (mostly 2) can knock out the truck. The Katyusha vet so easily and the cooldown is so low, you don't even need to think before you click the rain of death.

2 Katyusha can win the war alone.

When there is German advance, click on it.
When there is German retreat, click on it.
When there is a German truck, click on it.
When there is a German cache, click on it.
When there is German stealing VP, click on it.
When there is a German occupied house, click on it.
When there is German S-mine, click on it.
When there is an Ostheer base, click on it.
When there is German repairing their panzers, click on it.
When there is nothing more to shoot, never-mind, click on it.

Yeah, you just need clicks to win the game, even more easier than A-move blob, GG wp Relic.

... Except one is more expensive, with a viciously longer cool down, and with one volley instead of four?

Where do you get these comparisons?

Even if you ignore all those glaringly valid points, you still have the fact that neither Allie faction is based on setting up a forward operation. So if you get wrecked by a stuka you're just blobbing. If a katyusha fires on an OKW deployed truck, it's gone in 2 (incredibly short) cooldowns and everything around it is too, rendering null any attempts to save it.
