AAHT works if you have already the upper hand, long range pfaust + pak / 222 make it too squishy for its cost imo. One wrong move and it is done.

And even if you manage to keep it alive till T3, it can't literally escape a tank rush. No smoke and dies in two shots if you didn't reached vet3.

Both M20 and AATH are underperforming. M20 is meh in term of cost/dps/windows of opportunity and AAHT in term of survivability.

You walked right into this one:

-lack of sniper
-removed smoke from rifles
-there was no fuel free Option to counter HMGs
-no way to get support weapons early


SP crates are getting a buff.
SP crates are not supposed to replace battlegroup medics, ist supposed to make it possible to wait it out until it arrives.
SP crates are not tied to tier building.

You have just argues asymmetrical Balance for OKW. Well, guess what, Medics not tied to HQ IS the asymmetrical solution for OKW as OKW gets repair stations as well - ist not bad to make a decision if you want to focus on infantry or vehicles in early game and provide support for that playstyle by proper tech.

You are trying to fix a problem that does not exist.

So does the OKW player if he wants to open T2.
- Lack of heal
- No fuel free option to regenerate your troops before vet3
- You can't get any heal any time soon


Oh and by the way, Mortar came before they removed riflesmoke so it couldn't be a cause at that time.

But since they do not plan to permanently remove battlegroup HQ from the game...

As part of asymmetrical design, OKW could have both.

And next patch on, its not.

Oh I'm sure you would.
Still not going to happen.

I don't know how you can be so sure. We're talking about OKW here, doctrinal HMG to stock, doctrinal Pz4 to stock, camo raketen, STGs to volks, pfaust to volks, Smoke for ISG... flamnade...

In mean, can you imagine brit having a snare on one of their stock troop? No? Me neither, but because it is not OKW.

The 5th man of the rifle always drops leaving you with half DPS

Hope this rage post helps you to evacuate your frustration (no joke). But I would like to give you some insight about what I quoted. This may help you to understand it and maybe improve.

There is two kind of focus fire in the game used by any kind of infantry squad. Something we could call "focus damage" and "spread damage"

Focus Damage make a squad fire at another one model per model.
Spread damage make a squad fire at another one spreading its damage over all models.

So when you enter in a fight, if the squad in front of you has focus damage, it will pick up 1 model, kill it and then pass to another model, kill it then another one etc... This is what is happening when you see your riflemen squad losing a model vs a grenadier after 2-3 seconds. All four grenadier models fire at one model of your squad and kill it. Then why it happens sometime so fast is because of RNG chance to hit etc...

to make it easier to understand, I made a table in a guide I did for my clan: here is a reproduction

Focus Damage:

Squad---Life--- life per Round1-2-3-4-5...X
Entity 1 80--- 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 65 50...
Entity 2 80--- 80 55 40 20 0
Entity 3 80--- 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80...
Entity 4 80--- 80 80 80 80 80 70 50 20 0

The entity model 2 takes the initial damage and when it dies, the model 4 takes the damage and then when it dies, the model 1...

Spread Damage:

Squad---life--- life per Round1-2-3-4-5...X
Entity 1 80--- 80 75 65 50 40 40 35 0
Entity 2 80--- 80 55 50 45 30 25 10 5 0
Entity 3 80--- 80 70 55 40 20 0
Entity 4 80--- 80 80 70 65 50 45 30 20 0

All models take damage at the same time.

As far as I know, only Falls are spreading their damage. (maybe USF vehicule crew as well, didn't test)

Important note: Focus damage always works as a rule until the 3rd model down (for a riflemen squad at least) when there is two models remaining the damage is dealt to the two last entities simulteanously.

and the major as it stands is so expensive the p4 hits the field earlier than Sherman but also has better armor and pen.

The major is another problem. The FRP delay is much more impacting USF than OKW or UKF because of the other Major abilities, sometime you use the FRP and need a reco run and you can't use it without having that loooong delay before being able to use the FRP again.

Overall I 100% agree with the fact USF is the faction that recieved the least attention those last years. But you know they give it a T0 mortar... everytime you'll say USF lacks something someone is going to tell you about it.
