Wow. This game just died flat for me.

Conscript rushing on Grenadiers - Thought the Grenadiers are supposed to be a better unit? Because they're a trained unit? Wouldn't know. All you have to do as Russian is rush the Grenadiers and the Conscripts will win every time. Conscript? Might as well be special forces.

MG42? LOL! Who would bother with this unit? By the time it sets up, aims, starts firing they already have T34s in your base. Wonder why you don't see MG42 spam from the German side, yet Maxim spam is consistently brought up as an issue? Hmmmm. Do we need a rocket scientist?

Pak40. Well, it'd be great if it didn't die in a strong breeze and could actually kill some infantry for once.

Stug III. Great, but not really. Considering it pops under ZiS fire within seconds and costs almost as much as a Panzer 4, there is little point.

Flakpanzer... Hmmm. Fantastic unit, shame its a tank and it uses paper for armor.

Panther? Well isn't this just a heavily debated unit at the moment. Costs and build times and tier placement make this unit, along with that
ridiculous and retarded Sturmpazer, pointless. On that, why is the Sturmpazer even in this game? It is NEVER used. What a waste of a unit.

Panzerwerfer. Again, why bother. Might as well fire matchsticks compared to the Katyusha. Katyusha are winning half the games for the Russians at the moment.

The Tiger... Are you kidding me? This unit should be able to see further. Hit harder. Move faster. Not be susceptible to ANYTHING bar tank/anti-tank guns. The Tiger was the best tank in the world in this time period. All it takes is a few T34, the stupidly short line of sight and it's full retarded AI to get itself killed. T34 shells should bounce off this thing. Only the assault guns should be able to touch it.

Anything the Germans can do at the moment, the Russians can do better. On every level. They have a super strong early game, Commanders that allow fast tank acquisition and crushing late game with the Super Heavy Tanks and support of numerous medium tanks.

Really gutted by this.

I've played 350 hours of this game. 300 hours as the Wehrmacht and this is the worst balance it's been for this team. It's like they've been forgotten about.

As for all the responses about how strong they are - You'd be correct. If you can manage to get there. 4 man gren squads with triple vet and G43s are amazing. Good luck getting them that far before a kat or grenade takes them out.

By the way, the rifle grenade should either do twice as much damage as it does or cost 5 munitions. It's not worth using a rifle grenade as the munitions are better kept for Panzerwerfer.

I feel like I have nothing. No answer to anything the US or Russians are coming with.

Thought these guys were supposed to be the most powerful and technologically advanced army in the world at this time? Why does it feel like everything sucks. Why does everything feel so weak? Why do my units keep dying so easy?

This game has become average since this last patch. Will not be playing until we see some better balance. GG.

EDIT: And oh yeah, anyone seen Panzergrenadiers since they had the armor reduction? Nope? Wonder why. So thanks for removing out only other answer to tanks. Now the only thing outside a tank that can stop a tank is the Pak.

Let me fix something for you, because why it was made like this in the first place is beyond me.

The Maxim and MG42 teams should have exactly the same range. This, this is the most broken thing in this game. The Maxim outranging the MG42 negates the MG42 entirely. It's currently a fairly useless unit. Both MG teams should have 4 men. MG42 with the wide arc, quick suppression and lower damage then the Maxim. The Maxim with the smaller arc, slower suppression but higher damage then the MG42. They should both setup at exactly the same rate. This is a mechanic that leaves one unit winning over another every time based on the summer alone. Negating anything to do with the actual player.

The fact that both sides have an MG for early game lane lockdowns, yet one outranges the other is the most frustrating and unfair POS thing in this game. Play as Wehrmacht on Steppes and try cap that island when facing Maxim spam. You know? I can deal with Maxim spam fine if my MG can range them as well. As it stands, getting that fuel point against early Maxim spam is just plain infuriating and me, along with a few other, just simply quit the game. Because it's not fun. It's boring and a waste of time.

And don't talk to me about flanking or mortars. Flanks get caught in more maxims and getting enough mortars to deal with the maxims is such a huge MP suck it leaves you lacking for any early armor.

Good news.
