It always comes down to this argument. "They're top level players! Of course they know how to best play the game."

I played DoW2 for years, and the way people played it at the top level in 2010 is completely different from top level today. People get better at the game, the meta evolves as people get better. Things that we thought were underpowered became one of the strongest tools in the game. Things that we thought were overpowered ended up being pretty easily countered. People went from only using 1/6th of all the tools to using 5/6th of them. Things that were "too micro intensive" became everyday tactics.

It took how many years for people to figure out that veterancy wasn't working on reinforced models and you guys have the arrogance to think that floating 200-400 munitions with no weapon upgrades is optimal strategy, a very common mistake with USF. Again, see the game I linked where USF didn't get weapon upgrades until the 14 minute mark when he could have started getting them at 6. He also never built an ambulance throughout the entire 30 minute game.

But you know, ESL grand finals so clearly he knows best and he couldn't have improved in any way.

Here's the link again if you want to check what I mean

Meta changes as a direct response to patches. Granted, there may be organic shifts in the meta but most come from buffs & nerfs.

As to my match, it had nothing to do with pumas and more to do with the unkillable weh sniper along with the doubt shot from the vet 1 ability (and let us not forget how bad USF is overall). The puma was of little consequence that game. A better example, which shows the power of the puma's synergy with a heavy T1-T2 build, would be this game against paula on the same map

Also should be noted Veterency wasn't working for less than a year, despite anything Relic says. There was a patch in 2015, after the brit release, which dealt with vet that was probably the point where the bug was introduced.

Pac stun shot is OP. Double pac is common so two pacs + stun shot = dead tanks. Weh's strong mid-late game defense is strong in part due to the pac40. As it currently is, you need a katyusha, calliope, or land mattress to counter german's turtle play

To make REs useful, besides being a capping unit, give them zooks. You can have zooks & the sweeper so they are good in a support role.

On a side note, I believe every faction should have flamers by default so if REs could get flamers, we would see them used more.

I would say the opposite is true. The puma is one of the strongest anti-tank vehicles. The disadvantage is its low health so it is a glass cannon. However their smoke ability helps greatly to keep them alive. Also the command tank aura buff goes a long way.

As weh currently is, you will lose ground to allies so they will get a T-70 or Stuart out before/as you get a pac out so the puma is a good counter. It is a mobile pac40, along with having the OP stun shot. The problem people make is they only make pumas, without pac support.

While it could be argued teching or getting a tiger is better, weh can easily do well with only T1 & T2. Grens, MGs, mortars, snipers is the anti-inf and 2 pac40s, being the best AT gun as well as having OP stun shot, will deter any armor. The pumas & command tank complements a heavy T1-T2 build.

Lastly to address the M10, one of its positive features is its spammability and its high speed, leading to crazy crushing capabilities. However, the commander is lacking beyond this. M10s are not as good as Jacksons so they will Peter out. M10s are good to keep up USF mid game aggression before USF starts to drop off so one should only use them to help close out the enemy.

I've seen the stun nade bug. You can't retreat once hit
