I am expecting broken balance.

I am expecting from British faction to stay away from COH2 as any other new faction they would want to add. 4 factions are more than enough, let alone balance, which will be thrown into disaster again for loong long time.

...Pffff....
Ok...

How to fight against the Flack Hq in a simple way (by JohnnyB):

1. Are you playing with USF? Fine. Go eat a hotdog first (to catch strength). Put a nice bottle of Coke near your keyboard and go automatch.(....) blah blah blah.... your OKW opponent(s) build a Fhq. You want to tackle it. Look at your army. Do you have a 57 mm AT? No? Then BUILD ONE OR TWO, STUPID! Place them in such way to have that Fhq in range. You don't see it because you are a brave soldier and don't have maphack and FOW doesn't allow you to see it? Fear not, because YOU HAVE THE ATTACK GROUND FEATURE. Shoot the position of Fhq with your AT gun(s) and place some units around them for protections. Flack AA, Hmgs, riflemen, stuart, WHATEVER YOU WANT. Case closed. Go and win that match.

2. Are you playing with soviets? Ok you damn' commie, if you don't have solutions than it means you bought this game yesterday. But I will still help you. Start with that T2 and you will have ZIS in no time. Proceed as in point 1 (maxims will do a wonderfull job for rpotecting your gun(s)). Not enough, still to hard for you? Fine! Chose a doctrine with 120 mm mortars and bomb the hell out of that building. You started with T1? Than for you and for incompetent USF player above is the same advice: you don't have to be so desperate to kill that T4 from minute one. AVOID IT! WITH ONE FUEL POINT SECURED OKW WILL STILL GET LESS FUEL THAN YOU GET! Take the rest of territory untill you are able to tech in order to have those nice AT guns or enough CPs for 120 mortars (in soviet case) and take down that Fhq.

To be honet, I was thinking about them as support squad (maybe 2 squads)


To all Axis lovers:
No, it's not nerf Jaeger thread. It's thread about Jaeger utility.

You allmost got me on this one.
On a more serious note, I used to love JLIs quite much and the doctrine they are in. Your idea to use them as mainline infantry is not that bad as it could seem - I did that in the past - but keep in mind that they are quite fragile especially nowadays when whipes are happening all over the place, and they are not that cheap to build nor reinforce. They can performe 2 rols for you:
1. support - behind your volks, from where they will snipe models from enemy squads that are low on health;
2. spotter and recon unit. I found them verry usefull in this role with a Puma in the background or a Panther. Or for your teammate if he has a Jagdtiger in the back or a PACK 43. As spotter and recon you can place them mixed with your volks blob or somewhere in front waiting in camo stance behind something. They will provide you a good view on the battlefield. They can scavange also like pios and volks do and can boby trap teritorry as obers can do.

Have fun with them.

Yet somehow US air force had no problems engaging and taking them down. Sure, axis had advantage in speed, but not in turn or general maneuverability when it comes to 262.

And by allies I mean americans(mustangs), because soviets didn't really put heavy importance on air support.

And lets not ignore the numerical difference.
So yea, allies could handle them perfectly well.

Of course, nothing new about it. This isn't about who won the war or who ruled the skyes though. These are wel-known facts. The discution was about technical marvels in late war. Of course it's no point in imagining who would won the skyes battles if Germany had the same number of 262's and the fuel for them as americans had for Mustangs, is it?

imagine of soviets had an anti-air intercept run.

Where La-7's came to counter Axis air units

Allied cannot bring anything to compete with german late war technology. If you are showing me this, I'm going to show you this little fellow:
