Man, what is wrong with you? Ostheer has issues, but you chose for the most part nonissues to prove your point. I have yet to see anyone really defend the USF mortar. Just about the entire community knows its bullshit, so what is the point on using it to strawman?
1.) Agree, but there is a reason pgrens are available in t2 and all the support weapons are available in t1.
2.) What? The MG42 is the best mg in the game, bar none. It has great suppression, great damage, and great utility.
3.) The ostheer mortar is still the best mobile mortar if you ignore the obviously OPAF stats of the US mortar.
The issue Ostheer has is a very defensive playstyle, but even that can be worked around with aggressive halftrack and 222 useage. This can be helped with some armor buffs to the ht and mg fixes to the 222.
The only 100% broken faction is wehrmacht for now.
1) talking about 4 models infantry will not convince me. Penals are the best stock infantry now. And they are six. In a six models squad faction. For every unit that has models. Pzgrens you say. I say to fragile.
Like everything OH has. Wehr has them all: micro extra-tax, fragility, expensiveness, non-lethality.
2) The best MG in the game. Hm, let's see.... oh, it supresses instantly. Ummm...no, that's the USF hmg. Oh, it has the best damage. Umm... wrong, that's the british HMG. Umm.... has the longest range. Oups, wrong again, that's brit's again. But wait, at least it can be used aggressively with ease. Damn' wrong again, that's the maxim.
3) Try put the ostheer mortar fight with any other mortar's faction one on one and tell me again it's the second best mortar in the game. Please, do it.
By the time you will be agressive and feeling rambo with your 222 and your halftrack, a T70 will come to piss in your coffee. If some guards or even mortars didn't already turn to dust your beloved light vehicles that, anyway, delays your tanks, which, by the way, are the single thing that keeps ostheer from falling apart and make it look like it really fought for a while.
I don't care what you people are telling, as long as I played far less games with soviets on 2v2 but still having a better rank than with ostheer (which I played many more games with), the balance for ostheer is obviously broken by a mile. Damn' it's even in the playing feel. I work like hell with Ostheer to get beaten after one hour while winning with soviets in less than 30 minutes. Pfff....
. Bullshit. Wake up people, allied whiners wanted easy victories, with the minimum effort invested while who dares play axis face mostly frustration. COH2 = allied fest. Embarrassing.
