this would be blatantly op.

imagine 4-5 stuarts, then withdraw them all into pershing

Thats why a certain genius suggested Easy 8s earlier

WC51 + flamer Assault engies it may be a problem

Have you ever played a 2v2 against Mechanised and Armour Company

Besides Soviets can do the same thing with their Scout car and its perfectly dealable with

I'm assuming the mortar would be removed and replaced with the jeep. Seems solid.

Why cant we leave Mortar I dont like the idea of an unused unit
Maybe behind LT or Weapon Racks?

Awesome idea!

I'll add you in abit on steam, hopefully more people will come

I'd rather take this System over the old one anyday, also you only get drops for the faction you were playing

Good logic bro, except both Wehr and soviets were able to have mortars right after start and their armies is balanced around that fact.

While USF never ever was intendent to have non doc mortar aswell as OKW MG34. And USF with supperior inf for some reason can have supperior mortar right off the bat, while OKW with shitties main line inf and shittiest MG in the game, still forced to tech up to get this MG.

Biased much m8?

Yeah OKW is my most played faction so I guess Im totally biased against it arnt I

May I point out that OKW was intended to have resource penalties but theyre gone, Volks were meant to have Shrecks but thats gone, Jagdpanzer was in the Battlegruppe but guess what that got moved and Relic did all of these big changes for the better, now that USF is FINALLY getting their turn everyone is complaining

OKW Mainline infantry isnt the shittest, they get an non-doc upgrade, they have grenades that help them clear garrisons and deny cover and a panzerfaust may I also point out all of these dont require side-tech I'd definately would take them over lets say Conscripts or Grenadiers and even Infantry Sections because after Riflemen theyre the most versatile mainline infantry squad in the game

Volksgrenadiers also dont get torn apart alone unlike Grenadiers who get rekt if you're not supporting them with a Sniper or MG42 so Wehrmacht needs their support tools

The MG you get through teching no matter what it was put there to come out around 1 CP like it used to they added it there so OKW can deal with blobs without being forced into a commander

Unlike Wehrmacht and UKF who actually need their MGs and other support units to actually fight enemy infantry and not get rolled over by superior or more numerical infantry

USF doesnt deserve a superior Mortar but they do deserve the Mortar, you see countless threads of people asking to nerf it

When someone plays USF unless they go Armor Company and call in Assault Engineers, everygame was 3-4 Rifles into an Officer that goes stale and got old fast but with the introduction of the Mortar that opened up so many opening builds especially in team games

There is in making the Mortar available after a tier has been teched then USF would go back to their 3-4 Rifle Opening Builds

This would only allow the Leut to have some indirect

I know why they did it but it didn't make sense to keep it, what's your excuse for the best and second best MGs in the game being T0? What, being able to produce the MG34 right off the bat is going to break balance as much as the USF Mortar is currently or something? If weapon teams in T0 are hard to balance then move all of them to T1 but that includes everybody, and yeah I'm really not talking about Soviets cause I don't really care about them.

Well first off I wouldnt say the Vickers is the 2nd best MG I'd take a .50 Cal or Maxim over that anyday

But my excuse would be that Grenadiers and Infantry Sections cant hold their own as well Volksgrenadiers thats why they have multiple support options in the early game in the form of MGs, UC and Snipers

Also if I remember correctly MG42 was put into HQ to make builds skipping T1 more viable, it used to be in T1 itself

Well you can go try and watch a streamer and see how they play these factions but if you're completely new I would say go with Soviets first and forget Wehrmacht for now

My reasoning is with Soviets you
- Only need to learn to fight 2 factions not 3
- Its much less punishing
- Requires less micro

Well these are the experiences I got from most of my games with these factions which are few unfortunately

As for builds there is a number of opening builds and you will need to learn to tech different things first, build units etc based on the map and your opponents playstyle

But generally the most common build order for Soviets ( I have 86 1v1 as games OKW I fought them alot) is 3-4 Cons, Engineer into 2 Maxims into T70 ( Building an AT gun if need)

Inbetween these you would want to tech AT nades as your opponent starts getting his light vehicle, molotovs if theres alot of support weapons/buildings

Hopefully someone who plays these factions much more than me can give you an answer

But I still highly recommend that you watch a streamer so you know how one can play these factions, how abilities can be used etc.
