Just had a unbeatable shereck blob. Can't counter with MGs, Pack howies or bunkers because of Stuka. 4 Shermans with HE shells and MG upgrades shooting at the big cluster of shreck squads couldn't kill those vetted squads at all. I think they really need to buff the HE shells against infantry. |

USF needs better tools against OKW blobs. Just had a guy use his shreck blobs that I couldn't counter them with anything static because of their two Stukas that would instantly wipe any defenses like MGs I had set up. So I used 4 Shermans with HE shells and MG upgrades to try to hold the shreck blobs back but still they would just walk forward like nothing. |

Maybe Finnish troops from Continuation War:
A defensive, lightly armored faction, with pretty mobile troops and all units have resistance to cold weather in snowy maps and move at normal speed trough deep snow..
Infantry:
Conscripts:
Cheap basic infantry armed with M/28 rifles and can be upgraded with molotovs and DP-27 lmgs.
They are able to build trenches. Can use Panzerfaust. At Vet 2 can camouflage at static point.
Veteran Jägers:
More tough infantry that has both M/28 rifles as well as Finnish SMGs, grenades and Satchel charges.
Also able to build trenches and unit can be upgraded with Panzerschrecks. At vet 1 can camouflage at static point.
Pioneers:
Can build variety of defensive structures as well as place AT mines and demo charges. Can be upgraded with flamethrowers.
Tank destroyers (Doctrinal):
Squad armed with Lahti L-39 AT rifle can counter light vehicles and works also as AA unit.
Sniper (Doctrinal):
Elite sniper unit.
Weapon teams:
Pak 40 AT gun.
Maxim M/09-21 machine gun team.
120 mm mortar squad.
Armor:
Vickers Mark E with 45 mm guns.
T-34
StuG III:
Can be upgraded with logs to improve armor. |

I was able to push back two 222 scout cars with AT gun and the sniper as they were attacking my MG. One got blown up one was able to slightly escape. But also had 222 tank my AT gun and just drive behind it and at that point the AT gun is usually done for. I think by utilizing the Sappers mines to cover AT guns you can defend yourself against 222 and by using both AT gun and the sniper + infantry support you can be more aggressive against them. |

Finnish forces would fit better to the Eastern front theme. |

Maybe your problem has been not utilizing the mobility of USF? |
|
1. Scout with infantry (infantry that can camouflage is good for this).
2. Edge AT guns / tanks to firing range.
3. Support them with infantry.
5. Additionally use indirect fire.
4. Profit. |

Could relic just make it so that OKW has their original recource float in these team games instead of the 100% they are getting now? As of now it is quite easy them to stack resources and the steam roll on the late game allies with superior armor ecen tough allies would have been controlling the game from the start and holding most of the map.
For 1v1 and 2v2 they of course need that 100% resource float but I think it is not ideal on team games as OKW was supposed to be limited by their resources. And of course all other unit balance things would have nothing to do with it and should be looked individually. |
