Shocktroops hardly need passive healing or long range DPS when they have 1.5 body armor that makes them practically invincible. Though I did find a King Tiger will handily take out 5 in one shot if they manage to bunch up, same goes for a single volksgrenadier grenade.


That said though, the German factions Long Range DPS can't penetrate that damn armor and it makes them pretty much invincible, able to storm across open ground and completely ignore cover.

How many times do I have to explain to you how Shock Trooper armor works before you understand?

1.5 armor is roughly equivalent to .66 received accuracy (Obers have .7) against weapons with a penetration of 1. Stuff like HMGs, LMGs, Light Vehicles, and tank machine guns have penetration values higher than 1. Meaning received accuracy is superior against stuff like Obersoldaten that rely on LMGs to do damage.

All changes to OKW (wich turned it into something very different of what it was at the beginning), are the result of your crying, dear whiners. But you must consider that no nerf will come without something other to be buffed or changed. I mean if you think that crying a river for fallschirm nerf will pay off, maybe it will, but something else will be changed and you will whine again. Nothing will be turned into a worst thing whithout additional changes just because you can't figure it out how to beat it.

So take a look at what OKW was at the beginning and what it is now, from your allied only perspective and think: you like it better now? My feeling is that you don't. Especially if we talk about "pros" 4v4 games.

So you know what? Stop with the whining, that will surely pay off.

I'm amused how defensive you got about my post, which was not whining at all. Merely pointing out that the nerf to the Obersoldaten LMG dps was mostly compensated by increasing their rifle damage.

I think it is stupid for any faction to be able to spawn units that do as much DPS as Falls in an ambient building. If you gave USF the option to spawn a double BAR rifle squad in a building I'd say that is dumb too. If you had Falls spawn with KARs (with a cost reduction from the current 440 manpower of course) and they had to spend X munitions to get their FG-42s, I'd be cool with the building spawn. I think the Stormtroopers that Wehr just got with their new doctrine are fine.

Oh and I don't play 4v4 nor do I only play Allies, but nice try

So, last patch they were too weak (according to a lot of people in the community). Nothing (major) changed about them and to be honest, nothing major changed about the stuff they are facing. Definitely nothing that would make them go from "Utterly useless" to "Wtf godlike".

LMGs and BARs got nerfed and PGrens got slightly better received accuracy, probably has something to do with them feeling much more survivable.

They are still pretty effective at close range, they were one of my favorite units from the alpha, so now that they have at least some combat potential i'll be using them all the time. The demos alone make the unit sooo damn fun to use.

They are slightly better than Assault Grens offensively, while only having 4 men and no sprint. Not that great as a combat unit anymore imo, though demos are of course sexy.

Is it just me or do patch notes from the official thread often come off as a giant list of "fuck you Axis players" notes?

It's just you

Oh common guys.

Assault Engineers was completely useless before. Now that it has somesort of role you want to nerf it into uselessness again....It can be overcome with semi decent micro. Its not a scalable unit at all. in 90% case its useless after first 5 minutes of game.
Learn to adapt.

Same principle, but Assault Engies just got nerfed into the ground
