Profile of Nuclear Arbitor

Clearly not in CoH2.

they can, snipers being a good example, but they cannot be a whole faction and they cannot be the only (effective) unit in a role. that leaves very few spots for glass cannons; basically units like the stug and sniper.

USF pop capping is the unintended consequence of the way decrewing works and since there isn't an issue fix relic has said that it's a feature.

How does USF even reinforce if their current arbitrary popcap is 150+, or 99 when the vehicle crews are out of their tanks?

same way other factions do when their pop is that high: they don't.

cons scale fine at vet3 when they get that massive *0.7(?) multiplier to their evasion. getting there can be an issue though. the maxim is also in a good spot right now, the problem is that cons are 240mp infantry fighting, at best, 240mp + 60mun infantry or more expensive infantry while not being enough cheaper to effectively out spam the more expensive infantry (you actually can sort of out spam spios but both spios and cons are close range infantry so that tends to edge in spios favour).

penals are close to complete shit though and scale terribly. their dps with flamers is actually quite good early game but they have issue closing on many maps (shocks have armour and smoke), lack a grenade (satchels are NOT a grenade although they can be used similarly against idiots or by geniuses), and are expensive.

no because in general AT guns two shot light vehicles which would make the window in which light vehicles are strong even smaller. the issue is that certain factions get access to medium tanks (or stronger light vehicles) a little bit early while others get access to AT guns either a little late or not at all (OKH, USF, and USSR). this creates a window where there are effectively no counters to these stronger vehicles.

this is the problem with having multiple ways of teching but more so is an issue with having some factions straight tech with 4(5) tiers and others split tech with 3(4) tiers. OKH has 4(5) levels of tech while USF can go with 2(3) levels of tech. this means that either USF has to tech slower or their units have to be weaker.

prior to WFA the soviet's t1 and t2 were around t1.5 or 2 in strength while their t4 tech was around t3.5 in strength. this gave OKH a bigger advantage the longer the game went on, particularly once SU-85s were nerfed. on the flip side this mean that a good soviet player could pretty easily roll OKH in less than 10 minutes if they were for something like double snipers.

the last three factions released in particular need some more units to fill timing gaps that currently exist. USF needs some kind of early artillery, OKW something that doesn't require fuel and isn't a standard infantry squad, and the brits decent mobile artillery.

short of releasing another expansion there isn't any way for relic to charge for the time put into developing said units though so we won't see them.

best idea, make both short and long ranged garrison counter available from the start.
