I really liked the idea of replacing the T-34/76s with T-34/85s. With the commanders, we can have a call in of 2 T-34/76s to replace the 85s with appropriate costs and tech.

It would go a long ways towards fixing 4v4's without upsetting 1v1's too much (as Soviets seem pretty strong in 1v1)

It would also make Guard Motor more interesting if the call-in was a vet 3 T34 ace (or possibly a pair of them).

The current cost of t34's seems fine, but the pop-cap is too much at 10.

Just had a game where OKW was able to use an indirect doctrine ability on my base, yet, no ability that I have (as brits) allows me to fire anywhere inside the base perimeter.

(They had the commander with the jagers and the ostwind, whatever thats called)

Why is this a thing? It's bad enough you cant send in a tank to attack OKW without recieveing damage from the free base defences, yet they can take a Luchs into your base and depending on the match, murder everything without so much as a scratch.

The center on most or all off-maps has to be outside the base. The scatter size and size of the base area can result in units in base getting hit. Some maps are really bad for this. If you don't veto Crossing in the Woods as USF, your circus tents push out to near the edge of the base sector. The USF Armor Company 240mm off-map rarely hits anything, but is sometimes funny to drop on the edge of someone's base sector if floating lots of munitions.

Mistakenly voted yes, but don't think the walking Stuka needs change. Panzerwerfer & Calliope are both broken, and the new large AOE on the stuka dive bomb is too big. Panzerwerfer rockets fire so fast that MG can't pack up and get out of building, resulting in insta-wipe every time. The barrage on a calliope seems to last forever. Good luck trying to cap a vp if there are two of them watching it.

The question is serious, every time I watch on divers channels a USF/OKW balanced match-up USF player always end up to select one of the two new commander and 50/50 manage to win the game..... The game goes to late game and you are fucked up.

I agree with Canadian in that it isn't p2w. However, it is frustrating to play USF. So many of the units are really fragile but yield great results if micro'd well. While I can sometimes micro them well enough, I can't micro my 320 hp (or 2 shrek hits) quad halftrack well AND not get wiped someplace else at the same time, with the net result being that I get rekt. It kind of feels like the only way I win is to build 4 rifles, attack their fuel or cutoff (better take it, even if just for a minute), then keep attacking. As soon as I start to play defensively, I'm just starting to lose, particularly if a game against OST goes long enough that they can get a panzerwerfer out.

The cost nerf to RE's has made it harder to try alternate builds. I get bored with starting every game by building 4 rifles, yet trying other builds this last week just caused me to lose a lot of games and tumble about 600 spots in the rankings (not that I really care that much).

Late game is really difficult. Pershings are the only good damage sponge that the USF has. The 57mm AT gun is pretty good with vet, but panzerwerfers and walking stukas wipe them way too easily and the vet 0 version is worthless late game. Having a RA penalty makes sense for machine gun crews, but is pudding against AT gun crews. It's also way too easy for tanks to hit and kill AT guns. AT guns are supposed to be the counter to tanks, but they aren't (at least the USF one, the 6pdr and PAK 40 are really good even at vet 0 and PAK 40 with TWP is probably the best) I ran a test where I A-moved a KT against a captain, RE with bazooka, and two 57mm AT guns (all vet 0). The KT wiped it all.
