UKF is badly designed at his core beeing way to stationary. The latest patch for infantry only made it worse by shifting it in that direction even more.

If you know what you are doing you can completely own UKF player with double LEIG build. I usually go Firestorm versus UKF. Snipe Infantry out of cover with LEIGs and use the fire rounds to burn down emplacements so fast that its not even funny anymore. I usually use the mobile truck for reinforcing and healing my LEIGs and my infantry. That way I'm more mobile (compared to SwS) and less prone to pushing and artillery because I can quickly relocate.

Later JPIV owns anything but Churchill pretty hard if supported correctly by Volks or Raketen to counter flanks. Firefly with way worse ROF/DPS looses every TD duell.

Only way I found to be halfway competitive as UKF is playing the new commander with Thompson infantry, mobile mortar and Quad halftrack. I like playing the M10 too. That way you can play much more mobile and aggressive.


UKF needs some form of more mobility. Just deconstructing emplacements is not enough because you loose the whole investement and veterancy.

And if you really want to have emplacements in the game (deconstructable and somehow moveable or not) there shouldn't be commanders who can make them overperforming (Advanced Emplacement Regiment) or obsolete (Firestorm Doctrine). That way you can never balance them.

I think the pop count is way too high on most medium and above armor regardless of faction.

19 pop for a Churchill is stupid
18 pop for a Panther snd Comet is dumb
16 pop for Jackson and Firefly is also dumb
15 pop for a Jagpanzer IV is really dumb

I do think this is true. Especially in team games where ressources are flowing and you often will reach the 100 population mark, there is no point of building mediums anymore. Just because TDs, Panthers, ad all the heavy tanks are way more pop efficient. Some of them cost barely more pop than a medium.

Are you planning to fix the UKF "Assault" too ?
I mean pls do it.

Do you mean Assault Operation? That one is not as strong as VA or FMR... For 100mun only your Tommies are affected, Commandos in the same doctrine are left out (would be way better for them).

...

FMR basically let your shocks sprint into range, stop and shot, because they can't shoot while sprinting. Accordingly Penals can get closer to get a satchel charge off. Thus both squads will leave less men at their assault and more probabaqly do damage or force off enemy troops. Look at the CP requirements of the different abilities. FMR comes at 6 CPs and is meant to help these troops to get close when there is a lot of AI on the field that makes their live pretty hard. Imagine it would be there when you get your first shocks already... Oh man, that would be a whole different thing. If you want to nerf FMR I would make a ranged ability out of it instead of beeing global (like cover to cover). KW-1 buff recently made this doctrine somehow playable, nerfing FMR to hard will change that. While not beeing an aggressive early game doctrine it is not a good lategame doctrine either because it is missing a strong lategame tank or offmap. So what is its role? Its only real doctrinal powerspike is when you get your first KW-1 in addition to FMR, nerf one and its gone.

I always thought VA and cover to cover are the best abilities of this type. They come in somehow strong commanders while not beeing too expensive for their effect (affecting different types of infantry, especially units like rangers or falls).

and the OP is banned. seems like the mods are just blind ally fanboys.

Oh man, really?

If you go on page 1 you will see that the posts between #2 and #7 got deleted by mods. OP decided to go mad by using nazi propaganda and terminology here. I hope you don't tolerate that either. Thats the reason he was banned.

(thinking about it you have 4 new posts in total... just by chance you are him personally...)

No matter what happened a "long time ago" "in a galaxy far far way" the barrage was patched recently:


HE Barrage AOE damage from 1/0.15/0.125 to 1/0.375/0.125
HE Barrage AOE distance from 1.5/3/4.5 to 0/3/5

Yeah, but its not a buff, more like a nerf. On the upside it deals some more consistent damage at mid AOE distance now, but infantry instant kill radius was set from 1.5 to 0. So it doesn't wipes on first hits anymore. That was the strongest thing about the barrage. Especially when predicting movement of infantry units, you could completely shut down an infantry assault at the Zis. This was really strong.
