Or maybe it's because the game is almost unplayable because mainline infantry should not have excellent received accuracy on top of being a 5 man squad and having multiple diverse weapon upgrades, nades of AT and AI variety and smoke. Do you really think it's perfectly fine for Ostheer (who has no elite call in infantry worth a damn) to have it's basic line infantry which has 1 less member have much less survibility at vet 3. Pgrens also cost 40 more MP then rifles do and at vet 3 have exactly the same received accuracy but 1 less squad member.
If USF needs elite infantry then maybe Relic should have given them elite infantry instead of making their baseline infantry that vet's up quickly (like all basic mainline infantry do) have god tier vet that clowns out the vet of a faction
literally designed to have the best vet.
so I want to see why MG42s, Ostwinds, etc., are suddenly shit.
Uh, you know USF has counters to those things right? The problem is that you have ultra-durable riflemen backing up those counters so it's almost impossible to hold back the tide mid game. Speaking from a 2v2 setting here.
Gren lmgs no longer work
As accuracy is a direct variable in the DPS formula the 25% less received accuracy basically translates to takes 25% less damage from all small arms. This is kinda problematic as hell to when the low ROF but high damage rifles Axis units use become dependent on good RNG to work because if you miss a bunch of shots it's game over.
but I feel like this current whining is people just not used to actually fighting good infantry lategame.
Why do you feel the need to accuse people with legitimate complaints of being fan boys all the time?
