And, again, whats keeps you from rushing and destroying allied indirect fire units with superior combat troops? I suppose you think allied indirect fire is better (Which is not, ostheer stock mortar>all indirect fire in the game except stuka, which is another axis unit. Just example of how insane it is Show Spoiler

) because of those nasty 120mm one shot wipes, but if your opponent uses 120, which is not cheap by any means, where is your troops worth of same resources? Why they are not breaking enemy line and forcing those 120s to retreat with raw combat power advantage you have?

The Ostheer stock mortar is not better than all indirect fire in the game, it's a good mortar. It's Axis's only mortar besides the mortar HT. The best mobile shell based artillery in the game is the 120mm mortar.

And you can't rush most allied indirect fire units because they can you know just move.

Axis do not have the raw combat power advantage early game, they don't have it mid game either. At the late game when your infantry has gotten all veted up you will finally edge out ahead, but until then you will be facing LMG Para's, 1919 spam, shocks, and con/rifle hordes.

The Stuka is a good indirect fire unit because it's OKW's only indirect fire unit. And it costs 130 fuel. It's by no means the best indirect fire unit in the game, the B4 takes that cake.

Barely, plus tiger have superior at guns on it side, plus supporting grens have significantly more range on fausts, plus tiger have blitz on vet 1, plus... should i really continue?

Uh, the faust has the same range at the AT nade and is less likely to pen the IS2 than an AT nade is to pen a Tiger. Who cares if the Tiger has blitz if you have snared it, and if he retreats off the field he loses map presence.

The IS2 isn't "barely" better, it's got 75 more frontal armor. Yeah Axis has a better stock AT gun, as in it has 10 more penetration than the ZiS does.

You can name it whatever you want, naming can not change fact that axis have best infantry, best tanks and even best td(lol). Best everything. Not to mention insane synergy between all of what they have thanks to command panthers, command p4s, spotting scopes, ostheer and okw officers. Only advantage left to allies is hight shock-value of their units, which is fades extremely fast in 4v4, and almost non-existent against axis who know what they do and how to counter this and that.

Axis has exactly 1 infantry unit that is objectively better than every Allied unit, and not because the unit is good, but because the LMG the unit it is holding is good. Gren's lose out to duel 1919 or duel BAR rifles unless the rifles sit at max range (they never will), and Pgrens are just ayyy lmao.

OKW has the worst starting infantry in the game, as in it takes 3 levels of vet for a Volk squad to be able to contest a con squad 1 on 1.

Allies have all the best medium tanks, in fact, they have all the MBT's in the game except the Panzer IV Ausf G and Ausf J. They have the best medium TD, the best indirect fire, the best infantry support weapons, demo charges alone are amazing.

All of these things allies have require a player with good micro to utilize them, which is why Allies lose more, because most players have shit micro and shit coordination.

4's are hard for allies because 90% of the time the allied team won't be putting any actual effort into playing like a team.

Randoms are shit, who knew?

You can always do the Continuation war. That's slap bang in the time zone...

It would be rather odd, considering the Finn's equipment was a mish mash of soviet equipment and lend lease German equipment. To quote a Soviet general:

"With the Finns it feels like we are fighting ourselves, except they have better machine guns!"

I wouldn't mind giving allies a few new factions and just adding units to the OKW/Ostheer unit list.

1. M15 AAHT is crucial in its role. after the initial aggressive power of allies starts waning, the aaht helps allies to keep on the pressure before sov's tanks arrive. not to mention aaht has great [aoe] suppression on a moving platform. and not to mention USF has to get his major's vehicle out asap.

okw? all you need is shreck volks and sturms/obers. so yeah.

2. doesnt make up for it directly. indirectly it does.

Uh, you need a lot more than volks and obers. And when you build a OKW AA HT you can't even make Obers yet.

Veterancy in no way makes up for OKW's lack of fuel income, units are not priced based on vet bonus's.

Without USF aa halftrack its impossible to breakthrough axis mgs and stand to obers, which come 1 or 2 minute later after halftrack hits the field (not the battle). Therefore, losing USF aa halftrack early = devastating blow, while losing even fresh p2 for OKW is like "meh, i still have upper hand with my vetted shrecks and obers", which with adequate micro can stand to all infantry and all but heaviest allied tanks

Micro won't destroy buildings or kill enemy indirect fire units.

WHAT?

Allied units have the same health/armor/dps/accuracy in every single game mode.

WHAT? x 2.

Axis with equal skill can win allies with infantry alone (well, as long as pak 43 count as infantry). Yes, balance that bad. Only thing you need for certain as axis in serious game is Luftwaffe supply or cas to bomb b-4s.

You can theoretically beat allies with only infantry,. but you can saw the same for axis as well. You need tanks, that's a fact no matter what faction you are playing, you need armor support. Problem is OKW only has either heavyish tanks or light vehicles. Zero in between.

Other indirect fire in the game exists outside of the B4. If he's spamming infantry make Kat's/demos/mortars/FPs/Scotts.

Afrika Korps and UK if anything. Although 6 factions would result in a balance disaster.

The last 4 Relic games had more than 4 factions.
