Urban PG and Commissars don't exist, and I don't see how the USF officers count a regular infantry units when you can only have one. Ostheer has 3 infantry units counting Grens, Assrgens and Pgrens (hardly a wealth of diversity), Soviets have Cons, Penals, Shocks, and Guards, OKW has Volks, Obers, Fallsch, PF and JLI, USF has Rifleman and Paratroopers lol.

USF can be forgiven for blobbing, and OKW as well because Obers blow Fallsch, PF and JLI out of the water unless you use JLI or PF for scouting. But ultimately Soviets are pretty blobtastic since cons/shocks can pretty easily overwhelm Ostheer. Ostheer can't blob because they don't have the MP to do it.

And I forgot Ostheer had a sniper so yeah I guess Soviets and Ostheer both have 3 dedicated stock infantry units

Is coh2 a dead end? I mean the poor faction design. Is not it easier to coh3?

Well considering that a lot of people play CoH2 because DoW2 is dead (outside the elite mod) when DoW 3 comes out coh2 will probably die very fast and the cycle will repeat forever.

Really?

Does OKW need commander for:
Elite infantry?
Heavy tank?
Super indirect fire?
...
...

OKW does not need commander at all. In fact, OKW has everything in tiers.
Even this shitty leig gun, if you just leave it behind lines, it can get 30+ kills on its own, without even touching it and what's more important, OKW can get leig easily since MP float.

How about SU?
Elite inf? Doctrinal.
Heavy tank? Doctrinal
Indirect fire? Doctrial.
Everything is doctrinal.

The only useful stock units (if we are talking about late-game because its all about) are snipers, katy and sometimes SU85.

So don't say that the games is based around commanders because it is only for Soviets, just little for Ostheer - Tiger call-in but there are many doctrines with Tiger, same for USF (LMGs) but it has nothing to do with OKW.

Also OKW's Volks+Obers+Jaeger/Panzerfusi/Falsch blob covered by Jadgpanzer/Panther OR 2 raketens is untouchable unless you have very lucy hit with howitzer, katy or mortar - what's very unlikely since blob is in costant move.

At the competitive level every single faction in the game is based around intelligent commander choice. Soviets are more reliant on commanders because that was how the entire faction was designed and for Ostheer commander choice is essential as you NEED to pick the right commander with the right late game call ins in order to not get raped by medium tank spam.

And yeah OKW does have good stock units, to bad they have a resource penalty which means you have to be ultra picky which basically leaves them with no more options than any other faction. I often have more fun with Soviets because I have a wealth of stratgies to chose from and with OKW it's volk spam into obers every single fucking game.

Allies have the best blob counters in the game bar none, this dumb meme that Axis has everything and the best of everything when the best Ostheer indirect unit costs fuel and still has far less killing power than a MP call in from some of the best Soviet commanders in the game. The 105 LeFH is garbage, and the ISG is a outclassed by the basic soviet mortar despite costing twice as much.

Is the Stuka good? Yes, but it also costs a massive amount of fuel which will delay you getting a Schwer out (and any access to your only counters to rifle/con/shock spam) by a huge amount of time.

I don't think the commander system was well implemented across all factions, but we have to live with what we have and right now as far as blob counters go Allies have a wealth of options to deal with it.

I dont understand why some of you are claiming that WFA factions are unplayable without blobbing.

I literally never blob. Im honest here. And i never feel the need to blob, it feels more like a burden to me as i can full retreat once im suppressed.

Why on earth do you need to blob?

So were are you finding all these various infantry units? Because the only faction in the game with more than 2 stock infantry units is Soviets.

Developers taking patches/mods from community and making them official is actually quite common in the modern games Industry, no reason why Relic shouldn't do it. Although I do think the Kappatch needs some more testing and refinement.

The game should be balanced towards 2v2. It's the middle ground. The middle ground in which OpKW isn't completely out of control, USF and non-heavy armor Soviets are salvagable and where Ostheer is a very strong and versatile faction.

Stop whining.

Or go ahead, whine, get them to give Grenadiers 5 men or something, enjoy Company of Wehrmacht. Buff everything. Seriously, what kind of player can say that AT grenades are a counter to Panzer IV against anyone that is not a potato with a straight face and expect to be taken seriously?

It's not that the AT grenade itself counters the PIV, just that it will slow it down and allow you to very easily kill it. Most AT in the game for both factions isn't good unless you combine it with snares.
