Would that the developers fix the lack-of-reason-to-exist.

It would actually be fairly simple; just remove gimmicks like they did with OKW. OKW's popularity used to be like 1/5ths of Ost's but the recent changes make the faction just as popular. If you want USF to be popular/well liked you got to get rid of the dumb gimmicks.

Cavalry Riflemen are actually way better than Assault Grenadiers, comparable to Shock Troops.

Unless you have a received accuracy modifier (or armor) backing you up or some really, really hard hitting SMG's typically you will just die on approach against more than 1 squad. This is partly why StG's are so good; they preform well at medium range which means they don't need to be in ass sniffing range for DPS.

sigh,who said demo charges are terrible... Assualt engineers as a combat unit are straight up terrible,as they take damage from simply existing.

They are essentially USF Ass grens, good early game and fall apart later in the game due to escalation of DPS and removal of ability to close. Of course none of this matters when the most powerful explosive in the game can be put down by them which gives them something to do at the very least.

Also they blow up a lot less now since the flamer changes, also will probably get better this coming patch with the new anti-garrison changes.

and even if it wanted ass engies strictly for demos,which is stupid really in itself with how strapped USF is for MP/upkeep/muni now,id just go armor and buy the engineers when I have excess muni and manpower for demos. In other words,as a luxury when Im already winning.

Most people keep Ass Engines strictly for demo's. It's been par for the course now for a long time. This of course high lights the fact that they aren't disireable purely for their combat traits.

Them being in this doctrine is a total afterthought

This describes about 80-90% of the design choices when it comes to WFA factions.

Also funnily enough there is an M3 HT in the game files with 320 health, 8.4 armor, and much cheaper cost so they could actually just swap that in and fix everything (plus still add the new vet 1 thing because it's cool)

Idk how you are even putting this as debatable. Are people completely denying numbers? Is raw data not enough to convince someone? This is just denial:

OKW Winrates from http://www.coh2.org/ladders/index/2/4/0:
Everyone has around 85% winrate with streaks up to +52

USF Winrates from http://www.coh2.org/ladders/index/3/4/0:
Everyone has around 57% winrate with streaks up to +8

May I repeat that NUMBERS AND STATISTICS show that Axis winrates are staggeringly high and its right in front of your eyes waiting to either be embraced or completely ignored. Not only does http://coh2chart.com/ justify my case, the leaderboards do as well.

And of course, personal experiences. You can check my playercard as well

I never said Axis win rates weren't high in randoms. When you have 2 AT's facing off against each other whoever has the superior team work and coordination will win. This was shown dozens of times were individually good players lost their teams 3v3 and 4v4 games because they lacked the coordination of more dedicated team game players who knew how to fight as a unit.

If you want to make things easier for Allied randoms then you need to increase the player base so it's not a constant parade of top ranked player beating the shit out of low ranked players AND you need to map the maps not unrelenting shit camp fests (as camping is very easy to do at a low skill level and Axis is good at it).

Having played in a competitive tournament that included 3v3 and 4v4 no matter what faction people played with the team that combined good individual skill with planning and team work won regardless of being Allies or Axis. Yes USF is worse in team games outside of abusing gimmicks and similarly OKW is undesirable when compared to Ostheer because it's lot easier to counter OKW (Point and click with Katyusha's or Priests) with strats you know the enemy can't actually DO anything about.

Yeah, but there's 5 AGs so the DPS difference in practice will be more significant.

Not that AGs are amazing...

He was simply stating that Cons PPsh can't kill things at close range, I merely stated that this was an over-exaggeration. Also SMG's typically tend to drain health more often than they model snipe because they don't focus fire.
