Not likely to be looking at the minimap when I'm neck deep in an armor/inf battle, nvm in time to react. We're talking a matter of seconds here. First realistic indicator then will be rockets and strafing runs.

I asked why the Ost MG42 is so OP, while they also have the best mortar, and an amazing AT gun. The response was "Because they have weak infantry, so they need better support weapons". This is a flat out lie. Last time I played as USF, LMG Grens were cutting my riflemen to pieces before they could force the God tier MG42 to retreat. They also have the best snare, best none doctrine LMG, and the best magic grenade that wipes retreating squads. The faction as a whole is overperforming.

• MG42 can also be flanked! Yes I know what a breakthrough concept! And what faction was it that heavily depends on a godtier light tank which is perfect for flanking? Maybe something with a red star in it idk.

I usually start with 2 IS. Depending on who the opponent is, Wehr or OKW, I then get a third IS or MG. MG vs OKW, because you know they will spam. Then depending on how hard-pressed you are, another IS, or tech. Once teched, another IS if you don't have 4 (you should try to have 4), then make a determination about your opponent's playstyle to decide on bofors or armored car. Believe it or not there is still a use for bofors as it holds territory and forces the enemy to tech to counter it. Go for bolster or weapons, preferably both if you can manage it, then armor after that. Be aware that their armor will be coming out around that time, so lay conservatively with your armor, since theirs is better. And lay mines everywhere that makes sense.

"Since a 340 manpower (elite squad cost) mortar is very effective against static weapons and static infantry play, we decided that the 120mm mortar should instead fire blank rounds, to make it fair for us axis players"



120mm shells still drop slowly, they hard counter sitting ducks like they should, but are not effective against mobile infantry units. It's survivability already is hindered by the last nerfs it got, this means that rocket artillery can murder it reliably.


Also, the USF pack howi being inferior to the 120mm doesn't mean that the 120mm should be nerfed, it means that some bright soul gutted the pack howi and never compensated it in return. Expensive units need to have their cost reduced if their performance gets gutted
