GrW34 is the best infantry support mortar, but it's fragile and is out played in a 1 on 1 with the Soviet mortar due to precision strike, the 250 is the best mobile mortar because it's 1 of 2 in the game and the other way is garbage (which should be fixed!), the Stuka is OKW's only indirect fire unit, it sucking ass would be a very bad deal for OKW at the units already high cost.

Allies have howitzer's, higher caliber mortars, a ISG that doesn't blow ass. There are more than enough tools in Allies footlocker to deal with the Schwer, the fact that you can't means you either have no idea how to sight for your AT guns/TD's or are just neglecting all indirect fire.

And the game forcing you to counter stock units with doctrinal is how the game bloody works! OKW has very little in the way of doctrine only units that aren't just support infantry, which is why they have good stock units. USF works the same way (except with worse late game, of course). Soviets from day 1 have been about countering an enemies stock units with your better doctrinal units.

Bitching about the fact you have to be intelligent with commander choice in every single thread is getting really really stale, it's bad design, and people said it was on day 1.

Source?

Can imagine M20 M8 being really good against ost..but then again anything is good against ost.


Puma would shut the build down immediately unless there were m20 mines everywhe- oh wait. this commander munches on muni like a fat kid on cake

I once beat a player with nearly 20 times(literally no joke around 2,000 hours) the amount of time played as me with a M20/M8 combo..... (and yes I have the replay uploaded to prove it)

On a side note can someone please show me some replays with mechanized company at work because I simply cannot use this commander worth crap, and have written him off as crap.

Those vet bonuses are really not that special. also getting to vet 5 takes quite a bit of work.

so 49% received accuracy bonus isnt special?

The reliability and effective armor of the Tiger I at release was a bit of a shitfest, but it doesn't even touch how much of a death trap most American tanks are. The Pershing was basically rushed out of production due to the U.S. Army shitting it's pant because they had no heavy or "modern" tank while the Soviet were making IS2's and IS3's.

lol....

Pershing was under powered yes it was. you got that right but everything is pretty much wrong

1. The U.S. didnt produce and deploy pershings sooner because they didnt want to slow down the sherman production line(thats just one popular theory no one really knows the true reason)

2. Us and German Tank Doctrine was different in fact prior to the Landings that opened up the western front US commander and intel already knew about Tigers/Panther and even could have upgunned Shermans for long barreled 75MM/76MM guns but chose not too. Because in US doctrine the tank was infantry support weapon along with exploiting breakthroughs once they had been achieved not creating them.

German Tank Doctrine as the war progressed centered around Tanks being there driving force destroying enemy tanks and being a armored spearhead. US commander left tank hunting to Tank destroys like the M10,M18 and M36 so that shermans were free to mostly support infantry(towards the end of the war alot of infantry divisions had their own separate detachment of tanks) Of course the relaities of war meant shermans were often taking on German tanks, and even then Shermans faired better than myths would have you believe

Also none of that changes the fact most German Heavy armored vehicles had little overall impact due to there limited numbers further agitated by many being lost to fuel shortages and breakdowns.

The doctrines are solid the problem is a combination of weaker doctrines coupled with disproportionate teching cost with the WFA Armies leading to the "call in meta"
