As far as I know, USA were fighting in Europe, opposite to Japs.
As far as i know the usf was not fighting on the eastern front which was the main objection at the time. |
Same goes for any non-vanilla faction without flamethrower upgrades on their engies. So what?
Nope. The okw has no good indirect fire to clear out any early garrisons . you where basically stuck with getting an lv out or directly attacking with volks who do not have smoke or ooorah. |
Why volks have better utility than scripts on a faction which supposed to have specialist units, again?
Because it was nearly impossible for the okw to clear garrisons. |
Investing in fully upgraded Tommies this patch is a noob trap and any decent UKF player knows this
Volks are 10x better mainline infantry not because of how they stack up 1vs1, because they are so spammable and cost effective especially vs UKF.
Go read the math in my post and explain how you think volks and all their perks are justified in their current state
Im not interested in your claims. proof it in numbers |
Shreks, incendiary nades and healing is free with tech, scav nades are 15 muni for 5 grenades, jaegers require no upgrades. Volks get buffed DPS though vet 4-5 again free.
Tommies need to pay 150mp 15fuel+30muni per use for grenades, tommies need to pay 150mp 15fuel for bren guns+60 per gun. Tommies need to pay 150mp+35fuel for 5 man squads.
So? they still completely dominate volks after the upgrades. I really dont see your point here rollo. |
Unless we'd see pacific front (we won't) Japs would kill entire atmosphere if you could use them in Europe. Therefore we won't see Japs.
Didn't people say the same thing when the usf was introduced? |
Which custom mod you play then?
Let me guess, you'd pick con PTRS over zooks as well for their superior cost effectiveness?
you can have 2 zooks for every vg shrek. and 2 zooks will outperform a single vg shrek by miles. not to mention you can equip them on RE. |
It doesn't really solve the issue, it's just a nerf.
There is nothing cost-inefficient about a decent line infantry squad able to do some good AT that doesn't entirely hamstring its AI.
Sure, Schreck PGs and REs with Zooks will do a better job dealing with tanks, and they will also be far more useless against units like upgraded Rifles/IS/Shocks, which are pretty much guaranteed to happen as tanks are, which is why Schreck Volks blobs happen while doing Schreck PG blobs is just shooting yourself in the foot.
Your statement is correct for the early game. as soon as the allies use their lmg's/bars or for soviet callin elites the only thing you will accomplish is losing a lot of mp. any im not investing in obers or other ai infantry is wasted mp. the thing is i only need 2 pg's squads with shreks for all my AT needs. i need more volks with shreks to achieve the same result. |
No one would ever trade shreks for bazookas.
I would. Zooks are better bang for buck. |
Except you can't have an army of only Pgrens or only RE with zooks.
Mate if you are only going to have volks with shreks you are going to lose badly to upgraded rifles/is/shocks. |
