I'm pretty sure that one big reason for PF are more often used is, that they are in at least one very strong commander with lots of useful abilities (like Tiger), compared to the alternatives.
Also the survivability of a 6 men squad in lategame is a big advantage, where arti is omnipresent. |
Adding one aspect not mentioned yet - that some factions can speed up there fuelincome with fuelcaches! Not to forget, especially when you view teamgames! Because OKW was mentioned before, they cant make them. |
To any Tank or unit, there should always be a counter without relating to a special doctrine. Otherwise its bad gamedesign and if it would be that way, you can drop at the start of the game, when you see a doc you have no counter in loadout for!!!
I think no one can deny, that fighting the isu with just a panther from front, means to go a long way. You have to flank with all the risks and any decent player is for sure protecting a high valuable target like an ISU.
Back to topic: In the past, the Kingtiger more often killed more units with one shot than now. But now you have a more consistent but lower impact with hits. Thats what I found out.
Well, the King is not a King in any way and often not the best pick. Thats sad and maybe thats, what many players complain, cause it is a very costly tank and therefor should have more impact.

For me the sturm officer looks too weak, esp. at the time he comes out. At that point, most infantry has vet. and you have a long way to go, until the unit is competetive. |
For me it would be an important improvement, when the stormpioneers could get the flamerupgrade AND the minesweeper too. Actual I need at least two of them, to get the repairboost and minesweeping ability - and thats a no go, especially regarding the low surviveability in lategame and the huge costs!
Therefore mostly I don't pick this doc. |
I wonder why no one talks about sturmtiger!? Since they are not able to fix projectile collision, I see only very little use for this unit.
Maybe nice against Brit with bunker, but otherwise i would always pick kingtiger over it! Don't see that actual changes to unit makes any difference!

In case you were in coma for last 2 and a half years, soviets were reworked and rebalanced specifically to not rely on them anymore.
In case you were no alli fanboy, you believe to win games against decent players without PPSH, Guards or Shock, right?
Annoying what you are commenting so often. Maybe you can bring some valid arguments about pak43! |
Doctrinal, optional gimmick vs a stock unit that needs to be reliable, is expensive and costs a hefty amount of fuel and pop cap.
Yeah, you go boy, compare them apples to oranges.
Don't like it, just go for ele/jt.
Bullshit. In that logic, all doc-units are gimmicks! Russians for example rely heavy on them. |
...
Pak 43s can at least be demolished when their initial shock value is done. They are not going to be 17pdr clones.
...
but then we don't need 5 veterancy on it or do we??? And then a costreduction is also necessary! |
And an MG will control like.. 2x it's manpower at least. More if supported but penal are 300mp and a blob of them is at least 900mp don't expect a 260mp MG to hold the line alone. If you can spot for it things will go well but not alone it won't.
So lets hear your solution for stopping a blob, at least before you have stuka, katjusha, panzerwerfer, etc. in mid game? And plz dont say build your own blob! |
