This is 2v2 based play.

I don't want to get into any balance discussions regarding this, there may be an issue at the moment with balance but it's not what I am trying to achieve from making this thread.

I want to know what Ostheer players are doing to contend with USF infantry, and what works and what doesn't.

I have tried the following:

2 x MG's and 3 x Grens with LMG - I find that they just smoke the MG's and Grens even with LMG do not compete. I had two Vet 3 MG's in one game but they also use the Captain ability that breaks supression.

2 x Flame Pios, 3 x Grens with LMG - They just don't compete with BAR Rifles, flamers get focused down and Grens are outclassed and bleed MP.

2 x Snipers, 3 x Grens with LMG - I find that the snipers fire too slow and constantly get bum rushed and forced away, causing a loss of map presence.

3 x Stormtroopers with MP44 and 3 x Grens - Although these guys are quite good, they come after two CP and cost 100 mun each. Plus they also get outnumbered and overwhelmed by rifles.

USF is terrible faction, OP at 1v1 and UP at 3v3 and above.

There is a terrible assumption that Relic is making, is that the USF has to win early or die.

Right now, 1v1 focus mainly on early game, which is why USF is so OP in 1v1 right now. But, 3v3 and 4v4 decide at late game. USF does not give a sh!t because there is no tier4 for this faction.

This assumption give USF huge advantage at early and worst disadvantage at late.

In competitive match, or e-sport game, both players must be given same chance of winning, no matter early or late.
To do that, the "advantage" that Relic and community often talk about has to be REMOVED.

This applies to all factions, not just USF.




tl;dr
If USF need to be balance, then early nerf and late buff is required.
