Sick and tired of playing against Brits. They have the freedom and flexibility to do whatever they want cuz almost all of their units are stronger 1v1. I play mostly Ostheer. The things that annoy me the most are:
1) Advanced emplacement. I quite good at knocking them out but the time it takes to destroy one, the brit manages to build two more. Bofors costs only 30 fuel, less than a light tank, yet can act as arty, area defense against infantry even medium armor. Hell even panthers get penetrated at a decent rate. And the accuracy is astounding. The bofors just doesn't miss. Compared to the OKW flak halftrack that misses most of its shot on retreating inf, the bofors just doesn't give a **** about your retreat defensive bonus. And brace! The word overpowered doesn't even do it justice.
2) Comet tank is too cheap for its performance. Its basically the price of a panther, yet it can kill inf at an amazing rate. Players can use it almost like a tiger. And its non doctrinal. And I don't get why US and Brit factions don't get much of an accuracy penalty when their tanks are on the move. In fact Comets get no penalty to their accuracy! That is OP.
3) The grenade throwing ability of many of their tanks allows them to easily kill at guns while devoting their main gun to kill armor makes the brit tanks far too easy to use. Why do brit units get several abilities while most Ostheer units get only one?
4) AVRE is also too cheap for its cost. Because it is a doctrinal call in, u don't even need to tech. To kill an AVRE as ostheer, you need panthers due to the extreme armor and health of it. Stugs, paks, just don't cut it. I had a pair of stugs snipe it constantly but it just has too much health and stugs cannot give chase cuz their slow, turretless and defenseless against inf (mg won't stop piat inf). TWP is difficult to use on a moving target that is constantly trying to back out of your range. So it forces the ost player to get tier 4 and use up a lot of fuel while the brit player hasn't spent much fuel on getting an AVRE (only 140) while the panther alone will cost you more fuel.
5) Land mattress. I don't think i need to explain further. This unit shouldn't even exist. It's not like brits don't have enough arty already. Everything about it is op, the cost, performance, no teching required, etc.


There are almost no weaknesses in the Brit faction while other factions have several. They have a strong early game if you choose to bring it to your opponent aggressively and the game just gets easier as it progresses. They can choose between mobility or defense which ostheer doesn't have the luxury of. This is not the CoH 1 brit where infantry was actually expensive. I dare you to name a weakness in the Brit faction. All i can think of is no at snares which i capitalize for a 2 minute interval will 222s until piat/at gun/aec arrive. Also the only underperforming unit, the firefly, is getting a rate of fire buff. Relic developers are truly Brit fanboys.

- Maxim can pack up quickly and more resilient with 6 man

- I think you play the wrong patch if you having problem problem with grens, Rifles, Tommies eat them for breakfast, Cons scale better than before, but still not win long range fight versus grens

- You should try Easy 8, Pershing if you want more armored usf vehicules, You should try Tank destroyers like Jackson, Su-85, Firefly, you will outrange Tigers and Panthers, remember OST panthers are costly as hell ( i mean, tech to tier 4 ), tiger is expensive, strong, and vulnerable to mines, tank destroyers

- I dont understand the rest of the text, maybe are you raging against OKW ? we all know that they are overperforming right now, but i Wher was the subject of your thread

= Maybe before crying to balance forum, you could ask some help in other section, or watch replays ( i know a lot of good youtube channels if you ask me), if a 1v1 can help you understand that Whermar is not op, you can play Ost and i play ally ( its not a flame text, i am friendly )

There are several critical things that need to be adjusted about the Wehrmacht early-game.


1.MG42
I cannot stress enough how the fact that the wehrmacht can immediately build mg 42 in their basic headquarters is a HUGE advantage. Before you can get a maxim or let alone a 50.cal inside, guess what, an MG42 is already in there!

an MG42 is both a force multiplier and area denial tool. The fact that they could be built 20-25 seconds faster than a maxim is critical. One of these near a fuel point early game is a game changer. Grenadiers should be swapped with MG42 in the teching.

2.Panzerfaust
I have no idea why soviets need to research AT grenades but grenadiers get panzerfausts immediately. It completely negates allied light vehicles like the soviet scout car or British UC. It should need battle phase 1 like the rifle grenade.

3.Rifle grenade
Rifle grenades do too much damage. The trade-off was supposed to be range and speed for damage, but it is still too strong. It should have a damage reduction.
