--OKW is still the best faction,the patch has delay the heavies a bit that's all.
Don`t forget Panzer4s. This is a great change imo, the problem with okw was the fact they were able to get out those tanks so early. I never found the volks blobs an issue, one maxin or 50cal always solved it. It was the fact I had to somehow get out a maxim/50cal to deal with the infantry and then have sufficient AT for that P4.
-Brits are not fixed and still a liability in team game.
Post hotfix - I disagree (at least in 2s), do you use snipers? those mortar pits... dat 17 pounder. High accuracy engineers with brens O_O
-Flame nades kill Allies HMG very easily as allies HMG don't suppress fast enough. But MG42/24 will suppress or kill anything very fast that come their way.
Disagree here. MGs should be positioned in your backline (behind your infantry) and such a way that they have a wide field of fire - this allows you to suppress those annoying volks blobs and amplify your infantry killing power. You can also see a flame grenade coming from a mile away (that lone charging volks squad), supress him or bail before you bleed.
-It's very hard for allies to keep territories.
Its actually very easy. If you`ve got a brit friend, you can use a bofors behind a shot blocker. Or his snipers to decrew team weapons and make them lose models for simply moving around (And you don`t lose anything! What BS).
With americans +soviets, you both have great suppression options (maxim + 50cal + halftracks) to suppress any advance - this lets your infantry react. The halftrack is particularly great at this, being mobile it can rush to one side of the map suppress something, then rush back to your main line.
Here`s a twtich thingy as an example. -
http://www.twitch.tv/troyd_destin/v/29331010?t=11m24s Notice the MG placement is
behind our infantry line, we even fuck up and lose our halftrack (because guess what, it wasn`t on the backline or flank) but the two backline MGs keep us in the game.
-Panthers with smoke can rush in kill something and get out easily even if they are nearly dead.
Yeah, this sucks. However, the wehrmacht typically gives up other good commander abilities when he has this. So the counter is to build mines in places you expect panthers to rush - also remember to ~Attack ground (hotkey: g) into the smoke with your AT weapon. You`ll often get the kill.
-Flak truck lock territories easily long enough to get heavy tanks out.
Sort of, this depends on how well guarded it is. An unsupported flack truck will die to a single AT gun. Most At guns can use attack ground outside the range of the flak truck even without field of vision. American Pak Howies are also great at removing these. In most cases, you won`t kill the flack truck before the first medium (Panther, p4, jagd) hits the field... but it will be severly damaged if you`v kept up the pressure, which means he`s likley losing sturm pioneers trying to fix it.
The other great counter is applying enough early pressure / map control - so they have to place their flak truck somewhere in the rear - limiting its infantry impact.
-As it is, ( For 3vs3 and 4vs4 game format allies side) the fun factor is the worst since the coming of Coh2.
3s and 4s have never been balanced (except that one time), they suffer from the snowballing effect of mechanics, shared resources etc. If you derive fun from balance and tactical prowess - try 2v2 or 1v1. 3v3 and 4v4 is just the shit show where you go to play casually with friends
There`s a rason all the tournaments are 1v1 or 2v2 formats.
-It's rather sad to watch live game and see allies trashed even when the players are evenly matched.
After the hotfix? Its more balanced then it has been in a long time. As allies you need to apply serious pressure within the first 5-20 mins of the game. You have the some of the best tools that allow you to do this. (Spammable suppresion) If you`re not dominating by then, you`ll have to put in place AT gun lines and mines to deal with axis armor.
-So if Relic don't do something «solid» the game is over. What a nice Chrismas...hope is fading fast.
Thanks.
I for one, think this hotfix is the best christmas present ever from relic. Also the constant updating means we have a company that cares about the game and its users. Don`t be so quick to trash someone for spending time, resources and effort (at no cost to you) on something that you likley play quite heavily.

Currently - Why invest in an AI vehicle when you have ubersodolten? overall OKW in its current form is an ifnantry heavy faction. That means its AI is likley found in its infantry. That will change next patch.
