Standardize Health to WC51
Currently the Universal Carrier and Soviet M3 are oneshot by mines. The WC51 is not.

Increase the health of the Universal Carrier and Soviet M3 to WC51 levels so basic mines don't oneshot them. You'll need a squad to follow up to kill a UC or Clown Car with a Sturmpio mine.

Eh I think the WC51 should be standardized to the UC and Scout Car to get OHKed by mines instead of the other way around.

I think the 3 best teamgame docs for USF now are Mechanized, Airborne and (still) Infantry company.

Early game build orders haven't changed much, but you can tech up to LT or CPT much earlier now which you need to pay attention to. Early nade tech can be rly good especially vs Ostheer now. In some situations and how USF tech got changed, it's actually more wise now to go both LT and CPT before Major. 50cals are very essential IMO, but be careful: Jäger light inf from OKW is meta now as they're a bit OP. They can wipe the floor with a 50cal (or USF in general )

When is it better to tech LT or Capt first in 3v3-4v4? I feel like both 50 caps and pak howis are incredibly strong in team games and therefore I typically go airborne to get both. Also how is the m20 in 4v4 since it’s timing is shorter against the 222/licks?

What mode are you playing? I play team games so my advice will revolve around 2v2+

Typically go 3 IS, UC, 2 RE. Depending on the map and the game I will add an mg and/or add a sniper that replaces one of the REs. The starting build is also dependent on matchup. I would possibly skip the UC for an extra IS against ost while keeping the UC and maybe adding an MG against OKW. OKW has always been weak against early LVs such as the scout car. As such the UC is an important tool in holding off Volks/sturms early. Against OST IS can easily hold off Grens so the UC isn't needed to help IS as much early.


The AEC is good AT until mediums arrive. Even so the AEC can deal with mediums. The cromwell is essentially the medium tank aka same tier as Sherman/p4/t3476 for UKF and the comet is the premium medium tank aka same tier as t3485, E8, Sherman 76, Panther etc. The Comet is pretty bad right now however and I would not recommend getting it. The valentine is a replacement for the AEC, it has slightly less AT power for much better AI power.


The AT gun for Brits is really good. It also gets bonus accuracy against LVs which makes it pretty damn accurate against them. Also remember that REs have snares now which helps the AT gun a lot in securing kills or preventing circle strafing.

Croc is map dependent on its usefulness. If the map is close quartered and has lots of garrisons its great, on wide open maps its bad.

Double Sextons are viable in team games. This of course depends on how the game goes and if you need something to smash static defenses in the late game. Make sure either you or your teammate has proper at to defend the artillery.

Commandos I would limit to 1-2 squads. Anymore than that would cause severe bleed and pop issues. If you know for certain you are planning on going commandos I would recommend no more than 2-3 IS. 4 IS plus a commando squad is too much bleed.

Heres a small tip about picking between the cromwell and the centaur. If you have been ahead of the opponent most of the game and have superior income I would recommend the centaur. The centaur imo has better shock value so if you can get it before they can get a medium it can reek havoc on infantry squads. I'd also recommend the centaur if you have 1-2 at guns + AEC that can defend it. The cromwell is better if you know that the p4 is coming soon since atleast the cromwell can somewhat combat the p4.

So even this game has its famous tard?
CoH1 there is this guy with like 10 000 losses and he only plays team games and teamkills everyone. His name starts with "a" but I dont remember the rest.

Indeed this guy has been banned like 6-7 different times on different accounts. At this rate he might fund Coh3 by himself.

I continue to have flashbacks about it even now. The kubels... my cutoff...

I do appreciate how much good work has gone into balancing the armies aince then. I just wish vet 5 had either been ditched or offered to everybody, you know? As it stands its a unique army trait that makes balancing the army behind it so much harder than it otherwise needs to be.

Essnetially what has happened is all "real" vet combat bonuses have gone to 1-3 while 4-5 are things like out of combat healing or other non combat vet. Essentially making them a vet 3 system.

Its just unnecessary. If they wanted OKW to be reliant on vet then they could have made their vet bonuses a strong or something. As it was it was either too OP or pretty bad.


Lets also not forget OKW did not have a generalist medium tank at release also. Thats another questionable design decision
