USF has other docs than Pathfinders?! Not sure how ppl can justify a recon squad being spammed out like this as a full replacer for regular rifles. You can't play around 50 sight range 'mainline' inf. (They even get +10% sight range at vet 1!). MGs become worthless and Pathblob walks over your men early-to-mid. And I'm seeing triple Path builds everywhere. Even JLI is hard to spam due to the 1 CP requirement.

And then there's BAR Pathfinders. Why are they allowed to pickup weapons? Surely this goes against the idea that it's a recon squad and not a defeat-every-inf-except-Obers-and-maybe-upgraded-Falls-squad? I don't even like playing Ostheer but after seeing a streamer get rolled by them, I don't know what to say.

Alright we go old school 2014 gameplay where I flatten 1/2 the map to get at you and your Scooots Scooots

This thread is surely classified as spam? What next, we dive into a deep discussion about Cold War propaganda of the COH2 Soviet campaign? Or Admiral King's blatant anti-British racism that got his men and ships killed?

Used it and had it used against me with varying results. Have seen ppl learn bad habits with it and think they can charge a vet III MG34 frontally point blank after breaking suppression. Granted it had 1 man left (with <10% hp) after his nade went off.

The grenade cheese is questionable and arguably punishes good MG use. "On me!" is a powerful ability but otherwise fine imho.

Dive into the HQ sector with 222/AEC/t-70/Stuart etc. to chase & kill low health 1~2 model retreating squad is always a viable option. Except against OKW that is.

Yes it is a risky move, but the potential outcome of wiping a squad is sometimes risk-worthy.

You can do this and also not be surprised when (esp outside of 1v1) you run into a snare unit and then lose your unit for virtually nothing. The risk greatly exceeds the reward.

Lol I wiped a pgren squad like 20 mins ago by chasing it into base with clown car. Clown car and engy survived. Ive done similar things with a 222

You can dive HQ with light vehicles against any other faction, but OKW is special cuz reasons

That's a pretty lousy Ostheer that gets trashed by a clown car, with their extra faust range grens. I too can claim that I wiped wounded Shocks in base with a 223/Luchs and use that as an argument. Or dive puma to kill 2-3 Katyushas and getting accused of maphacking. I have also lost such a puma for nothing at least 5x .

So by what you mean, we just let Stuka zufuss runs free?

If they parked it in the HQ sector (when not in use) they are using it carefully, like any rocket arty. Expect mines and worse.

The defenses are there to prevent super early infantry rushes into the base, which would effectively mean that you "cap" the enemies base, denying him to retreat his squads outside as well as building new ones (since those will be outgunned heavily).

But I think OP is overexaggerating, especially with damage against heavies.. Even Against a T34s rear armor, the Flak emplacement does about ~5 DPS. There is some damage, but not an awful lot, especially since some shots will be front armor and the Emplacement quickly deleted. Still, they are the best of all emplacements in case an LV wants to enter your base for the last shot.

While that is true, we also recently had a resistance modifier added to the ambulance to prevent it being sniped by a tank dive in the HQ sector. I know OP is overexaggerating as I have seen this situation with tank vs Flak HQ/emplacement play out dozens of times.

If I had my way, you couldn't even send units into the enemy base but they met this compromise with defenses and extreme risk.

Yes it needs a change, more lethality/durability in 3v3+. 1v1 it can feel, dare I say it, *cough* oppressive *cough*, but in teamgames it provides an ez win condition if killed early enough.

This building from a killing viewpoint is a non-issue imho. It will be targeted with call-ins. Tactics ranging from one click Air Superiority, Smoke and triple Gammon/Satchel or just mortars alone. PTABs and a few shells will end it. Commandos can also place bombs under smoke cover from certain docs/tactics. Sov engineers can do it too. You do not want Pyrotechnics getting a free throw in whenever they feel like it. Crawl crawl crawl they will unless being vaporised is extremely close in their future. Seen them try more times than I can count.

You cannot micro the gun as it will fire at the first target that comes into range, regardless of how dangerous the other units are. Easily abused with a light tank or heavier to give time for bombs.

I don't know why people think this gun can deal with mediums, it bounces most of the time against even T-34/76 frontal armour. You can write the building off if they can get a med tank in an unopposed shootout with it.
