Playing USF vs OKW sim city is at least as frustrating as any axis vs UKF sim city. Looking at only the survivability of the structures is ignoring 90% of the factors that actually decide what goes on in a game.
Edit: Also, the poll makes absolutely no distinction between OKW and UKF sim-city. Claiming that the overwhelming majority of players thinks OKW sim-city is fine but hake UKF sim-city based on the poll is being dishonest.
USF use smoke and/or one of their many howitzer tanks (one being non-doc). I don't think I've ever had difficulty with an aggressively placed flak hq as USF. Same goes for Soviets, they have Zis and Assault guns and a variety of mortars. Easy work.
Also, the poll, while predominantly about the concept of emplacement mechanics it is specifically about Allied Simcity. Look at the I don't know option, it says ie. I only play as Allies.
You are very over-representing in this thread, I have to say. And you can play ignorant to the major difference in difficulty dealing with Brit emplacements and OKW tech structures all you want, but that won't change the reality that it's an order more difficult at least to get rid of Brit emplacements. Then add another order with the new doc.
