"watch the ending flank"

Never liked to blame the game for my defeats, i was level 11 before the new steam version and i liked to play mostly as US, as i do now. Even long time ago i have read a thread on gr.org, where even the best players admitted that the Wehrmacht is more forgiving to play than the US in 2.602. Buffing the wehrmacht even more wasn't that necessary, especially 22 mp volks is a complete failure.

Playing as US now is indeed kinda frustrating in comparison to wehr. The only thing i have found to overcome that lack of balance is mortar smoke. It is the only thing in this game that can neutralize sniper spam and suppression(so, the MG42 buff). I have won a lot of games thanks to this, which normally i would have lost , but it doesn't solve all the problems for sure...

Someone has lvl 16 in this game as Ami, so it is possible to win... but amount of effort you often have to put into it in comparison to other factions is imho too big and i often considered playing it as a waste of time. But that's only my opinion, i never was a pro.

you are correct, but my point is not about how to win? i am just pointing at how boring the game is even if u win versus PE and wehrmacht it is a shitty game that you only suffered a spam nothing more and to counter that you had to spam back so it was spam vs spam. they removed rifles veterancy bonus for upgrading to BAR+Sticky+Nades and only supply yard upgrade 1 gives them a bonus for veterancy. on other hand volks get no upkeep price and their reinforce cost is too low and MG42 costs 250 from 260 and volks accuracy is better than before specially in long range they can even take out bar rifles in green cover.

against pe is another story, the G43 buffs were totally not needed the volly fire is insta pin for a cheap price but for Rifles surprissive fire u need to spend 40 muni and hold it a while on enemy to slowly surpress them.

G43 range buffs and damage buffs totally made PG squads early KCH long range units and once you get counter to taht they have access to armor and its the only faction which does not even need fuel to produce any tanks like panthers which are totally game changing.

when you destory a wehrmacht tank like pantehr u have made the player to pay a big price but for PE its like they dont care if they lose the panther or not because while the panthers are in the field and your PG g43 spam is keeping the enemy away from even getting close u have enough manpower to replace panthers when they are destroyed. yes i know all these things have a counter but when every game is same game as before against USA it becomes just boring and annoying. oh and by the way the lufftwaffe butterfly bomb spam on all over the field too which is premanent terror propaganda even for tanks.

I dunno man I reckon the balance is perfect now and I actually find US to be the strongest. I was never overly good maybe 14 max but I play all factions and always feel I got beat fair and square these days rather than raging out over horrible cheese stuff. The game was dominated by maphack back when you are talking about which is not around anymore meaning it is the fairest battleground its ever been.

If they would just put the ranks back correctly Id be happy playing this for years to come.

sadly the maphack and sync hack still work on steam version as you see "kuzyyulidizy" or whatever his name was still make his hacks work on every 2v2 match he plays i see tones of replays of him doing this being posted on gr but that is not my point at all. USA was fully attacker faction and really bad at defense the stupid 2.602 patch nerfed every USA advantage in early game such as rifels getting faster veterancy if sticky bomb or nade or bars were upgraded.

and then strafe is totally useless from early game and volks were only a shit unit to hold enemy a bit longer not to rape rifles at any range specially long range. volks spam works so prefect now i have lost 2 matches against people who had absolutly no idea how to play i wish i had the replays to show you. they dont even make MG anymore its only 4-5 volks blob and then 2 sniper and u may say get a fast M8 well ye guess what 4-5 volks blobed together fire a faust at your M8 and its done its gg. if u get a sherman its same story again. u get early BARs its again same story because they just remain in longe range and upgrade one of the volks with MP40 and u cant even get close to them u only see your rifle being raped by snipers and then volks. since when before 2.602 you could survive as wehrmacht if u didnt know how to micro your MG?? MG was a key unit to Wehr army but now it is not even needed.

and dont let me get started with Panzer elite easy win army.... the G43 buff completely made them early KCH unit. i honestly miss those days where if u were winning as wehrmacht you could feel like u earned some big achievement now it is a disgrace to play OP axis. brits is OP and PE is super OP and wehr is OP and only fuckig US which was the only faction that you needed to know the map so well and micro and flank is just being fucked by everything.

i dunno how many people know me here from coh1 but my most horrible faction is brits since i always hated them as they were super broken back in 2.601. i went on a random ranked 2v2 because it was not finding a match when i was searching as axis so i just went random and i got this game and still i dunno how we won this game i completely gave up after the first few minutes a retarded game for those who wanna enjoy some retarded moments.

I know that feel, bro. Same thing with lots of games - noobs dont care about balance or stuff, they just love to play countless hours at one match against retarded CPU and they call it "fun".

in this case they didnt call it "fun" they said it is "skill" and i got banned because of lack of that skill
