This thread can be closed. What is the point of the whole thread? Op clueless on how to use Brits? JLI op? For the 100th WE GET IT.

Please read the OP before asking what it is about. I literally said exactly that this is not about JLI, and also that I am also discussing in the strategy forum (and have done many times before) to L2P against this strategy. If you read to the bottom of my post you will see my actual suggestions, which I would love to hear your opinion on. (I do apologize for the whiny title however.)

cav riflemen ... [are OP]
a lot of missed rak shots.

1. I agree
2. I agree, already suggested to buff rak aim in this thread

could u tell me how or why is the STG too strong ?

Good question, personally I just don't like the (intentional) decision that was made to make it an all-ranges upgrade. Combined with flame nade it means that Volks can 1v1 any enemy squad, either by (a) closing the distance and flame to force the enemy to move around, or (b) waiting for opponent squads to close the distance, dropping models on the way and still winning up close (+flame +sandbag, usually). Basically they can turn any situation (offense or defense) into a favorable one and have consistent DPS output the whole time.

I would rather have a different upgrade that has even higher DPS, but is focused on either short or long range, so the OKW player has to actually think about positioning rather than just running stuff around from different angles and spamming nades.

You win vs ost easily because of uber sk1ll
You lose vs OKW because its broken balance wise

I clearly didn't say that at all, please don't put words into my mouth. The point I was making is that against other players with similar automatch rank to myself, OKW can wreck UKF with very little skill, while OST has a very tough time against UKF, if anything requiring a higher skill than the UKF player to beat.

That's because OST is a challenging, interesting, and fun to play well-rounded army, whereas I am suggesting that OKW needs some slight tuning to balance out the infantry spam tactics.

Oh, interesting, thanks a lot. That would explain why I found them so underwhelming when I tried them out years ago and then never used them again didn't understand about the crit...

OK, I don't usually post things this dramatic, and I'm also posting in replay reviews so that I can L2P, but I honestly think this is the most broken matchup in the game right now.

OKW infantry spam -> rush to P4 is the no-micro-required, guaranteed way to beat UKF every time. Spam Volks and call-in inf, cap points, flame nade and faust everything you see, upgrade your StGs on the field. You can lose 80% of engagements and 2~3 squads and still win just by getting all the resources.

Meanwhile UKF player is frantically microing to position MG, Bren, IS, and sniper. One mistake and it's GG. Even if you win 80% of engagements, suddenly there's a Schwer locking down half the map, UKF has no indirect to target it, and it's GG anyway.

Have been trying to get back into UKF for the last few days but I have experienced this nonstop. Every Wehr matchup I win easily, every single OKW matchup I lose, even in the 50% of games where I completely outplay the opponent and get several wipes.

JLI are making things worse, but they aren't even the real problem (there are plenty other OKW call-in infantry options). The problem is that OKW gets more infantry, faster than anyone else. And anyone who isn't a completely new player can just run them around the map, cap everything, spam flame nades to beat every garrison or defensive position, spam sandbags to effortlessly defend every point they take, spam fausts to beat any light vehicle. Once OKW has map control, it's an automatic economic victory anyway. This is way worse than USF Riflespam ever was.

Yes, there are very good counters in Vickers, Bren Carrier, AEC, and Sniper. However, any map with a lot of sight blockers strongly negates all of these counters, and there are already enough OKW squads running around that there will always be another you can send in from the side or behind your opponent.

I play all factions but I've stopped playing OKW now, it's just boring to rely on infantry / territory spam, and I'm quitting UKF until this shit gets fixed.

I've been making this argument that Volks need toning down for something like a year now, I have no idea how they have not only been untouched despite the ongoing discussion, but JLI has been added into this ridiculous mix. Seriously, just change one small thing, be it sandbags, flame nade, StG, faust, MP cost, vet, whatever. OKW early infantry spam is ruining the game right now.

It immobilizes the vehicle

I see, thanks!

UKF are not UP against Wehr, in fact I find UKF vs Wehr pretty easy.

But I think that UKF vs OKW is totally broken.

I was playing mostly OKW and Wehr for a few months but I got so bored of the inf spam meta as OKW. It's the least fun faction to play either as or against at the moment.
