I completely ignored skabinsk post due to him being one of the most cheesy players in the game, The ultimate LMG rifle blobber. And his infamous maximum spam.
Anyways, back on track..
THE PROBLEM IS ALLIED INFANTRY ABLE TO BLINDLY WALK UP TO AXIS LATE GAME ARMOUR WITH NO TRUE PUNISHMENT.
AXIS (especially OH) gets punished in same cause even by allied light tanks.
Purpose: buff axis late armour vs infantry. If its suppression via LMG.
Or panther has same AI roll as cromwell, whatever.
There is a reason why you dont see any gren LMG blobbing late game
Or even strum pios due to having shrecks.
By true punishment you mean instawipes or something? You'll bleed hard when trying to kill Heavy Armor with handheld AT, unless they are out of position and without any form of support, but then if you YOLO a tank, any tank, you deserve to lose it.
I say it's more like the Comet needs to be on Panther level.
I don't see that in my games because Axis losses their Sturmies and Grens like dummies, so they never last long enough to be seen in the lategame, at least no the upgrade versions. |
Well...
Within the usual USF whining, at least this guy acknowledges Airborne could use a few buffs, it's better than what I usually read around here. |
This is what you deserve for playing 4vs4. |
20/10 illustration, would toss the Mona Lisa out of the Louvre for this
But then you would lose the theming bonus! |
So combined arms for you means 2-3 units? Jacksons, rifles and maybe mortars/Calliope? Infantry tanks and artillery?
Rifles with BARs or 1919S, the Mortar, support units with Bazookas, 2 Shermans or 2 Jacksons and Calliope! USF doesn't use a lot of units most of the time, since their rooster is built on very versatile units such as Rifles and Shermans. |
Yeah thank fuck for that! Hmm I don't think so. Ostheer and OKW were both designed with the Katyusha and B4 in mind, whilst OKW was also designed with the Priest in mind. Now that we have CalliOP dlc and the Land mattress DLC, relic simply overruled their own design for getting more cash from the community via overpowered doctrines that have no ties to any well though through proces of creation.
That's just how it is, I love the Pack Howitzer but the Mortar is just better overall, a lot of good units are overshadowed by much better counters and call-ins are better than teching.
It's kinda why Armor is needed in your loadout because M10s are your best bet at surviving Stug-E/Prostwind call-ins in 1vs1 when you are behind. |
I see. Well it isn't really paying for your shortcommings when you can simply reliably count on one or two doctrines to give you the upper hand throughout the game. These shortcommings don't seem to be shortcommings, since USF and UKF don't seem to pay for them in the first place.
That's a problem with the way factions were designed, look at how the Mobile Assault Regiment is the most used Brit commander, as it gives you all you will ever need.
AT least USA can't get a premium medium heavy tanks, with rocket artillery and flamers in a single package. |
You are trying to imply that USF and UKF are less powefull with their current meta commanders whilst missing these fundamentals you are talking about? Do you even play the game xd?
I didn't imply anything like that, I just said they pay for their advantages with some disadvantages, and I do play the game! Not as often as I used to, as I been kinda sickly and busy with studies, but my playercard is here for you to see it. |
You do understand that Allied rocket artillery, which is now well beyond established meta, will annihilate Axis combined arms?
Considering only Soviets get Rocket Artillery baseline, I would say that it's fine those commanders are meta, missing basic tools such as mines, flamethrowers, AT snares and rocket artillery sucks you know? |
Those jacksons, su85s and comets will make good work of your Panzer IVs and brumbahrs
You mean that Tank Destroyers can kill tanks!? AMAZING!!!
This sounds like Allies are building a well rounded "combined arms" force that can take on just about anything, isn't this like, what the game is supposed to be about?
Comets are really strong though, I'll admit that but, I think they are pricey enough to be justified, whining and overnerfing the Churchill, is what caused this. |
