This doesnt make sense to me Shadowlink. OKW start with x1 SP and USF start with x1 RE. The OKW player builds a 2nd SP and the USF player builds a RM. Thats x2 SPs vrs x1 RE and x1 RM in a 1v1 vacuum.

The biggest problem is some of the larger team game maps have narrow lanes with very predictable retreat paths and if a SP gets on your retreat path early game it can be gg in the first few minutes.

No starting unit should have that much wipe potential early game, its very bad design.

I guess nothing will ever change now as COH2 is so old but imo the kubel should of been OKWs starting unit.

Welp but he is complaining about the first engagement, on which OKW right now have the tools to bully any faction.

When a faction which has the highest mp start to begin with (initial mp unit cost + spare mp), doesn't waste time building early on, starts with the 2nd strongest unit in the game and has the fastest unit follow up (Volk/Kubel), there's not much you can do on the FIRST ENGAGEMENT. That has been one of OKW strongest point since forever with 2 exceptions. Been scared of pushing too forward against a clowncar flamer when they had no snare and UKF release.

Unless the map has a glaring "imba" house or spawn position, you are not supposed to defeat SP rushing you.

What's wrong with some synergy? Soviets have howitzers + recon, or mark target + ISU. Wehrmact has spotting scopes + Elefant(!). These commanders are hardly meta, either. The only thing that makes Special Ops meta is the Command Panther anyway.



That's a pretty good point. What about this revision?

[7CP] HEAT Shells
[7CP] NahVw
PzIV, Panther (not Command Panther), KT, and JgPzIV can launch either smoke (Psuedo USF-Style) or small frag grenades for self defense. Shared cooldowns.

Keep in mind I suggested also nerfing the Command Panther's RoF to make it less independent of a vehicle as it is currently.

The Puma beat the Stuart if it stay at range, no need for abilities. Or we could also say vet0 unupgunned gren beat vet3 dual BAR riflemen with riflenade.

Definitely free weapons racks are not a good idea, and shoud NOT be taken into account. There has to be another solution for the weapon racks. Maybe they can change it in a way that you get a free BAR or a Bazooka (randomly) on your squads by the time the upgrade is complete and then you have to retreat your squads and get the other weapons manually. And that free weapon will only apply to existing Rifle squads. The other squads that come into play later, will have to purchase them the same way as now.

As for the MG spam, maybe they should give USF some more tools, i don't know what exactly. There has to be something
