What is the definition of "worse" that you use? KT is just a non-doctrinal slightly more powerful and more expensive version of IS-2. It is not a valentine.

Worse as in, so bad it is never built.

+1 for tightrope. Although this design for WFA and UKF are all abysmal, I'd rather leave as is and make small tweaks than major faction tool reworks currently. #CoH32020

4 votes when I posted and no replies. Why .org polls are bad, they become skewed by people who either don't take the time to explain their reasoning or don't understand enough to actually make a legitment addition.

On topic: It's honestly hard to say which is the absolute strongest faction in just general terms. OKWs opening 5 minutes are generally very strong with how cost effective and spammable volks are in combination with sturm starter and potential kubel. Lategame though they're just not up to par.

If micro is not included when arguing here Ostheer is easily one of the best, if not the best faction currently. Yes it is the hardest faction to play micro wise, but they have their own set of abusive things that can really propel them as an incredible faction.

Soviets from my own personal experience do require more micro than people tend to give them credit for imo. Maybe I'm just not well versed enough in them, but they do tend to have an incredible amount of combined arms play as well micro demand. Their lategame arsenal is fantastic and their mainline infantry is incredibly versatile. There are a few niche things I could pick out from them as needing a look into the buffs/nerf department.

USF is decent early game, but an absolute monster lategame. Probably the best mainline infantry as well as argueable tank arsenal currently especially with doctrines. The only draw back to this faction when I play them is micro limits, which can be very overtaxed by lategame USF if you don't use the correct commanders.

UKF has its strong suits, but where it has weaknesses it has massive holes in its design. As such, playing to the factions strenghs of using tommies significantly and cover usage they can be very difficult to push around. But with no consistant, mobile indirect it leaves a lot to be desired by them. Although I will say that currently commandos do allow for a bit of a crutch for that.

Overall: Soviets > Ostheer = USF > OKW = Brits

TBH I've literally used the firestorm doctrine and rushed a hetzer in every match vs UKF and USF. Only lost twice so far with it.

Was doing some scrims last night with fortune and he used that vs me 1 or 2 times. Actually a really decent unit now.

I'm having a tough time vs soviets but absolutely crushing Brits and USF. Wait for the new meta to unfold.

Can you explain your build order vs USF and UKF? I can't get OKW to work anymore. Infantry just don't cut it for me.

On topic: "least OP" isn't a good way to describe any faction, but they do have their problems. From what I've seen from top players it looks like the OKW gameplay now is outspam your opponet with volks and use your early game sturms to stress your opponet till you can get a p4. Other than that though not a whole lot a different strategies work.
