Your advice is much appreciated. I think I may swap Rifle Company into the Airborne slot, since most of my losses come from trying to make paratroopers work. In this game I wanted to use the open spaces to see how dual M1919s would stand up to MG42 Grenadiers.

The cap order was to ensure fuels were taken, but admittedy im not sure what a good cap order is or why a certain order is good or better than another. Any advice on this front?

Youre right about needing more infantry and shermans, it was a key hole in my play for the whole game. I had picked airborne to get a pathfinder squad and a fast m20, and completely forgot to get either. This was a big mistake and hurt a lot. It might just be in my head, but shermans seem useless even againt medium, let alone heavy armor. I find they bounce shots left and right, and get penned and die easily, essentially throwing away 110 fuel.

Lastly, is p47 strike meant to be so inconsistent? For 240 munitions, I expected at least a few solid hits on the Tiger, but felt like they just didnt do enough for the 480 I spent. If I will be forgoing this ability along with the doctrine, where is it suggested I spend munis that pile up once squads are upgraded? More nades? The lack of mines can be such a headache as USF.

Thanks again for the reply and time spent watching that terribly long game. Heres hoping I can implement what youve given me and close games out when I have an advantage.

Tiger lives with a sliver of health on more than one occasion, paras get meatgrindered.

Has anyone had any experience with the Stuart or M15 AAHT? Ive used the Stuart a few times, and it feels mostly the same, but not quite as potent as it used to be against infantry, which I feel it may have been slightly over-nerfed on. Reducing main gun damage is fine but the MG Accuracy nerfs were a bit much. Isnt AI the CoAx and Hull MGs purpose? Im not sure it needed increased pen, as I cant remember bounces on light vehicles it is intended to counter. Maybe more damage would have been better? What is your experience?

Also, has anyone used the new AAHT yet? I havent gotten around to it yet, but I wonder about what its main gun is meant for now. Before, I used it like an ass-backward luchs with less armor but an MG to make up for it. Now, with the Main gun damage vs infantry set to -50% change, I cant be sure why it exists. Can it hit/pen/damage anything outside of a Kubelwagon. Is there ever a reason to attempt to use it against any vehicle? Its nice that accuracy of both the MG and Main gun seem to increase with vet, and vet reqs are lowered, but I often have trouble keeping it alive that long vs a 222, Luchs, or god forbid a Puma, all three of which come out about the same time.

After having played a few games with USF and being handily trounced, im not sure what the new 'meta' is or should be for this faction. MGs were already a problem early game and beyond, and the proper answer to that was a mortar team. Now, with the reduced range, mortars feel weaker than ever, dying to an ostheer rifle grenade without much fuss. Id like to comment on the mid and late-game, but I honestly havent made it past 8 to 10 minutes without critical losses. I guess the answer is to retreat even earlier and even more often, but then, where is the early game advantage us is supposed to have?

Much appreciated! Agreed on all fronts. Ill be sure to take this advice to heart, especially about pulling the AT gun back before/during retreats, as well as getting BARs before investing heavily in AT.
Is it usually best to wait until armor hit the field to build AT reactively instead of proactively? What is a healthy amount of AT at different stages of the game and how are they best microed? Is it worth putting an ATguns' crew in yellow/green cover?

Is there a way to reduce the scatter on the US mortars barrage ability? How long does barrage last, and how many shots are fired at an increased rate? Is there a database with these types of nechanics listed? Are mortars more accurate while autoattacking or attack ground, with/without direct vision? Thanks again for the feedback and answers! Sorry about the long list of new questions.
