Yeah... if only sturmtiger existed.

B-4 can't even hit the sector its aimed at and you still dare to claim what you did.
Have some shame.

@OP
Don't bother with B4.

Its a meme arty that was overnerfed so much, it lost its vet1 ability that allowed it to be viable, had its native ability be changed into vet1 nerfing it even further, its scatter is utter bs and unless you want to put a mental effect on your opponent(making him laugh each time you shoot and terribly miss, regardless of distance), its a massive waste of resources.

Remember when mods wanted to put it in tank hunters doctrine instead of ML-20 and the idea met instant backlash from players who realize its a map decoration unit only?

Tell that To baoling and Vonivan who have built a whole strat around the B4.

You're sometimes very uninformed about this game.

Yes. That was my original point. It’s not “privilege” if it comes with an equally large caveat. Also, would you pay 500 manpower and 50 fuel for an infantry squad? Even if you take out the ambulance cost, you’re trading 250ish manpower and 40 fuel in sidetechs for one free infantry squad. Major sorta kinda doesn’t count, as he’s a powerful unit but definitely doesn’t exert a lot of pressure on the enemy. He does have potent abilities though. Something like the okw flak base is just as “free” as free officers that usf gets and doesn’t come with substantial sidetechs just to throw grenades and upgrade BARs/zooks. Not saying it’s not unbalanced but again, it’s not “privilege” if it has an equally large compensating cost elsewhere. USF is also designed to crutch on having lots of mainline infantry like no other faction, as even okw has the kubel and sturms in the early game that help as force multipliers and can cut bleed a lot through much better trading in combat than riflemen are capable of.

Sure, I can agree with the idea that it perhaps balances out. BARs cost extra whereas STGs don't. I'm not sure it totally balance out though, I think you missed a couple of points.



I think you should consider the ability to equip handheld AT on any infantry squad as a big advantage. OKW does not have this advantage. You have to sacrifice 25% sturm anti inf and minesweeper to get it. And they are expensive to reinforce, can't be spammed like RE. Zookas are lovely vs lights and meds. Shrek blobs are basically impossible but RE zook blobs are cheap. So after dominating early game with the USF inf blob and free units, when your opponent gets out a light to punish your blob, you just get Res with zooks, so he can't take advantage.

tldr; the ability to equip handheld AT on any unit is way more powerful than the ability to lay non-doctrinal mines.


Also, OKW's Volks get no nuke grenade. They get a nice flame grenade which is very useful but not a squad-wipe tool, like the pineapple. I'm not complaining but I think it should be noted that the USF grenade has greater wipe potential than flame nades.



Another small point: There are 3 free inf squads (though Major doesn't really count, no). A lot of players get both Lt and Cpt. And compare to OKW and Ost who do not get another free squad when they backtech or go t1 t2.


TLDR; USF players seem to want to have lots of cool toys that axis don't have AND all the toys axis have.

When they don’t have to spend 500+ manpower and 50 fuel on nades, racks, and their only source of healing, sure.

That doesn't make any sense. Everyone else has very similar tech costs.


And I'd say the extra 100 mp for nades is offset by the damn free units with tech, no?

Also, dbl bars > stgs. And mainline infantry can get zookas (although volks having shreks is FORBIDDEN!), so I think it's fair enough, no?

OKW and Ost also pay for healing. OKW can only get it in T1. 100+200+fuel

There's a lot of talk about how to balance US with how poorly its done in GCS

However, there's definitely seems to be a reluctance to give them AT gun in lieutenant tier, which honestly would be boring af because its one of the factions major asymmetries.

Giving USF mines would go a long way to fixing this problem, as bazookas a lone on rear echelon is simply just too dependant on bad play from the other player/ or suitable map that its not reliable in itself. For a faction that is extremely reliant of flanking, unmitgated light vehicle play can shut USF down in its tracks with minimal effort. The lack of mines also means much better risk reward benefit of light vehicle base diving for wipes/ ambulance.

Its about time USF gets real mines, for a muni starved faction like USF, mines would also be a healthy trade off against getting more BAR's and allow a well set up trap with bazookas to be actually effective (even the fear of mines would reduce the low risk base diving that people face vs USF at the moment)

"Lel not a balance issue l2p"
I'm not the greatest player but I'm ok and generally rank 500 ish in every faction, and this really isn't about me the GCS results speak for themselves.

"yeah more buffz for allies fan boys, DAE katitof pls go away"
I play and actually enjoy every faction in the game except maybe Soviets a little less, so no I don't fan boy USF. There's no reason to favor one faction over others with buffs, because you'll just end up with longer queue times.

"They already have mines from m20, git gud at using m20, i do it all the time, l2p issue"
This is disengenius expensive teller mines that 1 shot other vehicles locked behind a tech tier and also a vehicle like saying wehr pioneer shouldnt have mines because half track can use riegels.

When they give up their free units with tech that help them maintain pressure early game, sure.

Typical:

You give somebody the small finger, and he wants to have the whole hand

Let's start first slow and let's see how it develop

What!? We started slow 5 years ago. Relic been giving us the finger for years, that is the only thing u right about. Finger to us finger, itchy finger to us.


Don't contradict Nigo unless you know something. We don't need your Relic propagondoms.

WE EXPECT MORE
