I personally don't like what they did with ANY of the standard multirole heavy tanks. They were triple nerfed just to change the meta. All they needed was a CP increase, they didn't have to nerf them into the ground on top of that.
And of course USF got screwed the hardest because Pershing was only in ONE otherwise mediocre doctrine and it was the ONLY good USF heavy tank and call in. So naturally they made you pay more for an inferior tank.
It's like what happened with the Fallschrimjagers but in reverse. "Hurr durr no one uses Falls, lets make them cheaper, stronger and arrive earlier!"
At least the Tiger is in multiple doctrines, isn't the only heavy tank available to Wehrmacht or OKW, and you aren't paying more for it.

Ugh no...
The whole rifle genade vs pineapple or mills bomb has been a joke for as long as I've played this game, probably longer.
The rifle grenade is better (surprise! surprise!) Which isn't in and of itself bad, but when you factor in that it's the same munitions cost to use as the garbage allied grenades and you don't have to waste fuel and MP just to unlock the damn thing it's a joke. A sad one at that. The stupid "cooked" grenades aren't any better, but at least you aren't paying extra to unlock underpreforming garbage.
And then there are the stick grenades, no Ass(hole) Grens can't just throw one, it has to be like 5 or 6 at once so they wipe everyone or guarantee a retreat. |
What was the point of increasing fuel cache costs anyway? Seemed really stupid. |
Create a Thread about it then, I'm sure you will do great.
I did. It was largely ignored because this community (especially those who still post here) is now 90% Axis mains.
Say what you want about the Tiger, the Pershing got it much worse. Honestly what they did to heavies in the last balance patch was such a lazy thing to do. They just basically changed all three multi-role heavies the same way without regard to how each unit fits into each faction. |
I don't know but they should both be nerfed because USF. |
They were all overnerfed but none as bad as the Pershing. |
I'd also add, Paratroopers are the only infantry USF has that can effectively deal with Panzergrens too. Rifleman preform poorly against them as they hit the field way too soon. |
USF was in a good spot I think last patch but it just gets nerfed by crying Axis players all the time. "Waaaa your 145 fuel 400 MP 16 pop Jackson TANK DESTROYER is blowing up my 120 fuel 340 MP 12 pop Panzer IV TANK!!! Waaaaa that's not right nerf the Jackson waaaa!"
Then there's what they did to all heavy tanks was bad and none of them should have been nerfed that hard, but what they did to the Pershing was just plain unforgivable. It's the ONLY heavy tank USF has and it got nerfed into the ground and now does nothing stock USF armor can't do better which also now happen to be available much sooner. Rediculous. |
FSJ are pretty ridiculous. You can charge them into melee against shock troops and win more than half the time- due likely to their insane damage on the move. Not only that but the volume of fire from the FG42s rip any vehicle short of a light tank to shreds simply through raw dps. Honestly, losing the faust wasnt even a huge nerf because without it FSJ still hardcounter most light vehicles.
Let's be real, if paratroopers only had 5 men like rangers they would be woefully underpowered. You yourself mentioned that rangers get stomped by FSJ and per model paratroopers are actually WEAKER than rangers. Paras are powerful sure, but not as cost effective as rangers amd certainly not as cost effective as FSJ.
Yeah Fallschrimjagers are second only to Paratroopers, they really should be a CP3 unit, and I haven't used Rangers on a long time but LOL if they're still a 10 pop unit. Not worth it at all. |
...proabably the best infantry unit in the game. 6 man sqaud, parachutes in, doesn't need weapon racks or genade unlocks, reinforcement cost is good, if upgraded with Bazookas are excellent AT infantry. They can get LMGs or Thompsons. Unlike Riflemen, they are clearly superior to any stock OKW or OST infantry.
OKW Fallschrimjagers are a close second. In fact when Fallschrimjagers hit the field I fell like USF Paratroopers are the only good infantry that can handle them. Riflemen are terrible against them and Rangers aren't any better, they might even preform worse than Riflemen do against Fallschrimjagers. |
