Thread: Are the PIATs worth investing in?4 Jul 2018, 23:17 PM PIATs are friggen terrible, worst hand held AT in the game. You have to get right up next to the vehicle you're attacking and then they bounce or miss more than any other AT like that. Never ever have I seen bazookas or panzerschreks preform so badly. That said you should still get them and put them on your Royal Engineer sqauds because its all you get for hand held AT as Brits. Brens used to be awesome. That's why Axis cry babies moaned and got them nerfed into the akward and dumb state they're in now. It used to be important to get double Brens because you needed them to counter vetted Axis infantry and elite non-doc infantry like Obers and Panzergrens. So they nerfed the Brens but did they nerf the Obers and Panzergrens or their OP grenades? NOPE! In: UKF Strategies
Thread: Royal engineers4 Jul 2018, 23:09 PM Royal Engineers are probably the most worthles unit of its type when it comes to combat. Even putting PIATs on them kind of sucks since they can be so easily wiped by a Panzer IV and Ostwind. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: How viable are Easy 8s?4 Jul 2018, 19:55 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2018, 11:58 AMswordfisch I really don't understand why E8's were nerfed in DBP, especially when P4 and panther have been buffed so much and t34/85's remain godmode. Oh I understand completely. A balance team that placates Wehraboos. The patches they make only serve to screw over USF and UKF and occasionally scale back OKW. In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: Your thought on USF early game28 Jun 2018, 04:36 AM I feel like REs are a little bit over priced for what they are. Two ideas I have: Leave them the same but reduce their purchase cost to something like 180 MP and 20 MP reinforcement cost. Leave the cost the same but add a 5th man to start or maybe add a 5th man at vet 1 instead of 3 and remove the pointless volley fire ability. I think it would be kind of cool to go with option 2 since it would give USF and alternative core infantry unit. One thing about USF (and UKF for that matter) is they don't get any kind of elite infantry unit like how OST gets Panzergrens or OKW gets Obers unless they go with a doctrine. This wouldn't be adding an elite infantry unit but like I said it would give USF an alternative build besides spaming riflemen. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How viable are Easy 8s?28 Jun 2018, 04:25 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2018, 04:12 AMmondeogaming1 Rifle company if used right can be the best commander in my opinion for me he is the best commander i like E8 combo with scott and jackson and flairs with flamer and whie phosfour but i didnt like that E8 scatter nerf its bad enough vs infrantry lets make it worst good idea anyway i want a speed buff. Oh they nerfed its scatter? No wonder it seems to suck more now. I swear these balance guys love to nerf USF for no apparent reason. Did the P4 get a nerf? No. Did the MG42 get a nerf? No. Did the STUG get a nerf? Not really. But did the E8 get a nerf? Yes. Did the .50 cal get a nerf? Yes. If they were to give the E8 a buff I'd like it to get 800 health like the T34/85 and keep all other stats. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Rear Echelon Build orders28 Jun 2018, 04:18 AM I used to do RE spam but it doesn't seem to work against higher ranking players as you move up the ladder. What I've been doing lately is staring off with 3 REs then 2 riflemen and then teching to LT and unlocking the weapon rack after that. Towards mid game I like to let the rifles vet up but equip 2 of the REs with flame throwers and a BAR each, with the 3rd RE equipped with double bazooks to fend off light vehicles. Seems to work okay and helps you float a lot of manpower. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How viable are Easy 8s?28 Jun 2018, 04:04 AM It seems like they've lost some of their appeal since the Jackson is so much better than it was prior to the Winter patch last year and they don't seem nearly as good vs infantry as the standard Sherman. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: equiping priority with BARs28 Jun 2018, 03:57 AM I use Rifle Company and equip my REs with 1 bar and 1 flamethrower each. Then equip Riflemen with 1 BAR each then double BAR the Riflemen. REs seem to benefit more from weapon upgrades and when they get to vet 3 they're a surprisingly good for how cheap they are. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Westwall21 Jun 2018, 03:33 AM I hate this map. Too much crap scattered all over the place so you can't really use armor effectively. Also has the bug where the player on the north side has one of his base defense structures outside the boundries of the map so it will not fire on any attacking units leaving you open to early base rushes. Also can't stand the way the territories are divided up combined with the size and orientation of the map, its a bitch to defend once you've taken the territory. In: Summer patch 2018
