Still gets chosen by top 100 players so maybe it is not that "meh"
No earlygame advantages ? Riflemen beat Volks, Grens and even Sturmpioneers. Tell me more about no earlygame advantages
Probably. But it is by far not the only useful / strong part of this doctrine
Traditional "muh rifles" words.... Rifleman is maybe advantageous in early game but after grens get mg42 rifles bleeds like hell. So "rifles are best mainline inf in game" rhetoric does not help anything. And wc51 is ONLY thing that can pose threat to axis early game that in USF arsenal. Why every other faction has fun toys but not USF ?
I don't think I agree with everything(most) here, especially with all the squishy stuff. The M4a3 is no squishier than a cromwell and actually tanker than the t-34/76, the pak howitzer is no squishier than an leig, the Jackson while having slightly less armor than the su85 has more hp then the StuG.
Why ? Whole USF is based on squishiness. Why all USF topics is just like "guys USF has got pak howi and jackson so just shut up" narrative ? And constant circle jerk by waiting "muh jackson"crew. Most needed rifleman buff does not come until devm wanted. Main problem in this forum is just you guys bombard ideas for revive USF. USF need stock arty other than weird not tank not howi thing scott.
I dont think Jackson should be nerfed they already did it but about pack howie this thing need some rework but, other than that USF is in perfect spot.
What i want but is not really needed is unique vet1 in usf mortar something like single shell with phosphorus or flare or maybe supression barrage lol.
Yep USF is in perfect spot for being axis funtoy. You guys know that keeping riflemans alive is harder than keeping grens alive(rifle nades,bundle nades). But no one cry about it. But there is only one unit in USF that can damage wall of axis paks and mgs. And you guys still trying too nerf it. LOL. Relic please remove USF from this game. There is no room for USF other than meme play.
its not usf that is weak, it is UKF and SOV that is just better
Only thing that save USF is stock arty .Or change major arty and make big improvements and make it like UKF arty. Problem is Soviets and UKF can punish blobs easily with UKF on base arty and Soviets with katty and at gun barrage. What USF got ? Shitty major arty that can easily that can be very easily avoided and make no real damage. Main problem with USF is clear.
So when's the hotfix to mega buff USF dropping? After their embarrassing showing in the MLNZ finals it is obvious even to the lowest skill player that the faction is in need of supermassive buffs to every single unit to even compete with the god faction known as Ostheer.
I propose:
Riflemen start with double BARs when built
REs start with M1919s
Jackson 300 armour
Scott 70 range
CalliOP stock and double barrage lethality
Pack Howie 100mp cost
You get 2 LTs and 2 Cpts for teching
.50cal gets 0.1sec set up and tear down time
M1 AT gun doubled penetration
These buffs are a good start, maybe then the wheelchair faction will finally be able to somewhat compete with the superhuman 5man Grenadiers.
You dont give proper answer. Just make fun of logical proposals. USF is on life support. Thats obvious. 2 raketens block USF armor very much. Pak howie is only good thing that USF can field. And Axisfanboys still try to nerf it to ground. Proably they will get what they want. We need major buff for sherman bulldozer and maybe even stock roket arty for USF.
M20 is fine. Just makes you very vulnerable to the inevitable FlakHT/Luchs/222. If you buff its timing there will be no early game left, if you buff its performance the double light vehicle powerspike will snowball too hard.
WC51 isn't comparable with the m3 for obvious reasons. Should be nerfed imo.
Realy ? Just take everything from USF and give us fun toy for axis fun.Nerf USF to hell. Basicly USF is most weak faction right now. İ just switched to soviet main for that reason.
