Teching cost and time is the biggest issue of Ostheer, I will stay away from it until they tweak it. After Rifles AT nade becomes working, there is not much hope left in Ostheer vs USF matchup, the M15AA wasn't the biggest nightmare of Ostheer, the vet 2 Rifles, CP0 clown car and M20 can defeat Ostheer very fast.
I own U.S. very easily with Ostheer imo Ostheer best faction in the game easily. They didn't get anychanges becuase they don't need them. Yes U.S. has a slight early advantage but its no problems if you don't play stupid and then mid to late game is U.S. rape time no joke.
Lets start with OKW -when i was reading the units changes i felt ok RIP to what was already the weakest faction (except high team games).I mean took away obers,last counter to maximspam in ISG.
BUT crucial change in 100% munitions..we don't have any idea what this is going to do to the meta.Also a slight buff on the luchs.
A MAJOR buff on the mg-34.Lets see if this helps vs maximspam.
Overall excited abt this new OKW-only disappointment-nothing on the panther.
USA-
Very good timely changes .Need to see if halftrack small nerf works.
Atleast the jeep and vet 2 got fixed.
Deserved change on pack howie and mortar halftrack.
Like teh stuart change-everybody gets truck and this should help diversify hopefully.
Overall it highly depends on how useful halftrack nerf is-if it works wehr might finally have more of a chance.However nothing was done to us blobbing.Easy eight will need future adjustments for OKW i'm willing to bet.
SoVIET -
Spot on changes to katyusha and isu.
WEHRMACHT -
Imo greatest failing of this patch..its like faction wa scompletely ignored.
Still same huge teching costs.
Large numbers of useless units due to this,among them FHT,brumm,werfer.
Panzergrenadiers still useless.
Most of all panthers still useless and elefant still useless..the 1 tank endgame is again encouraged.Farcical stuff here.
Ostheer is the best most rounded out faction in the game there is absolutely no problem with teching costs and tier4 except that its not that attractive only because stupid op call ins come way too early its a completely different issue. and call ins come too fast for all factions period.
U.S vs Ostheer Balance is very good actually and makes for the funnest matches and no the halftrack does not need to be nerfed I have won my last 8 matches vs us with ostheer if you need help ill be happy to give up some replays.
I was since early days coh1 and while slightly disapointed at launch probably mute due to unrealistic expectations more then anytHing have still always firmly believed coh 2 is an improvement and has much more potential depth then coh 1
