Profile of T.R. Stormjäger

1. I didn't say con is trash, you said so, i mention penal as an example that a faction have more infantry choice, ukf only have tommy and tommy.
2. You say forward base is UKF's "mobile" reinforce, and that is wrong. Ost is designed to be more static and defense Orient, too, but why they still have pzgren and fast LV and mobile reinforce HT ?
3. Have you ever use th mortar pit yourself ? And i can say exactly the same about the case of gren, you dont use your support weapons to support gren, you dont get the result you want.
4. And UKF and sow have completely different line up, sow can chose to begin with better infantry, UKF can chose to invest early to make their infantry better. If you want mirroring then make move bolster to T2, then make them free at T3 or specializations, will you?
5. If 30 Mp mean nothing then why volk outperform con that much ? And if having double bren is to compensate for not having unit like panzer gren then why you complaint when it is better than single mg42 ? And dont bring in doctrinal because axis have their doc too. Furthermore If You say ukf have no right to have better infantry then who give okw and ost the right to have stock elites ??? Sory but You dont event try to hide you bias there.

7. I dont pretend anything, some guy bring up that tommy should lose sandbags, i simply dont agree with that because UKF doesn't have T0 engineer to built cover for tommy, that is all.

11. Sounds great until you actually have to use it.

Honest questions, do you play UKF ?

Yeah I’m not gonna bother with most of them but for the 5th point.

I have no bias, you do.

Ostheer has the right to get stock elites (pgrens) because their mainlines (grens) are static fighters and have a very hard time attacking on the move. In contrast sections are quite competent in attacking roles, with actual grenades, pyrotechnics, double brens available and mobile healing for free.
Soviets have the right to get penals otherwise conscripts would need a complete overhaul.
OKW has the right to get Obers at T4 since Volks were designed to be expendable trash vs the original riflemen. That design has gone away and I do think Obers are in a strange spot now that Volks are good, but blame Relic for it and I doubt the community team can remove them.

As for Volks beating cons, you have it completely wrong. Volks lose to cons, despite costing 20mp more. However, due to power creep and needing to deal with usf/ukf, volks got an stg upgrade which renders the matchup vs cons a one sided contest. Like I said though, if you go by purely numbers of initial deployment, cons beat grens, volks and fusiliers. You were the one who only cited mp costs, so here you go.

Double bren is there for you to use, my point is that it’s way too good so a slight bren buff with a weapon slot reduction would be the best course of action imo.

Let me repeat myself: UKF has no right to have the best infantry in the game. I don’t care if okw has Obers, usf has riflemen, soviets have penals, it’s literally irrelevant. Nobody should have to face ukf and watch their army melt because relic made sections absurdly OP just to sell DLC. Sections should have a reasonable power level which according to the balance team is their current one. Again, stock elite infantry has absolutely nothing to do with mainlines, as there are other tools available to compensate.

As for bias, I am in agreement with the balance team that within reason the UKF faction is fine at the moment. I guess everyobe is biased except for you.

Edit: I don’t think you play ukf if you really think pits are your only source of smoke. Maybe build a cromwell once in a while?

I think the KV8 is fine as is. Only thing I’d change is bundle up Scorched Earth and Radio Disruption, then I’d change the 7man upgrade so that the 7th man is a commissar so that the Conscript squad gets some slight benefit from it. I think it would be a good flavour addition while providing a tiny buff to the commander.

But... smoke isn't useful out of combat, so its combat utility too!
Plus, its not like 222 can't have smoke as well.

Smoke and riegel are doctrinal for ostheer, while the M20 gets them for free.

How would you change the M20 then?

Then why a 222 that cost barely the same as a M20 should destroy it?

Are people seriously arguing with costs again?

Are you seriously ignoring all the utility of the M20 "utility vehicle"?

1. They underperform by a lot as a 4 man so bolster is a must, or they have to be 5 man default.
2. Beside medical supply, UKF have the most expensive medic bunker and dont have access to mobile reinforce.
3. "Cool" artillery which can only hit static target as big as a building and require the unit to be deadly close to target.
4. Their base price and reinforce price is calculated around being a 5 mab squad, not 4 man.
5. A single bren is wost than 1 mg42 so 2 bren is required to bring then up to equal, more expensive but not significantly better.
6. They dont have buil in snare and giving them PIAT is a waste, sacrifice AI power.
7. They dont have T0 engineer unit to buil cover for them at the stat and being fucked without cover.
8. Tommy's nade is standard frag nade and has a minimum range. Gamon bomb again only work with static target.
9. They get debufff out of cover and close to non existence moving dps while the faction doesn't have a cqb - moving dps unit to fill the gap.
10. If you mean assault sections then good new is they is they just about ass gren lv but cone latter.
11. LOL Universal carrier is durable.

Are you sure you fully understand all the thing you are talking?

1. Cons suck but have to wait until T4 for bolster or pay in T3. Tommies have it much better.
2. Their medic bunker gives them mobile reinforce. They’re designed to be a more static faction.
3. Mg in building? Drop smoke, drop flare, building deleted. Smoke exists, use it.
4. That’s because everyone bolsters as soon as possible.
5. They don’t need to be better than an mg42. Grens are 4 men with an mg42, tommies are 5 men with a bren. 2 brens are absolute overkill and why the hell do tommies need to be better than grens in the first place?
6. This has been discussed to death. Giving sappers snares has revitalized the faction.
7. Most of the early game is spent capping. By the time you start dealing with coordinated assaults you should have sappers.
8. Absolutely nothing wrong with a standard grenade.
9. This has been the case for a while but the balance team refuses to remove the cover rof mechanic.
11. The UC’s competition in terms of T0 vehicles is the Kubel, the 221 and the Jeep. By far the most durable and has the best upgrades. Don’t you dare say it was better before the armour nerf, it was absolute cancer to deal with when facing ukf.
