yea good luck flanking on certain maps with no ammo early game. Meanwhile your wasting ammo just for him to retreat.

I've noticed mg's tearing up lately again like old times. Then if they have 2 mgs...then what? Nothing to flank. And you cant take on the sturm horde on the other side.
I believe the US should have a sniper, single squad with some cool abilities. AND they should get T1 mgs or AT least normal freaking mortars. Not Mortar HTs that have so very limited line of sight. I know good players that tear up in 3on3 / 4on4 with the US/Soviets but in 1on1 US suck vs any decent OKW/Wehr player. Just my humble opinion. You have to scratch and claw to win while they just play cat and mouse with your units. The BARS upgrade should be FREE not cost 60 ammo just to pick it up...SO dumb. The rifles even in mass won't kill a tank in the same fashion the Volks will...utter BS if you ask me. Why didn't the US also get vet 5 units?
So many things I don't agree with. I know Rifles beat Grens and even Volks right off the bat...but mgs...uggg...

Also vet 5 volks with shreks...literally ridiculous. 1 squad would not die to the explosive rounds I was using and it killed a Sherman and lived by the time it was dead. That sounds realistic. And it appears to have no crush because I was trying to run him over to no avail. I'm given up making the "medium" shermans to fight off infantry. It simply fails to work against even 2 Volk squads.
I'd post the replay but it's ridiculous that I had the entire map only to lose late game to VPS from infantry spam while instead of going arty....which might have made the difference in me winning vs losing. Mixed troops vs Volkspam and the mortar barrage thing....simply ridiculous. I also took out 2 trucks I believe. 48 min loss. I only made shermans in the first place because I knew he was hurting for fuel. I had no idea that2 Volks could take on 2 Shermans.

cool. This will make playing OKW interesting..... maybe. They still steamroll anything late game...they gave OKW too much in my opinon. AT guns....shreks.... seems like they just stock up on AT, then ubersoldiers, then epic tanks...GG

Was also one of the most intense games I've ever seen in COH2.

The OKW guy would have won I believe if not for mark Target/bomb run/button. So you picked the perfect commander. I can only imagine if you had gone something even as simple as usuing the IS2. Wouldn't have been enough.

there is another way. Penals. M3. Guards...ISU. But it's very hard. Maxim spam is about the only thing I know what to do myself again OKW. Script spam will not work well at all. They are junk against OKW just like Rifles vs Grens(lose).

No. It is harder to beat OKW using Soviets than US I think in certain hands though, maybe not. I guess it all depends. But you won...even though it's not a 15 min win...you won regardless.
