So, I'm curious. When you play as Soviets or USF, and you encounter either the Elefant or the JT in 4v4, and somebody else in the team has fielded either a Brummbar or a King Tiger, how do you counter that?

I apologize bringing thisk topic up but in answer to your question, I would counter Elephant Brummbarr/kt etc. In a similar way to how brosras did --> spam t34s and attack in pairs. I think this is a perfect example of how the effectiveness of elephants are negated.

If you don't wanna watch the whole thing skip to around minute 42. That's where the elephant gets taken out.

I still think each of these units should have a pop cap just a little bit lower. Major still has utility, can cap call down arty etc, and ambulance can be used as Half-track for reinforcing and healing on the front so it also needs a popcap. I'd reduce but not eliminate their popcap

• Rocket artillery（Only katyusha is non doctrinal on ally side, while axis can access stronger ,more effective, reliable rocket artillery earlier called OP stuka)
  
• double-upgraded infantry(axis every single weapon upgrade is more effective and dont havw to pay extra tech cost and be able to upgrade on field and can preserve more munition for off map ability)
  
• off-map artillery(most of the axis off map is stronger while cheaper)
  
• on-map artillery(axis mortar dominant dps, isg dominant range , stuka dominant all non-vehicle artillery of ally and all of them are non-doctrinal)
  
• snipers + micro (axis's sniper is more effective)
  
• Medium tanks (elefant and jagtiger comepletely forbid ally medium tank defensive play)
  
• strafing runs(Dont you know SCAS is cheaper but stronger than p47)
  
• shock troops + for the motherland(sink munition everytime to close the gap of ultimate long range fire power of axis is meaningless)
  
• Rangers + use of truesight(strum can use the same tactic to tear you before you can get ranger)
  
• learning to play, axis players
  

You could've just said Axis OP plz nerf.

I think too many people are trying to get an edge in their preferred playstyle, game mode, and/or faction, and not enough people are looking at this game comprehensively.

I don't think many people even understand what a meta game is in the first place, let alone what state coh2 meta is in.

Two things create meta.
1. Units that force a certain playstyle from your opponent (ex. KT forces the enemy to build TDs since it wipes everything else, comet rolled over everything and forced enemy into Panthers)

2. Units that are chosen due to 1. (Ex. Enemy has masses of TDs and indirect fire and the only way I can deal with them (as ostheer) is by using an elephant. Enemy has loads of terminator infantry, therefore I'll need indirect fire to counter blob.

In my opinion, the units in the first category should be considered for nerfs, and the units in the second category should either be left alone, buffed, or created (if a certain faction has no counter to a certain type 1 unit).

Im not saying type two units shouldn't ever be nerfed, or type 1 buffed, I'm just saying this is the order of approach to changes that should be considered.

This means that if a faction is struggling against a type 2 unit, they should be able to deal with it by changing their play style and army builds which would negate it's usefulness. This is how it's done in 1s and 2s but this starts to fall apart in 4s since you will be facing counters to every army build.

The solution to this problem is to buff the type 2 units slightly and nerf the type 1 units.

Summary:
All in all , counters to type 1 units (aka type 2 units) SHOULD NOT BE NERFED because then you won't have an answer to enemy army composition. Type 1 units should be held in check by making sure they have a weaknesses and reliable counters.

I hope this makes sense.

+1

Also, where is the rework on that map (2v) which i can't remember the name and was promised to comeback?

Soon™

Edit: Einhoven Country

OMG I loved Einhoven Country! I made a thread like 9 months back asking for this map again. It's one of my favorites. I think most maps should be designed similar to this one with an open side and closed side, wide and not long. Opens up for flank points and keeps the battle going from side to side.
