Their vet does not give them any bonus for fighting and they are even more fragile than partisans and cost a buckload to reinforce. |

Get the vet 1 ability for luchs and the luchs is nearly unkillable. In a light vs light, luchs out DPS T-70 and Stuart and he can also scout for your army. You'll only need 1 but it's all you need against shocks/para. |
Give me Calliope and US can have a nice heavy tank. |
In my experience, I find it easier to keep JLI alive easier than Falls. Falls arrive 1CP later and usually need to get in close while JLI can snipe enemy from a far. With vet they can even counter Soviet sniper, which is the hard counter to OKW inf.
Note: anybody experience the same bug with booby trap and luchs camo? |
Great guide, about the Jaeger Light Inf, they are still useful late game due to the extra view range and their sprint ability, with vet they can kite every inf, force the enemy to come to your inf and bait the US blob into mines or Booby trap. Compare with Falls, JLI scales better into late game because you don't really needs nade and faust from Falls late game, while sprint and 50 view range is always good, and JLI is cheaper. My only gripe is that JLI can't pick up anything, even medkit.
Note: there is some bug with booby trap, if the point was trapped and went off, you can't trap the point again.
Luchs are better than Ostwind against Soviet, faster, cheaper and awesome vet ability. (The luch can still camo while being repaired by Sturmpio). |
T2 OKW against sniper is terrible, maybe Sib should have gone T1 and get an AAHT out? |
Trip wire is good but its sad every nonsupport squad gets it. Guards and shocks could use some more fancy stuff
Give shocks the fire superiorty back and give Guards hit the dirt, both ability at vet 2. Currently, tripwire flare is pretty lackluster because the vision don't really benefit Soviet army much when most of their stuff works best at close range and the long range unit can spot for themselves (SU-85, ISU). |
Vetted Volks are much more durable than other infantry except shocks: reduced dmg received, less suppression, self healing and you complain they are not durable enough. (Baring shit like KV-8, B4 or Kat) |
Currently due to the meta, everything Panther can do the Puma can do it better and at way cheaper cost. Puma can actually kite Allied tank with its range, accuracy and view range. Currently, the only Panther worth getting is the Command Panther. Building normal Panther is just doesn't worth it, u better save your resources on KT or spent it on Jadgpanzer or Puma. |
Instead of a heavy tanks, perharps US can have a heavy in the role of supporting like the Jumbo Sherman, M12 GMC or Callie? That way US can remain competitive till late game without breaking their faction design. |
