Kubel is most likely going to be made into a scout with like relic was trying out in alpha. The MG should be moved to the medic HQ building to reinforce it's infantry centric playstyle, the base HQ already has enough.

One must also consider the fact that lower-ranked and skilled games play much differently than the top 200 ranked players.

If you had graphs of players in the top 200, 500-201, 501-1.000, 1.000-2.000, 2.001-4.000, 4.001-8.000, 8.000-15.000, then 15.000+ it would be different.

Those are really arbitrary numbers but, you know, whatever. The point is that it would be nice to get data from across all skill levels in order to make a more accurate decision about the win ratios of factions in 1v1.

Yes this is true. But considering that USF is the most micro-intensive faction, I can only imagine it getting even lower the lower down the rung you go. USF has a repetation as the hardest faction to play.

I wasn't reffering specifically to you, so please don't take it personally. All i'm saying was that the 222 change wasn't tested properly.

Somehow OST competed with USF just fine the previous patches, even if the 222 costed munis. And the 222 was still made, so i fail to see what you are trying to say here. The m20 makes no sense because the 222 is cheaper and counters it very easily. USF needs a shock unit early game because rifles simply do not cut it againts the current MGs. A stuart currently is such a unit, AA HT is to a lesser extent. M20 has lost its shock value.

Sorry for getting worked up.

I think you are right that ostheer got a few too many buffs to their early game, between the new MG42s, pios, and snipers it's a bit too much. I really don't think the problem with USF if their light vehicles though, in fact that's probably the only good thing they have going for them. Nor do I think the changes made were particularly wrong moves.

It's just that the game was changed so that rifles can't deal with every single situation. The problem being that relic didn't give USF the proper changes to actually be effective in this new environment. So USF is forced from the very beginning to be reactive to their opponent and is drained of both manpower and munitions trying to win every engagement with the now underwhelming power of rifles.

Relic was stupid to cut the mortar despite the large majority saying that they needed it, while not really dealing with the already existing issues of the faction. USF has way too many weaknesses and the few things that actually worked before are now weaker then ever. Relic needs to actually take a good look at the USF and really think about what they need to be a good faction across all modes, which is something they really haven't done since the WFA alpha.

It's because the way the 222 is coded is that it's main gun is the machine gun because that was the gun it was built with when it was still the 221. So they just havent gotten around to changing it yet.

Knowing relic they'll just buff rifles. Not that that's bad per se, but.

Other then buffing their vet a bit, I really wouldn't want them to just buff rifles. Rifles are fine, it's the lack the effectiveness and veriety of support units that's killing USF. The reason the bleed is so bad is because rifles are doing the brunt of the work no matter what build you go for and like all general infantry the more they fights the more they bleed.
