Every bulletin should stack. There's 5 which most likely won't because they weren't changed along with the rest of the bulletins when they were last fixing them:

T34/85 armor
IG18 ability recharge
Ostwind Armor
Stug E armor
WFA 4% sherman/Panther armor will not stack on sherman but will on panther

Today I learned the Scott was OP. All this time I had considered it pretty much worthless in 1vs1 ever since the great direct fire nerf because the Sherman does the exact same thing while also being able to crush and having double the health pool and crappy AT on demand.

I see Scott as the (only) USF anti-infantry vehicle for late game teamgames where shermans have the life expectancy of an ostheer sniper in the middle of a rifleblob.

For those saying that USF late game is weak... please watch this replay.

Without having watched replay:

Absolutely nobody with a clue is saying USF AIRBORNE late game is weak. But that's one commander, what about the 4 with trash lategame (Rifle Company does OK even if it loses to airborne, hence 4). Plus it's Semois summer, what do you expect, to lose as allies on that map?

LEIG
M10
Ostheer Sniper
Ostheer Officer


Definitely don't belong on this list, they're all great units in some situations.

LEIG has accuracy issues, but on maps like Langres with a ton of hills that handily stop it from overshooting, it will do absolutely fantastic.

M10 is best allied infantry crusher. Don't think of it as an AT unit, think of it as a melee anti-infantry unit that can provide some minor AT support.

Ostheer sniper is great sometimes. Mostly not in 1vs1 though.

I'd love to have a commander with both panzer tactician and officer, but because I'm always forced to pick one of them I end up with the more generally useful smoke. But he is definitely strong when in the right place at the right time.



Not gonna vote for any one unit, but per faction:

Ostheer: LEFH (commander required and pathetic damage)
OKW: IR HT (vet1 kubel does the exact same thing for cheaper, no tech requirement, and some actual combat utility) or PIV J (horrible commander required for an average medium tank when you already have super easy access to panthers)
Soviet: AI Partisans (lose to HMG squad members at times, bad commander required)
USF: M21 (suboptimal commander required, basic fire modes absolutely worthless, only saving grace is phosphor)

Great game, honored.

Cruzzi can you tell us why you chose T34/85's instead of IS2? Obviously you made the right choice... but what were you thinking while the game was going and before POP went for the lategame push to your cut-off?

I assumed he was fortifications. IS2 is not good against Pak43 play, sure you have the incendiary barrage to clear it occasionally but when the pak43 is up your IS2 basically can't go anywhere near because of it being relatively slow and yet no more durable than T34/85 against it.

More generally, I just wanted damage output, which the IS2 lacks. It's just a giant bullet sponge when your opponent isn't fielding any heavy armor.
