You know this once again sounds very much what a ost player faces when he faces he faces maxim spam with guards. their is a lot of whine of players. but to be honest not one of you buys the zooka and then complain that you dont have anti vehicle options.

1. Kubel takes 3 hits to kill with a zooka

2. Zooka accuracy against Kubel is 0% at the range Kubel can suppress you at (seeing as it has more range), and 50% if you somehow manage to get into zooka range when not suppressed. Less than 10% if you happen to get suppressed by it or one of the other half a dozen kubels in the area.

3. Zookas cost 60 munitions each, while you start with 0 and have maybe 15 income for the first 6 minutes before an m20 can try break you out...except getting a zooka means that'll be first 8 minutes by which the puma is already chilling out next to your base or the obersoldaten production line has started producing some balanced axis infantry to welcome you. *

*In fact I suspect you get more zookas out by the 7 minute mark by making two m20s instead of trying to tech for zookas. Not that zooka is in any way a realistic counter to Kubel, even the (lol) BAR does better.

I'm sure you are making this magically work with your german wundermagic.

Meanwhile, what do I do against maxim spam as ostheer? Grenspam. What do I do against maximspam as okw? Volkspam. And it works pretty much every single time, maxims have always been the weaker of the sniper/maxim start choice since over a year ago.

USF aren't bad as support for a soviet player with ISU. If they pick Infantry for Priests or Airborne for P47s, and use their tanks EXTREMELY defensively because they can't push shit. But arguably soviets are just far better suited for teamgames.

With P47, USF is arguably stronger than soviets are at anti-tank. But their anti-infantry in a teamgame setting is severely lacking, so they really need a soviet player to cover that side with snipers and/or ISUs.

Well...if the full munition income is here to stay, there is a shitton of OKW abilities that are waaaaaaaaay underpriced

Examples:

Fusilier G43, 90 munition, stronger than 3 BARs, 180 munitions+150mp+15fuel
OKW booby trap, 50 munition, exactly same ability as soviet doctrinal booby trap, 100 munitions
Infiltration nades, 10 munitions, exactly same ability as assault grenadier nades, 45 munitions

etc etc

I will never understand how people can actually have problems against maxims with OKW. Just spam volks until you have enough fuel to start spamming obers and you'll win, it really is that easy.

Snipers are pretty much the one single non-fuel unit for soviets that OKW have a harder time against than ostheer, which is why every single decent allied player is now going T1 start with 2 or 3 snipers --> T2 --> ZiS --> callins, usually with guards for extra protection because Luchs can easily flank even two ZiS due to their shitty fire rate.

Yes, honestly the only real advantage to the LEFH is that if you are Joint Ops, you can use the artillery officer to ignore cooldown in exchange for munitions.

They removed all the cooldown and scatter advantages the LEFH had without actually giving it the damage of the ML-20 back when they last changed the howitzers ages ago. Never really understood why, not like anyone was using them so clearly it wasn't a balance issue.
