GG WP to my opponent.

I had been outplayed at some points of the game but lack of any hard-counter to kill snipers sealed my fate. Light vehicles could do the trick but against a good player (as shown in the replay) they cannot kill snipers, and those guys just worsen the USF's MP drain.

Hidden Pathfinders/better arty usage could have worked, but only with some luck.

This problem applies to the OKW, the lack of effective sniper counters must be fixed. I'm not calling them overpowered or anything, just the WFA doesn't have the necessary tools to hunt them down.

Any advice is welcomed.

From a wehr point of view because I suck at playing USA:

1. Never go Captain against Wehr, M15 and M20 are a million times better than the lousy half-AT Stuart and Lieutenant is a much stronger combat unit than Captain and comes on field much faster. M20 in particular can always hit the field before T2 is up and thus has free reign to bleed a couple of models from grens as even double faust will not kill it as long as you upgrade skirts.
2. Always upgrade sweepers against Wehr as more or less the first thing in the game, don't lose your manpower expensive vehicles to tellers. You have no real other use for munitions because all munition abilities for US largely suck and rear echelon can't beat anything with or without sweepers so you're losing no combat power either.
3. Don't get Mortar HT, it fires slow and never hits anything. If you do get one despite this, just spam the white phosphor rounds on cooldown, because they're literally the only thing the unit has going for it
4. Don't get Priest either, too expensive for no performance. Get M8A1s or shermans instead.

The old system needs to come back. Getting tired of seeing rifle spam, volks spam, PF spam, fallschirmjager spam, etc etc.

Way to misunderstand.

You could just raise the popcap on mainline infantry if you really thought this was an issue. Also just to be clear, in the end it really was only US infantry with the ridiculous upkeep. As a simple example, conscripts with their upkeep of 9 are actually more expensive than a squad of KCH (8), and the exact same cost as Commandos (9). I'm pretty sure Conscripts would in fact be the most expensive infantry unit upkeep wise ignoring US units. I guess I worded my original post badly, mainline infantry in CoH2 is RELATIVELY cheaper than in CoH1 purely because support weapons and tanks are much more expensive in upkeep.

God knows why this game is worth posting, but ok. Trying to see if I can win against sniper spam without using stukas or pumas or multiple luchs and without using fallschirms or jaegers for cheap kills (which you provided plenty of opportunities for). Semois probably not a good map to try this because guards in houses completely lock me down (hence the ISG that was quite useless), but alas.

Was a fun game against somewhat un-meta play from WewE. StuGs are magic on Langres, though I think the PIV deserves the MVP despite not actually killing anything.

^the at gun isnt that bad.
5.effects all at guns. paks get one shotted by is-2 all the time. zis get one shotted all the time by tiger.

No, the USF atgun has the worst of all worlds because it has a 4 man crew on the allied side.

And you can say RNG all you want, basically 9 out of 10 games where you face wehr as USF you see Stug Es, and they are extremely consistent in dealing with zookas and atguns. Sometimes you can lure into an M20 mine, the rest of the time you better have a sherman waiting for them or you're royally fucked because once the downhill starts, it never ends for USF.
