Why support teams are still able to cap territory?
Simple solutions for all the problems.

No unit spam should be this effective and I am saying not only about maxims right now but every kind of spam should be countered heavily and unfortunately this is not the case with CoH2.

Combined arms should win every time provided similar skilled opponents are involved. Right now it's actually the opposite.
You can beat more skilled opponent with easy using cheese tactics.

OKW is a faction crippled by design. It's a cool faction but when the honeymoon period is over you will start to notice glaring issues that can be exploited. So many cool units you can't build because that will put you behind tech. Panther, while it's a great tank destroyer, it's too weak in general to be a main tank in a faction that has been designed as one tank army.
No reliable crowd control. MG34 is a joke and Kubel is too vulnerable + too unpredictable.
US will blob you to death and Soviets will drive over you with a million of tanks.
And ISU is as stupidly OP as it was. Range reduction does nothing if it can still one shoots infantry.

I'd say his analysis and understanding of the game is waaay better than a lot of the balance forum heroes here.
He made some odd comments but I do agree on MG42, Volks and much more.
Also I agree that US late game is really strong but majority of players can't utilize it well.
Wermaht needs some love as this has been carried over from pre expansion era.
Dpn't necessarily think Maxim over performs it's rather MG that is not up to its standards.
PzII is in a weird tier. It comes way too late to be fully effective and at that point in the game it's better to save fuel and go Obersoldaten.
Volks loose to every infantry in the game (maybe except to Cons at max range) and in the late game they are only a shreck carriers and having only one and no way to cripple a vehicle doesn't make them and good at AT neither. I get the combined arms thing but if you invest heavily in volks you are limiting your AI. Grenades are giving them a bit of edge sometimes but it's not hard to dodge them and OKW can't really spam them neither.

People complain about Obersoldaten but they are 2 shooted by a Sherman or T-34.

Kugel it's too clunky. HP boost it got helps but even in the early game it can be focus fired so easily. Plus terrible patching on top of that.

OKW AA trcuk can't even safely retreat from an AT gun without using a smoke. AT gun will always get it. That's really all you ahve to do to counter this unit. Get a ZiS and just right click it. Don't worry about infantry. You got 6 men squads.

Stuka is a funny one. People say it's OP but I don't think you get your money worth when getting one. 100 fuel investment that is good at destroying units or punishing really bad players. Single light tank can hunt it down.

So in the end I agree on his opinion that OKW is too specialized. I understand that's the way it is but when you design army in this way you have to make sure EVERY unit is useful and comes at the right time.

By no means OKW is a weak faction. It's strong but only in a "set" frame. When you go beyond this frame you get mediocre units that are overpriced.
Plus going the same BO every game will get boring after a while.

The Jackson is, for some wildly incomprehensible reason, looks like it's on the Wovlerine's chassis. It's one of the most expensive tanks in the game and goes down in three hits from an AT Gun and doesn't penetrate armour half the time.

If the maps were decently designed to allow for rapid maneuver of tanks and to allow them to flank and get behind other tanks easily before swiftly moving out of range(i.e. actual harassment) then this might not be a problem.

But the maps are not designed like that. They're designed with choke points and pathblockers which makes microing one of these things in a way that makes it work as it looks like it was meant to be designed, effectively impossible. This is already a big problem in 1v1 games to start with, it is dramatically exacerbated in team games where there is much more firepower on the field.

It needs an armour buff. It's paper thin, and while I hate to resort to the "realism" argument, the kind of fuck up Relic has done here is on par with making a Luchs as durable as a Tiger. The Jackson has much, much, much better armour - arguably on par with a Tiger I. So it's baffling to me that it's one of the weakest tanks in the game in that regard.

320/126 fuel and you call this expensive? It's penny's worth for what it can do. It's cheaper than PzIV (!)

I'd say he's pretty spot on. What's your opinion?

I know It goes without saying but please comment only after watching the video.
