HT is good, cause you can creep and push the line. Flamer is not good, specially when most people who goes for snipers also gets Guards to counter any light vehicle.

I'll be writing this while i'm watching the replay.


-Why not start MG + Gren (less waste time). By the time building finish you have enough mp
-Cap in the borders. That's the difference most of the time between been able to get a house or not.
-You have an MG and Gren inside a house covering nothing while you are been cut off.
-As they have said, you are better fighting off early on, on the left side.
-Sniper early on (6-7) did practically nothing.***(later it did work)
-IF this was a real M5 rush you would had been dead. Thxfully he got Molotov (which weren't needed IMO since he had flamer and mortar)
-Your opponent lost badly too many squads early on and the 1st M5 arrived at 10:30. ***(this is the only reason you stayed in the game)
-At this point, no LMG nor tellers. NVM, 1st one popups at 11:00
-12min base rush of the M5. At this point going mobile defense and Puma (you had both resources and CP) would had been a good idea.
-15/17 badly engaged. Lost your MG, pak and 222 for only a M5 quad. Same with the newly build 2nd pak.
-There was no point on teching at that point. Again Puma + Command tank would had been enough in combination with paks.
-Your so called "M5 spam" were 2 "late" ones. He could had gone for a T70 and you would also have no answer.
-The Ostwind died after it was called (change your rally points).
-Even if it would had been alive, it would had done nothing. He tech-ed and was with 400f. He could had gotten a T34-85 and sealed the game.
-Commanders: Elite wouldn't had done anything on this situation (unless he mindlessly lost things to the TA and didnt amass T34s). Both CAS and mobile defense would had help. LMG + Teller spam (he had only 1 engi with flamer) or Puma + Command tank.

Conclusion: you were outplayed through out the game. No usage of commanders which would had given you at least some hope.

TL;DR: miss aproach to the map in combination with some micro errors. Compensation with some wipes early on but still no map control. There was no M5 spam (just 2 and the first one was kinda late) nor early con spam (it was 2/3 cons with MG and mortar).

I don't understand why the people saying "it's a poor ability" are the same people saying "don't take it away". If it was that bad, why would you care?


Clearly you find it useful. I think usefulness should:
A) Have a cost
B) Not come in bundles of various types (AI, AT), especially in relatively cheap units.


In a game that could be called "Clumping of Heroes", splash damage weapons are very potent. The barrage is good.

"It's more like, "please don't make a small and unnecessary nerf to a unit that is not actually over performing."
Although i would reduce pen a bit (enough to deal with medium, a bit less effective against heavies). You could also increase a bit more the cooldown and i don't think anyone would complain.

Reducing range on the main gun or giving it a muni cost are not options i would contemplate.


If you think the barrage needs a muni cost, then i think that free "maphack" vet1 Kubels has been needing a rework since launch. Why is it that OH has to pay munitions and OKW get it for free ?

And thus you've only solved the problem with Soviet and Ostheer, not USF or UKF. Furthermore, the ML-20 can be reinforced with Conscripts, so Ostheer and their already inferior LeFH would get the short end of the stick in both performance and sustainability.

Connect the dots. Katyusha...Panzerwerfer...Stuka...Priest...Sextons. Theres no problem there.

LeFH and ML20 both needs a rework. I'll either go for native 200damage and just reducing the number of shells on the ML20 by 1 or 2.
Regarding reinforce, both have natural access now to HT (you can't skip T3 nor T2) and as OH you can always get a reinforce/medic bunker nearby.

PD: artillery needs a rework so other areas of the game can be improved as well.

Riddle me this - as Ostheer, how one kills IS2 supported by 3x SU76 and covered by P47?
Answer is - he does not.

SU76 might not look OP on its own but it definitely helps to create some abusive, cheesy scenarios in which no matter what you do - you are fucked.

Riddle me this - as Soviet, how one kills Tiger supported by 2 Stugs and a pak (with TWP) and covered by Stuka close air support (the ability not the doctrine). Answer is: L2P.

Look, without the help of a partner i have the same setup with a similar cost. Shocking!
