People wanted T0 garrison counter, lots of good players did

I am assuming you are referring to team games because although garrisons are frustrating they are by no means op in 1v1. If you are reffering to mg spam or mgs rushing to key buildings thats different.

The thing is, the usf morter is not op vs buildings. IME a building and the unit inside can take indirect fire for a considerable amount of time. The counter to garrisons has always been flamers.

However, by trying to fix 1 problem in the game they have inadvertently broken other areas of the game and weakened the overall game. The usf morter is op vs non garrisoned and especially vs units bunched up in cover. I have always thought that indirect fire tends to remove positional play from the game because you will get wiped or at least loose enough squad members to be at risk of being wiped. So the game has devolved into bumrushing your opponent and trying to force a retreat.

The other problem is by giving usf a T0 morter it basically has all counters necessary to counter axis openings and thus another decision is removed from the game making it weaker overall. Some people will argue that each factions should have all tools available to counter opponent and the game should be decided entirely by micro and positioning. That to me seems like weak design because decisions are based entirely around which unit to build and less about teching and overall strategy.

Disclaimer : I am currently only playing usf and have been since brits bullshit began.

This so much. It's so dumb that anyone could ever build a trench in a spot and then simply walk out and leave knowing enemy can't use it against you. In COH1 at least Brits had to hit delete if they didn't want trench going to enemy which was also dumb but not as bad as current trenches with invisible lock

If trenches could be used by everyone then you have to give some thought to where you place them and if you over extend your decision bites you in the arse. Its core coh2 doctrine. But not anymore because the game has to be retard friendly. Don't want anyones feelings to get hurt because they can't master coh. Seriously, just fucking hell.

So much of what relic does is just short sighted and poorly thought out. Usf morter anyone. No one wanted a morter except retards that basically want everything ( but thats another thread ). And no one wanted a rapid fire morter where the second shell fires before the first one lands. And no one wanted more indirect fire before gren wiping was fixed.

Nuking panthers. Ok.
Replays please.

Lmfao

I concur, a smaller 60 mm moarter would be fine or some nerfs to damage.

Iam gonna be honest, this is text book example of bad design. Units like the WC50 and Combat Engineers shouldnt be in a doc but come in as standard units in tier 0.

For Wc 51 unit give them rangers in that doc. For the combat engiees76 mm sherman.

Your units choices from the start would be Rears Comb Engiees, Rifles and Truck. Think of the openings! Need close quarter combat with flamer get a engiee, have a open area ? Get a truck. The flexibility that is suppose to be there would be represented by the unit choices to tackle different scenarios.

Combat engiees and trucks wouldnt change the dynamic of the match much other then adding options then just rifles.

+1 . Exactly.

Usf core design is simply f*#@ed. It is really strange how they arrived at the decision to omit certain units and abilities when they had coh1 formula to reference.

I haven't used morter much cause it is not my playstyle but i have to say i was suprised how quickly it fires.

Adding morter to t0 was weak and lazy and just a refusal to accept that usf should have flamers somewhere in core buildings.

you cry about usf rifel man with zooks ?
kill them with ur volks then !!!! or obers or fulshems its ez if they spam zooks !!!
dont conter rifels with zooks by a puma or light okw tank its stupid


and for you i will explane again why shreks spam needs to stay banned

okw is facing paper usf tanks like shermans or t34 [sovit ] this tankes can be easaly taken even by zooks

but usf is facing the heavyest tanks like panther tiger king tiger even if you will give usf to spam shreks we wont win them with this kind of wepon for heavy tanks we will bring jekson

+1.

Most people have their build orders and simply fail to adjust to what is on the field. Iirc the damage handheld weapons do vs infantry has been reduced so rifles with mass zooks are severely weakened in ai department.

Its like if I see a puma before i build a stuart. I don't continue to build my stuart and then just yolo into okw territory unsupported.

That all being said the usf is still flawed with being able to equip double weapons of any sort.
Frp is also problematic and rewards blobbing on occasion.
