experience is not feels. When you have a panzerIV come clear a position out in 15 seconds vs sherman he getting chased away with less than half health form fausts, it's a big difference. It's not feels, it happens. There isn't anything wrong so much with the p4, but it's gen purpose rounds do the same work the HE rounds do, I'd argue better, but at least equal. It's not something made up, it's observable.

The fact that double BAR rifles exist kind of cancels this out though. They'll stand a decent chance against pgrens and obers and there should be a lot more of them in the lategame.

Also HE sherman exists.

Valid, but having to pay 120mu for a decent chance is inefficient. HE rounds are so RNG. You have to get lucky and you have to make sure there is no obstructions between the Sherman and target. HE rounds will always hit the obstruction instead of the target if so. The accuracy/scatter of HE rounds is so bad, sometimes you can be sitting there firing for half a minute before getting that lucky shot. Most opponents I face aren't bothered by it, until that lucky shot happens.

The sloppy play axis efficiency affords players in larger team games is a joke. It's not even fun for me to play axis. I have to play against an allied team way over my skill to sweat as axis. Why are axis infantry lobbing bundle grenades as far as other units are lobbing smaller grenades? The extra explosives must be heavier. Satchels and gammon's aren't being thrown so far.

I think axis dps is more of an issue. Especially with the larger squad sizes, but most importantly their accuracy. It gets to the point where a squad can last maybe a second or two exposed to some axis units before needing to retreat. Compare that to what must be the worst, RE who can nearly be ignored in almost every situation without a rack weapon.

I remember in the first coh was out, I think one of the developers was asked about why the infantry miss so much or fire off so many rounds. They said something like the battles would be over too quickly otherwise, so they opted for this model where the infantry battles lasted. We've all play fps games, you know you don't need 25 rounds with a garand to pop some guys head in front of you.

The way I see it, most of the allied units are sticking to that model, while certain upgraded axis units are breaking it, mainly due to having extremely high accuracy at all ranges.

More evidence can commonly be found looking at the difference in flanks. I know many players like to say that axis needs high dps because allies have high squad counts. However, when you apply to this team weapons, it doesn't really hold up. A single axis squad will typically wipe out a team weapon it flanks, especially if it's something like a pgren, ober, falls(omg they are lol). the team weapons get that extra received accuracy, so they are super easy to hit. I think that was intended long ago to help allied sides benefit from smart play(as opposed to retarded blobbing), but with what's available now, it helped axis assure a squad wipe more. On top of that, many axis blob players can attack machine guns(of any faction) head on and their dps is so high that they will kill each man before he fires the machine gun.

I don't mind on some units, like obers, because if that mg34 gets dropped axis is going to be in for a world of pain. The stg44's don't get dropped. The falls don't drop a gun. So people can use those weapons more risky. I know allies have some too, like shocks and commandos, which if you let them get into close range with their smg you're toast, but they have to get in close.

Some of the axis accuracy values can be lowered without breaking the game.

sounds like he's getting outplayed to me. As soon as I read pak howi and .50 in the same game. Nope, that means this guy got an lt and a cpt, which I don't see very often. Typical OST thing to do is find some resources and camp on it until brumbar/p4. So, pak howi is supposed to be used on static positions. Sounds like you just don't want your opponent to have anything effective against you, which would be a pretty boring game.

Rifles are pretty tough to handle as OST with just infantry, but OKW is able to overpower USF quite easily with more than 1 squad type. I've had okw blobs attack .50 from the front and never get suppressed.

It doesn't always penetrate at max range, it bounces more at max range. On some heavy tanks it even bounces at near range.
