I really don't know why people are already whining about the nerfed ML-20, before the nerf the LeFH was inferior, now it's the other way around, for the same price. I don't care much about the LeFH since the ML-20 is much stronger for me atm, since it's main strength is that it is incredibly potent vs. OKW basetrucks which are extremely vulnerable to it, now the OKW buildings don't get killed as fast as before and don't worry you can still basebomb the enemys HQ since the AOE profile stayed the same. Or is there any Infantry Unit that survives 160 dmg into the face?

The reduced damage will significantly reduce the area over which the damage will kill an infantry unit. Shells rarely kill with direct hits they require AoE. Also the reduced damage will increase the time it takes to kill OKW buildings and largely allow Sturm pio's to repair the damage faster than it can be dealt.

OKW base defenses have a squad of 2 men, they require 2 men to function. You literally only need to kill 1 dude and it will decrew itself. It also can't shoot down planes anymore, a change that was implemented a very long time ago.

Do you even read patch notes?

Flak Base Defenses
Another common concern we’ve seen is that OKW’s default AA is unfairly advantageous when compared to all other factions that are required to spend resources to build AA.
OKW base Flak Gun chance to shoot down aircraft has been reduced to 0.5%

0.5 still greater than 0 in my book.

And if you don't see how flames designed to deal with static positions will be much worse when used from a scout car I don't know what to tell you. The car's biggest draw is its ability to move and speed past hard targets to engage soft targets behind. Making it move infantry faster to the front does not fit with its role.

My mistake, I always go for T2 starts these days.



I don't see how this is that hard of a choice when you can get a light vehicle out of T3 that can kill any axis light vehicle other than a Puma out at like 6-7 minutes. Clown car shittery was dumb and silly, it's much better that flamers are actually flamers not some stupid mad max toy. Like you can still use an M3 to get behind and MG or do a flank you just can't chase and flame crit shit all the way back to an enemies base. Reliable performance always beats out everything unless you actually like bullshit RNG.

Going T2 quickly after isn't that hard either when it costs like 2-3 minutes of fuel income at most. The quickest thing the enemy can possibly make is a FHT and even those when rushed don't hit the field till minute 6-7.



Outside of doing damage to light vehicles, the flak gun's for base defense are actually worse than MG bunkers. Ever try decrewing one with quads or other stuff? It's really easy.

The problem is that a straight nerf to the scout car leaves it in a bad place. I can only be used to counter kubels if that is the case. Without the ability to push off infantry quick with flames its role in the early game is gone. Buff it, remove ability to transport troops.

Going T2 delays T3, going T3 directly means giving up field presence to OKW and possibly getting to the field at about the same time as the puma.

I understand your frustration with being chased back to base and burned down (this is really only an OKW problem), but nerfing T1 means it will be marginalized. Already Penals are borderline poor, Snipers are not as good as German version (except two man squads), and now scout car will be more useless.

Also base defenses of OKW do a fine job. Please post a video of Guards ROFL stomping the flaks. If I am decrewing someone's flaks the game has ended long ago. The ability of the base defense rounds to penetrate armor should not be ignored. It prevents T70's from chasing anything near the OKW base, but OKW does not have this problem on Allied bases with the Luchs. Their ability to shoot down planes, however marginal, is just poor design. Base defenses should not contribute to a players overall strategy.

Kind of. Except that now LEfh is superior to the ML-20 for no reason at all.

Having same damage , faster RoF, and firing more rounds. At vet 1 they fire the same but LEfh has counterbattery fire.


This is probably an overnerf, i suspect it being 200-240 in the live version.

Sorry it was meant as completely sarcastic comment, it did not come through on the internet obviously.

ML-20 Got nerfed so hard its silly. Reduction in damage by almost 50% and cannot be built in HQ sector, and all that without a scatter decrease. Still a one shot to many off map abilities. Well guess those are out of meta again.

Flamethrowers are not AI?!??! I never even knew that was Relic's intended purpose, will be interesting to see how that plays out. Hard to understand that when most squads with them have small sizes and require rapid kills to make up for the loss of models when attacking infantry in cover.

Nice to see a lot of bug fixes. Also two nice changes to US commander abilities.
