OK so I wasnt quite done by the 'end of today" but you got alot of good advice on your replay thread from justin xv,
https://www.coh2.org/replay/55187/1v1-usfvsohkharkov

so Ill TRY to not repeat what he said. Ill just mention key things i thought you did wrong.

1. Building counterproductive sandbags

2. Threw your stuart

You shouldve used your FIRST stuart to push your enemies fuel, rather than pushing up right in front of his base. You end up losing your stuart and not accomplishing much with it even though there was a very clear opening for almost the entire early and mid game for you to take his fuel and cutoff with your mortar and stuart and force him to react as such.

3. Rebuilding a thrown stuart

Is almost never a good idea vs someone that is using a tiger/callin doctrine unless you're very confident in your ability. 2 stuarts is 140 fuel. You proooobably should tech instead of continuing to build stuarts.

4. CLOSE THE GAME

You have him down to about 230 vps about 11 mins in. You do alot of pussyfooting with your force instead of attacking his main income source(his fuel, munitions and cutoff)

As usf you should never have huge lulls where you're not attacking. Attack. Poke. Prod. Flank. Smoke. Etc. Your opponent always has a weak opening somewhere this early in the game. pock and prod until you find it.

In this case it was his west flank, as I said before you didnt really push there for some reason. Why

ignore that? push it!!

5. Double stuart hurts sometimes

Because again you didnt push where you probably should have. You left his fuel uncontested despite investing into double stuarts, so he ended up getting a panzer 4 before you had any medium armor yourself.

TLDR

If youre gonna invest into 2 light vehicles like that you must harass your opponent so badly that he doesnt get any resources for medium armor before you. You not harassing, in addition to your overinvestment and 'pussyfooting' with your light vehicles resulted in a comeback opportunity for the ostheer player.

Other than that you do play decently well and youre not 'clueless'. You lack confidence, aggressiveness at times, and expierience based foresight. Just take these tips we're all giving you and work them in, and over time you should be just fine.

USF right now is basically hacking. Literally cheating

They literally have the best everything. I don't know why it's so hard to turn the stupid mortar into a nerfed Soviet one or mirages original mortar with shit range and glass crew lolz

Whats the best way to counter early Ostheer Mechanized assault pressure as USF? When there's 2-3 assault grenadiers against me, I don't know what the heck to do. I think the answer is somewhere in going LT for an m20 perhaps, or/and mg to control space?

same way you counter sturmpioneers.

Never engage them 1v1 unless you have green cover or garrison cover.

I don't see why that would be a bad thing considering cheap recon+stuka killing arty has been compplained about for years and this would go a little to making that harder.

And my point was supposed to that the german one was rediculously cheap, not the the US one was expensive. I wouldn't have any issue if it was 50 muni as that would be in line with the other recons, but 35 muni to see your opponents entire front line seems extremely cheap.

a 15 muni cost increase to nerf late game dive bombs is peaches and cream.

And, well I really dont want to go into anymore of a debate so take this next part with a cup of salt but literally no one has tried the stuka dive bomb recon thing on me and succeeded in accomplishing much since well, cas got nerfed. And this is from someone that mains 2v2/2v2 usf.

Matter of fact its rare I even see the stuka dive bomb now, let alone for that purpose as its already really expensive(what gives you the idea 195 or more muni is cheap? You cant just spam munitions with those commanders anymore unless you drop the crates in the open) and the bomb doing damage itself relies on your opponent falling asleep or not wearing headphones. Yeah, SOMETIMES theres a sound bug and you dont know where it its coming from, but You should be beyond happy theyre using a sweep, thats a dead giveaway he's trying to divebomb you behind your lines. Otherwise just move your frontline stuff around..


My point overall is you're just being a slight bit biased towards allies, when its really not warranted this patch. So again I dont want to start a big huge wall of text debate, about the state of the game, I have no desire or time honestly. I just wanted to point out a flaw in your argument here,

Have a nice day

The Brit command vehicle must be just absolutely mind boggling OP LOL.

It LOITERS at 2 cp and comes with a op command vehicle bonus all for 75 mu!!!!!!

As if USF really needs any sort of early recon on top of all the shit they have now. It's actually ok for the recon flights to be asymmetrical too, ya know.

Really like imagine this. 2 Cp recon sweep with the best light vehicles, a mortar and riflemen smoke. What is actually going to consider stopping your army At that point...that literally counters everything axis..

USF is essentially the batshit one true faction right now. And not just because of the mortar. So can we please let OKW have their 2 cp recon pass in one shit doctrine that basically has bundle nade falls and this recon pass at least?

FYI OP, OSTHEER has the EXACT same recon pass at like 2CP too in CAS doctrines. Do you play ostheer though is the question?
