this thread,obvious axis fanboys will be obvious. You got your batshit OP mg42 again.
However.....
THis isnt 2013. I think USF was designed to not get rekt by MG spam.
USF Is just a technologically improved 2013 soviet without oorah cons. At least thats the way I see it.
MG buffs was a little much without giving usf anything in return like a mortar
but its not THAT bad right now,its manageable.
Rifle flamers are still OP as ever for MGs in building since they dont explode instantly, just use a bait squad and then the flamer. If you're really uncomfortable fire ONE smoke nade then walk up,try to stand in some cover, and attack ground the building. Ass engy and rear echelon forward rush at 0:00(only USF and OKW can do this guys,if you come across sturms then get in the building faster. TRAIN YOURSELF TO GET YOUR FIRST SQUAD RUNNING towards a building at 0:00!!) if you want to prevent enemy from taking important building early on, so you DONT have to use smoke as 3rd purchase to clear them,
Pathfinder at 1CP to SPOT mg,and then simply go around it because you know where it is. Vision is beautiful tool. And its free-ish.
M20,this patch just tone down the aggression a little bit,be a bit more conservative,dont drive into incendiary rounds,and do not lose it. swap your crew by default because ostheer will KNOW youre gonna rush an M20.
Try going captain into stuart (ITS ACTUALLY A VIABLE BUILD!!)AFTER lieutenant and just own your opponent with M20+ Stuart+5 Rifle including officer light vehicle play. USF REALLY relies on light vehicle play creating openings combined with rifles exploiting that opening for map control.
as in NO MORE 3 RIFLE SHERMAN RUSH.
And smoke spam is still good and well worth making MGs move and be liabilities for 300 munitions a game.....just fire it before you run into the MG so no suppression. IF theres MG's overlapping then you arent flankerino hard enough
Everything I just mentioned I tried or had tried agaisnt me this patch last night against good players in 1v1 and 2v2,so no theory crafting or fanboyism here.
