Well said. This Axis late game supremacy myth is getting out of hand (talking about 1s and 2s). OKW is rekt, no map control leads to less resources along with .7 fuel income means less and late tanks. You are also pretty much forced to rush a JpZIV since USF and UKF field tanks faster (a Schreck or two is enough versus SU to deal with T70s).
Ost on the other hand, in another post someone said "it feels like reacting to my opponent, rather than planning" (credit to who ever said that, I don't remember). So you are forced to camp and greatly outmaneuver, outmicro and outplay your opponent, just like USF when it was weak a couple of month ago.
All and all, these vet bonuses for USF and UKF are stupid. Cons don't get non-doctrinal upgrades, and the doctrinal ones are also "meh" at best (For the record, upgrades should be like Con PPSH or PTRS, should be decisions not no-brainers) so people are not concerned about them. Make their upgrades worth the price. For UKF, just nerf their RA, they are not expensive, can have a 5th man and can get 2 LMGS. For usf, nerf Flamers (I think an overhaul is needed though, veteran rifles should be a 4 man squad dedicated for flamer). Then buff BAR's price (45-50).
