Oh no okw light vehicles are op oh no why does every okw have so much infantry! Luchs needs to be a bit more squishy, denying it or baring it behind more fuel means more blobs.
So much on the debuff aura, I have had american and okw blobs hard charge ai/suppression units and tanks to decimation. Patch to patch the counters work/ don't work and its just meta frustrations.
And to all those "oh it will ruin team games" team games get vehicles way to fast anyway and not okw doesn't have resource penalty everyone has them all the time. If that 11 min kt is such a fact that it needed to be forced down 1v1 peoples throats then team games don't really rely on their infantry anyway!
They are working on a new axis faction, one that is a clone of usf with durable large squad starting infantry. Then they will nerf okw into the ground and wont get as much trouble just like how the brits are nerfed into the ground. Balancing these two gimmicky factions is impossible especially across 1s and 4s.
Yeah ost played anything but flawlessly can and will get stomped by rifle hordes. Only reason okw is buffed to the sky is to sell the new commander, Goliath would be too gimmicky to be the only reason to buy especially when the faction sucked pre patch.
Asymmetrical balance is dead and buried now, relic keep trying to solve this and fail. Now they took away okws suppressing arty they had to give it something to keep it alive but they gave it too much.
Okw is the new soviets, pretty much every problem with them has been a problem for soviets at some time or other. Getting rid of fuel penalty is great but pop cap changes just put it in overdrive. Making the mg non doctrinal and putting the luchs and jagd back where they were and swap shrecks for a snare for volks. Make the jagd suck a bit more and it can be the at gun of okw and we have our soviet mirror.
Wildly swinging patches keep happening because the factions "have to be different" but now with brits the sides are identical and trying to make units overly different just cant work anymore.
Which one of all of those "good" things shouldn't have been standard and how many of them totally counter their opposite number. Its totally going to be in the cards that the indirect fire is gonna get nerfed like axis mgs where and after a few months of no one using them again they will fix it and are we meant to act like that didn't matter?
Wildly swinging meta means that if you aren't devoting all of your time to coh2 prepare to get wrecked. This is an entertainment product and is constantly frustrating and alienating one side of any match, more often than not you aren't out played just out metad and that ain't fun or esports ready.
I think you confused the United States of America with the actual Western Hemisphere which can be called Americas or America
It comes down to common usage and America is in common usage as a shortened for USA, till googles first suggestions when searching that it will remain popularly a term for usa.
Now that the brits are here there is no more asymmetry at least on the allies side if taking all units from every army which means there will always be op axis units now and it just changes patch to patch. That way relic gets to keep their secret master race agenda and just point to a unit in an army you don't use when questioned as to why axis unit flavor of the month is op.
