The only automatch 4v4 that really has issues with FHQ is La Gleize. Both cutoffs have stone structures adjacent to the capture circle.

On every other map it can be avoided. Simply skirt around the HQ. On Lienne Forest, just ignore it. It is possible to hold the fuel while the enemy has a FHQ in the closest building (on both sides).
Steppes doesn't matter.
City 17 can be a bitch, but you just shift mid and take that VP, hoping that your buddies on the open side secured that portion of the map. If you are starting in the north there is no reason why the enemy should put a FHQ on the big building overlooking the fuel point.
Lanzerath is difficult, but the houses near the fuel points can quickly be brought down with concentrated fire. Often times it takes 3 or all four allied players to shut down fuel. That allows your teammates on the other side of the map to cap the right side, even harassing the enemy fuel if they are highly concentrated.

Your point about the Katyusha and Panzerwerfer isn't necessarily true. With the current tech system, Soviets can obtain rocket artillery much faster than Ostheer. If Pwerfer was T3 like it was in closed beta two and a half years ago (like the voice actors suggest) Soviet v Ostheer games would be significantly more evenly-matched.

Walking stuka is certainly helpful against FHQ. The trick is to push back enemy MGs so your MGs can move up to suppress and pin infantry around the FHQ. Drop incendiary and/or flank enemy mortars, forcing them to move.


FHQ isn't that difficult to beat in 4s. It just takes some lucky indirect fire rng, time, and pressure to force your enemies into one space so your teammates can cap around it.

No need for replay, all axis vehicle can use blitzkrieg with damaged engine now because of amazing programming skills of chimps relic employs for coding.

Don't think I've ever seen the snipers described as a "machine gun" at close range (especially the Sov one).

Thanks for the laugh.


I'd actually like it, if the spotter in the the sov sniper unit, acted like a, you know, spotter to some degree. But my personal preference would be to remove the extra man altogether.

Currently, there is no real use for the extra man in a sov sniper team, unless you're in a sniper duel which makes having the extra man too much of an advantage, or you fuck up your micro with it in the first 7 mins of a game, and get caught by a Kubel, low vet volks or unupgraded grens (which I think is sucky, as the high risk/high reward unit should be lost if found in such a predicament, much like the Ost sniper should be lost in the same situation, but rarely is).

I'd like to see both units be rebalanced.

Last resort, sure, but valid alternative to retreating with certain squads? Definitely not.
You can't even use your core mechanic without shooting yourself in the foot on the long run.

I'm slowly getting fed up of seeing underused but reliable abilities getting nerfed for no reason other then relic having a bunch of chimps as coders.

Balance devs might have some clue, but coders should man the paddles at galley which they would first have to code themselves the way it doesn't sink, taking them to the bottom of the ocean.
