Out of interest, does anyone know what the smallest amount of points on a 3v3+ map is? Or are they all standardized to a certain number?

I believe the max amount is 14 strategic points, but most maps have around 10 of them. This is true for all gamemodes.

The smallest 3v3 one being Ettel with 8 of them probably.

So what's going on here?

You've selected stats for April with UUUU setup being played 83 times in total out of 20k games across all ranks. Not to mention, its probably due to communist ideology, adding 1 SU player to UUU team, suddenly makes W\L normal. Or because 475 games were played.

As for March UUUU set up had 327 games with normal W\L. And if I understand it correctly, only 1 top 200 UUUU game was played.

On a side note, "garbage USF on life support" is consistently having highest allies win rate in 4v4, since Jan.

Again, we agreed that Path spam is a cancer strategy, however it is not the only one and FAR from being a click to victory.

Firstly CoH never even had "I win" abilities\factions. Even released UKF wast "I win" faction, despite being P2W. You can call them so, because enemy generally has to be just better then you and master very few unorthodox play-styles in order to be able to stand a chance against cheesy strats like that.
And it might have been even ok-ish, if using specific playstyle\unit composition would have at least gave you small upperhand over paths abusers, but they are just giving you a chance to stay in game.

Sure, Axis also has simular units and cancer playstyles, but at very least, they are not coming at the start of the game. You have time to tech\prepare and have at least some army composition.

If you do the math, you will realize that the USF player needs about 1000munis in order to equip the Rear with 2xzooks and 4xPaths with double BARS is in the 700s. In order to give you the stick you will need 240munis to equip 3 LMG42 to grens, 100muni to give PzGrens double shreck.

Pathfinders, if used right, already beat the shit out from both OKW\Ost inf early on, thats why you need at least 1:1 ratio inf vise, otherwise they will overwhelm you.
By the time Ost\OKW can get LV to support inf, USF player will be able to already have either 2 zooks\Dropped AT gun. By the time your inf will be getting upgrades, USF player will be able to already afford LV\Dropped 50 cal.

And again, you are bringing up late game stuff, yes USF player need shit ton of muni to upgrade all of his army with weapons, but no-one cares about it if paths strat main objective is to win you games with-in 15 min mark.

Such economic scale is not possible if the enemy is constantly moving a whole blob in the map.
Basically, just because this strategy cannot be beaten by heads on fight but rather with moving around and starving the enemy it is deemed "too efficient". Clearly not.

And this is why this strat isnt abused in 1v1, but instead in 2v2+ where you cant avoid fighting them.

I did not watch it I commented on his strategy I don't like watching stuff they burn your brain.

Point being, that theoretically kubel should work, theoretically LV should work or idk sniper? But in practice it really doesn't, good players already tried it and doesn't work of path player is half competent.

The only weakness of this strat - if enemy blob is bigger then yours and it can just outgun you. And this is why Scotts are part of this meta, because they remove this weakness. This is pretty much why a lot of people hate path meta.

Honestly I don't even like pathfinder spam as USF. I don't really see how it's better than going 1 path plus riflemen. Rifles are tougher, they have grenades and a snare, and they don't lose as soon as things close to like 20 meters.

Also I'm pretty sure they are actually the worst USF infantry against kubels. Yes, if you run a kubel into 4 squads it'll probably die pretty quick, but 4 rifles would do better here too.

Because this strat is purely about snowballing and winning the game as fast as possible. Rifles and unit combinations are good if you plan to play properly. Pathfinder\airborn meta on the other hand is just plain and simple abuse.

I've watched video op gave, and the guy on the video summed it up pretty good. Basically he said that in order to have a chance to beat this strat, you just need to blob and concentrate your units as much as possible to kick the USF out before the Scotts hit the field, if you dont do this its over.

And as I was saying, path strats wont win you 30+ mins games, but if you allowed enemy to stay in the game using path strats you've failed at it. Premades on the video pretty much mastered this soy strat and games were literally already over for axis around 15 min mark.

On top of that, Airborn provides access to both AT gun\HMG so you are completely free to pick either LT\Cpt or delay them in favour of zooks. Not to mention that by paying 60 muni for support paradrop (AT gun), you save up to 53MP if you crew it with RE, 25MP with Pathfinders, 33MP with rifles, meaning that 4th reinforced model basically comes for free, plus paradrop allowing you to save huge amount of time via skipping building time and getting unit to the front line. It gives way too much flexibility, you see that enemy blobing? You drop 50cal. Enemy goes for LVs? You drop AT gun. Enemy is slacking behind, you dont drop anything and arm yourself with zooks.
And surely as a bonus airborn has access to one of the best Elite Inf in the game and has one of the strongest AT skillplane call-in.

In other words Paths+whole airborn tool kit allows you to just be on top of the enemy pretty much until early late game, if executed right, by the time serious threats hit the field game is basically over anyway.

As for paths performance main argument brought is JLI\Fallshims\PFs. But huge difference here is not even timing and resources required, its the Pop-cap. JLI\Fallshims cant be called at 1 min mark, you cant replace volks from the get go, meaning that even if you want to spam JLI\Fallshims you either have to kill off your volks to free your pop-cap, to be able to actually build something later or somehow play with very few volks squads.

PFs with G43 are cancer, but again you either mix them volks to stay somewhat competitive or you go full house PFs and give enemy an upper hand untill you mass G43s. In 3v3\4v4 they are more problematic, because of unit concentration.
