Infantry: The only useful ability in this tree in a 1v1 situation is the M1916 unlock, it does virtually identical damage as the Ostheer Grenadier's LMG42 and even costs the same. I hope somebody tries to use crew Thompson sometimes, I do like free vehicles. And we are left with railway artillery and crew with Thompson. Sherman bulldozer has no penetration, it's like a kv8 except it does half as much damage to infantry and has less armor and health, and kv8 is already useless. M10 is a Tank destroyer that has only 40 range I believe, because when I did shoot ground it only shoots as far as a sherman. 240 muni strafe, Ha!Īrmor: Assault Engineers costs the same as rifles and has no range and no AT, maybe I can get away with this in team games. Obersoldaten carries no AT and its fine because everyone and their dog in OKW can do AT, not to mention Obers are twice as good as Airborne at AI, and cost less. AB looks good on paper, but it needs pathfinder to reinforce and M1 carbines are peashooters, the worst part is that they carry no AT. Pathfinder is more of a utility unit, in 1v1 I cant afford utilities. AT gun costs the same and also comes with 0 men.

I do think it'd be smart if they let people buy the commanders just 'cause they could make some money that way and I don't really care if people can pay to get them.Īirborne: M2HB costs 20 mp less than non-doc MG and comes with 0 men.

AT guns from airborne let you skip captain. So are assault engineers and the bulldozer sherman. Jump back to quoted post, 05:11 AM DanielD Have you tried the M1919? It's incredibly strong. What's the point of refusing money and pile on the server loads anyways? If we liked grinding we would be playing MMOs. I know DLC whiners are legion and the opposite side rarely speak out. How is everybody else doing on that front?Īnd if anybody from relic can see this: please let us purchase the new commanders. But it looks like the drop rate is really abysmal, at least for me anyways. I have played 15-20 games trying to farm one or both of these commanders, I'm level 12 and only got 3 bulletins, one of which I already own from before.Īpparently we won't be able to purchase them, only via drops. On the other hand the rifle commander and light vehicle commander look very promising. The default US commanders are probably some of the worst ones in the game, the units/upgrades/abilities they give are simply terrible and does very little to improve the non-doctrinal composition.
