But between large crew sizes and balanced performance (i.e., the Maxim lacks the firing arc and suppression of the MG-34/42, but also is much faster to pack up), they are difficult to exploit.

You can get all of the support weapons you need in a single cheap building, and those weapons all work competently if largely unexceptionally. Both mainline infantry options are effective (although Penals are easier to use and Conscripts are stronger if you have the micro/tight timings for them), and Guards and Shocks both perform well as elite infantry. Large squad sizes make avoiding squad wipes relatively easy, which is a key part of playing competently.

OKW is more forgiving and easier to snowball with, while OST is actually the strongest snowball faction in the game (if you know how to hit timings and use light vehicles properly).Īlright, so here's my tier list for new players and 1v1s only (keeping in mind that the high level power level of these factions is extremely close):Ī fairly straightforward and difficult to exploit faction. It comes down to how easy they are to play, not actual relative strength. Could you explain why? And what exactly makes okw so dominant? What has predominated is personal preference more than anything, which suggests that all factions are very close together: why on Earth would anyone risk missing out on $10k grand prize by playing an inferior faction?Įdit: A lot of people seem to rank OKW higher than wehrmacht/Ostrupen. The world championship is happening right now, with a $20k prize pool and, so far as I have seen, there are no significant disparities between the factions in terms of win or play rates.
