Flag of the United States during WWII
The United States is one of the playable factions in Men of War. They served in WWII from 1941-1945, fighting along side with the Commonwealth and the Soviet Union against Germany, Italy, and Japan.
History[]
The United States joined the war in December of 1941 after the attack on the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii by the Japanese.
Gameplay (MP)[]
The United States is a well-rounded, support-focused nation with a wide range of indirect fire and infantry-based weapons excellent for countering most enemy threats. The United States excels mid-game before heavy enemy vehicles are on the field as their diverse cast of units give them an answer to practically any threat.
Despite being quite capable of playing independently, the United States feels most at home as a support player, focusing on their strengths in artillery and emplacements while using their wide array of capable armor and infantry to assist in an assault or plug gaps in their team's defenses.
Pros[]
+ Great infantry
+ Excellent cast of support weapons (artillery, support tanks)
+ Extremely versatile faction; capable of reasonably resisting most strategies.
Cons[]
- Struggles against heavy armor; tank guns are fairly lackluster in penetration
