Introduction

This guide is for the a complete list of nation units in MoW:AS2 and our ranking of them based on a color coded system, these tiers give you a general idea of what, and what not to buy in the game and have been thoroughly discussed by veterans of our community. They are fairly definitive in accuracy and also take into account the numerous situations that arise during combat.

Newer players should follow these tiers more strictly, as an experienced player can make usefulness out of any unit, even grey tier. Explanations for individual unit rankings will be given when deemed necessary, some of these should be fairly self explanatory.

These rankings are based on the Assault Zones gamemode and don't necessarily apply to other modes. This guide is brought to you by Jagd[discord.gg]


Color Coding/Tiers
Ranking is dependent upon several factors, all combined under the blanket term of "usefulness" which includes, but is not limited too:

• MP cost to kill potential
• The stage of the game where said unit is available
• Average lifetime (When used correctly)

Green: Useful in almost any situation / High kill to cost ratio.


Yellow: Often useful.


Red: Rarely useful.


Grey: Almost never useful / Low kill to cost ratio.



Note
Some units that are shared by factions have shared rankings as well, we've also grey tier'd some units that may seem "good" but aren't in light of superior alternatives for less MP or SP.

These units are mostly limited to light and stationary howitzers, some emplacements, many SP infantry and all engineer units.

Note that these tiers are not linearly better or worse than each other, yellow is by far the most all-encompassing tier, with green and black being the least common.


Soviet Union


Infantry




Utility


Artillery


Support Units


Tanks


Tank Destroyers


Special Point Units


Notes
Soviet Tank Destroyers: Tiered low because they are all weak and overpriced, despite being fairly well armed (SU-100 is 300 more MP than the Nashorn yet it is inferior)

IS1: Basically the same thing as the KV-85 but 150 extra MP or the price of a nice squad.

Germany


Infantry




Utility


Artillery


Support Units


Tanks


Tank Destroyers


Special Point Units


Notes
Panzergrenadiers: The STG44's don't make up for the lack of MG's compared to other Elite squads and the Panzerfaust is inferior AT to Bazooka's and a Piats.

Jagd: AS2 Community


What is Jagd? We're an international community for English speaking Men of War players who wish to link with other regional players to ensure a quality game.

Since the games' release, the AS2 community has slowly eroded into small pockets of playerbases, our goal is to unify the community once again and to improve enjoyment of the game by promoting communication and sportsmanship between community members.

We here at Jagd understand the largest playerbase in the game is newcomers, and that these players are often turned away by the unforgiving multiplayer scene. Our community is dedicated the education of a new generation of MoW players and introducing them to the game without the hardship.

There is a mistake with the Japan nation units section of your guide, where you have displayed the Artillery selection menu twice by also erroneously using it for the Utility menu.

Your guide does not have a tier list for Japan's Utility units because of this.

Вот из-за таких долбоёбов западное коммьюнити и мертво. Наговорят брать всякой хуйни (ИГНОРИРУЯ ЭЛИТНУЮ ПЕХОТУ), а потом Джоны удивляются, а хули те, кто в первые минуты переживают их атаки дерьма - потом их ебут

Why would u take German Elite support infantry over Elite markman?

Really missing explanations on why some things are good or bad. Why is the Panzer IV G a bad purchase with regular Germany but a good purchase with Ostfront? I don't know! It's the same tank!

yes duke i understand what the guide is for. My comment is also directed toward beginners. Your guide is fine

in order to better help new players, add below each unit section picture a list of the units in that section, with why it got the rating it did (its value for price, timing, power, how it stacks up vs other faction equivalents, pros and cons) all summed up nice and concise plz

a little text to read and understand would be better than "that one's bad colour, that one's good colour"

In response to Slim Sic, this guide really doesn't work for anyone but beginners. When we made it we knew this and never intended it to be used by anyone who knows how to really play the game competitively. That said I'm happy so many people have seen it and I hope everyone knew who sees it finds it helpful
