It's all relative.
"It's all relative" to the benchmark which was and should be the most complete faction, the Ostheer.

It is, new you get buffed and then the "old" one needs buff also. And that is was it suggested. Buffing Ostheer more although they recently received a number of buffs like:
Better ostwind
earlier Pgs
DR in grenadier
It is not the Ostheer that need buffs or even the UKF that need buffes. It the OKW/Soviet/USF that need nerf.

Then buff Ostheer and UKF, then all five factions are balanced to your benchmark faction.

At this point you are either trolling or unaware what a "benchmark" is.
If you want to measure the side of your houses you do not change the "meter" so that the side of your house become it become "1".

I predicted this would happen just 25 minutes ago. Seems like I was right.

What if soviets are the benchmark?
What you say here is exclusively your own personal opinion, not a fact, so we will be greatful if you stopped presenting your personal, subjective opinion as a fact.
There is no such thing as "benchmark", every faction and unit is considered individually in the context of its own faction and what it faces against. Its been done like this ever since modders took over balancing. THAT is a fact backed up by all the changes made so far and reasoning behind them.

You're talking in absolute measurements.
Balance is relative.

Ok you don't seem to know what a "benchmark" is.
The "Meter" or the Kgr is not an "absolute measurement" it is a arbitrary choice made and is express relatively to that choice. If the side of your house is 7 meter than it "relatively" 7 times bigger than a meter and if you weight 80 Kgrs you have "relatively" 80 times the mass of the Kgr
And yes balance is "relative" to the benchmark. If ostheer is the used as the benchmark Soviet/USF/OKW are "OP", if Soviets are used as the benchmark all other factions are "UP".

But Ostheer's power level isn't a static quantity. It's never been a static quantity.
It's much easier to buff one faction than nerf three, and there's no benefit to the nerfing route.

Buff Panther main gun penetration so it's better against the IS-2 without becomming impossible to deal with in team games. Decrease IS-2 vet bonus range to 45 instead of 50.
There we go, easy fix. Now axis has a counter to the IS-2. No need to nerf a faction into oblivion because 1 doctrinal unit is too good.
