This is ISU-Elefant meta, combined with Packhowie/leig spamms and mortar pits, got a bit dull.

Please refresh the balance team with someone new and pay them from the Master League funds (?). Bring a bit of freshness to the game otherwise we will end up with another patch in which i.e Shermans start behaving like KV2s and Obers get M16s...
-Partisans, M20 and Panther lives matter.

Make a team of people like Duffmann, Pink guy, Tightrope and Ashabroz etc and pay them.

Stop giving the balance department to people who think they know what they are doing and give it to people who actually know and play! the game.

In fact I do not but I do not see it as a threat playing against it.

isu/elefant meta has been since the launch of the game. Simply becasuse they provide exceptional anti inf/armor capabliites which pale in comparison to other nondoc or even doc units. My suggestion is to simply dumb down or outright remove ele isu and jt from the game. Once that happens the game open up. You no longer have to worry about a monster that can 1 hit kill all vet3 units or 2 shot tanks from long range with self spot. Then the game will be left to is2 tiger jakson panther and mediums.. much more fun imo.

That speaks more about your opponents then the unit.

Great ideas, next patch we will implement M16s for Obers and buff the Sherman to be a KV-2.


Also sorry to burst your bubble but Tightrope already is on the balance team.

Part of the problem is not just ISU-2/Elephant/JT but the commander themselves.

These unit should not come with powerful abilities like Stuka/Il-2/Assault Artillery/Mark target.

Commander should be around equal power in abilities and if these super heavies units are available the rest of the abilities should weaker.

What you've said is completely irrelevant, because both of these are pretty much once in a blue moon appearances in 1v1 and in team games you are unable to nor should you stop synergy between various commanders.

Synergy of Powerful commander makes them even more powerful.

Commander should be designed to be of the same power level and not be powerful in different areas.

For instance the fact the fact that Elephant can counter armor and enemy howitzers with reckon and off map is simply a combination that should not be available.

It means you can always cover weak parts of your doctrine with other players doctrine.
In context of above, assuming scouting planes magically disappeard from ele and isu doctrines, nothing will change as team mate will simply provide his recon instead and the doctrines in question do not exist in 1v1 already.

So, whats next? -> The answer is pretty easy: Iron Harvest in semptember.

CoH2 really was my favorite game in the past few years and Imo the community dev team did a very good job since they took over. But there are some major flaws they can't change like ressource inflation in bigger game modes or awful vehicle pathfinding. Iron Harvest looks a lot like a CoH3 in an alternative timeline and will do better regarding the major flaws hopefully. I'm triggered.

You do not understand what he means because he does not mean anything he simply, likes to disagree with everything I post.

ISU doctrines do not have reckon planes (one of the commanders does have the "mark vehicle" that comes with a plane but that is not a reckon plane, and reckon is not the issue with Elephant doctrine but the Stuka bombing (as I clearly explain the problem is abilities like the Stuka/Il-2/Assault Artillery/Mark vehicle)

Iron harvest is going to be more like a side chick then long term relationship.

Maybe this side chick will embrace me for a time period just long enough until CoH3 shows up out of FoW for a reunion miraculously. Just some dissipation. There will be a happy ending for sure.

Its always a good laugh when people claim that balance would be better if we kicked tightrope and added tightrope.

Im just also confused at why asha, pink guy, and duffman supposedly "know" the game but current members dont. Im especially skeptical that asha has been able to demonstrate said knowledge considering he hardly ever speaks in english to begin with. Thats to say nothing about the language barrier itself.

He needs to be turned off and on again, this fixes most things!
