Ehm its not about because i have no arguments or something. If you look around in coh2.org Balance threads, i really rarely write or answer stuff in the balance forum.
So don't expect from me to get an answer in balance forum normally!
Thx for reacting to my post.
You took the time to wrote so much but still don't answered a single question... :-/
I'll write an answer here and repeat my questions, since i know you will read it at least.
First my questions again:
1. Why not giving Allies some doctrinal tanks in special late game commanders that can directly compete with Panther snowball but sacrifice earlygame and midgame power? I named a few doctrinal tanks that would come in consideration.
2.Why are existing tanks like Pershing integrated in such an unrealistic way? Pershing should have always the edge in a 1v1 situation versus a Panther.
3. Later I added the question about walking stuka hitting the field way before any other rocket artillery while having such a huge wiping potential. Why it is still untouched? Other wiping mechanics like mines / demo-charges were nerfed a long time ago although a simple minesweper would protect you.
And if you read back my first statement was:
random vs random : axis winning more
premade vs premade: allies winning more
I wonder where you have your data from. Your personal experience as a TopPlayer? In my personal experience it is not like that if you go down the ladder and you don't have to go very far.
Allies have the right tools to knock out allies heavy very easy. But you need coordination for that.
In past soviet could do it alone. Soviet still can do it with ram and il2 bombstrike, but then you have no isu anymore.
Gets harder now since you changed the effect of ram. In addition the IL2 rocket strafe (not the bombstrike you talked about) gets nerfed so hard, that i just can't stand it. From 380 to 80? I have no words for such a drastic change, without even touching its cost at all. It is more expensive than JU strafe while JU strafe does similar damage and penetrates heavy tanks frontally. Seems somebody wants to nerf it out of the game.
2 su85 on redball with mark target are really good vs any wehrmacht tanks!
Don't forget what you can get and build compared for 1 Ele or JT.
Don't get me wrong, you can't instant kill an Ele or JT sometimes. But with some times or a help it works good. And then wehrmacht has lost big fuel and also CD on it.
I was always talking about Panther snowball beeing to strong at some point of the game. Until you get there you just have to trade better. Don't know why you are talking about Ele or JT, I do not mentioned them a single time.
And yes since the owner said the stats are for even when 1 single guy is top 200 and all other are 5k... It makes not too much sense for me. So i would prefer to have only top 200 stats when all people have it.
I know for 3vs3, 4vs4 you will not get many data then. But atleast they would be better.
And beside that, as aerafield and other people said, even if one guy has top 200, often they are just game spammer and have terrible win ration. So the top 200 does not say much.
Since both sides should have players in their teams that are not Top200 or spammers and this should somehow even out over time the stats are highly accurate. There are enough games for a significant statement. If you watch the stats ove several weeks it is always more than 10% in favor of axis. I can't understand how someone can ignore that fact.
Not sure what you want with your kv1, they are beast atm. Do you watch or play 1vs1 2vs2?
Comets were op as fuck the last few months.
I play enough games at 2vs2 to have an opinion, I don't see any big problem there. You can always deal with a single Panther, that is out of question. You are trying explain so much to me but sadly none of it hits the mark.
Again we are in 4vs4 and somehow 3vs3... If you are going for multiple KV-1s you will be raped hard by Panthers. So I assume you build only one for fighting of Infantry and a possible PZIV. So the first Panther will vet itself at your KV-1 since it has superior range and penetration. Once he has 2-3 Panthers he will push you, ignoring your KV-1 and shooting directly at your SU-85. Su-85 are pretty hard to micro when pushed/flanked because of slow turning speed and fixed turret, you want to backdraw them while still rotating it to get Panther in shooting cone. That really sucks. You can do this with one Su-85 in 1vs1 and 2vs2, with two or three I fail on a regular basis. It is a lot harder than moving that attacking Panthers around the flank.
Btw just an example what can happen even to Ele + KT.

I think i don't have to search for ram+ il2 bombstrike videos or mark target Ele and then use p47 on it.
I was never talking about Ele/JT/KT... but do you think that video is a good example? First he drove into a PAK wall and lost his JPIV plus getting his KT damaged, than there was no support (Raketen, Shreks, Snares). Of course things like that happen. But overall even at that game the axis team traded better, because they won.
And i just say it now again, i will try to not response here anymore. I think everything is said from both side. So don't expect pls an answer here in the next few hours / days. If new stuff comes around, i maybe will post again. But i will follow this thread and read it.
Also the BT is looking into this thread.
Just do this. there is still no logical explanation why the stats are not legit in any way. There is no approach to dealing with Panther snowball either.
