This is a balance patch for all of the polls on the front page.

I approve this for the sake of neutral options. Well done.

Yeah, it is in slight but still very noticable favor to the germans.

I am a mostly soviet player, and i can say, that it's alot harder (but also alot more fun) to play as the soviets than in last patch. However, i'm not feeling like i can't do anything to beat germans.

For me, I can half-ass my micro as germans and can still win. Soviets, I need to be extremely focused and be stuck to certain strats or else I'm screwed. Soviets are harder to play than germans now. It's just the way it is.

If I were to agree with some of you guys, we both be wrong.

I thought late-game (blitzing panthers) for soviets pre-patch was a pain in the ass. Post-patch when the early game for soviets also got unbalanced the choice wasnt hard - just play germans instead. The timing is great to switch faction, but it requires some patience when searching for games.....

My internet has been acting up and I've been getting disconnects so I can't play vs the best players on the ladder, but I haven't had any problems playing soviets so far. The patch allows you to (finally) punish your opponent's micro mistakes, and feels really good. I suspect people are having a hard time dealing with the increased infantry lethality.

Only time will tell... (but I am calling it now that while playing the Soviets you have to change your playstyle and we will see it in 2-3 weeks how the balance really looks.)

Maybe Germans have a sliiiight advantage now, but the proposed changes are way overkill.

Lichtbringer has a good point. I say this after every patch and no one listens but when they patched vCoH to 2.602 (a game that had the meta way more figured out) it took basically a year for the meta to settle down.

Did this ever even work?

Pre-patch I always managed to stop blobs just fine with MG42s and when I played soviets I always engaged from many different angles at the same time because not doing so just resulted in my squads getting suppressed by one or two well positioned MG42s.
