What!?!
What happened to Blitzkrieg feeling too magical!?! 50% bonus speed is huge! That's practically what it was before! It's fine for OKW's Combat Blitz because that lasts two seconds! What is going on?
Maybe... maybe it's just a mis-print...
The rest is good/whatever.
Actually, Opel Change is long overdue. That is good news.

+1. Fast & furious Panzers with nitro boost breaks all the immersion for me.

Good fix there too, it was silly how it just looked like the .50 gunner just tossed it on the ground, like "screw this heavy bastard".

Nice :relic on the M3A1 scout car. When it doubt; over nerf it and increase the price.
It is interesting to see the M3A1 go up from 5 fuel to 15 fuel over the course of it's radical re-balancing from the March 25th patch.
I think that's exaggerating though. It's a acceleration decrease of 15%. Hard to say how big of a deal that is but I can't imagine it will be that bad.

as for the opel i think long term it should scale based on player count.
heck all resources should.
I've always said this, anything over 2v2 just gets really messy. Particularly because large maps also have more resource points.

To be fair, Blitzkrieg in its previous state was useless. It may be an overbuff, we shall see, but a buff of some sort was needed.
Useless? It gave a great bonus to acceleration: 60% bonus. There are situations where if your Tiger/Panzer 4 doesn't go from 0 to 100% speed in a few seconds it will die.
I will agree that it was overpriced for 30 munitions. I actually wanted to see a 10% or 15% bonus to speed. A noticeable bump that one could spell the difference between a flank and a fail. A little boost for a humble 30 munitions.
Time will tell indeed.

Exactly my thoughts.
Apparently magical jet engines did existed at the time.
Also, KV-1 is actually appealing now.

Don't know if Relic staff are reading this but if so, good work on the WFA expansion and the balance thus far....i'm genuinely impressed.
