but now Opel gives resources only to a player who owns Opel, so it's fair trade for price reduction

Wait.

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.

Too bad the Opel can't just give 1/2 to everyone else instead of none at all.

Nice :relic on the M3A1 scout car. When it doubt; over nerf it and increase the price.

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

"Animation fixes for the US Forces .50 cal machine gun"

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".

as for the opel i think long term it should scale based on player count.

heck all resources should.

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.

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.

I've always said this, anything over 2v2 just gets really messy. Particularly because large maps also have more resource points.

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.

I cannot face palm hard enough at Blitz making a return. Durp durp get out of jail free.

Maybe Blitz should reduce armour or increase damage taken. I know it sounds silly but it would definitely stop the 'defensive blitz' problem, or at least make it much riskier.

It's not silly at all. In an MMO I used to play they had something called Microwarpdrives on the ships. When active the ship took more damage.

Gotta test it out first, but m3 seems overnerfed. I'd really like it if only one or two values were changed at a time. Instead, movement, penetration, and cost all get changed at once. There's nothing wrong with units being strong. Whenever a unit over-performs, instead of making its cost commiserate with it's performance, it just gets nerfed into the dirt instead (see penals).

I like this patch. It addressed some of the most serious balance flaws that's currently in the game, while not under nerfing or over nerfing various units which could lead to those units not being used at all. When this patch arrives, I dare say the balance will be the best that it's ever been.

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.
