Why does everyone say Ost T4 is bad? The Pwerfer was awesome these last few patches. Maybe if all the embittered diehard ost fans had pulled heir collective heads out of the sand and realized it had the same damage profile as the 'mad OP' katty with a much tighter, faster barrage, they could have had the fun I was having with that little beauty.

Especially hidden in a forwards spot to counter-battaery kattys and watch them get gibbed by my now shiny vet 2/3 werfer.

Panther still needs to be the same as the Ost one, but meh. Werfer was- and maybe still is- worth T4 in long 2v2 games.

Tiger >>>>> Panther, especially at 230 FU vs 175 FU + tech costs. 175 FU + tech is a lot to pay for a specialist, which is pretty mediocre at what it does.

Things that Panther does better: range, speed, turret rotation
Things that Tiger does better: RoF, HP, armor, anti infantry

I believe that they have the same accuracy (0.025 far, 0.05 near), but the Tiger also has the advantage in DPS because of its superior RoF.

Also remember that the advantages the Panther has over the Tiger can be made up with vet (range at vet 2, speed and turret rotation at vet 3). The Tiger is simply superior.

There used to be quite a few people who went T4 Soviets and the Katy buff is designed to make doing so more attractive.

There was before the SU-85 got repeated nerfs and then german tanks got their turpo warp drives back.

Soviet and Ost T4 are both dead in 1v1. And both live on strong in 2v2.

Seems fine to me.

.......The Tiger is simply superior.


Tiger being amazeballs did not make Ost T4 bad. Just less appealing compared to the current uber, techless status of call in tanks.

Much like how the M4C and T-34-85 are often used as straight up replacements for soviet T3. This does not make soviet T3 bad.

Overall the Kat is still in a better position than prior to July 22 patch - more than double the area of effect of each rocket, and a much better distant damage modifier. And frankly the cooldown increase is quite welcome for all the rocket artillery.

I admit now that Kat has the same reload time as the Stuka - the Stuka should maybe be looked at.

Please continue to show respect for the other's opinion, even if you disagree with it.

There is nothing wrong with a player who prefers 3v3 or 4v4 - but balance is tilted on 1v1 and 2v2

The stuka is not going to be looked at, because it's doing what relic intends for it to do. I don't think the AOE far damage being doubled from 4 to 8 is a big deal. To me this is like someone doubling my penny. 2 pennys are still pretty worthless to me. Soldiers have 80 health, 8 damage is what 10%? LOL, a little too lenient but I'll shoot for direct hits.

Why's that, exactly?

How many T4 soviets do you see in 1v1? Aside from the current Katty bandwagon.
Nobody said that Soviet T4 was as it should be. I think the Su-76 needs to get some StuG like anti infantry capabilities as the Tier lacks that. The new Katjuscha I can´t comment on yet. Su-85 seemed pretty decent last patch though I didn´t see them often. T-34/85 were obviously the better choice.

But do two wrongs make something right? If Soviet T4 is lacking so should the Ost T4? I would prefer more options and thus the Tier needs to be buffed for both. It´s not just about call ins being more affordable, it´s the specific units not fulfilling their role.

It's not the Tiger being "amazeballs" that makes T4 suck, it's that Ostheer doesn't really have a choice but to build Tigers as a result of T4 being bad. It's a chicken and the egg problem, see?

Panthers, both SU's, and Brummbarrs are all a little lackluster as units, but only compared to the current heavy tanks. They still serve a purpose. And neither T4 can be said to be outright lacking.

Bringing the panther for Ost in line with the OKW one, making the SU-76 even half as useful as the Scott, finding a way to ungimp the -85, giving the Brummbarr any reason to exist. These things will all polish off their respective tiers.

None of these things will make T4 attractive in most 1v1 games. Nothing short of making T4 too good will make T4 attractive in most 1v1 games.

T4 for both armies is geared with all the units that can only really shine in 2v2 and up most of the time. Su's need more densely packed maps to avoid being horribly out-maneuvered, rocket arty needs dense targets, Brummbarrs/Su-76's need a point. Oddly enough the unit to come out best in the T4 line up for 1v1 play is the Panther, but even it is arguably less useful in a 1v1 scenario than a pair of PzIV arriving earlier.

T4 is just a larger game thing for the Soviets and Ost.

As a Soviet player I have more difficulty dealing with a well microed Panther than a well microed Tiger.

You are right.

Patch before this one did that. Upped their MP cost but lowered the reinforce price- the two were out of whack before.

Relic logic: Community complains about call ins being too cost effective and Ostheer T4 being unattractive. Solution:

Nerf Panzerwerfer.

I had no idea there was a problem with the .50 cal MG. Even if it was unintended it didn't seem to be affecting the balance.
