What should Relic do to increase allies-players?

Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2014, 16:07 PMICoH

Just play pretty much any ww2 game and witness it yourself.

Whenever someone has to choose between a wehrmacht or allies team the axis team has many more players.

Red Orchestra 1 and 2, Heroes and Generals, Company of Heroes 1 and 2.

IF the player ratio had anything to do with the gameplay or balance we would see it shift whenever allies become OP or UP in CoH2. Thats not the case, it has been overall steady.

I DISAGREE WITH YOU KREATIIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Factions are all perfect, I believe my 3 KT's are perfectly acceptable on the battlefield.

If your pumping out 3 KTs in a game sir you are operating at a level beyond pro! if so keep it up!

The possibility to use other doctrines then the ones with IS-2/ISU/T-34/85 and guards/shocks?

I would really like to see the stats that back up this assumption. Some data from relic that shows what the average queue length is for all factions.

Currently all these complaints are based on seeing some % number on the screen during your automatch search. The problem with this number is that it does not take into account how many allied/axis players are currently in game. It also does not show any historical data at all. I just don't see how we can be complaining about a "problem" that potentially does not exist.

12 of the soviets 19 doctrines have atleast one of the units you just meantioned. of the last 7, you have industry, urban defense, counter attack, partisans, and irregulars. thats not enough options for you?

And, not or. There are 5 commanders for soviets with a call-in tank and guards or shocks. 7 if you count Terror/Anti-inf but to be honest a kv8 call-in alone is not something you can skip teching costs with so it doesn't really count.

the only doctrines that really have nothing going for them are nkvd and conscript support

still more options than ost have: tiger or death.

I would like to support his argument in that usually, you'd need BOTH a Doctrine Infantry AND Doctrine Tank for a doctrine to be viable (well performing). This further limits commander choices as considering how horrible stock units are compared to the Doc units. Forgoing even one option, will leave a hole in the performance of that specific role whether its heavy tank or T85 series.

Comparing this to Axis, they aren't as even remotely reliant on commanders in regards to Soviets.

You have Tiger in 4 doctrines+Tiger Ace, not really much of a difference there if you ask me.

And to be honest PIVs and stugs are amazing compared to soviet tech vehicles, just because you want to pick the "easy" way with Tiger doesn't mean teching as Ost isn't more viable than as soviets.
