Hi guys. I know I've mentioned this before, but how are people finding the USF / Sov match-up? Is anyone playing these semi-mirrors or wants to (friend me, I'm AirfixPanzer on steam)?

For me at least it's a pretty fun match-up and the early game is great. Even Russian call-ins don't have that 'oh fuck' effect OKW ones do.

I'd love to see a counterfactual mod with an imaginary WW3 set in the immediate aftermath of WW2, not least with Pershings and IS2s as well as German volunteers as an 'Allied' faction.

Modders, please!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the IS2 a heavy tank? And the OKW King Tiger? Whether or not they need to be changed I think every heavy tank should be on the list for a proper poll.

The elefant is actually completely useless right now. I'm surprised people are saying it is in a 'good spot'. Is a heavy tank only in a good spot when it's so expensive and bad that no one uses it? IMO it was never OP to begin with and I disagreed with the nerfs as soon as they came through. It operated just like a SU85 except more expensive, slower but had better stats. It is very vunerable to arty and good flanking and is useless against infantry. A well microed T34 could take it out. I played a game (back in the day when people thought they were 'OP') and buttoned it with guards, did an arty and finished it off with a T70.

I actually don't have much of a problem with the heavy tanks themselves. What I have a problem with is the call-in meta that makes the timing for the heavy tanks so good.

Wrong thread.

Not trying to be rude.
