Suggest your own "balance" changes that...

1. Keep to "Unique Faction Design"
2. Don't intentionally screw over balance any worse than it currently is.

E.g.
Conscripts now can use Oorah for free if they are in a blob of 3 or more. :)

Conscripts gain +1000000000 HP >:(


Let's see if the community can reach any sort of consensus at all on how to balance the game.

How about we make this interesting? There is a big debate on another thread about whether balance should be dictated from the middle or from the top. How about we make 2 threads. 1 in which anyone can talk, and the other in which top 50 players (or some other arbitrary selector) can discuss.

Weapon racks' weapons have a varying performance and cost based off the unit that pick it up from the rack. The performance factor also affects units which pick them up after being dropped.

Conscripts cost less to reinforce from having T3/4 tech and HQ upgrades.

Vehicle veterancy requirements reduced across the board for OKW.

I try to provide many useful suggestions but I have to admit that I play Axis mostly and have not much time to write.
I try to suggest buffs and nerfs for each faction.
In short:

Ostheer:

Buffs:
- Maybe buffs grens a bit in green cover or give them the possibility to build sandbags.
- Tone the reinforcement costs of PzGrens a bit down.
- Give SdKfz 222 the ability to plant Riegels when unlocked by commander.
- Buff Panzerwerfer to somehow compete with Katy.
- Tone down Flame HT damage but make it available on T2 again.

Nerfs:
- Make defensive smoke not pop immediately but shooting like the M4 smoke.
- Lower MG42 damage to almost 0. It's meant to suppress not to kill.
- Sniper health down to 80. It's ridiculous that it survives a mortar hit on his head.
- Nerf Tiger Ace
- Nerf Stug E
- Enable Blitzkrieg only when out of combat.

OKW:

Buffs:
- Give Volksgrens a bit more fighting power while in green covered long range.
- Buff leIG a little Bit against buildings.
- Rethink that whole fuel penalty

Nerfs:
- Make Stuka zu Fuß Scatter just like every other artillery
- Flak HT smoke on Vet1
- Remove suppression from Kübelwagen and fuel cost. Make it like vCoH motorbike and use it to hunt weapon teams and snipers.
- Adjust the Flak HQ range to the indicator.

USF

Buffs:
- Give the USF a mortar to make them able to deal with MG42s.
- Make Bazookas a bit stronger
- Give them mines
- Make the Pak Howitzer useful and survilable with 2 men left.
- Even more encourage the usage of smoke nades.

Nerfs:
- Reduce the range of P47 or reduce their runs.
- Make Axis tanks keep firing at a tank after the vehicle crew has left the tank.
- Reduce M20 cost but nerf it's armour to a state of 222.
- Nerf Elite Infantry that Vet1 is the absolute maximum after the call in.
- Nerf M8 Scott's AOE. I have lost countless full health troops because of this unit.

Soviets

Buffs:
- Make penals useful somehow, for example as long ranged units
- Buff Su85 a little bit
- Make all those useless commanders viable

Nerfs
- Make Demos only useable when engineers are in a specific radius
- Nerf Mark Target in Combination with Guard Motor
- Reduce the damage of tanks agains German PaKs
- Remove extra armour from shocks
- Reduce IS2 armour a bit


I am sure I forgot about 80% of my points but I am too tired to think right now.

Soviets:
Reduce armour on m3a1 to match Kubel
Reduce speed on M3a1
(This'll massively improve the early game enjoyability vs sovs)

Demo on automatic timer

Mines changed in whatever way needed to reduce wipes.


PTRS inf damage nerfed.

USF

Swap smoke and AT nades

That's actually a pretty neat idea, but I don't know if it'd quite work since vet 1 does take at least a minute or two of combat to obtain when the HMG42s can get built the moment Ost T1 goes down. But I'd certainly welcome USF not having to get grenades the moment an HMG42 is becoming difficult.

I am finding Forward Retreat Points to be a real PITA with buffed Axis MGs.
Relic give more map vetos! Most maps right now for Allies in 2v2 are either so tight MGs can cover all avenues of approach or so big OKW Forward Retreat Point truck allows them to re-field much faster than you.

Along with a scout car autocannon price Nerf it would lead to healthier light vehicle play too. USF players would have to decide between snares or quick vehicles. This would buff Flaktrack

Allow OKW to pay manpower to make their buildings hardier.

EDIT: And pay fuel to give their tanks and vehicles veterancy/upgrades. So you can just buy skirts instead of waiting for Vet 2.

1. Standardize teching HQ->T1-T2 T3->T4

2. Standardize weapon systems available to factions (no more OKW no medium or USF no Heavy Tanks ETC)

3. Make sure call in Units are Tied to teching

4. Make doctrines unless less well rounded unless its a combined arms doctrine.

5. Stop using ridiculous gimmicks like OKW fuel penalty and just make them pay more for their vehicles.

Just nerf the Rifle grenade. Most of the games problems would be solved.

I found double sniper effective vs lmg spam. And you can often afford double sniper in addition to 4-5 cons.
