MG's havent been touched and the mortar was extremely overperforming, Grens were overperforming due to a bug earlier and are fine.

Flamers are very, very strong indeed.

Tiger has been buffed and the rotation hasnt been touched.

All EZ8 got is more hp.

Thompsons and B.A.R.s are still meh this patch, sadly. I have tried both and both are ineffective in dealing with late game axis inf. The only nice change was with the pak howi, rifle scaling, conscript scaling, and removal of deep snow and blizzards.

Patch rating: 6.2/10 RELIC PLS

WHERE IS THE USF LOVE WE DESERVE.

In the preview the MG42 had its damaged de-tuned. I'm not confident that hasn't accidentally been introduced into the live patch. However, with the change to flame weapons and grenades the MG42 is in a pretty bad spot and is easy to counter vs a USF player.

Guess RNG wasn't on my side with the Paks vs the Ez8's.

Well because AoE suppression works based on received accuracy. Later into the game you won't do as much AoE suppression with you HMG's when shooting at very hard to hit squads such as the new riflemen and conscripts, so I can see why there is a "perceived" nerf to the HMG42.

Take cover.


Britsh still suck , after last dirt effort tanks they suck even more , because all their chnces were survive to that point and then call in churchill and make last attack and hope gods. Because just horrible design.


USA good in late game (with rifle company)
Russians versatile and dont suck balls late game (cons)
OKW can dislodge buildings.
And ostheer is still playable in good hands

But normal suppression and scaling base on number of models still applies.

This patch is weird...

First of all, we are finding new bugs (e.g. Spy Network being available at 0CP.). Other bugs will be found I assure you. Also, do we have any idea about ninja changes yet? There are too many threads I haven't seen it.

We also have the Partisan Phenomenon, and people are actually defending it, what the hell guys? Highest DPS unit in game while also being one of the cheapest. How the hell did this happen?



And on top of them all, I suck with all 4 factions and currently on an epic lose streak

I agree that partisans are very strong (maybe a veeery slight nerf could be ok) but u have to think about the heavy drawbacks of the comander

-Need houses map
-No late game, no heavy tank
-Early game allin
-Ammo dependant

If relic decides to nerf them it will be over for them.

There is a major bug which allows you to select british forces for 1v1 mode.

Partisans

"Why in the world are you crying over emplacements? " because emplacements are in the game for a reason .. to be USED! now why the fuck would you waste 400 mp as brits (mp starved faction) for a static mortar empalcement (since they don't have other indirect fire) when a 360 mp leig can take it out in 30 seconds and you can't do shit about it (u probably lose your engineers aswell trying to repair it)... mortar ht with flame also destroys emplacements in seconds ..

Man, before patch emplacements were like interdiction zones for every early to middle game axis unit. Now the only difference is that they were balanced. So they don't feel OP anymore, they feel BALANCED. And if you want to say anything, I will just tell you to look at OKW emplacements and tell me that they are ok so I can say that you are more than biased.
