Volks pop cap 5, IS (5men) 10!!! Is that right?!

It just doesn't seem right in the game play when volks are only 5 pop cap and too easy to equip them with panzershrecks. That just simply encourages volks shreck blobs which almost everyone playing against OKW complain about.

On the other hand, Infantry sections with 4 men have 8 pop cap and with 5 men have 10 pop cap.

That means for 3 Infantry sections with bolster which have 30 popcap, OKW player can have 6 (5X6=30) volks!!! that's just not right and simply shows how blobing shrecks gets encouraged there

It's also good to note here that Obers and Falls have pop cap of 8 and panzerfussiliers also have pop cap of 6!!! that's broken in my opinion and why OKW can build up such cost effective cheap blobs and still have Tanks, AT guns, ISGs etc while other armies suffer from pop can (just check the pop cap of UKF emplacements)

The problem shows itself even more, when u see how much mp u float as OKW (specially in team games 2v2upwards)

By the way, is the IS pop cap, Ninja change by relic in this patch?

And before I forget, 5 men Royal Engineers are also 10 pop cap which is unquestionably not right.

4 man Sturm Pios are 9 popcap... OH NO!

pretty sure the volks cost 6 pop and the 5 men tommies cost 8 pop

OKW is a small but elite army. Idk why you want to decrease popcap...imagine if you could have 5 shrek volks, a Luchs, 2 Obers, a Leig, and still support 2 tanks. Now that would be OP olololol

Infantry sections should be more like 6 popcap and 7.5 with the extra man. Volks popcap is fine.

Shocks - 12, Sherman - 12 Guards - 8 Obers - 8 Royal Engis...... -10

By game logic; grenadiers are as good as obers because they are both at the same popcap now.

Shocks - 12, Sherman - 12

That made me palm face hard with two hands!!! FailFish

By game logic; grenadiers are as good as obers because they are both at the same popcap now.

and by same logic they are all worst than (5 men) Sappers (pop cap 10)

Popcap values are pretty screwed up tbh. I think the KV-2 is in the mid-twenties right now, which is stupid.

Popcap got pretty fucked up by rounding up all costs. They wont leave it this way, hopefully.

Relic already wrote in another thread, that this is a bug and will be fixed.

I think 5 popcap for vet 0 shreckless volk is fine but once they are upgraded and vet up well 5 pop is really too low..

Increasingly popcap could be a solution to volkspam.

5 Men Toms can eat volks for breakfast and poop them out in the same evening.


Balance case closed and moved to archives.

Why the fuck do people keep repeating this lie? I've read the relic responses, the only post by Relic is Brad saying "Unit values were rounded up! It was in the 'bugs fixed' list!" That in NO WAY implies that they are going to fix it; on the contrary, it's the opposite. It's intentional for some god-forsaken reason.

Guards - 6 not 8

Yes, tell it to volksgrenadiers and panzerfusiliers hordes that attacking you wave by wave untill you destroyed, supported with spammable arty and armor now.

I voted Volks pop fine, and Inf sections at 10 pop, just because it's funny.
