Donk donk donk! Good day. Nod. Is a certain... Mister Hans home? We have a large delivery for him...

Joking aside, mostly, the balance team does seem to have problems with their scale. Should we send them a replacement, Hans? With some bombs?

Or not. End of jokes. Sorry for having them at your expense, Hans.

Does anyone reckon there will be public testing of it?

In all seriousness, I think it's okay to maybe mess up once or twice with adding new units in, but the amount of times it has happened now is ridiculous. It's like the balance team at Relic doesn't even bother to test these new units out before release. I would be all for helping test these units (although that's not my job)if I could stream this content. Still have no idea why Relic wants to keep new commanders and stuff under NDA, people know its a work in progress, so what's there to hide?

I don't know. Perhaps something about marketing and hype, maybe?

Relic seems to be messing this up time after time. So their balance process with this must be flawed, if they even have one. Like, are the actual game designers separated from the balance ones? Or is it some executive that insists that the commanders be strong at release for more sales?

It seems so odd to not learn from past experiences at this point.

It is quite the coincidence that volk blobbing is at an all time high, right as they release these blob counter commanders......almost as if it was planned XD

Why patch blobbing factions and units for free (both usf and okw) when you can SELL people the solution for £3.99?

Just a thought.

That's great and all, but where is the Hotchkiss, Relic?

i am 99% sure they release them on purpose that stronk, or they are the worst game designer/balancer what ever, even worse than the warthunder and co crew.

+1.

Doesn't matter for me if it's even useable as in - you can win games with the commander.
I just like new units and commanders in general.



It's called business mate.
Make a unit OP, bring it out, watch people buy the commander (ex. CalliOPe) - profit - tone it down.

You might argue that it's bad business, but if they keep doing it, I'm sure the figures are showing that it's working.

A well balanced commander will sell more then a cheesy OP commander that will be nerfed next month, as people will recognize it's utility over buffed shit.
