Are you certain you weren't better than the other players despite the T34/76s instead of because of them? Comparing your ranking to that of your competitors the only player within 100 ranking of you is Mackie. It's possible to get away with sub-optimal builds/units if your micro and macro play are better than your opponent's but much harder, as evidenced by the trouble Mackie gave you in the replay, when player skill is closer to equal. There might be a bit of unintentional selection bias if you're only beating lower rank players with the T34/76.

I like it, really. Make Maxim cost 260 MP and set-up longer. Without buffing arc of fire or suppression...

I just don't understand, they last time buffed 222 scout car without increasing cost or something like that, but Maxim they nerfing without any buffs in back...

Is that some kind of joke - we will buff axis without balancing and nerf soviets without compensation...

Just don't understand... want to cry.

You see,

When something is UNDER-PERFORMING,(i.e. old 222) you BUFF it, either by INCREASING its potency or DECREASING its cost.

When something is OVER-PERFORMING,(i.e. current maxim) you NERF it, either by DECREASING its potency or INCREASING its cost.

If you were to increase its cost but at the same time buff its fire arc or suppression it would defeat the purpose of making the change, which is to balance.

Capisci?

Given you username, however, I can understand your dismay.

I completely disagree.

If you buff something enough, it warrants a price increase also. Case in point, the 222. It's far too cheap for the utility it provides.

Likewise, if you nerf something enough, then it also warrants a price decrease. It fails in cases like this because Relic follows logic such as yours, which upsets quite a few people and doesn't make any sense at all.
