Updates on BALANCE PREVIEW MOD

Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2016, 14:34 PMMathias_Bras

So, what mainline infantry is OKW supposed to field without a commander? Obers? Obers look great on paper but are lackluster in practice due to timing and cost. They can't vet up due to facing vet 3 squads and high tech units when they hit the field. Volks most certainly are the mainline infantry. But Volks have never been about DPS. They have been about utility. So instead to balance them they nerf their utility and make them about AI DPS. Dumb idea.

If Volks lose their shrecks, then Rifles should loose bazookas. Then you can use armor to deal with them. Kinda like how people complain about not being able to use armor against Volks. Why not just remove all the AT infantry from the game?

Just saying this whole deal with removing the shreck from Volks is a joke. Keep the factions different. Keep the handheld AT on both Rifles and Volks. If a unit is over performing, then make some adjustments. Why not try things like reducing the range on handheld AT? That lets armor kite and rewards flanking/surprise attacks.

I hope this patch dies...

You´re too much in a wrong logic of if this W happens to my faction, then your faction must get that X. You're not going really far with that.

They tried that a little bit. They significantly lowered the accuracy of the shrek to make them less likely to alpha strike light vehicles into the ground. The issue persisted because of the sheer number of shreks that were likely to be around.

The issue with that was the volume of shreks. If you reduced them further they were individually unsatisfying and bordering on useless. When firing in a 4+ squad pack they were about right but you'd never use them unless in a pack.

RIP German heavy armor. No need to go for that shit any longer.

Were bazooka blobs a problem? Did good players blob zook rifles?

Its AN option, not THE option anymore.

Bullshit.

The Tiger, Elefant, King Tiger etc. all got a nerf because heavies were supposed to be nerfed. Yet the IS-2 received a buff for its scatter to offset the nerf. Churchill, KVs, ISU didn´t receive any nerf. This is just a nerf to German vehicles. Not enough: Only the Allied tank destroyers received buffs. There is no reason at all to go for German armor but the Panzer IV and StuG.

Tiger and panther are lackluster.

If you don´t see how a super slow, super expensive and easy to penetrate Elefant is a bad idea, we have nothing to discuss.

I suggest you play Germans for once and see how they struggle lategame versus Brits already. Germans with the disadvantage in tanks is just utterly ridiculous.

Jp4 has a small cone of LOS
Command P5 is doctrinal

Also, the ISU is still a beast, just a reminder...if you use it correctly

But it has predator camo.
So what it's doctrinal? Doctrinal units can have better sight or what?

So is KT yet all I see are whines how weak it is.

Speaking of KT, we've had vet5 KT in 1v1 and vet4 ST last night on balance mod stream featuring top players.
