OP updated with all changes.

That SU-85 nerfs... Its an overexpensive bad joke Jackson

Its a sniper tank-destroyer with high pen, high accuracy and self-spotting. It needed this to do something different then the SU-76 without murdering medium tanks really, really hard.

@Jason Lee and Relic,


Please take a look at Ardennes Assault multiplayer maps and put some on automatch list.

Theres 5 or 6 maps ready for automatch and they are very good/balanced maps.

That SU-85 nerfs... Its an overexpensive bad joke Jackson

how is this a nerf? it seems like the changes increase the accuracy, penetration, make it harder to hit and increase its rotation speed, while increasing the price to compensate.

Then why dont make SU-76 a diferent unit intead of destroying SU-85? Like giving it the choice to ve direct or indirect fire, but not that stupid balance were everyone has a jackson

Well, might as well just re-post this since the conversation is moving in this direction:

Relic, here are a couple of units that are in need of looking at (with the current balance changes at the moment):

• Obers will need a buff, or something that will make them shine in their AI due to volks taking that position.
  
• Adding panzerjager, or giving sturmpioneers schrecks.
  
• Make Wehrmacht trenches useful since they now have sandbags.
  
• Stop the Jagdpanzer from using it's predator cloak while moving.
  
• Think about the changes towards mines.
  
• Scale conscript to have some chance vs other infantry.
  
• Buff to the Ostwind's accuracy.
  
• Buff to the Flak Emplacement.
  
• Buff the M-42 somehow.
  
• Slight buff to the Tiger/Tiger Ace to compensate for their greater weakness in the rear armor.
  
• Reduce CP requirements of the Valentine, Hetzer, and Greyhound.
  
• Buff the Greyhound in any way possible.
  
• Decrease the chances of Guards throwing all of their weapons.
  
• Buff the B4.
  
• Etc.

Brad is fired and RNG is bad

Then who is implementing these changes wholesale from fucking competitive tryhard mod?

Sorry, I had to.

Stupid question... is this available in the modding hub to test? If so what's it called? I only see Miragefla's mod.

I hope somebody makes a mod having the stuff previous at this patch

Not yet, it will come out the 27th it looks like. Try Miragefla's mod, it's got 90% of these changes.

Who knows ... But probably Jason Lee the main balance director or who is he. Hard to say to be honest, but it seems like he is the only one responsible for disitions right now.

Thanks for quick reply. Will have to do that - itching to test these changes out
