the Cromwell had a nerf to it's target size and compared to the other medium tanks (except for the T-34) it has no upgradable MG to fight infantry with
It still has great speed, crush and the gun is great vs infantry. It never needed an MG.

Well, bug has not been fixed fully, but yeah, it covers a few days where it was blatant.
Guys, coh2charts is great an all, but strictly the number only say something about what your chances of winning are when you are in the top 250.
This doesn't directly translate to balance as that would require that the top 250 for each faction are on the same skill level. Further: There are more than 1000 games more for Allies in the top 250 than for Axis, guess what that means.
So, yeah, interesting maybe, but nothing to get worked up over, really...

I think the massive loss ratio in a large part can be explained by any OKW or OST player worth his salt will not touch these faction with a barge pole considering how OP USF are with the broken T0 mortar and the combined arms bug.
This pretty much leaves Axis players who
a) don't care about ladder position
b) don't know the game is in a broken state
c) all playing allies right now
d) aren't the highest quality axis players to begin with.
Myself last time I checked (before this patch) was in the top 200 OST for 1v1, will not go near them in this current patch. mainly due to USF, FYI

Yes, but is that relevant in this context?
Ok, admittedly it is if we take the title very literal, but that's not what most people discuss here, no?

Underpriced vehicles, British infantry dominating most engagement? In which world exactly? The only underpriced vehicle in the entire British arsenal is the Comet perhaps, the Churchill is still shit and not worth the price, the Cromwell had a nerf to it's target size and compared to the other medium tanks (except for the T-34) it has no upgradable MG to fight infantry with, you nerf or take that away from the UKF and you'll severely cripple it's Armored support. And no, un upgraded British infantry only win in the early game when in cover, later if they don't get Brens they're worthless, especially IS when they hit Vet 3, RE are the only way to fight the British's major weakness which is manpower bleed, especially from snipers, altho I can agree that they feel OP sometimes, specifically when one goes for double Brens on them then Heavy Engineers and then the flamethrower upgrade from the Mobile Assault Regiment but that's about it.

Why use cover when at vet 3 you gain 50% received accuracy...

Why flank tank destroyers, when at vet2 you get 30% armor?
Same principle, I'm pretty sure you have enough Intelligence209 in you to know the obvious answer.

How are you even going to begin comparing a tank to mainline infantry????
