Pretty bizarre. Have you guys seen the tourney yesterday? The only player who could semi-consistantly win axis games was the guy who won the tournament. Should tell you something about the overall state of balance. And yes, flamers on durable squads are a dumb idea.
I dont know about 3rd place match becouse the score is not available on leaderbords but out of all the other BO3s, so where people were actually close in skill, 5 out of 7 were 2:0s. What does it say about a state of ballance? These two 2:1 are also not "allies always wins" matches, for example Brosras vs Paul featured axis wins in first 2 rounds. I don't remember all the matches but there is also one close BO1 I remember: FaHu vs Quentin where quentin won as axis even after terrible amount of mistakes.
So in conclusion, out of 16 matches played in BO3 I can get results of, 7 was won by axis and 9 by allies. Is that one match enough in your opinion to say that game is imballanced?
Give penal AT nade and remove flamer ... Agree
No AT nade then they should be superior anti-infentry with flamer
Look at the grens and volks .. They have faust and excelent anti infintry upgarde, I really hope Soviets get such non commander unit.
Soviets doesnt have a unit with snare and AI upgrade even in any of the commanders
Not that they really need it but its a fact. And ofc penals should remain useful, people complain becouse soviets never used that unit as if they didn't have it at all. The same was with SU-76 buffs. Its a good trend to rescue forgotten units from the void, though. Changes were good and needed, most players just didn't have enough time to adapt.
