I get bored of this game if I don't lose, tbh. I get angry just like anyone else, but if I don't lose, I want to do something else after about 3 wins. Everyone else seems to be opposite, they stop playing when they lose. What does losing to do you?

I'm NOT a pro, and I prefer to play Allies in large team games. Losing at this game is a fact of life for me. Still, I play 2 maybe 3 games, then I stop if I feel like I'm really beating my head against a wall. My general rule of thumb is if I start to hurl abuse at the opposing team, I just leave. It's embarrassing, solves nothing, but more importantly is an indicator that no one should be this stressed over a video game. Once in a while I play Axis if I just want to win without working too hard at it...

I don't want to lose, I play to win, but there are a lot of good players. I lose least with WM, however.

I took a look at your playercard and you win a little over half your games. Seems like you are chattin' shit fam. Want a challenge? hows about you play all factions, 1v1 and try to get to rank 200 with all of them.

Just did, won easily.

seriously, how bad you can be to not win with the faction that has the best units, best abilities and commanders?

Where is the evidence? If they have the best units then why does the faction have to cheese in tournament settings with 1/2 of the core not being in play?

Win or Lose, I tend to quit after a frustrating match.

I don't have entire days and weekends to devote to playing matches (anymore) so my tolerance for wasting time with frustrating gameplay or heavily imbalanced matchups is very slim. Steamrolling an opponent, (or worse having to 'win' against an afk opponent(s) or AI), is worse than a loss most times, at least as far as enjoyment is concerned.

My fault, I feed axis trolls. It was responding to posts up.

Just in time, you get to a certain level. On this level, you usually have one win, on one loss.
It is normal state. You get forward only when improving your style of play and micro.

Many people than their own improvement, dedicated to whine on forum.

I certainly don't agree with zerocoh, but "cheese in tournaments with 1/2 of the core not being in play" is true to a greater or lesser extent for every faction. :)

There is plenty of evidence of Axis units being the best in the stats. Even if a specific unit isn't the best, I can't think of any that are the worst either. Each unit is pretty effective at what it does.

However, I will say that I was recently really pissed and frustrated using a jpIV and it fucking missed over and over again at the longest range. I don't know if it was just a crap game, but it might have missed more than the jackson and panther do at long range. At least the shots didn't get deflected though, I think that would inspire rage quit in me (which I don't do).

By the raw numbers, only a few units like Assault Grens could fit that description. If you set it in relation to the gameplay mechanics of the specific faction and the gameplay mechanics of the opposing factions, you will get to see a significantly different picture: The Ostheer Panzer IV is the worst medium tank if you compare costs and performances across all factions, the Ostheer Panther is also the worst tank destroyer for its cost.

Then there's mechanical problems: Ostheer teching in general is still the worst mechanic in the entire game (followed with some distance by Soviet teching, which has the benefit of not being as linear), which in turn has a considerable effect on the entire faction. While especially the US gets actual combat capability when teching up, Soviets and Ostheer suffer from having large investments drained with no such immediate pay-off (luckily, OKW was toned down to more acceptable levels recently). And of course the problem of what playstyles the game itself favours (e.g. mobile infantry units are generally better off than their immobile counterparts) and how the factions do or don't fit that, which of course also creates a bunch of problems by itself without actual unit performance being of relevance.

So yes, if we go by pure numbers on the units themselves, there are few problems in terms of balance design. But if you look at the bigger picture, beyond comparing unit A and unit B (such comparisons work with only a handful of units in the game, in most cases those "by the numbers"-comparisons are useless), there is actually a lot of work that needs to be done.

I think the tournaments evidence the best players and not as best factions, the major players have victories indexes with their factions well above the average, are the best players as a reference, they all should have the contents of victories and defeats playing with a college determined below the overall average statistics of the game. That NEVER happens!
