First off, shout out to the folks involved with these patches.

Secondly I'm seeing some wrong nerfs in the wrong areas.

Such as the Comet, I think it's range was fine, but it's sniper AI is what's the problem, as well as it being able to tango with a tiger tank, meaning it pens the tiger, the tiger shots bounce off the comet. That shouldn't happen.

Secondly, emplacements was never built in the base sector, so there is legit no nerf or change there, the problem with emplacements is the brace. Fix brace to fix emplacements.

And as for cover artillery, it shouldn't be allowed at all in the base sector, so none of the AOE circle should be able to be in the base sector at all.

Firefly ROF needs to be cut by a second (just a quick two cents)

Unfortunately, there are very few people queueing for mod games, which means I haven't had the opportunity to personally test stuff by myself a lot. With few people queuing up, there's bad matchmaking, and I haven't personally faced or used Artillery Cover in a meaningful way.

On paper, however:
- Yes, perhaps gun loader critical duration could get increased, if the ability is UP. However I have no opinion on that, yet.
- The ability should be a decent, affordable generalist ability that covers a big area. The other 50% of doctrine's power should come from the forward observation post ability, which is currently useless.

I still dream of the change that reads:

*Fixed UKF Brace ability, brought inline with other factions aka logic.*
- Removed from the fucking game...

no emplacement play at all

While I agree in spirit, its removal would mean no emplacement play at all, and I do think that the mortar pit, while annoying, does have some role in the game.

Good stuff!
Am I understanding the situation correctly assuming Command Panther will only buff vehicles of allies and no infantry?

RIP Soviets if the maxims are overnefed with nothing given to cons. The faction as itself is pretty awful with the recent patches, and the maxim spam is about the only thing that lets them kind of compete with OKW early game.

after playing some matches usf is literally too strong and no one seems to talk about it...and the papaertank thing is way too overblown...they tanks aren't much different from soviets and ukf tbh......

like the argument is made their infantry needs to be stronger becasue their tanks are weak and its not true at all..they are just different

jackson have low armor but costs much less high dmg and range and very speedy they just have cons and pros for their price

you have tanky tanks like sherman easy 8

pershing is maybe the best heavy tank in the game...

and on top of that you have free officers and over the top infantry and one weaknees they used to have was no access of mortar even thats not an excuse

Oh you mean like the PAK43 and every other factions emplacements? Seems fair to me... Boost their HP 25% if you have to, but brace needs to go.

lol what why did you further nerfed command panther...?? give me the reasoing now why we have to pay extra fuel for this just revert these changes its awful....comet isn;t getting much nerf but command panther is geting nerfed to the ground modding balance team showing obvious allied bias
