Poll: should there even be a major balance patch right now?

There should be a vote option for there should be even bigger sweeping changes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The problem is relic likes to limit scope to much, which keeps bad faction design in place that can't be worked around.

Well, the problem with that is massive generalization of everything and stuff being only copies of each other with different skins.

All stock mortars+120mm+MHTs are dictionary examples of what I'm talking.

With modders balance philosophy, I am 90% that if they had no scope limit, all factions would end up completely bland, tasteless, different shade of the same grey mass as every single patch so far, while improving some things, always killed factions identity a bit and if you're going to have 5 almost identical factions, why have 5 at all?

Prime example? OKW vs Ost.

See title.

I'm personally of the belief that the balance in this game is great right now, and am super scared by the size and effect of the proposed Spring Balance Patch changes. However I'm very intrigued whether I'm in a minority or a majority, please help by voting

Or Relic could have created the factions with their essential tools in the first place. You really want to go back to an OKW with no anti garrison tools, no stock mg (kubel lol), no stock medium tank, and schreck blobs to compensate?

I definitely want a patch to remove squad AI and the building dances. Some adjustments to indirect fire would be nice too. Doesn't need to do anything else really.

Either way the big changes that need to happen are squad spacing. Indirect shouldn't need as adjusted as it is. The easiest and best change, imo, is that indirect fire should only be able to kill 2 models MAXIMUM of a full health squad, much like the change that happened to mines some time ago, I still really don't get why this hasn't been changed as I feel its a pretty safe and straight forward fix.

Preach. I did this is in my mods and such a simple change makes an incredible difference, so much less frustrating RNG and more room for actual calculation of engagements. In particular, it's a huge buff to 4 man survivability who otherwise can easily get one shot. (where as 5 & 6 man squads rarely get 1 shot.)

Ever tried GGmod? I heard this guy made this mod where he implemented explosives changes and it removed about 90% of the games cheese in 1 mod.
