Just curious .... every single cast pqumsieh has been on, he plays only soviets. Being a balance dev maybe for the interest of neutrality it would be nice if he showed a few games as him playing as Germans.

With the recent over nerfs of German units (specially PZ4 and MG42), it might be good if he could show himself playng as Germans in the next cast.

What is this great nerf to the PIV then? Please tell, I'm all ears.

This patch is definitely far more fun to play than the last one on either side, even if I don't agree with the heavy tank price changes.

I played against him on the beta with him playing ostheer.

Balance beta, not the closed/open betas pre-release.

On the few occasions if you decide to play as Germans (I know its hard), put a panzer 4 in front of a conscript squad and notice HOW LONG it takes for the conscripts to take damage. Now do the reverse for a T34 on a gren squad and see how they get vaporized (despite the fact PZ4 is 30 fuel more expensive)

Of course the patch will be fun for soviet lovers, now you can rush conscripts headon into an mg42 without being supressed and even like the good old glory days use maxims to charge into a 42's line of fire and kill it.

My argument is that take a look at the history of the patches.

Every single forum post about nerfing Germans (PZ4/strafe/opel/mg42) and buffing soviets (shocks/t34/is2/maxim) was given a response by relic. Fair enough some of them did need it BUT

But anything game breaking like KV8 insta killing anything and everything or the uber cheap su85 costing the same fuel as a pz4 but outranging every single non doctrinal german unit despite there being 10 page threads on it hardly warrants a response.

Yes, let's accuse the devs of favoritism and give them even less incentive to read these forums. Fantastic.

yeah your over reacting mate, why would the devs purposly make one faction better? and ruin their own game as a result. id think about what you say before you say it

Faction choices in our Twitch streams are selected to show off the balance changes. Iv the team feels that they have something to show off with one faction, then that's the one they play.

Whether or not Peter has a favourite faction it's his job to balance both of them.

Similarly since he's the one in charge of doing so, he can make them both fun to play and address any issues he feels is making one "unfun".

There were some serious changes to the ostheer in the last patch that were really awesome panzerjager2 that you are totally ignoring.

- Panthers cost 130 fuel now. 130. fuel. My gawd.

- Tigers cost 200 fuel now. 200.

Both these awesome tanks cost waaay less fuel and getting some late game manpower is very doable as ostheer. These changes will positively and drastically change options for german late game and I don't think you have grasped that.

Regardless of the thread´s content: Stop selling the manpower increase/fuel decrease as a buff to German tanks. Until now the higher manpower cost has only broken my neck. Could be that I also lost because my mind was dizzy from all the fuel fumes of the barrels I had stored in my HUD.

Well, the P4 is more of an AT tank and the T34 more AI, so from your description it seems like it works as intended.

Well to offset some of the negativity, I'll say as a person who put hundreds of hours into CoH automatch over the years and who was quickly losing interest in CoH2... this patch has seriously returned the fun to the game, in a way that I haven't had since vCoH. Thank you.
