Imagine looking at this recent patch as an OST player with all the buffs and still saying theyre UP because of a hotfix to a unit that should have never had that ability to begin with.
Because it was actually fresh and unexpected change? No videos from Hans/tightrope/greyshot's brothers, no discusions on forums, no battles in balance section about upcoming changes?
Yes, this patch was good for all nations, stirring up that old and stale meta with some spices and major overhaul of OST is feeling really good, more shrek blobs and 10min tiger rushes, but that FRP was something we all were waiting form.
However, FRP trows assimetrical balance straight outta window. . On one hand we have really good buff to OST, on other - their identity as army, those Doom'sday PaKs, panzer blitzes and grenadiers sitting in trenches and waiting for enemy to walk strait into those defences.
You need to break tru it, and then it will crumble. With FRP, however, german infantry can come back much, much faster, pushing you back. I have mixed feelings now, as i think about it. It does not really suit well for my usual Ostheer gameplay.
