His point is that you should buff Allies resource conversion abilities to be the same instead of removing them from Axis.



This wasn't the case for a good period of time, and we should go back to that period design wise. All fuel points and capture points should be equally able to be contested by the enemy team.



Yes the factions are retardedly designed. Why Allies are best in the early to mid game and Axis best as late game makes no sense when it plays directly against all conventions of skill and tactics.



Team synergy is not the enemy here, the availability of it how ever is. Allies need more tools to enable team work.

Well in my posts I never suggested nerfing the abilities or handing more to soviets, they were really justifying my claim that it was not fair.

Other than that we seem to have landed on the same conclusion some how this time

Soviet Industry defeats it's only point of existing. If your limit is fuel income, then switching that limit to MP changes nothing. You will get as many tanks as you always could have but the limit factor is INCREASED since you get reduced MP as you take up pop cap but not as you make tanks with fuel.

Luftwaffe isn't super viable outside of 3's and 4's because it starves Ost for MP even more, so your fucked even harder for teching.



It's map dependent in all game modes, it's far less effective on maps with contested muni points and fuels because you will spend long periods of time without being able to drop supplies for fear of giving it to the enemy or losing the point.

Well when you explore 1v1s, try industry out. What most people do is wait to activate it to create a buffer of man power so that with the increased fuel rate you dont run out of Manpower. But the main point here as I said is that Industry has not perfected the trade off between manpower and fuel.

In 1v1 you are manpower starved (at least against USF) but its not bad at all in 2v2. That is one of the reasons Windustry works best in 2v2 as opposed to any other game mode.

While it is map dependent, we have a game where majority of the maps have a "safe" fuel or munitions that is more orientated to your side.

If we had more maps like the new winter 2-4 player map with one fuel, Like you said this commander would not come out much.

Really the bigger issue that has existed since release is how certain meta born gimmicks overshadow other units and create a false sense of uselessness about them.This is quite the case for many of the commanders Axis have since they do not utter rely on them like Soviets to do well. Luftwaffe is simply overshadowed by commanders such as Mechanized.

When people dont look past these veils we have what happened after WFA released and USF early game was adjusted. People thought OKW were terrible, and there were not. After adjusting some of the allies toys people started to figure out that OKW had fantastic units. Notice how almost nothing has been adjusted until recently because players did not look deep enough into the game.

As for the resource modulation here is why its not fair. As PQ has said in his blog, there has to be trade offs between decision and gain. If you play starcraft II, a comparison you could get is what if in multi player games only one side was allowed to use Mules to gather resources For their allies while the other side was restricted to regular resource gathering. Not quite fair is it that one side can spoon feed their Protoss player into the later stages of the game quicker with minimal risk to them.

If both sides had equal abilities it would be at least balanced. But instead its not, and the allies version gets shot down by free AA if there are OKW players around.

We are playing a game where one side has a better late game. Fuel is the biggest determining factor in how successful your late game is. Mostly safe fuel drops for one side and not the other means the late game side can quickly get out their better toys. Also the munition drops allow axis whom have better munition sinks and are generally starved to easily bypass the phase of the game where they are designed to struggle.

TLDR Resource modulation in team games is bad because it skips intended disadvantages and is not equally spread out between the different sides

Well Industry is a cool idea, use the stock not so great units in conjunction with an iconic them of the Soviet union. They just have not found the perfect balance between manpower drain and fuel increase. At one point it was incredibly OP and then into the ground it went.

It does modulate resources but with draw backs shared by no one else but the player.

Luftwaffe is viable just not as strong as call in meta, so its never seen.

The opel fuel truck was nerfed and only affects one player for this reason. It was completely unfair back before WFA came out in team games. One player would set up caches, another would do opel trucks, and the axis late game was rofl stomp

I think these abilities have trade offs in a 1v1 but are incredibly unfair as more players are added to the game

...which... is wrong in my opinion and exactly this is the problem. It needs to be more effective against vehicles, not infantry. And such a change (penetration buff) won't make guards crapy again. It will just improve their performances against vehicles and even medium tanks which will be ok and needed. Let's put it this way: how would you feel about changing schrecks in the same manner? To be quite good vs infantry?

No, AT rifles had issues with the new tanks which is why they quickly got replaced. They were buffed specifically for anti infantry this patch because guards were terrible. You would loose a model or so, and there went all of the dps outside of the DP's because the PTRS didnt contribute anything. this change was to make them more consistant throughout the fire fight and worth buying. Guards dropped out of the previous meta because people didnt want to pay 360 mp and 85 munitions just to have a unit that can tie an upgraded gren squad.

The conscript PTRS buff was a consistency consequence. They did not look far enough into the game to see how a lot of cheap squads wielding the buffed weapon could turn out be broken.
