I think you both kinda missed the mark. Napalm isn't saying buff penals DPS because they are underperforming but rather, change them from being mid-short range units to make them a long range one.

Since now they are more or less just conscripts with more DPS, flames and satchel. Changing their stats by improving their long-range DPS and perhaps lowering their short-mid range would make them distinct from the conscrips.


Furthermore I agree with Katitof about the SU-76M, I like my little Suchka. and there barrage is great against blobbing.
To make it more used how about changing it so it will do similar as the US M8?
Buffing its AT and armour would just make it a smaller SU-85 and I don't think it would be used more because of that.

Using one persons stats. - "statistics"


Yeah right mate.

The OP does understand that ELO is calculated per faction right?
So if that was your first time playing SOVs you were ranked against somebody who had never played Germans before, and probably not even the game.

So you beat a first timer by just pushing out Maxims, Zis and mortars, wow congratz. First timers are usually really hard. Lets take this match as an example for all other balancing purposes!


As for the general idea of using one or two matches to prove balancing is off.... it is all anecdotal and shouldn't be used. Furthermore the plural form of "anecdote" is not "data".

If u cant beat OKW in 45min and they start calling KT and JT u have done a huge mistake and deserver the lose. OKW have the most powerfull Lategame Units.

So if we flip it around, if OKW manages to hold on, even if it is just by their fingernails, for 45 minutes they deserve to win?

Or we have a game that is balanced even in greater matches. I fail to see any great imbalance playing Wehrmacht in larger matches, when non of my mates brings out the JT, and those games are often more fun. It is a crutch to lean on that the faction doesn't need.



P.S. The new German faction is going for really powerful late-game units, wow real original thinking Relic, that's not the forth time at all.

Look at the War Game series and tell me games with multiple armies are impossible to balance. 10 factions? and 10 vs 10 gamemodes.

The entire problem with this particular unit is the same that used to be with Tiger Ace and the ISU-152. It is a singular win or lose unit, an end unit or boss unit if you'd like.

Having these kinds of units does not promote good playing and a tactical mindset combined with good overlook and micro. It is a no brainer. In that it requires the player to just hold out until it hits the field.

I believe that putting any such unit in a games is always detrimental to the game.
Some of the best games I've had have been when no side has gotten these boss units, and instead relying on Pz-IV, Panthers, Tigers, SU-85s, T-34-85s and T-34/76s. Those games are the most fun because they are hard for both sides and you know just as fast as your brain is going the enemies brain is equally under a strain.

That is fun, that is what I think a lot of people want. Do we really want games where one side is static and the other side have to come up with a good tactic and combine that with execution in order to win, while the static side can go get a coffee whilst it plays out?

(Have done that a couple of times with the old ISU.)

Just don't keep adding Boss units and balance is fine. Lower the cost of the Jagdtiger, lower either its pen or dmg but keep the range and it'll still fill its role nicely, but it won't be a Boss unit anymore. Just like how the Ele, ISU and TA are now considered strong units but not boss units.
