85s They Seem pretty good when i use them, not but are not overwhelming to beat and definately not game changing to use like they were as a callin. They were more effective and used more often in just about every patch prior to this one.

Subjectively to me they seem ok, Objectively its nebulose, I don't think that justifies changes.

Ez8s are good vs P4s and tigers, but not so good vs stugs, jp4s and panthers so same as the line above.

Outside of balance arguments, I don't think they are in the scope and I don't believe they can add them to the scope.

In comparison to the p4, yes. IIRC its 135 fuel? maybe 130, where the OKW p4 will soon be 140, but is generally worse because of the lower HP. Why do you agree with my points that state its overperforming for its price but then say it isn't overperforming?

The 85 is currently overshadowed by the 76 for its cost. I more often find myself going for t34/76's as you can get 3 76's for less fuel than 2 85s. You can also produce a 76 2 earlier than an 85 and their mgs are all the same, as well as the AOE profiles. You get 1920 over 1600 hp and 480 compared to 320 damage with about the same reload at 100 compared to 140 pen. Not that they aren't very good, but since they are comparable to other soviet units, i don't think it's appropriate to adjust their costs right now. I also think that the P4 has historically(ingame) not performed great vs armor with its low penetration so its more appropriate to look at the p4 than the 85s.

I think since both p4 variants are getting cheaper and the more cost effective 76 is getting a price increase, its fair to keep them the same. If they are used a ton and prove to be too strong in the near future then more changes can be looked at, but comparing it to 1 unit when there are dozens more it is in parity with doesn't seem appropriate.

Show Spoiler

Luftwaffe Really doesn't have anything particularly big time or good right now.

Falls are average infantry for their cost and often are behind in the veterancy game.

Recon overflight, nice complementary ability.

Vallaiant assault-probably the best part of the doctrine, no comment on buff values but its a nice type of ability to have access to.

Flak emplacement- Really doesn't fit the doctrine. Either make it bigtime like pak 43(pretend its a flak 88) to make this more attractive or just go all out offensive abilities, like a real airstrike

Airbourne assault- Pretty mediocre ability. You save up a ton of munitions to basically convert it to manpower. The pin and 1 strafe aren't worth much. The falls have no vet and come vs multiple tanks when their performance was already questionable. Its also likely that they can die on landing easily to vehicles.
It would be most useful it it cost some manpower and a lot less munitions. So you didn't have to save for so long to use it. 300 Mp, 125 munitions? It could be more a part of strategy than a once a game mabye thing. vet 0 falls still gonna bleed badly though and i would assume you already have falls, their in another ability

Overall- It needs something big time so it can even pretend to be useful lategame since its mediocre in the midgame and early game right now. Nothing gamechanging comes on the ground or in the air right now.

Suggestions- Steal ostheer pinplane, stuka divebomb, frag bombs, JU87 strafe, ect.

WC51- The unit is very very fragile now. It barley beat a kubel with the gun upgrade. This may be fair for the price of 200 MP, but I think it will have very limited uses even transporting troops or doing anything other than scouting and capping. Mabye thats OK, but it would be nice to flank mgs ect, and I don't think thats feasible with the current armor levels. I had like 2 pios (2 models) at mid range scaring me off at one point testing vs AI.

The mark target seems very strong with a 25% armor reduction, But I cannot say how that compares to other similar abilities

Putting the artillery on this may be a bit too many things going on. I think giving one of the sherman's the arty strike may be more appropriate and less frustrating. I think a lot of players are gonna get angry if they keep losing the truck when it is so core to the commander's late game potential.

I think giving the 76 MM sherman some kind of commander style augmentations would give it some cool flavor, so long as its still a respectable combat unit. (more command p4, than command vehicle, different not less)

It seems there are too many commander abilities now. Perhaps merging the light AT mine and AT gun cloak will help AT gun cloak become more attractive to other commanders.

Tank hunter conscript at nades and 1 shot from their PTRS guns will take a medium tank down below half health in a couple seconds, seems to strong. I can understand the desire to make the AT nades consistent but the damage seems far too much for 25 munitions. Even priced higher 2 squads should probably not be able to run up a medium tank and instantly destroy it, especially when they can cloak and they are simultaneously destroying the engine.

I think making fewer units throw a slightly stronger grenade would reduce the afore mentioned high end performance with full squads but allow it to still be useful most of the time.
