Dude, you have literally played 54 games all as soviet all 4v4................ How in the name of god can you possibly have an opinion on balance!??? I mean no offence man but you are TOTALLY new to COH2. Please stop making very silly statements such as the above quote, you quite simply have no idea what you are talking about........
PS using an ISU as a counter to a JT is so so so so so so so so so so wrong.......
I never even said anything about balance, except nerfing ISU, which people agree to doing....
I also suggested moving commander-specific units into core units maybe you can say that is "balancing".
My comments come from observations in team games so obviously it may conflict with others who play other modes. However i have found that many of my sentiments match other player's thoughts about the game. I don't think my thoughts on balance are wildly different than others, because i have come to the same conclusion on certain issues.
Anyways, on the comment about using ISU to counter KT and JgdT, i apologize for not clarifying my thoughts. Obviously, a 1v1 situation involving ISU and an Axis superheavy is going to spell doom for the Soviet player. In the late game though, both players will have the superheavy and support units+infantry. ISU does a lot of damage, so it allows a player to have a fighting chance against these Axis heavies (obviously with support units etc). Because of its significant damage, it is sort of a "soft" counter to Axis heavies.
When you nerf the ISU (depending on how drastic the nerf will be), it pigeons players into using the IS2 commanders to counter Axis heavies. People already complain about worthless commanders, so these changes may lead to more commanders being neglected.
Plus, nerfing a unit without looking at the relationship between that unit and its native faction and opposing factions can lead to serious consequences. Look at Soviet nondoc roster in terms of AT and tanks.
1. At Gun
2. T34/76
3. Su76
4. SU85
AT Gun is fine but all those other units are really midgame units. You really cant defeat Axis late game armor (unless they make big mistakes and im not talking about a frontal assault either . don't forget, Axis have better AT guns and AT infantry too). So nerfing the ISU does not really matter to me but please look at the Soviet core roster; please give it a weapon that can do some decent damage against heavies. Anything like a SU100 or moving the T34/85 into an upgrade would be great change. I don't want anything OP or dominating, it can be a pure late game change. I hope you understand where i am coming from
