So you are telling me that when we as a community decided that the B4, ISU meta, soviet sniper sprint, IL2 strafe, AAHT, 120mm, and other units were OP, we were being allied biased? That with all of the threads to buff MG42, Ostheer sniper, and Stug-g, we were secretly plotting the Axis' demise?

"You as comunity" ruined OKW and now you think it's "bad designed" while in alpha, beta, and at the beginning of WFA were simply loving the faction, nothing about "bad design" said then. It became "bad designed" only after fanboys tears destroyed it. The soviet nerfs you mentioned were blatantly needed since longtime ago, long before they were asked. And they only ocured because the same fanboys, bored to death to play only one faction, tried a little axis factions too, and they didn't win anymore. And they like to win. The "against OKW" offensive stopped because the faction is simply wrecked (LOL "balanced" LOL) but now, what do you know, Ostheer starts to be what it's supposed to be. The mg42 change (needed for such a long time) just came and we already have 1-2 threads in which nerfing is required in order to make it shit as it was before. The stug was recenlty changed back into what it supposed to be, a TD, and now we have a TWP thread.

Believe it or not, most of the players in the game (and almost all of the top players) play all the factions, and want nothing more than a completely balanced game. The game is not fun when it is unbalanced, and almost everyone understands that breaking the balance helps noone at the end of the day. Playing all factions means that we also fight all the factions, which gives us a reason not to overbuff a faction just because its funny. Sure, there are some fanboys, but they are very few in number.

What I believe is that are quite a few who want balance but fanboys are many, much more than you want to imply. Top players want balance and they are applauded when they speak for allied and treated with "Oh, I didn't expect this from you, you are a top player, how can you say such a stupid thing?" when they are speaking in axis' favor.

If the majority of the community is saying something that goes against your view, you just may be wrong.

Majority of the community? Most of these guys are not so vocal, they prefer just to read instead expressing their opinions. They won't post unless someone will express their thoughts and another someone will post agreeing with the first. Why? Because they will be called noobs, accused for not posting their stats, etc etc etc....

You don't need to "hold the line" against some invisible faction of fanboys charging in to nerf the Axis faction, because they don't exist. I feel like if you played all the factions, you would not give the statements you do, but at the same time I cannot verify that point because you don't show your playercard. Take a moment to think: "Why am I defending this ability?" If your logic is based purely on "to make sure [X faction] fanboys can't get a victory," you are doing it for the wrong reason.

The only thing against I want to "hold the line" is total balance screwing up and faction destruction which already occured in some cases. Because I like this game and I don't want a bunch of "anti-german/nazi" whatever wannabes destroy the balance just because they learned history watching "Inglorious Bastards" and Clint Eastwood movies or because they hate german language. I am playing enough soviets and USF to know what a rifle spam with smoke grenades / early AA can do, what 120 spam, katiushas or 85s can do. And I like playing Allied factions too, I don't believe to be easier to play as some are saying. But the quantity of allied bias in forums is simply disgusting. That is what I said.

I was saying this since one year at least and all that I got untill now from forumites and some "coders" adound here is that it's very very extra super hard / impossible to cheat at COH2 and that I should L2P or such. I'm glad that this happened to better players than me, maybe someone will listen to them.

YES, Kyle, I had this type of feeling quite a few times untill now but I was to disgusted to eve report to Relic. (Psst... tey don't care anyway).

I noticed also other thing: one-two weeks after a new patch is deployed the game is cleaner than ever and no such things happen. After 2 weeks here and there you can find such "ultrainspired" guys.

The truth is that COH2 contains a little more protection against cheats in comparison with COH1 where almost 50% of players cheated but it's certainly not cheatproof.

I 100% agree that no matter how good a player is, he can't play without making ONE, little, tiny mistake.

Johhny B even argues with the almighty Cruzz. What a fool. CAS is BS.

For the record, since Cruzz is not God allmighty himself, I think I can say what I believe and not blindly follow his opinions.

You know, judging about your first posts on this forum, I thought you are the "good guy" type, making a joke now and then, saying reasonable things. In time, you proved me wrong, judging people while being agressive disrespectful and posting insults while not being insulted. I do not remember calling you a fool, I don't feel like calling you a fool not even now, when you are acting like one.

Paks can't kill tanks? Wut? They are the best AT guns in game.

I guess that's why people can use CAS so efficiently without vehicles.

I'm not even sure what you are saying.

I'm saying PAks and Stugs need TWP, that is what I am saying. Allied vehicles - like all Allied units, infantry or tanks, are fast, specialised in flancking and close up engagements. I am sure you "danced" with your shermanns and / or T34s around Paks decrewing them before, didn't you? In the past, due to faster reload speed, a PAK may have scored 2 hits into a tank that was closing in. Now most of times, it scores but one which usualy means around 25% of its health. You know all these, I am not reinventing the will, why do you pretend you don't understand?!

what play style would achieve maximum effect?

For 3v3 or 4v4 maps, Esxile could be right though a teching to T4 and build of much more powerfull units from there would have better impact. One Panther may have a little impact, but one P IV will have zero impact on this kind of game. The only problem in 3v3 and 4v4 is the map size, you can relay on vehicles to be able to reach far points when you are needed but your opponent can pick a propaganda artilery doctrine for instance which is uncounterable and make you walk the map forever while not being able to participate at engagements where you are needed or efficiently cap. Supporting your mates only with air strikes won't be enough plus you can't properly support them if you use fuel for other things. And air strikes become available since middle game. Untill then, if you have verry good opponents, you can even lose map control. By the way, these are the disadvantages of CAS and due to them CAS can be counterplayed.

For 2v2s don't even bother with teching more than Tier2. After T2 convert ALL your fuel and equip ALL your infantry with weapons. A sdkfz for reinforcing on the field while moving is perfect. Pzgrens with shrecks, grens with lmgs. Mines, air strikes + the ultimate blob. Your team mate must build vehicles to compensate.

Does this answer to your question?
