1. USF buffs (needed. Riflemen's vet needs to mean something in late game, USF hmg should be the best hmg in the game, as intended. Players will be able to win with other doctrines than Paras );
2. Possible soviet buffs (not needed, but they will receive them anyway, while ISU will remain the same. T34 will be made almost equal to P4 while being much more cost effective. Together with the OKW unavoidable nerfs, the soviet trololol is comming);
3. OKW nerfs, making it close to unplayable (it will still be considered OP because it can build "elite" units. 2-3 per game. Currently, it has early game advantage, middle game disadvantage and late game advantage. Because of estimated nerfs, it will have early game disadvantage, middle game disadvantage, and, because of these two, late game disadvantaged. Allied, ftw);
4. Some more Ostheer nerfs (it still has a few units that mean something so they have to be nerfed in order for allied spammer noobs to win).

There definitely should be side armour values. I know it would force Relic to add more algorithms and complicate things, but it's one of the features I most want to see added.

Definitely this! Vehicles need to have 3 armor types: front, side and rear.

needs pen buff. thats all

If it needs something, it needs either more speed, either more health.

There is a new disease. This is the "monthly patch" syndrom. So what if they will not release a patch this month? At list people have some time to shape their strategies.
Don't you think is tiring to rethink your strategy every single month, taking into account what units you should use more often and what units you should avoid building?
I don't play every single day, but even if I would, it would still be hard to find new solutions and combos again and again.
Sometimes I think they better grant COH2 some stability, no matter how bad the balance would be. Probably there were times in the past when this game was in a better balance state than today, but this crazy patching ruined it again and again.
I remember good old COH1. There were balance problems of course, and patches came slow, one at 6 months, maybe even slower. But no matter how bad was the balance, players still found solutions, because they had time. Now, after one hour or two after a new patch is released, whiners are crowding in forum raging about how bad is the balance and how shitty their former combos are now. This will never bring balance. This will just bring chaos.

DONT MAKE ME LAUGH

my p47's get rekt by okw AAA

Mine doesn't. But I think I know why. If you play 4v4, and in the opposite team is more than one OKW, the AA combined capabilities could rape the P-47 I guess. I don't know, cause I don't do 4v4. On 2v2 or 1v1 this ain't happening and I'm pretty sure of it. I lost one-maybe 2 P-47s in all my paratrooper doctrine games (and I usualy use this doctrine as USF).
