I don't really see a point of arguing balance with him. I haven't been here while but I do see you complaining about vs UKF alot. When stats say otherwise.

So there is no point of arguing balance? maybe with some rework UKF can actually get out of that 42%(last time i saw) win rate,and again and again i must stress my point was not about them being OP, but UKF units having more abilities compared to similar units of any faction roster really. I even suggested to give them mobile mortars and Rocket Art by default and the only nerf i suggested was to give the Comet only one type of smoke while taking a look at why some many utillities on a single unit(IS being the primary one).

Starcraft isn't assymmetrical because you can play mirror.

You will have to forgive my Sarcasm but: On tournaments and on matchmaking you can choose to play OST vs OST or SOV vs SOV for the ultimate balance.

And as Katiof said that's not how asymmetrical balance is defined.

I dont think counting the number of abilities a given unit has is a good way of determining its strength, otherwise combat engineers would be more powerful than shocks.

Sure i agree with you, but the thing is Assault Engineer(which i assume you meant) and shocks are both doctrinal units and serve different roles in your unit roster, let's say you compare rangers and shocks which fill a similar role(if rangers go for Thompsons of course),shocks have nade and smoke nade and come deadly at close range by default, Rangers need to upgrade,have nade and can grab a bar(even with thompson), see not a great number of diffent abilities/utilities and if only counting active abilities the Rangers just lack a smoke nade.

Or if you go for a Axis/allies matchup you get Assault Grenadiers vs Shocks(closest matchup i can think in term of roles): Assault can upgrade to 6 man(veteran model) have Nades and sprint, while for shocks they have the nade and smoke nade. And Again i know the squads have different stats(armor,weapons and values) but they do serve similar roles.

Again nothing like the host of abilities/utilities the ISs can get compared to any other mainline unit by default.

Compared to SC2 ladder it would be:

Lv20/15 GM
Lv14 Masters
Lv13/11 Dia
Lv10/7 Plat
Lv7/5 Gold
Lv2/4 Silver
Lv1 Bronze

And since at one time i got to Lv 15 any opinions from anyone below me is now invalid and they should learn how to play. S/

Agreed British are nerfed into the ground. They really need to move the Mortar Pit to its own upgrade or commander and give them a proper mortar. On paper it seems good but needing to sit there and repair which takes forever and has a chance to one shot your Sappers compared to sitting behind a half track/ambulance or any other form of field reinforcement is light years ahead in usefulness and durability.

Agreed on the mortar part. and as you said the UKF on paper seems like a very strong faction(As they were at one point in time) just need a rework to actually balance what works(ISs,Comets) and what does not(lack of mobile art and rocket,vickers lmg being actual shit at supressing,emplacements).

You are wrong, and I have given you reasons why.

Correct. IS overtuning is part of why UKF isnt ever going to be a decent faction.

Yes,I think UKF needs a faction rework, but i don't think that will happen anytime soon.

And immobile, and therefore impossible to move out of harms' way. It also doesn't have double the range of normal mortars.

Correct. much prefer a mobile mortar, maybe make emplecements cost less(mp and pop wise) but have no brace or only brace with units inside.

Immobile and costs fuel. Unless you mean the Pak-43, wherein the Pak-43 can shoot through shotblockers on all attacks.

Correct again, but the main issue i see is that the UKF have the static AT gun regardless of doctrine chosen.

Yet, they got nerfed in winter balance & will be in commander patch.

Why? Am I missing something?

I do get replies about UKF playing count, yet nothing about win ratio. The important factor here is (obviously) win ratio.

By the way, when will JLI be nerfed? I cannot see the reason to give all the abilities to them and called in at cp1. When all other factions have call-in infantry at cp3. Comparing them with ranger... sigh...

From what i can tell from my experience playing as UKF(and again this is anecdotal) in 3x3 and 4x4 , i either roll over Axis with terminator sections and emplacements(mortar mostly) with good control over fuel points early game or they manage to hold enough for a elefant/Brummbar combo while leFHs bombard everything you have, at which point you either manage a Comet dive on the heavies supported by fireflys and if you are on good team by some allied offmap, or try to make a 17 pounder(which will just get bombarded to death). If none of those work you just watch all that VP advantage you made early game wither away before your eyes while your tanks are killed by the elefants, the emplacements/Arty by the leFHs and your infantary by vet 5 JLIs.

And from playing as Axis(again anecdotal personal experience) it's the same but in reverse the UKF comes with the terminator IFs blobs supported by some emplacements(which are hard to deal with early game) makes holding the fuel a living hell(maybe even closes one side/fuel point of the map due to sheer amount of emplacements) at which point either one of the randoms quits because they don't see a fuel nor VPs connected or your team holds one and makes some caches to proceed to stall for the elefant to deal with any of the allies tanks, one guys makes a leFH gets vet 1 with it and leaves it on counter Barrage while having a army composed intirely of JLIs and 3 rocketens, by some point in the game your team has 1 elefant, 1 king tiger and assorted suporting tanks and like 150 vps to the allies 400s , and as i wrote aside from a massive dive supported by offmaps the axis tanks will keep the allies tanks away(with decent micro) keeping a 2 VP pressure most of the time on the allied team,and then you see all that VP advantage the allies had wither before their eyes while your team kills their tanks with the elefant, the emplacements/Arty with the leFHs and the infantary with vet 5 JLIs.

So what i am saying is late game Axis Combined arms ''OP'' when used well on team games(hence the win rate i think).But IFs are a pain to deal with too and should be looked at.

Is Fortified Armor such crap that Jaeger Armor just superior? The ISU doctrines are pretty competitive with each other, Jaeger Armor just... isnt.

Well Hull down on tanks like the elefant don`t seen that useful so the scope is more preferable, smoke too if you need to use it on the elefant, is because most likely you are already surrounded and up ''puddingcreek'' with no paddle, command tank migth be viable with new command patch but rigth now just ins't. the only mostly useless thing in jaeger is the mine(mostly nobody uses haltrack to lay it).

I love how in 1 vs 1 jaeger armor is like 12th place, but 2 vs 2 and up it jumps to 1st pick.
