Profile of Grumpy

The following images are enough to make someone understand how the COH turned out to be broken one since the release of 64-bit system update(whereas it was supposed to be better).
I never faced such dropout issues ever in 32 bit system.I often face the reconnecting bug during battle moments even though the internet is stable.
The following image files are enough to prove the situation:


STOP BRINGING UP USELESS patches and updates.We don't need these if the game does not run well after these updates.

Actually, the images are not proof of anything. 22MBPS isn't very fast and doesn't give any indication about your ping to the server. I've had faster connections than yours that were unplayable due to disconnects. The only thing that is definitely worse for me with the 64 bit is the time to connect to the lobby.

Sturm can balance Germans as much as he wants, but I don't expect him to say anything about USF or Brit balancing

Rather than trying to make this about the balancing team, you might try focusing on the data and the issue.

The data isn't surprising to anyone who has played all factions. For me, it doesn't matter very much whether I'm playing OST or OKW - it feels like I just need to get my two Panthers out as soon as possible then start picking away at the other team. Eventually they will collapse. On a map like Red Ball I might back them with a Ele or JT, but most of the time just need Panthers. I only need one MG (doesn't matter whether it is a MG34 or MG42) where I would normally need two allied mg's (except possibly a vickers). Nerfing the firing arc of those to match the allied mg's would go a long way to evening some of the matchups.

The balance team are hamstrung. Relic won't let them make some (very necessary) major changes to the faction, they seem to be doing their best to make UKF a real faction while staying within the confines of Relic's autistic "vision".

Unfortunately it isnt working, though the effort really is commendable.

While they may be constrained on some things, the direction of the last several patches has been to worsen allies in 4v4. I realize that they're trying to balance 1v1 and possibly 2v2 more than they're trying to affect 4v4's, but they aren't really trying to even out 4v4's.

The statistics aren't surprising. The non-doc rocket arty has too great of an impact on 4v4's, where both werfers and stukas delete allied infantry really well.

UKF doesn't have a good arty counter. They have only three abilities that delete howitzers, each in a single doctrine. Two of them are really expensive and have long cooldowns (Supremacy and Concentrated Fire). The one with Advanced Emplacements is okay but the rest of the doctrine isn't good in 4v4's. The change to Advanced Emplacements was a step in the right direction, but Improved Fortification will always make emplacements more difficult to balance. It would be much better to replace that ability with a 25lbr howitzer to make the commander similar to the Storm commander.

There doesn't really seem to be any good options for USF besides Airborne, Infantry, and Urban (or possibly tactical). The nerf to IR made Recon even more irrelevant. The tiny buff to the Greyhound leaves it still irrelevant. Buffing the main gun or giving it something like treadbreaker would go a long way towards making it better. USF badly needs a non-doc damage sponge. Ost always has at least a Panther and a Brummbar, OKW always has KT's, Panthers, and a PIV that is better than a Sherman. USF has to crutch on Jacksons, Calliope's, Priests, and skill planes.

I think Soviets are mostly okay at the moment. Their win rate is most likely dragged down by UKF.

In the smaller game modes, I think OKW struggles on some of the maps because of the weird power curve of Volks. They probably should be a little better late game. Instead of more Con nerfs, there should be some Volks buffs. I usually get 2-3 Volks in 4's but never replace them if I lose them, they're just too mediocre at the end of the game, especially compared to every other option.

Getting an excellent premium medium is already a good deal for a doctrine slot. But for mechanized ontop of that they get a buff to one of the best stock medium tanks in the game as well. Seems to be way too much for a single doctrine slot imo.

Without the dozer blades, the doctrine is limited to 640 hit point tanks. You're acting like the blades turn it into a Panther or something.

Tested it in cheatmode multiple times:

Real close hit next to the back of a Tiger not even scratched its paint. The AOE must have been nerfed heavily. The visuals of the explosion are telling a whole different story however.

Vet 1 direct shot for 70 Mu failed in destroying a non moving HT for three times. HT survived with some health left always. Combine that with the slow turning/targeting of the ability and just scrap it. Not even close to PAK-43 or 17pdr.

Unfortunately you just confirmed what I thought was going to happen. The tiny AOE would've made it more RNG dependent, even if they had not nuked the damage. Now it's just a 50% version of the old meme. I haven't checked, but I'd bet that the B4 now has an AOE that is less than the LEFH shell that was only about one-fourth of its size IRL.
