Your balance opinions are far worse than even Incendiary Rounds. Not even he would say something as dumb as “Shocks are OP like Falls”.

What is wrong with this? Almost crutch units per se.

Falls got nerfed, shocks not really.

I hope the mods see the "dumb" part without any explanation cause it is offensive, so please don't do that.

If I remember someone compare pershing and HE sherman, and another compare Pershing and Tiger, you can join it easy but I don't know where it was post.

Tightrope tested all heavies against infantry squads after the patch (vs cons and volks) I think.

I dont think you can compare the 2. The tiger is more durable does not need to swith rounds to excell in either ai or at and has less utility.

Imo the tiger still is a safe bet over a p4 or panther. Just not as safe anymore. It still has about panther level at on its main gun next to p4 reload time and good ai as well. Add its durability on top of that.

Of course I'm aware of the differences. Yet I feel such comparisons would be so cool. Then you would probably have to compare against different infantry squads and cover. IMO impossible to actually do because of how time consuming and painstaking it would be. I feel tightrope is the only one to actually try that. Still probably not enough data. I guess at least a dozen of people should do that testing different settings (range, cover, attack ground shots, different infantry squads, and many more variables - pintle, no pintle to name just a few).

it's all been done before by several people (most famously by tightrope), but if you really want to exclude rng to the point that these tests become somewhat reliable you'd have to up the number of repetitions from 'a few' times to 'a couple hundred times' at least. that's not gonna happen, unless someone has the time and energy to spend literal days on collecting this kind of data in-game.
imho, theoretical calculations, as done for example by Hannibal or myself, can fill this gap nicely, but that doesn't mean videos like the one posted by aerafield have no value - especially if they are used to reinforce an argument.

Well, Tightrope's vids are the best imo. Much better than this one. They, from what I remember, seem to suggest otherwise to the vid from here. He just uses more tanks simultaneously shooting at targets. This vid is an rng show. I'm not commenting on the state of a tiger though, haven't used it much after the last patch.

That's ignorance too.

Not even responding to this. Just no comment.

I already did, in every single thread I gave you stats and stat pages and you still ignored them completely and went on babbling incoherently based on "I think I'm right".

No, you didn't. You just linked a page with stats, which I know very well. That is not giving stats. That is manipulation - you are almost never specific about anything. You keep posting very general statements based largely on myths, and back it all up with a link to a page with stats, which I believe you can't understand. You basically try to make sb with different opinion (and actually playing the game, watching tournes, etc.) do all the work providing stats and replays while You yourself never really do that.

Soviets also have much more abilities they have to use that cost munitions, have you already forgot how you wanted to nerf ZiS barrage? That's one of them.
Oorah? 15 muni.
All soviet elites have nades and use them frequently.
Not to mention all the doctrinal abilities and offmaps to boot.

And that is EXACTLY the problem with their balance. They can spam those abilities more than axis factions. It is not a great difference, but it is there. And even ZiS barrage You mention is an example of a very cheap ability which can have devastating results. Another muni discrepancy compared to other similar abilities.

Soviets have as much muni expenses as any other faction, the only REALLY muni starved faction is USF, everyone else is on similar level.

It is just your opinion.

And metrics balance team mentioned about win rations prove soviets are weakest faction in game.

Can You specifically point the source of this!

No, it wouldn't, unless you'd want to
a) make them even stronger then they are now
b) make them much cheaper then they are now

That's called balance, but we've already established in this and multiple previous threads that you have no idea about the meaning of this word.

Do you even know shocks stats vs rangers stats in terms of durability per model at vet3?

Are you really serious? Why do you compare two units which will never face each other? Why don't You provide stats Yourself even for this crazy comparison. That is anther problem with balance. One allied faction has an OP unit and some people expect all allied faction to have sth similar instead of nerfing such unit or trying to boost some units in the axis rooster. Just hard to comment past this point.

I don't even want to comment on Your insults. I hope the mod team will finally see that.

Yes, we know, we call these players noobs, because they play team games exclusively, blob everything and have 4 digit ranks. We also have actually good people providing feedback to balance team on communications channels thank RNGod you have no access to.

On the topic of rocket science, I'd rather listen to 1 rocket scientists backed by metrics then 1000 dirty peasants who throw a stick in the air and call it a ballistic missile, screaming ballistic missiles need changes.

Is this really related to shocks in any way???

There is not a single good player who complains about shocks and they were buffed some time ago for a reason.

I needed to write that, I expect you to read and replay to it, but I don't expect you to understand it, so I wont be bothering myself with continuting this with you.

But nobody forces You to do that. You are simply very much Soviet oriented forum member imo.

You want to make a point?
Provide gameplay replays, valid tests results, stat based argument.
If you can't, do the only sane thing and drop the subject before you ridicule yourself further.

The only one ridiculing here is You. You don't provide anything Yourself. Please at least provide the source of the news that Soviets are the worst faction in game.
