i just skimmed the tac map. those water bodies.. are they impasse or just shallow crossable water?

Some are shallow crossable, while some are impasse. A lot of it is crossable red cover.

You cant simply move the doctrinal t34/85 into the soviet tech tree. You can only wish for a penetration upgrade of sorts.

Why not?

None of the factions should gain additional income from their allies caches. It's impossible to balance a cache in all game modes when it is 4 times as strong in 4v4 as it is in 1v1.

That's silly and please don't derail the thread, among with others.

This thread is about nothing but the two suggestions I pointed out.

Everyone interested in the thread itself, please refer to page one, where some of the longer and more relevant posts are.

You obviously dont play enough OST. OST bleeds MP more than any other faction

And BTW im still right

Considering the majority of my games are as OST, your assumption couldn't be more wrong. You can't close your eyes and ears and scream "I am right" when you are blatantly wrong. Since you seemingly intend to keep doing that, I will stop wasting more posts on you.

Then I'm not fuel starved as OKW in 4v4 ^^ if we follow the logic

No, you aren't, because caches. And less dependance on early game vehicles.

^^

120 soviet T3 is, you start with 50 fuel as Sov...if you are talking about math.

Ost T3 is around 130 fuel, but mostly gets delayed as ostheer struggles with map control.

T-34-85 has more health..keep that in mind. Also being ballsy with the P4 is too risky as soveits have mines; and a T-34-85 likely beats a P4 before it could do any serious damage.

Starting fuel hardly changes the fact that it costs fuel, does it? Not to mention there is a molotov and AT grenade upgrade that Ostheer doesn't need to pay for. And yes T-34/85 is a better tank. It simply isn't better enough to be in a wholly different realm from its counterpart and Panzer IV still has very valid advantages in the form of better veterancy, better supportive abilities and weaker armored opposition generally, while the T-34/76 is flat out terrible and inadequate. It's not the end of the world to have a single Soviet unit better than its counterpart while still keeping distinct advantages and disadvantages. Also, Germans have mines too, and they get even better ones via doctrines.

The t34/85 the Soviet version of the Panther, but one that can also kill infantry reliably. The PIV is already unviable in the current meta, why would you want to make it worse?

I support making soviet non-doc units suck less, but this is taking it a tad to far.

T-34/85 isn't as strong as Panther at all, and it's not much cheaper either. It also doesn't get amazing frontal armor, combat blitz, or Panzer Tactician in some doctrines. Panzer IV is very viable, I am not sure why you think otherwise. In 2v2, it's an amazing tank. You keep throwing around "X is not viable, only Tiger is" when in my experience as Ostheer (which is my main faction, for the record), just about any doctrne has a good degree of usability. It's also obscene that T-34/76 has a doctrinal straight upgrade that completely replaces it. It's not a gun upgrade for the T-34 itself: it's a whole new unit that is the exact same but better in every way. That's bad design and it forces players to pick certain doctrines.

It's not taking it too far, it's just asking for a stock medium tank that is not useless. And getting to 10 CP takes no fuel, this binds T-34/85 to teching and therefore, an additional 120 Fuel expense. What's the problem?
