Wehrmacht, usf bugs notwithstanding, is unplayable. Well, very difficult to play. Grenadiers are the worst infantry in the game, ffs cons wreck them as long as you aren't mentally handicapped. Mg42 just gets smoked out, unuseable. Panzergrenadiers come too late to save you from the infantry blob. Their strength is supposed to be in the late game but the Panthers DPS is abhorrent. The tiger gets slammed by comets and the new Su85, even su76 spam shuts down everything short of an elefant. Sure the scout car is cheap, but it's still bad. Pak is a good gun but it can't snipe infantry like the 6 pounder. Even if it could it wouldn't be able to stop the new penals from slapping you in the face. Panzer 4 is good but the Cromwell comes earlier and is the same for cheaper, but is markedly better at anti infantry with its capability to run troops over. The new t34 is better at anti infantry work and is much cheaper while being able to beat a panzer 4 on even terms. Stug spam helps sure but again not versus the bazooka-at rifle grenade blobs.. whatever. Wehrmacht needs help.

I suggest Grenadiers upgraded to a 5 man team, meaning their dps would be increased by .25, and their survivability as well. They would now be able to stand a chance vs Riflemen and tommys. Cons might need to be buffed a bit to compensate.

Maybe switch mg42 and grens in tech, and place panzergrenadiers in t1. That way Wehrmact could stop the steam roller blob a little easier.

Just buff the panther, it shoots too slow to be good. Reload minus half a second. Or moving accuracy to .70 so it could actually use its mobility as a tank hunter.

Increase scout car cost but also its cannons pen slightly so it's more viable as a light vehicle.

If you disagree you're wrong.

Subtle touch with the smile on mech commander's face.

Though Pershing would be OP with Withdraw and refit. Pershing gonna die? Refund pls.

I just got back into company of heroes with two geriatric friends. After a couple of months playing we are now reasonably competitive winning a little less than half the matches we play.

Now we're totally bias, we play exclusively as allies. In fact we each play just one faction and only 2v2 or 3v3. So we have a pretty narrow view of this balance patch.

Being old people we really don't mind losing, we'd rather lose and have a competitive game than win easily. I'd say we're our win/lose ratio is about the same since the balance patch. So what's the issue?

The game is utterly boring now, it's all about trying to control marauding blobs of infantry, because that seems to be the most valid strategy to win. At least at whatever level we're playing at. It sounds like axis players face the same issue which must be equally boring.

Recall piospam back in coh1? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't fixing issue by penalizing pio squads in close proximity to each other.

To me this seems like something that would fix blobbing for both axis and allies and ultimately force players to use a wider variety of units.

The current balance seems to have had the opposite effect, it's just a blob-off. (type of map seems to effect how bad this is) It was like that before the patch, but before the patch we found we could force players to abandon blobbing. Not now.

Where's the hotfix?

Also, what is up with this? I'm not aware of people farming using the cheatmod, if they do then forgive me, but testing for bugs on late-game units in the normal game is anything but efficient. Why would Relic punish players for helping them improve the game? (We all know why but humor me.)
