This game wasn't and never will be competitive. So, if you insist in balancing it for the 100 guys in the top of the ladder, then only those 100 guys will be the ones playing and having fun.
This game is unforgiving and hard to grasp for the average player. Being OKW a terrible faction to play against, specially in teamgames.
Obers and volks+schreck blobs are an issue for most allied players, and personally I hate the stupid survivality that Puma has, making it a pain to destroy one if it's well microed.
I don't care if for high level players the game is well balanced if the number of average players decrease instead.
Let me help you there. I highly doubt if most high level players- or experienced Observers who consider the game - think it is balanced.
BTW - do not consider this a crit of the Dev Balance team, OK? But when you introduce 2 new armies, the thing becomes a nightmare (IMO) It was always sadly predictable that annexing AA (MP)onto the Eastern Front (MP) would produce a near nightmare scenario, and so it has proved.
People shouting for yet another army to be introduced into this hotchpotch must be delusional.
My 2 cents
