Where is the "who gives a fuck" option?

Seriously. Anything above 2v2 the balance is a joke.

Yes.

Most observant.

Hence the existence of this thread.

To address the situation and work towards fixing it.

Its problem with ability, not design.

Infantry should not be immune to abilities just because they in base sector, it bad design which limits strategic possibilities.

However, some abilities are too cheap for how efficient they are and on top of that too easy to use, V-1 coh1 rocket disguised as stuka dive bomb with recent AoE buff is bright example of such ability.

Easiest solution? Shared cd for recon plane/stuka dive bomb and recon plane/il2 bomb drop will prevent 2-click mass retreat wipes.

Thats not a bad idea in some ways. Being able to only have one plane up in the air could be a novel solution (in 1v1 at least) but as everyone else mentioned no off map should be used in the base sector.

That someone used it in the ESL tournament is pretty unsporting but I guess thats what being 'pro' is all about.

All ostheer tanks do 160 damage, same as allied. No ostheer tank gets 60 range, all allied factions have non doc 60 range TD. Axis tanks cost more, yet its OP that they perform for their price. LOL.

Also NEVEC you are a joke. L2P.

I think you have quoted the wrong person? Your point bares no relevance to my statement.

We are talking about TWP. I state that allied tanks must use their mobility(?) to flank axis tanks to negate their advantage in armour (important) and penetration values (also important). TWP is overkill, it would be the same as giving volks fausts while they still have shreks. If you take away an allied tanks mobility it is a dead tank as it doesn't have the health/armour to withstand much punishment.

If a sherman (example tank) drives over mines I didn't clear or gets damaged and fausted then I was outplayed. Having something with the range of a ATG able to immobilise a tank so easily doesn't really offer much in the way of counter play. Sure, in an ideal world the player shouldn't drive within range of an AT gun but if it does happen (and it does) then the damage dealt should be punishment enough, giving you the choice to fall back or push on with all the risks.

But meh, I can see from your previous posts that I shouldn't get my hopes up for anything less than a rehash of L2P.

Right now relic focuses on 1v1 balance (regarding their latest posts about e-sports )


And maybe USSR manage to hold their own because vehicles fear to go close quarter becuase of snades?

The same apply on ostheer.


And this is also why UKF have biggest problems against vehicle rushes.


And dont get me wrong but volks cannot solo any vehicle unless they ambush it or opponent do not kite them.



And please dont make shrecked sturms.


You think it is fine that repair unit that alos lay mines and detect them should have also AT ? They will too much multirole

And dont forget crazy vet5 repair speed whitch will be hit in 10 minutes with shrecks.




It was design and shrecks should be on volks.

Also keep in mind shreck still cost 90 munny while on pgrens only 60 and USA get 3 bars for 2 shrecks.

Thats why people are suggesting replacing the shrek with a snare as one of the alternatives, although if that happened I'd say just ditch shreks for OKW altogether.

Yes, I know Relic balances around 1v1 but it is apparent that that method is unsuitable due to the negative impact it has on all game modes above it.

If they gave shreks to sturmpios (still the most viable option I think) then they SHOULDN'T be given the option of multitasking, let alone worry about it. They get the sweeper or the shrek, not both. With that in mind they differ very little from pios with flamethrowers, they're engineers with added firepower. Not hard to manage:kill tanks, repair tanks and lay mines. Three main functions. Easy.

UKF sappers have to do the same but manage emplacements under fire as well.

As for volks being unable to solo a vehicle? The main issue is that yes they most certainly can. Or perhaps part of the issue is that many of their counters are so lack-luster or tied to doctrines.

I think that when allied tanks are designed around mobility and flanking (except shrek blobs make that more risk than reward these days) an ability which negates that is flawed. The axis tanks deal more damage and are more durable, TWP is overkill.
