This guide will need another big update soon. 
I hope that means that a veterancy overhaul will finally take place. |
Really, from when are these changes? I checked the most recent changelog page that dates back to 2018 and nothing of this is on there.
Do you really want to argue that something that happened over 2-3 years ago is the reason we see a drastic change of meta just "now"? That does not make any sense.
When one keep buffing unit to make them more attractive all is needed is change in meta to make this unit used.
In this case for instance Super heavies become the dominant meta and there was no reason to use commander without super heavies or delay them in anyway.
Making skipping T1 more viable did not create the problem only brought it to the surface.
If these strats/units were so OP, players would likely have discovered them ages ago.
Tell that to Dshk.
But to be honest, let's go back to topic. Elchino made a high quality post and put a lot of effort into it. It's worth discussing that one. If you want another WC2020 thread, open that one instead.
If I wanted a WC2020 thread I would make one, I am simply responding to your questions. |

Going back to the suggestion in thread:
4 PTRS is mistake it completely shuts down light vehicle especially since the weapon is extremely effective in transports. It also too good vs mediums.
The idea that soviet need both a AI semi elite infatry this early and one of best AT squad stock is also flawed especially since the have access to the doctrinal units.
If one want soviet to become like ostheer in stock unit one would have to also change the commander abilities and reduce the number of doctrinal units available to faction. Or make Ostheer like Soviet and increase access to doctrinal units while increasing their power level to Soviet standards. |
The WC51 and 222 have not seen major changes since ages? At least I can't remember and also could not find anything relevant in the change log when searching for WC51, dodge and 222. 222 once got a very minor buff to MG penetration for standardization purposes.
The driver behind this meta does not come from LVs, but from infantry.
222 become build able instead of upgrade. The old mu upgrade was bad but removing 221 was a mistake. 222 could become an upgrade cost manpower/fuel or separate vehicle. Then i could be delay and 221 could be a soft counter to micro light and hard counter to sniper. In addition 222 followed the rest of light vehicles and received a buff to accuracy via veterancy in every vet level.
WC51 received several buff mostly during DBP (if I remember correctly). |
...
I think that is more due to Osttruppen strat being so effective at the moment and USF dodge truck strat being one of the very few ways to counter the early game pressure.
That is a result of many factors but primarily that increase of power level of light vehicles because their window of opportunity has become smaller. |
QoL Change:
Can we make the icons for the Sherman HE and AP rounds more distinctive? I'm constantly having to check the tooltip to see which ammo I currently have selected.
Talking with some other USF players, this seems to be a common problem.
I agree. I would also change the text to be more clear for most toggle abilities something like:
Currently using AP rounds press for switching to HE rounds |
I guess you are talking about light vehicles/tanks, cause then... how do you plan on reshuffling the cost of OH, USF, UKF and OKW?
One can start by simply returning Ostheer tech cost to what it was and work form there.
Specially without making back teching impossible for 2 factions (USF/OKW).
These faction where designed without back teching. If one want them to have back teching one will have to tone down their unit as it constantly begin done with pack howizter. Removing a "design" weakness without removing a "design" strength simply does not work.
You CAN increase build/research times if your ideal is for specific tech to arrive at a specific point in time, but it seems that the balance team is fine with the timing of the AEC, M20, Stuart, AAHT, Flak HT, P2, Puma, 222, FHT.
Yet the early face game has become about light vehicles instead of infatry. Will all saw the WC2020 being about WC51 and 222 which is not healthy.
Their rush timing (mostly fuel) hasn't changed since release, what has changed is how easier is to back tech.
I do not think that this very accurate many unit had their cost tech cost and/or price and/or power level increased.
I'm saying if we nerf the T70 to be equal to the P2 (more sustained DPS rather than bursty), that there should be no reason to gatekeep T3 and hinder both the M5 and Su76 timing.
Or one could T70 equal to P2 and delay the P2 to similar time frame as T-70... |
Can the Recon Sweep from the Assault Officer ACTUALLY go directly over the officer's head instead of a sliiiiiight counter-clockwise off direction sweep? makes aiming recon deep in enemy territory REALLY HARD, which is bad for 50 mun.
I think the problem is the Loiter radius. its currently 15, try setting it to 0.
Also, the British airplane sweep is WEIRD, the plane flys at 50 height instead of ~20 of other recon planes.
Was it not fixed here?:
"Fixed an issue where the Officer Recon Sweeps for the British were invulnerable and had no entity." |
|
Half the problem started because units become available earlier making more units available earlier is simply not the solution. |
Math error my bad.
No problem it happens
Doesn't change the point at all
Well it sort of does. RW has sorter range than ATG and need more time to fire the first shot than other ATG. RW is simply less forgiving than other ATGs when it comes to first shot.
