The recent survey by Kyle regarding the balance issues seems like they are getting back on the track, though step by step and slowly.

Just like in real life
I am sorry Romeo for applying your face to a blatantly racist joke.

Heh cool. I haven't gotten any of the expansion stuff yet. I want "Far Island" (not too interested in the rest of the stuff) but I'm waiting for a Steam sale.

The second picture of pigsoup's guy looks like some sort of silly meme thing waiting to happen. Something about the mouth seems funny.

If you're an Axis fan- stay way from this game. It's fucking mess.

The biggest change is Katitof being banned.

Early game: OKW advantage with Sturmpioniere and Kübelwagen abuse. This applies for the first two minutes. Then it shifts into Soviet superiority due to godly Penals or Maxim + mortar spam. Against US it turns into rifles + mortars. Then you are outclassed. Versus Brits I would say the early game is still balanced.

Ostheer can forget competing. It´s all about Sniper abuse into 222s asap and finish the game there. Lose a Sniper or too many 222s and you are done. One mistake will cost you dearly.

Mid game: You are horribly outclassed as Axis (both OKW and Ostheer). Early vehicles such as the Stuart, T-70 and AEC dominate. The Cromwell outperforms any Panzer IV by performance and price. Ostwind is crap and the infantry game turns against you since double Brens, double Bars or double DPs on vet Guards become present.

Lategame: You are stuck with a Panther that doesn´t perform. Especially the Ostheer Panther is a joke on tracks. You get outperformed by any TD or even Cromwells for cost. The Comet adds insult to injury being essentially a more mobile Tiger tank. German heavies can´t deflect shots. If a Brit is involved you lost the game here essentially. Ostheer is fucked. For OKW it has turned into KT every game + Raketenwerfer spam.

To keep it short: As Axis you lose the infantry-, artillery- and tankgame. The only hope is to finish the game early on with cheese strats such as fast Sniper into 222s or Raketenwerfer + Luchs.

As much as all the whiny wehraboos like to bemoan the state of the game, I usually lose to better players and beat worse ones.

If you enjoy being under constant barrages from Su76 blobs, Hm38, USF 81mm, Mortar pit and the Pack Horitzer and being left with no inf or team weapon of your own, as well as having your heaviest vehicles getting always penetrated by literally anything then you might want to give axis another try again. Not to mention generalist "light" vehicles which have greater wiping potential than both the Ostwind and PIV combined.
Otherwise either wait for CoH3 or move to another, greener pastures.

NECRO! to give my view after 96 hrs of playing and a few months of respite from the game.

As some of you might know, I was an avid fanboy until the game came out and very soon after. when my coh2 buddy said "nice fallout 3.5" to a fallout4 screenshot, i cursed him and vowed to take revenge.

however, i recently came across an article in PCGamer r Polygon with news about fo4 and it had a fo4 highlight banner. For a moment, i thought it was a screenshot of fo3.

that is how i feel and have been feeling since 2 months ago after i beat the game. For the record, I played fo3 story four times consecutively and clocked 250 hours before I stopped playing regularly.

I knew that it could never be as great as how fo3 was to me because the shear WOW value of post apocalyptic worlds have been done so many times in the games and movies since.

But I hoped that improved gunplay, crafting, settlement, graphic, etc etc would be enough to hook me into fo4 as much as fo3's world did to me.

But it was not enough. Not only that was not enough, NOT IMPROVED perk/level system, engine, AI, character dialogue, mission structures, storyline did not help. for example, in this supposed to be an end game battle, only a handful of allies fight a handful of enemies at a time... for real? another thing that bothered me from fo3 was how all flying beings had invisible legs. to get to top of the stairs, they had to climb the stairs like humans. and guess what, that is still the case.

overall, still worth the full retail price and skipping class to play 12 hr marathon on day 1 was worth it. but its just not good enough.

8/10.

While I was reminiscing about my brave storms in another thread, I mentioned the Vire River map. And seeing as I'm waffling, I thought I might as well mention here why some people like maps like Vire, and like Scheldt. Because people still shake their head in wonderment about Scheldt being popular.

The thing is that if you are not a high APM player, you approach the game in a very different way. It's valuable to you to have a few powerful chokes, because you're not going to win by micro-ing your units, you're going to win - or lose - by build choices, by timing, and by coordination with your team mates. If you win band selecting all your units and A-moving them, that is a perfect valid victory, because it means that you produced the right composition of units, you correctly predicted how the unit AI would path and target select, and you had chosen the right moment to commit to battle: either because you and your allies were confident and ready to go, or because something else happened on the battlefield that opened an opportunity.

That isn't how most of the people here play, but it is a fun and perfectly legitimate way to play, and for that reason, choke-point maps will probably always have sufficient popularity to justify keeping them in rotation.
