Because of these latests balances and patches, it is clear that Axis, and specially Ostheer, needed some kind of love and buffs (or nerf in Allies). For the last 2 years at least many allyfan boys tilted the other players as whinners. Its OK. Time has proved us right.
But these changes are not enough for Ost, because they continue to loose too many tank matches, speacilly against USF and UKF.
P4 and P5 need some kind of increase damage, or increase penetration, or decrease in rof.
My humble suggestions are:
P4: increase 10% damage, increase pen in 10%.
Panther: decrease 10% ROF, increase 10% damage.
I would disagree buffs are required for Ostheer following recent patch. Objective overview of wins (http://coh2chart.com/) shows things are reasonably balanced. Ostheer actually with most wins per faction this week in all ranks. What more do you want?
Please see below link for confirmation of above. Cheers
