I can add to this list little bug which is anoying, but not that really game breaking. I mean, I can't set up KV-2 into artillery mode with shift key (to move and set up in requested position).

I would love to see that getting fixed. It can affect multiple other units as well. You can queue command for some abilities.



Anyways, it is great watching this thread grow.

It is not an official patch itself.

Partially true. It isn't.

But once finalized, most changes will be directly incorporated. There won't be any standalone patch fully developed by relic themselves, the WBP is all they can afford at this moment.


But let's not get caught in semantics.

Damn, time flies. We've got 30 days left till the first iteration of the WBP goes live. There needs to be a lot more tweaking to address the milestones outlined by relic.

• Light Tanks/Vehicles

While the AEC, Puma, Luchs and 222 are somewhat balanced, the Stuart and T70 remain powerful. Perhaps still too powerful to be considered 'light 'tanks'. I find the T70 to be the bigger offender here, with its high rate of fire and mobility, and now its as durable as any other light tank. The Stuart doesn\t wipe infantry with its splash damage anymore, but given the high utility of the light tank, the LMGs need some further nerf.

And I am looking for one single logical argument as why small arms must be able to penetrate and soft counter the Puma and 222.

• Squad Formations

New Squad Formations shouldn't affect the soviets, as they are durable enough and should remain considerably more vulnerable to HE/Arty units.

• Clumping

Same as above.

• USF Mortar

The problem with this unit is a design issue, balancing the stats won't resolve that. The proposed changes in the WBP are too trivial anyway.

• Penals Guards

Guards are fine. Penals lost some AI, while gaining too much utility and outshadowing cons.

• Wehrmacht Infantry Scaling

Well where to begin with.

• ASSAULT GRENADIERS They are a high impact, hard hitting starter unit. What minimal received accuracy they get in exchange after reaching veterancy is irrelevant. For mid game and late game we have panzergrenadiers. Removing the armor value from the squad leader is a nerf. I am curios to know the reasoning behind this, aside from nerfing the Mechanized Assault Doctrine.
  
  
• PANZERGRENADIERS They are OK. They have been OK for a long time now.
  
  
• GRENADIERS Reinforcement cost untouched
  
  
• STORMTROOPERS Their stock rifles need to be better, a lot better. Their upgrade costs are expensive and with the camouflage nerfs, they are going to be at an even weaker position.
  
  
• OSTRUPPEN Should be able to dig their holes inside neutral/enemy territory.
  
  
• PIONEERS They need faster repair speed and more utility, as stressed by the community.
  
  
• SNIPER The biggest loser from the camouflage changes. It needs unique veterancy bonuses.
  
  

That is all I can think of for now. And for out of scope changes, there is this thread brought up by Frost.

So USF was theleast played faction yet had the highest winrate.

while

Whermacht was the most played faction with the lowest winrate? Correct me if I am wrong.


Was this because of the callin meta(pershing, callie, m10)? I haven't watched any of the games.

It's pretty simple. There are two queues: Ready-to-use and Curated.

If you want your skin to potentially be curated, you add it to the curation queue where everyone can vote on them, and it provides Relic with the necessary files to potentially include them in the game officially.

For some reason though, a lot of people only put their skins in the Ready-to-use queue (for use in custom games only), and that's all of the links you've provided. If there are legal issues with the textures they've used, that might explain it, but for the most part it seems a shame they haven't added them to both queues.

It might be because Relic have never selected curated skins that weren't part of a tournament before, but now that appears to have finally changed, people might be more interested in adding their skins to the queue.

Thanks for the explanation.
