The new demo sure was useless in GCS2 when it got free wipes behind buildings when a squad decided to get inside.....

It currently costs 290/295 fuel to get a T34... ost can get the superior panzer 4 cheaper... true in the right hands the T34 trades better... its still damn expensive

Also do you know it costs more for sov to tech to t4 than for OKW to tech to the flakbase? 190 vs 205/200

Thats ofc skipping sidetechs like at nades and molotovs which pretty much means penal only builds... m3a1 is part of the calculation as sov is fucked earlygame without its pressure

This simply means

1. T2 builds will always spawn the T34 after the P4

2. T1 builds can compete so long as they take both fuels

I forgot to add... it gets more crazy if okw goes for the BG headquarters instead... 170 fuel vs 205/200 fuel...

Ok so just a lot of things wrong here and I'll go through them.

1. Don't factor in m3a1 as a "must have". Not every player does use it and it is built almost NEVER against ost.

2. Soviets start with 20F, T1 takes 10 and T2 takes 20. So I don't know why you have a varied fuel option that is the difference of only 5, when it should be 10.

3. Given you go T1 which is rather potent right now and don't go m3a1 because you're against OST you get this equation for a T34 rush: 10F+85F+90F+90F-20F = 255F. No clue how you got to 290/295 with just an m3a1 added which is 15.

4. OST fast tech using T1 to p4 you get this equation: 10F+40F+90F+15F+120F-20F = 255F. The exact same as soviets without going T2 for a pak gun or 251. So the notion that the P4 comes for "cheaper" is wrong.

5. OKW fast tech using T1 to P4 you get this equation: 15F+25F+15F+120F+140F-5F= 310F WITHOUT MEDICS.

Want to just factor in the buildings/tech?
Sov going T1: 10F+85F+90F-20 = 165F
Ost going T1: 10F+40F+90F+15F-20F = 145F
OKW going T1: 15F+25F+15F+120F-5F = 170F

The only real disadvantage you'll have in a theoredical stalemate as soviets is when the 1st tank hits the field, and when you max out at popcap given you have equal number of tanks. Every tank after the 1st one as soviets will arrive sooner than any counterparts 2nd armor piece.

So yeah, in conclusion teching is fine in the fuel department so long as we ignore the massive holes in faction design.

A lot of the problems in OP are inconsistant from 1v1. For example the T34/76 is a great tank.

A lot of the problems mentioned are either overshadowed by other units or just cheesey. Not really any way to around that except to redesign units. Guards won't go away so long as their stats are not straight up nerfed to dust since they can trade with elites, are 6 men, and can engage anything. The B4 is inconsistant, but if it wipes anything is immediatly has its value. 1 shot things should be removed from the game. An idea is to make it similar to the sturmtiger in the rework patch.

@Felinewolfie I'd like mirror stats for factions, or at least balanced concepts. Others do not.

I'd hardly call Dane a pro, hes a uber axis bias player that cries foul whenever his opponent bests him, usually not blaming himself or saying his opponent beat him. Say something like "The old OKW KT win button was broken and deserved to be nerfed." and he delivers you a perma ban.

How dare you insult the old the KT!!!111!!!1! USF FANBOI!!!!111!!

If we're on the topic of GCS2 games and winrates, when I watched that tourney I saw every faction that wasn't UKF in there making wins, comebacks, throws, and losses. UKF never saw play. USF on the other hand most definatly had their moments where they were strong and were pushing wins.
