Solid arguments, but I think I’ll take top players like miragefla, seeking, fire and terror and orangepest agreeing with me over a guy who has never touched high level games.

Don't want to be rude but top players are the likes of Noggano, Luvnest, Asten, Scotch, Isildur etc.

To be honest it seems more like a certain group of people is trying to completely blow the UKF buffs out of proportion because they don't play the faction and want it nerfed.

It's just BS that a 0.05 RA buff and a moving accuracy buff make a weak faction into some sort of unbeatable monster.

Let's not forget before the last IS nerfs IS had 0.8 RA without out of cover penalty and more DPS. Then they got their DPS and RA out of cover nerfed which made the complete faction useless. Now they gave them 0.85 base RA with 0.05 boost in cover to 0.8 and left the DPS nerfed.

UKF is hated so much by certain people in this community that whenever they become playable and as good as Soviets and USF they need to immediately get nerfed to the ground. Meanwhile Soviets rule almost every tournament I can remember watching and that's somehow fine.

Also ridiculous that people complain about IS blobs when Riflemen + other USF infantry do this basically every game since release. Same as OKW. Double standards are real.

Just watch miragefla’s stream from yesterday. Seeking sniped just to show how broken sections are. 1st game was on kholodny ferma where miragefla got destroyed by sections spam, 2nd game on Eindhoven where he got blobbed to death all game long and Ost could not trade well at any stage.

I'd recommend watching the VOD from the last 2v2 balance tournament instead of basing your opinion on balance on a better player blobbing against a worse player. At least then you can see current UKF in competitive games. I am not saying UKF is OP or not but it's strange people just ignore the fact there was a competitive tournament going on with this patch just two weeks ago.

As I pointed out before in the tournament UKF did not look OP at all and quite the contrary was usually carried more by Soviets. I am confused why there is such a fuss about UKF now but no one cared after the balance tournament? And also why did no one notice this during the six months testing period of the patch?

It's weird that no one complained about OP UKF after the last 2v2 test tournament two weeks ago. It was played with the Winter Balance Preview.

Also weird that UKF didn't even do well in that tournament. So is the live version not the same as the Winter Preview in terms of unit performance? I just rewatched the VODs partially and it was generally more Soviets carrying UKF than UKF carrying their teammate. Also there were games where UKF got complelty stomped (like Isildur's UKF doing nothing despite getting carried for 50 minutes by Dzaraa)

Also where were all the "pro" players crying about UKF before the patch was released?

There was no scatter nerf.
However IS-2 got actual nerf in armor and contrary to tigers vet2, nothing was compensated.

Compensated by turret rotation buff at vet2 on top of already low base scatter in comparison to other heavies.

As any other heavy - non issue and most certainly non tiger specific one.

Tiger Nerfs:

- AOE, Scatter at vet2, Panzer Commander, CP

IS Nerfs

- AOE, Armour, CP

But that isn't the issue. The issue is OKW late-game was focused on Tiger because nothing else worked well against Allied meta strats. Meanwhile Soviets can fall back on ISU and KV2. Brits didn't get any of their heavy tanks nerfed, Croc, AVRE, Churchill and Comet (even though premium medium) didn't receive performance nerfs. USF never relied on Pershing too much in 2v2 and have a bunch of other stuff to crutch on like Bar Blobs, Pak Howitzer, Scott/Calliope + Jackson spam.

OKW didn't even get to 50% WR with Grand Offensive in the last tournament. They will be worse now, especially with UKF buffs because UKF was always the hardest match-up for OKW (talking mostly about 2v2).

Valentine is a non-issue. It works as a last chance type of vehicle when you don't have the fuel for T3 but that's about it.
