What's UKF alternative to tommies again? How often do you play with it and how are the results?

Then you agree with volks having to be OP by necessity, since there are no other early alternatives.

SU have penals.
OST have pgren
USF have let and cpt.

I dont really like volks nor IS being OP

With CODGUY logic we should buff panthers, because they are the only good combat tank you get as axis, unless you go a few doctrines that give you Elephant or Jagtiger...

And i wasnt being serious

Not when most of the games come before the latest patch...

I already support changing the Pak Howy, sorry to burst your bubble. I just don't agree the win-rates have anything to do with it, because they don't. We're talking about 1 unit on 1 faction, not the interaction of all 5. Stop the silliness

You actually do agree that win rates have to do with it (Pak howies), since no one said such things. no one brought up that point before. And How relevant pak howies are to usf winrates.
Even though, anyone else would know winrate is a complex combination of factors. You just pointed out the least convenient for your argument.

A constant state of denial of real facts is very bad for a healthy game balance.

And a single patch would turn upside down the statistics? I would be very skeptical about it. New Pgrens did help OST openings, but Pak Howie, jacksons, scotts and other are still overperfing in the game, resulting in those solid 5% extra winrate.

At least try to explain what any of this has to do with the pak howitzer?

Not only are you putting way too much reliance on the data (2-5% advantage apparently equals "dominance" in your world) but what could you possibly deduce from those graphs that would tell you what to do about the pak Howy? Not surprising you avoided that question...

I answered your question, mr i read nothing.

Pak howie does overperform vs ost team weapons, same as the last point i made.
Want more proof?

Oh wait, you ignored it.

and 2-5% over 5k games is worth something. you know...
and it get steeper on high skill games. but its not your case.

Go read the person I quoted and tell me if that's a "careful reading of statistics". He looked at the one graph that doesn't even break down the percentages by rank and said that faction was the strongest

Nevermind that the difference in percentage was tiny, nevermind that different factions have better winrates at different ranks, nevermind that there's 3 other game-types to consider

Well, doomlord posted the link to the statistics, so anyone can read it and understand what they are able of them. Nothing wrong about it. There is not a single word other than the link header.
It is though a wrong assumption of you to think that strongest means "USF always win", because the sentence can be perfectly read as "USF has dominance over all other factions by a 5-2% margin. You dont need to see a whopping 80% to say a faction is the strongest.

It also shows that USF has dominance in all gamemodes, except 2v2 becasue of OKW+OKW, but apart of that only case, from random teammates, to party matches, from 1v1 all to 4v4s, in all USF dominates winrates over Axis and over its allied counterparts too. In 4v4s all allied factions performed better than axis.

Its not valuable balance information if you ignore most of the post and pick the graph that supports your argument. It's certainly not important info to a conversation about how to balance just the pak Howy

But it is valuable information what a single graph can show, but to understand graphs you must first know what are they showing, and understand how it relates to the others. At best you can conclude that on specific maps, USF had 50% winrate, dead even vs OKW, but on the rest of maps the advantage margin could even rise over 55%. That simple fact shows that USF is the strongest faction, since no other axis faction can have as high as USF winrates.

At least tell everyone that you understood the graph to prove the guy wrong...

As i have shown, the collection of graphs shows an even worse picture for USF, so i would stay quiet instead of accusing others of cherrypicking.

1v1 wise, you can read the winrate vs skill level + games played vs skill level and you can easily see that from above the median axis faction have lower winrate compared to allied average. An average of allied of 55+% and an average of axis of 52% and coupled with the amount of games played, USF is picked as often as SU and OST is picked more than OKW. It clearly shows that the winrate % is cause due the USFvsOST component. That every single one on this forum were talking about. Stats meet reality.
