Always when i play vs sov ind it makes me hit/throw something/someone Hans try to play in beta vs sov ind. They claim its not op anymore but i think still is. Anyway.. Vet1 ability on paks is great but you have to get it there. Besides i find paks pretty useless vs t70s. Maybe they should be more reliable AT like in coh1...

The Pak vet 1 ability always seems to misfire for me whenever I use it. Have you had the same problem?

For the early game scenario Ostheer players have to gamble where to use their munitions. They could risk spending it on a flame-ht and do well at the start against hordes of conscripts but then when the T-70 roles out you have hardly any munitions to counter it. Now you could instead choose to save your munitions for at capabilities however then you do not have the firepower to deal with all the enemy infantry. On the other hand it feels like the soviets do not have the same problem. They are free to spend munitions wherever they like as each investment is not a huge gamble. Take for instance the mine situation. Soviets can plant one 30 muni without a problem, there cheap and 30 munitions isn't a big investment which is easily recovered. Now take the Ostheer Teller mine, you can only plant 2 maximum during the tier 1-tier 2 stage and each one cost's 60 munis. It would take you a while to save up another 60 if you wanted to afford panzershreks or a flame-ht upgrade. Furthermore since it's only one mine it can easily be missed by the T-70.

Honestly if the Ostheer was given the 30 munition mine that the Soviets have currently the current balance would be so much better.

Let me start by saying I have no problem with soviet industry allowing users to be able to construct buildings or produce tanks incredibly fast. The issue here is the Ostheer's impractical arsenal in dealing with lots of light armor which has been highlighted by this new commander. This mainly being the high cost of anything munition related to counter vehicles. E.G 60 muni Tellers and 120 muni shreks. Furthermore the T-70 is currently too good for it's price.

SOLUTION 1: Give the Ostheer the 30 muni mine that the Russian's have so that way the Germans have a mine that can do both damage to tanks and infantry. To make it fair Russian should also be given a heavier mine like the Teller. Furthermore in it's current state I would like to point out that the 80 muni infantry mine field is very unpractical in 1v1s due to it's high cost and long build time. Not to mention the obvious warning signs that stick up at the edge of the field warning Soviet players that there is indeed a mine field here. A better solution to this would be making each square 20 munitions.

SOLUTION 2: Give Panzer Grenadiers the ability to upgrade 1 shrek at a time for either 60-75 munition each. This would enable Ostheer players to invest in a Teller mine as well to counter light vehicles.

SOLUTION 3: Give both sides universal tank traps like in vcoh days.

SOLUTION 4: Give Paks back their old cloaking ability from the vcoh days. This would make it much easier for Ostheer player to set up an ambush.

SOLUTION 5: If the changes to scatter do not make the T-70 more balanced in the next patch I suggest either a mixture or one of the following; increase the reloading time for the T-70, decrease the speed of the T-70, decrease the accuracy of the T-70. I would not suggest increasing the cost of this unit as this would mean seeing less of them during matches and as we know the Russians with their Soviet War Machine were all about quantity rather than the quality.

SOLUTION 6: In TOW the panzer grens from that period where able to upgrade anti-rifles. Why not reintroduce these weapons along side shreks? These weapons would be much cheaper but less powerful.

Constructive feedback appreciated, thanks for reading.

I streamed this game when it came out XD. Here are some of the best bits.

I totally agree with this. Currently there are commanders out there which nobody uses anymore because they are just simply an overlap of current abilities and do not feel in anyway unique. Only the new commanders that have recently come out feel like they are worthy of this title as they each contain abilities that no other commanders contain. E.G Osttruppen Commander, Elite Troops, Urban Defense etc.

Downloaded it just now. Will give it a spin in a bit if anyone else wants to?
