It's just make this ability worthless. How about make the same treatment for german Blitz? To have "counterplay" from SU side. Because panther with blitz can easily outplay every SU armor (and if you have tactician smoke situation become ever better). This only one ability in entire game that have such cruel rules to use - immobilize, gun crit, engine overheat when missed.
While i think this ability could be replaced by somehing more usefull, because this is just gift from "old times" when t-34 was trash and only were good for ramming.
Snare. Button. Literally any mine. If you can't counterplay Blitz, there is a problem.
I'm not even sure who is memeing and who is not at this point and I sincerely hope that nobody seriously think that this tournament shown that 5 man gren are OP just because it was the ONLY WAY for Ostheer to win.
Not to mention that's not even what happened. German Infantry didn't win even once in either the Finals or 3rd Place Match.
Oh yeah, just watch how every single game prior to finals is now irrelevant and not indicative of anything, literally nothing exists, just the finals, everything was just a mass cocaine trip.
Not sure what you're yelling about. I just said this thread will be lively in the next few days.
The balance imo, is mostly fine at the moment. In a vacuum, Brits, Soviets, USF and Ost are well balanced.
The problem is when you start combining them, especially in the case of Soviets/Brits. The power spike of both factions complement each other to perfection. As Axis, you're catching up from the first moment.
The UC is an absolute stupid unit, that if well microed, is incredibly hard to counter. Even if you rush the 222 to kill it, you'll have about 30 seconds before the AEC shuts down any light vehicle play. That forces the OKW player to get a Puma, but if you can't kill the AEC, the Brit player is more likely than not to call in a Valentine. If you then add the T70 to the mix, you're already very hard pressed to find counters. Especially considering the state of Grens and Volks compared to Allied main lines (all of which have been buffed in recent patches to make them compete with Volks. And please don't bring up Gren buffs, they were superficial at best).
There's other problems too. Both Axis and Allies have cheese units, but I think Allies have an easier time countering Axis cheese, than Axis do Allies. For example, the only way to counter an ISU is with an Elefant. And while the Elefant is strong, it is countered by any doctrine that has IL2 bombing or rocket strike. I don't even have to mention Perimeter Overwatch.
Finally, there's some issues that just weren't addressed at any point. OKW was crutching on CPanther or Tiger for years now. Now that both are nerfed, the wheels have come off. And as mentioned above, all Allied infantry has been buffed to compete with Volks - leaving Grens in the shit spot they're in right now.
