I haven't played since sometime last year. With the expansion out, I'd considered coming back and giving the game another shot. Can someone briefly explain the meta changes to the game since then? Here was the state of things right as I quit:
-Weapon teams were nerfed to take much more damage from standard fire to counter the stupid MG42 spam
-A new round of cheesy P2W commanders had just been released... I specifically remember the Soviet industry commander that was allowing for 6 minute T34s or something like that.
-Clown car snipers were cheesing it up in most Soviet builds.
-Everyone complained about the LOS and range of the SU-85.
-Tiger Ace had just come out and was pretty OP.
There were a few other minor things... I think they were working on penals to make them actually viable and most Soviet builds involved guard squads. Has the meta improved? Is it worth returning?
I can safely say all of this is in the past now. The game is generally more balanced now you do get the occasional unit that seems OP but I think RNG plays a role there.
To me it is constantly getting better.
