This is great news

Looking forward to the improved forum moderation!

Also, good luck to everyone that applies to be a mod.

As amusing as I find McFarland's detective work to be (given Cannonade's consistent hostile behavior towards me) I must echo sheepeh's sentiment.

Back off.

This thread has been derailed enough (admittedly I played a role in that). I will personally make sure that any further posts directed at this off-topic discussion will be reported to admins of the site.

And if I screw up and make another off-topic post in this thread... well you guys can have a field day spam reporting me to the admins

Back on topic please.

For those that are approaching this discussion about Soviet Weapon Teams with the assumption that the weapons themselves (the stats of the actual Maxim/Mortar/ZiS) are asymmetrically balanced - without factoring in the squad size...

So yes, as I've claimed in the past, the squad size WAS/IS indeed a concrete factor in determining the performance of the actual weapons that Soviet teams yield.

If Relic was to reduce the squad size, which I maybe... maybe... could see being good in the long-run, they'll absolutely have to improve the performance to compensate. This would require a pretty large overhaul, and a lot of testing - I think there are bigger fish to fry at the moment.b

The poll agrees that US is strongest in 1v1, by a significant margin of votes.

Of total 170+ voters, 94-97% disagree with Ciez's clear statement in this thread that Ost is strongest in 1v1, and infact vote Ost as the weakest, which is the polar opposite of the claim he made here (which though it is irrelevant to the thread, he did infact make anyways).

Anyways, I agree its not relevant to thread, except to point out the almost complete disagreement of community vote with Ciez's statement, as shown by a very valid poll. He expressed his opinion, and I answered it with the poll results. There is really nothing more or less to it.

Take from that what you will

Lets return to discussing US balance, as is the purpose of the thread, and incidentally the poll agrees with US being the strongest in 1v1, so that was relevant.

First of all, I have more than sufficient evidence to support my personal belief that you are in fact Nullist. This includes, but is not limited to the following:

1 - You both have the same cadence/tone in your posts.

2 - Your undying/relentless/pointless/unprovoked trolling of nearly every one of my posts - I seriously cannot recall a single time in which you've had anything constructive to say with regard to something I've said.

3 - Your IP address is close enough to his to reveal that you both use the same ISP, and are more than likely in the same geographic location.

4 - You both use the word "efficacy" like it is going out of style - I've never seen/heard anyone else use that word.

5 - Your argument about Soviet weapon team durability is basically his copy/pasted, despite it being one of the weakest/most flawed/most ignorant arguments that I've ever witnessed in my life.

Clear enough yet?

Second of all, I made my statement about Ostheer being the strongest 1v1 faction, currently, because it was a direct reply to the OP, in which he stated: "Wermaht is the weakest faction crippled by its over priced tech system." So despite your, failed, attempt to try and claim that my post was off topic. It was, absolutely and irrefutably, directed at the OP. It is completely relevant to the thread. Sorry.

Third, my claim is rooted in countless hours of 1v1 and team-game play with and against the best players that this community has to offer (would love to see your playercard bud). Yours is grounded in a three week old, opinion based, poll of the general community. Further, there have been multiple patches since the date of that poll being held - including numerous, very significant nerfs to the USF. Sure, USF probably had an advantage over Ost back then - especially with how absolutely ridiculous the M15 was - but your poll is completely irrelevant to my statement (and to this thread entirely) - which was strictly pertaining to the current state of the live game at the time of posting. Not a month ago.


Finally, I'm going to ask you officially to just leave me alone. As I stated before, I cannot think of a single time that you've posted anything constructive in response to one of my posts. My personal opinion (based on the summation of my experiences with you) is that you're an insufferable troll, but maybe we just simply don't see eye-to-eye on anything - in which case it is better for everyone if we just ignore each other. So please, as of this moment, just ignore me and I'll ignore you. Simple, right? I'm sure you'll quote this post in, yet another, pathetic attempt to get in a jab at me - because you're that kind of petulant man-child. Don't expect any further responses from me, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the community sees you for what you really are, you're not as transparent as you seem to think you are. Find something better to do with your life.

P.S. - ROFL at you trying to claim that you were part of Relic's beta (in one of your more recent stabs directed towards me) when you were, self-admittedly, not. (Thanks McFarland)

"For me, the single and only exposure I have had to the release, has been from this site, the ingame splash screens, and a single entry on the biblical IGN PC "Games to be released soon" listing. Thats it."

Not to mention the fact that I'm one of the moderators of the beta...

I'd like to see Relic focus fully on balance/bug fixes for the time being. WFA has the potential to be even better than vCOH 2 was, but right now there are so many game-breaking units/abilities (Obers, Katy, M15 AA, Easy8, USF 30cals blah blah)

While I certainly would LOVE spectator mode, I think the game needs to be a bit more balanced and more or less bug-free first.

Once balance gets sorted out:

1 - Spectator mode - this will really help Ami/Ipkai/Rogers and others produce top notch content for the community which will, hopefully, bring in new players.

2 - Crafting/trading system - the war spoils system has a lot of potential, but we need a way to get rid of the stuff we don't want/duplicates and turn it into what we want, this way every drop would feel meaningful in some way.

3 - Bulletin Overhaul - I'd love to see some sort of trade-off with bulletins where they become really important. (Ex: Your MGs have 20% increased suppression but your Grens deal 20% less damage) [don't judge this on numbers, just the concept of trade-offs]
