Here's a harsh dose of reality for all of you:
SUPERTANKS ARE ALL OVERPOWERED
ISU, Elefant was for all of vCOH2, Tiger Ace (probably the biggest joke in the game's history)
You can all keep deluding yourself with your obvious faction biases, but the King Tiger and Jagd from COH1 were all scrub weapons that threw the entire game's balance out of the window. They allowed any idiot to pull a win out of their ass. Tiger 1 and Pershing were fine - strong, but not absurd.
This game is not Command and Conquer. Superweapons/units have no place in this game in my opinion, so if you don't like it for soviets, keep in mind the fact that the Germans have more of them.
You know it's true, so stop pretending like one side is magically more noble than the other. Everyone has had their shit instagibbed by a ridiculous tank or unit. I swear to god the delusion is amazing. It just stops all intelligent discussion, it's like american politics ffs.
1) This isn't COH1.
2) Tiger Ace has been nerfed. At least it doesn't instagib infantry. And for what it's worth, I never bought the commander because I still find it game breaking.
2) The elefant and the JT counter tanks only, unlike the ISU which 3-4 shots Panthers AND instagibs infantry. |
Saw Siberian do it on stream and it made my blood boil. Here are 2 Axis players who actually put an effort into outplaying their opponent and ISU's come along and wipe everything. I've had it done to me several times in 2v2s, and it's infuriating how complete noobs turn games in their favor by abusing a ridiculous unit. I hope Relic is considering a nerf to this abomination.
As for Sib, I might add that its kinda sad to see players of his calibre resort to this sort of cheap stuff to troll random people.

This is a brilliant idea.
I like the idea of swapping the t70 and su76, but I'd rather relic just buff the 76. Moving it to t3 with its current level of performance won't magically cause people to start building it.
People might not build the SU76 but at least the T70 will have some use; It will give T4 an AI punch and we will start seeing it more often. Right now there's no point of making it since you can get a T-34/76 for 30 more fuel which serves as AT as well as AI. |
Separate RT and AT queue.
That'll only serve to make game search times unbearably long. Besides, people searching as AT are matched with RT of higher skill to compensate. |

I agree that the maps are making it difficult to play as Ostheer. Last few games as Ostheer I can tell I'm outplaying my opponent but due to map imbalance I easily get flanked by Rifles. One successful flank and it's a steep climb to secure a decent amount of territory again.
I don't even know why Stalingrad is in the rotation again, it's the shittiest map in all of COH2.
LaGelz and even Faymonville are heavily US favored because of buildings and several avenues for flanks. I used to veto Kharkov, Minsk and LaGlez but thanks to Stalingrad being back I have to contend with 2 Allied favored maps (LaGlez and Faymoville). |

What do you want Relic to do? |
Honestly, I have a bad losing streak atm too. I almost lost every game of the last 30 I played but...
LOL.  |

Agreed, the unit is underperforming for its cost. |
Well, you need to work on your experience then because:
Faust is strongest of all engine damage abilities with exactly the same cost and range as all others, yet it have superior penetration and is used against inferior armor.
They scale exactly just as good because of LMGs and high accuracy, which makes them deadly AI squad for mere 240mp.
They are not shock troops.
They are not meant to be used as shock troops.
They have much more effective range then shock troops.
We had single shreck in beta, it was batshit OP.
So 3x43(129) is more then 5x32(160). Ok.
Meh, probably.
In this case, elephant one shots everything.
Blitz, bunkers, LMG upgrade, snipers and MGs and T2 reinforcing vehicles should be for all factions, not only wehr. What is so special about them?
(asymetrical balance)
Its a scout car, not a scout tank. AT nade takes 50% of its HP, because its a car, not a tank.
P4 beats 100% of armor of its tier.
AT weapons are good against tanks. Don't send lone tanks against massed AT weapons, doesn't matter how big the tank is.
Give one single logical reason that would be healthy for balanace and wouldn't result in +30-40fuel cost for them?
Wehr T3 is about as expensive as soviet one. Wehr T4 is more expensive, because its more powerful.
LOL
So vet2 rifles at 3 min is imba, but vet3 grens right out of the bat are balanced?
Lightning war.
Spearhead.
Elite troops.
Joined operations.
Mechanized Assault.
Luftwaffe supply.
Pick one.
Well written and I agree with almost everything.
PGs in cover are still pretty good. Though I reckon they could do with a slight armor/health buff? You can't just use them like you used to before March Deployment i.e. charge across the open. Keep them in cover and deal good damage.
However the OPs complaint against Easy 8s is justified. The tank is too good for its cost. It needs adjustment. |

I can vouch for 2. It happened to me as well. My Luchs turrent stopped firing at enemies in range and the attack ground/move button was no longer there.
