4v4 is a joke, agreed. I like 4v4, just wish it was balanced.
Some of your "timings" are off (exaggerated).
I don't understand why people insist that making the game different for different game modes is a good idea. It would be very jarring for things to be different prices/effectiveness, as the game is already loaded with a variety of units/prices. Secondly, I have yet to see an argument as to WHY it would be needed. We go from:
There is a problem -> there is no other way -> make each game mode different.
It should be:
There is a problem -> whats the issue? -> test some changes -> a million other ideas -> final resort, different numbers for diff game modes.
Because trying to balance 4v4 mess would ruin 1v1 completely, that's why. |
Just stepped away from 1v1 / 2v2 and mess around in 4v4, all I could say, it is boring, and it is dreadfully broken.
In such team game, players would have massive resource without struggling, fighting for strategic point would be effortless. The specialist nature of OKW making those game mode are axis-autowin. Each OKW players only required to build one kind of hard countering unit and combine into an invincible combined arms. Crippled resources means nothing there because they do not require to get so much different units to be effective.
At 30 secs mark, Kubel own the opponent fuel/muni points while the others can get their own fuel/muni effortless.
Allies may able to push them away, but they can only grab it back at 2 mins mark.
At 5 mins mark, Puma/Panzer II/Ober/Pak40 can hard counter any M3/M20/M18/every Allies infantry.
At 7 mins mark, Stuka ends Soviet T2 defence.
At 10 mins mark, OKW Panther reach the field.
At 13 mins mark, KT stomp everyone, IS2/ISU can never reach the field, because the battle is over.
While the lone Ostheer can spam cache, spam R/medic bunkers/medic crates/fueldrop/vet, Pak, making OKW even more invincible, then roflroll the Allies with Panthers as their sole fighting units.
Allies, are hopeless there. Once they are forced away, it almost takes 3 mins to reinforce and getting back to the frontline, because the map is too damn BIG. Their weaker ATG, armour can do nothing to that fast Stukas/Panthers. Specialist axis units have very good synergy while the generalist Allies are just meh. Such stuff can never achieved in 1v1/2v2.
Allies strength is steamrolling, retreating wasn't a big deal when the map allows them steamrolling and bleed axis manpower like crazy. They just can't do that in such crazy BIG map. Also, the stupid map design making possible assault route are so easily predictable, just one Kubel/MG42, USF is doomed.
If Relic really want to clean up this mess without making OKW worthless in 1v1, they really need to make the stat different in different game mode, maybe making the units more expensive / weaker in larger game mode. |
Yeah, British trucks could do it.
The game could probably do without it but is it possible to fix in terms of coding?
Yeah, they can do it, can really fast with speed upgrade. |
Go visit Kyoto in mid November, you won't regret it
The best season of Hokkaido is summer, which was already passed. |
USF AT gun is amazing. Yes USF needs buffs but cmon now.
The 70 range and long LOS is truely amazing. |
His vet round is AoE.
Admittedly, it's essentially a small nade, so it's a very slim chance. But it could happen.
OFC I know it is AoE, and it is extremely tiny.
From 2013, June, as a player mostly played as Ostheer, I have NEVER, EVER, experienced that shit can one click squad wipe. |
1. Ostheer Sniper is fine! He has great Abilitys! He can kill a entire Squad with his Abilitys. Russian not.
2. L2P - Whiner. I told it: German Players are the fastest whiners here :-)) And i am a German, lol.
3. Assymetric Balance!
WHAT? |
Ele is the map hacking scope for Jadgtiger. Kappa |
My loadouts are getting deleted on a regular basis. Very annoying.
And, everytime.
Where do you find the old page system of farming non-WFA bulletin? |
