No, it was 0.75 damage. So was the obersoldaten smoke damage over time nade. They both got moved up to 1.0 damage. So while their change was smaller, they still got buffed.

So please don't tell me that this grenade was .75

Hell, I even suggested that buff to Relic because every single Infiltration grenade effectively dealt MORE damage than the Volksgrenadier Stielhandgranate (bigger AoE, same damage), which was just ridiculous. This way you do not need a flamethrower early as both factions, as grenades once again are actually useful at clearing buildings.

MG42 is exactly the same. 0 changes in the file.

Thank you for finally explaining the reasoning for duplicates. As Spam.r33k wrote, I think a lot of this outrage could've been prevented if you had published it earlier. I know it's too late now and to dwell on the past is bad, but let me summarize the problem again so you might try to prevent it in the future.

• You release a system that is itself sound and good, offering the community DLC content for free - though at random. No explanation about the system is released when it activates.
  
• People are unsure what gamemodes reward War Spoils
  
• People play and notice they get duplicates, they start posting this on the forums
  
• A blog post explaining war spoils is made, yet it does not tackle duplicates
  
• People still think duplicates are a bug, basically that your system is not working and instead of a useful drop they received a duplicate. They start to compare duplicates on the forums and massively complain
  
• Some posts are made, basically saying that everything is working as intended. Still no explanation about duplicates and people feel like it's just talk. They complain about duplicates and state they feel like Relic is making fun of them with it.
  
• Duplicates and their (completely valid) reasoning finally get revealed.
  

I like that it's explained, I dislike that it took pretty much a month do do so. For the next time, please try to get that done earlier. If you want to have outsiders views if the explanations are good enough you know where you find people. A lot of people here really want to like Relic, but a lot of your actions make that really really hard

You say the community is selfish but you are not different my friend. Because you and some others can pay for DLC is it ok that it is back?
Anyway, i was and i am against DLC which are affecting the Gameplay and Commanders do that.One way or another, they do that. It is not the same game for everyone if not everyone has the same and in this case it is the commanders.
Eveybody wants (at least they say so) a balanced and fair multiplayer but they dont give a shit if the opponents dont have the Commanders (Units) that they do have.

And dont start with the myth that the commanders dont affect gameplay and balance!

I did not buy a single commander. I paid for a few DLC things to support Relic, but I never bought the commanders. I am also not a fan of DLC affecting games, but I feel nowadays it's more or less the standard. In general I think the CoH2 DLC system is acceptable. A lot of the DLC is cosmetic or single player (60%? 70%?). There are a few game-changing DLCs, but these are now all droppable via the warspoils system. I would have preferred no DLC (or only WFA like faction DLC), but if that is what is required to keep the game supported, I'll take that.
A lot of people actually do not care that much about balance or multiplayer. The vs AI group is a major part of the community and a lot of people there care for more units, especially those high tier lategame units that look awesome.
You'll never get everyone 100% happy and I personally think that this mixture of allowing people to buy commanders, but also get free drops and still some development for those people who like non standard matches (Game lobbies, Theatre of War) is a really good system.

You see the thing is, without "fanboys" or people that prefer to play one faction over the others. Threads like this would never be made and balance disucussions would not happen.

I honestly would not call this thread a balance discussion. In the first post you summarized your feelings playing Oberkommando. Not really a discussion where you point out that this unit needs a buff or that one.
I slightly wonder, to be honest, why you left T2 (Medic Truck) out of the equation as the leIG is a great tool combined with Volks. Volks do not deal much damage, they have good survivability and lategame scaling due to a Schreck. In the first few minutes they can still compete vs opposing infantry, but once BARs or PPSh41 hit, they can only do much with nades. Yet they can still reveal and be a meatshield for damage dealers like Fallschirms, Obers or the leIG.
The other posts are usually either off topic, or ones by VetLolCake are an agreement. Nowhere you really state any balance changes. The only thing I see is you asking for design changes (more allround units, ...), but that's not a balance but a design discussion. Jagdpanzer, leIG and mines.

PS: Against Flak HT rushes you can try to wire off on quite a few maps. Kholodny ferma for example has lots of points that can easily be wired off to prevent it from roaming so freely.
