But im saying that the units remain the same. Axis still have stronger armor. Delaying their entry into battle doesn't really help balance. More game time with medium tanks should be good though.

I think the problem you are describing is more of a faction design/ call-in system issue. Most of the tank call-ins are much more potent that non-doctrinal options. If all factions were like USA or Ostheer (they can win with their non-doctrinal stuff), then we wouldn't see such spam of heavy tanks (KT non-doc though :/ )

If the ost players go to MG42/Mortars/Pak40 compined army, not infantry blobs, then they will also suffer from Katyusha which hits the field even earlier than a T34/76.

But when the soviet players go to Maxim/Mortars/Zis3 compined army, they will not be afraid of poor ost army. Because the werfer is so late and usless, high tech cost and high scatter. And the rocket artilley is the best killer for weapon crews.

Ofc I'm not talking about OKW walking stuka, I'm talking about ost. Ost lacks something to counter blobs and weapon crews. They lacks usefull artillery.

In some teamgame cases, as you know, there will be more ost players, they have no way to beat the soviet compined army. The game will be even before Katyushas come out, then the balance breaks, the ost front line breaks so quickly.

RESOURCES

I think it is wrong to blame the resources and caches for messing up 4v4 balance. Some of you are acting like if we tone down resources or remove caches, the game will be magically balanced. Let's say we delay the KT or IS2 by a couple minutes, what happens when they do enter the battlefield? It will just be the same result as it is now. People will complain that they are getting defeated without the chance to bring out their late-game stuff. Remember when OKW came out? People complained that they had too weak of an early-game that they could never get to their supposed amazing late-game.
