Easy Eight and T34/85 call in was removed, but now they come earlier as they are built from tech and can be at any time. And this is a negative because...?

They need to be build. Before they came instantly.

Thanks

With next patch in mind, how do you see the 4vs4 balance ? And why ?

After watching some 4vs4 matches with and without the tuning pack (next patch) here are my conclusions:

Allies : (+/-)

USA :
- No more EA-Sherman call in;
- Buldozer and Wolverine come later;
+ Better access to BAR/Zook;

Soviets :
- No more t-34/85 call in;
- Katyusha will come later;
- T-34/76 anti infantry come later;
- Conscript still awfull in late game + AT-nades nerf.
- PTRS nerfed;
- Mortars nerfed;
- Heavy tanks call in delayed;
+ Su76 moved to T3;


Axis : (+/-)

OKW :
- Heavy tanks call in delayed;
+ Better infra red detection halftrack;
+ King tiger not delayed;


Ostheer :
+ Hmg42 area lock down;
+ Flamer halftrack come sooner;
- Heavy tanks call in delayed;
- CAS nerfed a bit, but still powerful;

****Please add any meaningful changes that should be there***

A typical 4vs4 game on Lienne forest :

Axis line-up :

CAS (OST) + Fortification(OKW) + Jaeger Armor (OST) + Breakthrough(OKW)

Allies line-up

Airborne (USA) + Urban defense (SOV) + Guard Motor (SOV) + Shock Rifle (SOV)


Game start: Score 390 vp (Allies) to 250 vp (Axis)

Allies gain solid footage in town and center VP, but surrender control of the forest VP.
Allies infantry dominate the battlefield but the bunkers + HMGs stopped them before they can have solid foothold on the Axis side of the battlefield.

Middle game : Score 220 vp (Allies) to 130 vp (Axis)

Town is now rubble but mostly under control of Allies;
Center VP is switching side.
Forest VP firmly in Axis hands.

CAS begin it's attrition work.
Tanks from both side begin to be seen.
Infra red recon starting to be very useful;
Arty from both side shelling constantly. But with better recon, Axis arty fair better.
Allies 3 Katyusha cleaning the center building VP.
*Situation is mostly a stand off.*


End phase : Score 10 vp (Allies) to 100 vp (Axis) = Allies abandon

Axis bunkers everywhere;
2 king tigers dominate the center
4 vet 3 Panthers counter any intruders.
3 squads of vet 3 shreckers support Axis tanks;
CAS obliterated all AT guns and allied mortars;
Katyusha destroyed all Axis at guns + 1 Elephant;
The remaining 3 Su85 + 4 t34-85 were nearly all destroyed trying a last assault on center VP.

Why did the Axis win ?
-Smoke on tanks.( it's why the panther got vet 3)
-The 2 king Tigers. (they survived all the Katyusha shelling), Mostly used defensively around center VP)
-CAS that crowd control infantry and kill at-gun;
-Infrared halftrak recon. (a real winner)
-Bunkers that staled or stopped Allies infantry.
-3 squads of shrekers that can one-shot any allied tanks but the IS-2.

* Those matches were close to the end, but Axis won most of the time in the end.
** In all the match players of both sides were rather skilled.
*** COH2 in 4vs4 is rather good show to watch.


I hope i'm totally wrong.

Thanks.

Nice changes overall.

Will the is allies changes will be enough to contain Axis infantry rush + hmg42 + mortars. (3v3+)

CAS changes look cool.

Soviets build will be more streamlined...

Panzer 4 will should have good time...

More after field testing..

I think the devs can manage something cool for everyone 1vs1 included, i trust them.

3vs3+ and custom are the most popular way to play the game.

So It will happen, it need to happen for this game to have a future. We must think to everyone not just 1vs1.
