-Panther becomes useless as it has the same range as medium tanks and other heavy tanks. It becomes an interesting concept been at 40 range with high pen but totally overcosted.
-Comet get's shafted again, cause i'm sure it would go down in range as with other 45 range vehicles.
-So you plan on nerfing Pershing, KT and Tiger to basic 40 range?
-What do you do with 50 range vehicles other than PV? There's M10 and Stug. There's the Su76 at 60 range which would be useless at 50 range IMO. The Puma/Aec becomes way better now that they can hit back vehicles at the same range.

Instead of messing up with range, you can do so in a more practical way with size of vehicles and accuracy. Make all advance premium mediums and heavies bigger and you could reduce the accuracy of TDs and/or reduce the size of medium tanks.

In the round of 32, 15 of the 16 matches were 3-0 or 3-1.
In the round of 16, 6 of the 8 matches were 3-0 or 3-1
In the round of 8, all four matches were 3-0 or 3-1
In the round of 4, both matches were 3-0 or 3-1

Both of the finals were split 3/2.

Only 4 out of 38 matches (10.5%) were closely split. This means that the selection bias is so strong that you can't look at win/loss and conclude anything about the factions. The results are skewed towards whichever faction the better player picks. Even in the cases where the worse player picked faction, it would have rarely helped them win.

The only conclusion that you could make out of this is that elite players don't choose UKF. I haven't noticed any of them commenting on this thread so everyone else is speculating.

10 times this.

UKF, commander pick and unit usage. You can vouche for smaller balance changes but not this monstrosities some people are suggesting.

The reality is that it would only increase the waiting time and made match ups even worst because there is an even smaller pool of players to pick up from.

There's merit in looking in a way to improve matchmaking so unranked players doesn't mess as much with MM.
There's no point in trying to segregate playerpools unless you have 30/50K players available at any given time.

It used to be that they carry over. It was fixed. Best way to check it is by going into custom game and getting it to vet 2 and recrewing it time and time again.

You would notice by rotation speed.

I do not buy that. The M36 received a too many buffs vs to many targets.

They unit should either be very good vs mediums but average vs Super heavies or good vs Super heavies and below average vs mediums.

100% chances (or close to it) to penetrate PzIV from range 60 and being able to counter all super heavies is simply too much.

You mean hit not penetrate right?

That's because size had been handled poorly, in the sense that they tried to correlate real life with numerical values instead of been another parameter to balance vehicles around.

This is what i would aim to change.


Heavies:

-Delay heavy vehicles by 2 CPs

-Tiger and IS2 vet 2 extended range removed. Swap 10% reload from vet 3. Vet 3 goes to -23% from -30% (basically similar numbers total).

The extended range basically doesn't do much for the Tiger dynamic against 60 range TDs and by sheer raw stats it is enough to bully medium and infantry at 45 range. The IS2 on the other part, makes trivial the usage of 50 range TD/TH such as Stug/PV.
You could voucher for a trivial buff to munition cost on the vet 1 ability once it hit vet2 as the lost of the range is higher.

-IS2 armor from 375 to 350

-I'll abstain giving specific numbers but probably small cost increases to all heavies (Tiger, IS2, Pershing, TA) and/or pushing them back a bit further on tech whether one option is better.

SU:
-Remove the upgrade on 7 man conscript from T3 (did anyone actually tried to get it early at all?)
-Option1: nerf the offensive bonus on cover, to 15%
-Option2: when at T4, Conscript can upgrade to 7 man. For the mp, vet and cover bonuses, they have to unlock it.

-Su85: Reduce the penetration bonus at vet 2 from 30% to 10%.
This makes the unit effectively be able to fight equally at vet 0 vs vet 0 PV and at vet 2 vs vet 2 PV if i did the math right. The 10% increment is also enough to push the pen over 100% against PIV (right now there is a really small chance at max range at vet 0).
TDs are at a good enough level at vet 0 ATM that i don't think they need to tip the scale so heavily once they vet.

USF:
Outside of the Jackson, not sure what else can be really touched down. Slight rollback on Rifle buffs in a middle ground?

-Jackson: start by applying same change on vet penetration as the Su85 or completely remove it, as the Jackson already has access to AP shells. Alternative a small rework to give it a real weakness compared to simil allied TDs. 2 Type of shells?

OH:
-Stug: swap vet 3 with vet 2.
-Give TWP 160dmg as it's no longer 15s of disable and it already forces a reload.
-Give it some accuracy on vet as other TDs.

-PV: give it 30%, either at vet 2 or spread out, as all other TDs.

-Light AT: either try to see if you can implement a 221 upgrading through mp + fuel into 222, or see if there is any chance in making current 222 at current cost, have a higher HP value so it acts more effectively as a soft counter to light tanks. (If the issue is AEC, i would make AEC clone to Puma).


Will continue later...out of time.
