The match results depends purely on RNGesus and micro. Whether the PV miss shots on approach against the Su85 or the T34 are lucky to pen while the PV gets close.

Then it's a matter of micro between been able to keep the frontal armor against the T34s and how much HP pool left the PV have after killing the Su85.

And how are you going to "normalize" things with vastly different cost, timing and completely different directions of scaling?

Cutting wings off a plane will not make it a car.
It will however create massive problems - with timing, role, scaling, intended engagements outcome, filed presence.

Simple fixes do not really work on very complicated issues, which infantry combat and scaling is.

You can start by:

-Opening a spreadsheet and looking at the cost of all units and the xp value of each of them. Similar cost units should have similar xp values unless it's determined that they should have a lower/higher value to balance them out.
-Taking a look at the vet benefits each levels provide. We all know EFA vet1 is meme tier on most cases and there are units on the other factions which have mostly decorative levels due to time/resource constraints after they reworked them.

In the case of weapon slots: IMO if you give as much firepower/utility to an upgrade to make them worth of them to take a weapon slot, sure do so. Normalising everything for the sake of consistency without clear positive results, is just wasting time.

And that is my point lack of resources is not an excuse for fixing things that can be fixed, especially when the specific changes are normalizing thing and thus have a low chance of creating problems.

Ironically, the fact that it doesn't create problems is also the reason it may not see prioritisation. It improves the game, but it improves it by little while still requiring manpower hours to analyse, code, test and QA it.
It's a matter of game design/catching the attention of the playerbase, which transcends CoH2. Reworking things and presenting them as new toys is more appealing than slight number tweaking.

I don't have the will to dig down in code and test things to see how they play, but at this point of the game life cycle, unless you propose concrete changes with numbers behind it, there's little hope to see what you propose to be done in a broad way across the board.

Remember when Computer Player recrewed weapons retained their old squad abilities? AI Grenadier crewed MG's could rifle grenade your suppressed squad, or AI Conscript crewed ZiS-3's could AT Rifle your flanking vehicle.

I have a compiled list of amusing bugs from the British Forces closed testing, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post those yet. Mods?

Do you have a copy of the NDA? Don't think anyone would get mad at this point but i'll say you shouldn't post it.

I see your campaign of proving me wrong continues as usual. A word of advice partial quoting me and taking things out of context does not actual help your campaign, since I was responding to the comment "Since release the nerfs are much more then the buffs".

But once more it you actually prove yourself to be wrong. For everyone one of these "nerf" you listed conscripts received buff and ended up being stronger than they where before your so called "nerfs".

My point still stands, overall conscripts have been buffed and not nerfed, the buff are actually more than nerfs.

But have a nice day.

TBH, your point is kinda iffy. You started with a false premise (conscripts never receiving nerfs in last years) and continued with a subjective opinion.
If we compare today conscripts they are much weaker than conscripts on release. And that's is fine, because most if not all the power they had, came from cheese (which is a subjective opinion whether this is good or not).

1- Overpowered bulletins (health and damage).
2- Dirt cheap abilities. I remember using Oorah at the beginning of the game to get faster to strategic points because it was basically a free ability.
3- Long range throwing AT nades and Molotovs pass vet 2. While Molotovs had always been a joke, what was not a joke is when they finally were blessed by RNGesus and crit models.
4- Stacking cover HTD
5- PPSH were stupidly cheap and stronger.
6- Cheese flare on doors.
7- Sandbag ghost/spam.
8- Dead models were the best scouting tools.
9- Release PTRS focusing the support weapon itself rather than models resulting in instakills.
10- Popcap and weapon slots.


Soviets has always been a cheese faction. Once you nerf the cheese and normalise the units, you found out that they are so bland, irrelevant, which can't keep up with normal standards because it's hard to gauge the potential of a unit which has so much power budget behind those attributes.


The problem has always been the Western Front Armies, which put the power level so high compared to what we had with vanilla factions. Even worst when you consider that veterancy was not working properly for quite a long time (which further exacerbate the original intended late game potential AI). The problem in their case was not early performance but mostly late game potential.

Buffing units is fine, as long as the buff is not done in a timeframe on which the units is already good. Buffing a unit doesn't mean increasing only DPS.
Increasing DPS doesn't mean models will start to instantly be deleted. If we gave Combat Engineers, Guards Mosins after T3/T4, it doesn't mean we will have units falling down like they were wielding double LMG34s. Because while the buff is insane, the timeframe at which is applied and damage potential is leagues below the DPS expected by units at that time.

You can nerf units (Penals and Volks). It doesn't mean that you are fixing the problem of most other units or help them make them relevant.

PD: i don't like OP suggestions btw.

In fact I'm worry about coming new balance upgrade，PPsh +7 men squad with reduce refinement cost and in cover bouns……

The 7 men upgrade is mutually exclusive with weapons upgrades. That was the whole point, 6 vanilla conscripts are useless late game but 7 men conscripts with either PTRS or PPSH would had been oppressive if they didn't take a weapon slot.
