Welcome to the jungle
Wololo

Outside of the obvious changes which are more or less guaranteed to be changed:

-Replacing Stuka Dive bomb/IL2 bombing strikes from ISU/Ele commanders
-KV1 (probable the next meta after this patch)
-Radio silence
-Spec Ops Flares and probable UKF flare
-Airborne IL2 Rocket strafe pen nerf



OH:
Changes to
-Command PIV
-Relief Infantry
-Osttruppen Reserves (Mobile Def)

Abilities which can be distribute to weaken commanders and are only used in single one atm
-Stuka Flaming bombing run
-Single pass AT stuka strafe
-Single pass AI stuka strafe

Commanders which need an update to current standards
-Luftwaffe
-Close Air support


SU:
Changes to
-Guard Airborne troops. I still think one way to nerf the IL2 rocket strafe without touching the ability is to swap it with the IL2 AI strafe and make it vet 0. Generally improve this Guard and make it a single squad (similar to OH Jaeger Command squad).
-Rapid Conscription
-120mm small changes to cost/vet/pop
-Fix to IL2 single strafe run
-Spy Network

Abilities which can be given
-IL2 single strafe run
-Small AT mines

Commander update:
-Partisans
-Shock Army

TIGER/IS2
I still think that they shouldn't gain range at vet 2 regardless of their current performance.


Other 3 factions later

Thanks!

I still have to clean them up but that's a good compilation of several different useful sources of information.

In my opinion every unit should have attack ground ability, units for example like

the sniper can attempt to hit a cloaked sniper however he will likely to die if it failed.
mgs can fire through smoke as an attempt to kill any units foolhardly enough to charge literally in front of him and etc.

Hold fire on every units can be neat, it can allow for more sneaky plays and punish unfocused players. (in reality this might be impossible because I'm quite sure many will be trigger happy) looking at conscripts

A skill on mg for it to be locked in place and unable to move, manually selecting a target and missing by a pixel makes the mg unpack is quite annoying

Small arm fire is hitscan and doesn't have projectiles.

Firing through smoke would render smoke useless against MGs.

If you have issues with unpacking MGs, use attack command instead of clicking on enemy units.

Uhh isn't the point of the game to build a bigger army than your opponent? Are we ignorant of Lanchester's square law? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester%27s_laws)

I thought the whole point of the game is that players compete over resources on the map to increase their army growth. If it's supposed to just be a roll of the dice and a player with one squad after a series of bad choices should have the same chance of winning as a player with 10 squads after a series of careful engagements then I'm not playing anymore.

Having a bigger army gives you a higher probability of winning the game. It's as simple as that.

You simple don't like the concept of upkeep and popcap, with the last one been something that all if not most RTS implement in one way or another.


While it's a generalist way to look at RTS, games which makes you micro manage heavily in tech and economy doesn't force you to constantly micro and battle your opponent (SC2/AOE2). You can get your 200/200 values armies.
On the other side of the spectrum, you have games like COH/WC3. Which are more combat heavy, simplifying the economic aspect but forces you to think way more about your unit composition and what you are doing with it.
