I think maybe limit most of the heavies to 1 of each per player max would be ok. But KV1s for example I think are ok to have a few of on their own. Adds variety and flavour and isnt too OP.
I do think increasing the CP on heavies would be good though, it would put a lot of people off stalling that long. It would be better if they were called after some tecking.
I actually prefer to teck in a lot of situations, say soviets, fast T3, get out an impact vehicle, this will accelerate CPs, then you can call a heavy (works nice with ISU, 1 M5 and 1 T34).
T34/85 spam with Guards motor is not as good now CPs were moved later. Its hard to stall that long. |

flamer cars still a reasonable counter to MP40s, because you can kite, go off repair, and when they are forced to retreat, you charge after and squad wipe. |
|
While you are kiting with your M3, if your in a pretty solid position, it can be a nice tacitc to allow some grens to faust you just as you are backing out of range and you know they have no other threats and your engies near by. Its an easy way to drain some important Ost munis. |

Cardboard, why is it silly for a cheap infatry thrown AT weapon to sometimes not penetrate the frontal armour of whats basically a medium tank. In the realms of the game at least, thats sensible.
Besides, in real life, even shells would bounce off frontal tank armour.. so I dont see a problem? And assault guns like SU85 or Stug would have most of their armour up front. |

I was trying to play as Sovs getting stomped (standard tactics), now playing as Germans stopping, and Baba's tactic above is the only thing that gave me a run for my money. Kite well, and the M3s can be really annoying, fast teck to T3 puts an abrupt end to it.. if you get the fuel, which isnt too hard with G43s. |
I have a very hard time defeating someone with poor micro with very good micro.
I play as German, I just wipe the floor with someone who doesn't micro excellent
That my friend isn't balanced game.

I cant find the thread now, but several months ago, some found burried in the coh2 game code working moddels for several vehicles from Coh1.
I think sherman was one, but I also remember a Wirrblewind.. all starting to make sence now! |

I agree with Porygon. If the M3 is used well, it can keep being a pain in the ass dealing steady damage and sometimes picking off a squad, and being invaluable for flanking an MG, when it is allowed to.
If it is used correctly, its farily difficult for the german to deal with.. just like a FHT used correctly is.
But either of those units will die very quickly if you are not really really careful with it. Pretty much like COH1 jeep, it wasnt worth it unless you were a ninja with it. |

Looked after well it can be a real pain in the germans side, which often leads them trying to set up flanks to corner it. So he is dancing to your tune instead of the other way around.
It might be nice with penals, but I cant bring myself to ditch the engies, cos its a good way to use the initial ones and having repairs always on hand is what makes it viable.
Its also great for nipping to outlying flags, then engie jumps out and mines while he caps. Can cause havok with this. |
What has happened to the balance  It was pretty nice before. As if germans needed more reasons to spam Grens.
Using M3s is really a gamble against mass grens, and when you lose one the manpower drain is really bad now, they felt dispoasable to an extent before, as long as you didnt get too many. |
