Um, Scout Car? Scout Car? You don't *have* to counter snipe to counter Soviet Sniper - not to mention that sticky satchels are a lot harder to land on 222 than AT nade so if they do go Tier one it's a lot easier to dive for sniper AND counters scout car. Also, now that Coax machine gun tracks properly its a lot better vs. sniper in my experience.
My main principle is a compact and effective army, in 1 on 1 this is not possible. Just look at the typical 1 to 1 мatches - this is damn spam, 5 - 6 squads of conscripts,1 machine gun, 1 gun. nope thanks.
Team games don't equal 1 vs 1. We are consider balance only from side 1vs1. Because team games have absolutely different gameplay in comparsion to 1vs1. In team games i could see german heavy armor spam (or soviet early t-34 massive spam if all players will choose LendLease and will be spammed fuel drop simultaneously) that i couldn't see in 1vs1.
well, I never considered a 1 on 1 matches (because it is dull spam, and there is no combined arms action, my opinion), so it looks like we do not come to compromise
Brit sniper is joke of nature. Sniper with AT rifle without optic scope)) I rarely saw him in battlefield.
If soviet sniper will be equal to OST, you will see sniper spam, because with incendiary shot, 2 soviet snipers could instakill any german infantry squad in one blink of eye (shot-inc-shot-inc). Don't forgot that incshots always hit in target.
I often see the British sniper as spam in team games, and it works. Plus annoying ability - artillery
But if soviet sniper will be 1 man and got incediary shot then it will much more worst for OST, because DPS will rise very high (to compare with old 2 man squad with recon ability) and we will hear whine about nerf his DPS because 4-man squads OST will be die more quick.
What is the problem? We already have a British sniper, and I do not hear crying about him.
If make soviet sniper 1 man, then it must get good offensive ability (like incediary shot) to be equal with OST sniper. Or decrease of it's cost (300 MP as example).
I agree, all snipers should be approximately equal. Or all snipers are two people, or all snipers are one person.
The game is boring and not dynamic, the classic mode with points (or one point) makes the game more dynamic. The absence of defensive structures also upsets me. The monotonous gameplay, the factions are pretty similar. This game is a cut off mix of Dawn of War + Dawn of War 2 + Company of Heroes
"Capture point" is useful for T-70 and T-34. But the T-34 ability "Rum" I would be replaced by "Jerk" - increase speed and tower rotation speed, accuracy reduction
