If she keeps on like that I will like her!

She is totally right, but if you look around: Most of the scrubs from the community won't be able to understand

"Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they won't understand
Your grandsons, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand"

So ive had trouble with the self repair ability of some soviet doctrines

thing is you can only activate/deactivate it while your vehicle is damaged, but as soon as its repaired to full HP your unable to turn off the self repair and hence itll continue to drain your ammo...
i doubt that this is working as intended, unless relic wants us to turn it off at 99% hp or suffer the ammo penality...

what do you guys think?

strong? yes. broken? no. rng dependend? yes, sometimes it doesnt do much vs inf because youre unlucky, sometimes it wipes the map clean of every single squad

still, the design of all 3 heavy TDs/AGs is something im not too happy about and they either need to be changed or replaced with different units

relic already won this challange

NKVD rifle disruption, anyone?

the little Gauss in me is crying... again...

Many of you dont even question the source of OPs statistical graphics... who provided the data? how did he operate? he barely explains it on the official forum and nobody felt the need to check if he worked properly/without bias. what is the exact sample size? he mentions the top 200 in every mode thats quite weird since there are teams too... the top 200 positions in 4v4 (both factions) are actually 1600 players... how do they influence the data? which ladder is he using in 2v2+ ? if it is "random ranked", you might as well delete this thread now. its all so frustratingly scarcely sourced, i cant take it seriously, sorry

1.b)
i especially dislike the way the graphs are designed with the y-axis varying in each one (the 4v4 W/L starts at 0.4 W/L, which really distorts the relation between wins and losses in my humble opinion.... ofc the gap is big but it is exaggerated by the way its presented)

2.
The stats only take into account the "Top 200 players" (which as mentioned in §1 isnt properly defined) in each mode over a couple of days. If this didnt ring a bell and you were like "hmmm maybe this isnt representive of the overall W/L ratios or even balance", puh, thats pretty naive of you

3.
Even within the "top200" these graphs dont say that much... just imagine this: every axis player also plays allies once in a while and vice versa. how many of the top 200 prefer axis to allies, yet still play allies and lose? the top 200 dont always fight each other (there been cases where rank disparity reached 5000+) and again the team game problem (see §1). theres so much not taken into consideration at all


I wont go on nor further into detail with this, but if you made any statement on balance based on these graphs, you basically disqualified yourself from any balance discussion in my eyes (and in the eyes of anyone who actually likes a proper discussion and not something along the lines of "X is OP, Nerf IT! BUFF Y cause graph Z says so")
