Profile of MadeMan

sounds interesting but probably too futuristic for me.

If I did have one complaint about the game, it's that I don't really like the Sci-Fi look and aesthetics either, but if the gameplay can bring back a nice meaty base-building and resource gathering RTS I'll enjoy it.

why don't you go out on a street, pay 5 euro to some bum and tell them to entertain you for 100 hours+.

I found that far more amusing than I should have.



For real though, I paid about $69 AUD or something for this game retail, I don't regret it. I only play 1v1 but don't take the competitive side that seriously, it's skewed too much by RNG and 'Muh Realism' to be truly balanced anyway, but it's a lot of fun.

StuG and SU76 changes are a bit perplexing. These two units were already pretty bad and changes on paper seem to make them worse, but will have to see how they synergize with all the other changes.

I was surprised too, mainly at the armour decrease. SU76 did get a penetration buff though, which is very nice in my mind. Considering you can build so many, having them bombard infantry to the stone age, and then mobbing up to attack armour will be more effective too. Maybe they'll be more of a glass cannon style unit, or even just more spammable since they have better offensive capability now?

Ram has range reduced by .2, if it misses the Soviet engine blows up and the unit is lost. On hit, the T34 is abandoned and the crew captures the unit that has been rammed. Both units are reduced to half health.

Blitz has been changed so that it requires a Pioneer ability on the tank before it can be used. Accuracy is decreased while in blitz but penetration increased (due to simualte shells moving faster since the tank itself was moving faster when firing)

M3 scout car can now carry weapon crews to make a mortar truck. It still cannot carry Snipers.

ISU-152 now does no damage to infantry but will crew shock any vehicle on hit. Turn speed doubled.

IS-2 tank can now crush small and medium tanks by driving over them.

Ostwind has to switch manually between being able to hit ground targets and air targets.

StuG has had 'Target Weak Point' replaced with 'Blitz'

Panzer IV has had 'Blitz' replaced with 'Target Weak Point'

German scout cars can now only by built by Pioneers in the field, still requires escalation to battle phase 2, retains all other stats.

I voted 1v1, since I imagine that's the most competition based game mode? Not just that, but I think that balancing 1v1 will have the best affect on other modes rather than vica versa.
