I am writing because i love the game and i want to see it in the best possible state
here are some stats from the latest snf and while the number of matches is too small to allow any conclusions i have a feeling that those numbers are close to reality in the way and proportion that faction choice (map dependent ofc ) ups or downes ones skill generated chances to win a game
Semois:
Map played: 46 times (Most played map on SNF Season 04)
# of allied wins: 20 wins (43%)
# of axis wins: 26 wins (57%)
Langres:
Map played: 25 times
#Allied wins: 11 wins (44%)
#Axis wins: 14 wins (56%)
Angoville
Map played: 25 times
#Allied wins: 13 wins (52%)
#Axis wins: 12 wins (48%)
those stats are actually incorrect, correct stats are as follows:
Semois:
26 Axis wins (all Wehr)
22 Allied wins (all US)
Langres:
16 Axis wins (all wehr)
13 Allied wins (all US)
Angoville:
12 Axis wins (2 of those were PE wins)
13 Allied wins (all US)
Argentan:
24 Axis wins (all Wehr)
13 (!) Allied wins (all US)
all you can deduce from these stats is that argentan might be wehr favore with a ~65% win percentage. also, like BHC said, sample size is too small to draw any relevant conclusions.
imho, if you factor in map bias, you'll get to the conclusion that the game isr reasonably well balanced. skill and map have so much influence over the outcome of the game that imbalances (if there are any) do not matter.
