You know what they say, don't hate the player, hate the game.

I am neither German nor Soviet player. When I play German I like to mix things up too but you have to confront a simple truth that you would know if you played Soviets this patch:

90% of people you play against build at least 4 Grens and most build 5. So while you may be a noble exception, most people are abusing the fuck out of Gren spam and Pio spam and that's what anyone playing Soviets has to face.

Prior to the patch, I think the BO and tactics were more stale especially with the Soviets. Most were just Conscript starts. Since the patch, I've seen a lot more variety with them. These include T1 and T2 starts along with a sprinkling of Cons.

I also see some variety in German starts but not as much, people tend to play it safer here although I have seen the German snipers more often. Considering we are getting Pio starts, AG starts, and Gren starts, isn't that varied? There really aren't many other options a Deutsch player has, no? We don't *want* HMG starts right? Plus regardless if the aforementioned starts, I see at least one HMG used and sometimes Mortars. Again isn't this varied?

My observations are for 1v1 and 2v2 and based not just on my experiences but in watching mTw streams, Dane, jesulin, Sage, JaminROCK, etc.

There is no question in my mind the game is more tactical now. People who don't use them get punished, as they should.

Still room for improvement but this patch seemed a big step forward. In addition all recent interviews with Relic have them stating the game will continue to be heavily supported, both Eastern Front and Western Armies. Their support to date is superior to their effort in vCoH.

As long as howitzers are so easily destroyed its hard to talk about balance. They always go up in smoke.
