It's a weird progression. The armies were at their most balanced state before the March Deployment if anyone remembers; Relic released information on win:loss ratios over time, and as of right before the March Deployment they were nearly dead even. Then the Deployment shook everything up, and we dealt with the balance growing pains of the new combat system. Then, once everything was close to even again (at least in perceived balance) before WFA, it's shaken up once more.

Relic did manage to balance the teams twice before into at least an acceptable state, but it took a lot of time and they were only working with two factions. Now? I can only imagine it's going to take longer, with a harder hit to peoples' patience.

Having dealt with public QA before, I would really like to suggest to Relic that perhaps you could consider setting up a public issue tracking interface which would allow users to submit bug reports and balance issues-- and then others would be able to comment, add information, and vote on the severity and priority of the bug or imbalance.

Personally, I've utilized both Mantis Bug Tracker in the past, as well as the Atlassian JIRA Issue Tracker. Issue trackers can be inexpensive (or free in the case of Mantis or something like Apache Bloodhound) and are not resource or infrastructure intensive to set up and run.

For all I know you may run one of these software packages internally, but from my experience both with the Alpha Stress Test and WFA alpha, most feedback is delivered either via forums or from personal contact.

Having a public issue tracker would not only allow members who wish to opt-in to provide input in an easily managed and aggregated way, but would allow the developers an easier way to interact with the public: It's a simple matter for marking whether a bug or balance issue is currently being looked into, worked on, solved, and whether they will be available in the next live branch. It would also importantly allow for developers to give this information in a centralized and appropriate location.

Sorry if I'm assuming too much here, I don't want to come off patronizing, but I would just hope that it's something that could be considered.

There are very few smurfs in COH2. I know of a few who must have bought new accounts when it was on sale for $10, but I think probably only 3-4.

You may just s...

You don't need to buy new games to smurf on CoH2. You simply need to share the game via Steam Family View with another linked account.

It's because Relic used the US Army's tiering system as a framework when they were placing units in CoH2. If you go into either data.sga or attrib.sga and look at soviet.ai, you'll see that the Soviet buildings in the game's code are called BARRACKS, WEAPONS_SUPPORT_CENTER, MOTOR_POOL, and TANK_DEPOT. Likewise, in BARRACKS you'll find a Riflemen and Jeep analog. In WEAPONS_SUPPORT_CENTER you find the MG and Mortar. Only real difference is Sniper has been switched to Rax and AT Gun to WSC.
