Profile of Australian Magic

For the sake of diversity, just no.

Less diversity - more balance.
More diversity - less balance.

Just a remider, the most balanced RTS games have mirror design as much as they can and they are still very enjoyable.

For the sake of balance, yes.

1. Because their stock units are garbage

I stopped right there.

Sturmpioneers.
Stuka zu fuss
Pz IV with armor of a Panther
Panther
Obers
KT
Puma
Luchs

So weak units... So useless

Volksgrenadiers
Fallschirmjäger
Jäger Light Infantry
Obersoldaten
MG34 Heavy Machine Gun Team
Raktenwerfer 43 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher
7.5cm le.IG 18 Infantry Support Gun
SdKfz 251/17 Flak Half-Track
Flammpanzer 38 “Hetzer”
Flakpanzer IV Ostwind
Jagdpanzer IV/70
Panzer IV Ausf. J Medium Tank
Panther PzKpfw V Medium Tank
Tiger B “Königstiger”

14 units were changed. That's the majority, hence most is the correct term as it means Greatest in number.

2. Removed suppression is a nerf, it could win engagements against several units even if you had less units on the field due better micro and positiong. Now it can cap and push. Yet a RE squad behind green cover is enough to scare it off. The MG34 on it can't kill a sniper even if you chase him over the whole map.

3. Again this theorycraft masters discussion? No competive good player will ever skip light vehicles, so your fallacy makes no sense here. Meta in the preview revolves around OKW going T3-T2-T4, while USF go Captain-ambu-bar/zooks-major

4. Luchs was losing against t70 & stuart already before, now its losing by a huge margin. Flat out nerf. Sure its design is to fight infantry but likewise it shouldn't be helpless that fill out the complete same margin. Your ludicrous Sherman / Brummbär comparision perfectly fits also for the T70 as it has the same role as a Luchs.

5. For me its a buff, for 3vs3+ heroes its a nerf.

6. Not arguing about theorycrafting semantics. OKW have at the moment even more MP than in the preview and yet are the weakest factions. If you had played the preview you'd notice that investing into light vehicles is a MP dump for OKW. And if you fail to force the OKW player to get light vehicles you do something wrong.

7. I use the .50 cal in every linear build I go. It's a great HMG, with good dps. You can ask even Firesparks I've build two in order to keep okw hordes back in the first preview patch version. Just because you are unable to utilize this unit it doesn't mean others are too. Against Ostheer a linear tech build is still stronger than the Captain only build.

typical immature ad hominem. Play the game, play the preview. Mr theorycraft master. I wonder why you hide your playercard nowadays, as you were showing it in the past.
If you check out mine, you'd noticed I'm top 100 with allies in my preferred game mode. If you'd check my past games, you'd notice I have been playing constantly allies lately. While you don't seem to play the game at all, or even remotely the preview patch.

1. I would count KT, JP and Obers as untounched units and it that case we have 11 real nerf, 9 without a nerf and 3 which are still powerful vet 5 game winners.
2. It's just a different role. Right now it's easy to inflict small bleed on the enemy while Kubel needs only repairs. It may be weaker but it's not useless.
3. I find T2+T4 into Pz4 rush very effective since my enemy will have Stuart at the same time.
4. Luchs was always losing to T70 and Stuart by design. Why could whine why Stuart is not as powerful agasint infantry as luchs.
6. With T1 raketen, volks blob and cheap T4 it's quite easy to repel enemy's pressure for light vehicle.
7. I did not asku you when was the last time you ve use it. I asked you when was the last time you saw it. By the way, if USF meta is Cpt/Ambu/Racks/Major why you go for 50cal every game?

I did play, and I dont hide (did not realize it was set as private). And there is nothing ad hominem. It's just truth. Just asa reminder when you said that JPIV camo is perfectly fine and just attack ground, when you said that allied mediums still are earlier on the field than OKW tanks (but they are not) or even right now saying that MP is now heavy on MP for teching while still it's cheaper than rest. Simple facts in OKW favour which have nothing to do with reality.
+ Ive never seen you talking about UP allied units or nerfs yet you are alwasy to defend axis' units

Not to mention bullshit arguments that units' vet 5 was nerfed. Sure it was, for example, Ostwind's. Yet somehow at vet 5 it's still much more powerful than OST one. And many other units which still receive huge advantage at vet 5 versus vet 3.

This M4C spam is bs. Not the best medium tank, but very potent and spammable thanks to the no tech. A group of them can easly chew up axis forces.

@Australian Magic; Soviets have good early game and can easly achieve 28fuel/min which is only about capping 50-60% of the map.

@Katitof, Stug-e, P4 Command Tank and puma has nothing to do with this as they are not generlist vehicles nor game changers.

Altogether, it should be tied to tech.

Average 28F/min for 24mins means that there was almost no time when the fuel point was cut off.
