It seems like either Relic or the balance team scrambled up a little more strenght and made a few last minute changes to the upcomin balance patch

These are mostly focused on maps and across the board designs rather than faction balancing

Detailed notes are on the official forum, as well as on Steam, my link postin is now broken, but Ill add it later, here is a bit that I copy pasted from there:

Maps removed from 2vs2 poll: Elst Outskirts, Eindhoven country

Replacements are yet to be announced

Map changes and redesigns:

Stadschutt- cut offs are now changed to cut off the fuel points on opposite sides of the map, in order to reward players for contesting opponents fuel

Crossroads- Stone buildings with a blindspot on 2 sides added near the fuel points to provide more power positions and defenses for overlooking the points

Poltawa- Added more red cover along base exits as well as green cover sandbags that start wired off from the HQ owner's side, to ensure higher skill demands for pushing back on the field and properly punish mapcontrol loses

Road to Kharkov- Northern cutoff moved more towards the center and further away from a nearby wooden house to improve general flow and make the map feel more natural. Additionaly, northern HQ is being moved slighty closer towards the northern map edges to prevent players from reaching the central frontlines too quickly

AI- upon further observation, it seems obvious that AI controlled armies rely on very stereotipical build orders. All AI are now set to inveat resources into at least two clowncars across all stages of the game to improve unit variety

HQ sectors- Added RA and recieved damage penalties to units in friendly HQ sectors to rewards risky base raids

There is so many things you could do to make it less obvious.

This one is pure gold. Add auto-placed mines on base entrances, and this will be awersome.

What the heck is that HQ change? Did the devs add twisted tootsty to the balance team?!?

This is just a mindless buff to USF and Wehr clowncar cheese and nothing else as Brits or OKW don't have access

Brits have UC for complete dominance in dives - no fuel cost, can transport one squad inside AND CAN SELF-REPAIR! Nerf pls

That moment when you are trained to read preview links. If you are bit old you know to identify "Xcq" or whatever string you know of the yt code.

Oh, btw,

I love the idea of penalties in the HQ to reward risky raids. Nice one. Made my day :-)
