USF has 80% win rate? Wow. So you should be able to use USF to win 4 out of 5 games as US, let's check your playercard, oh, it appears you forgot to include it. An oversight, I am sure. Normally I am against playercard-shaming, players of all levels deserve to enjoy the game, but this isn't about level, it's about faction win ratios and play ratios and single-faction warriors polluting the forums.


NON.
DOCTRINAL.
PANZERGRENADIERS.

Pzgrens are awesome. They melt face if used properly. But I guess you guys want infantry that can only be used by YOLOing them face-first into enemy troops and hoping for the best. Such tactics. Many micro. Wow.


The truth is, Ostheer is a solid core faction that doesn't need stinking infantry call-ins to supplement a crappy core, unlike certain other armies I could name. But somehow you guys spin this to be a disadvantage. I don't even.

Ostheer has less infantry call-ins, therefore they effectively get more doctrinal abilities. I suppose some people would rather get another crappy Shock troops reskin than instant tank smoke, elefant, maphack spotting scopes, and Stuka dive bombs.

The irony is shocktroop style infantry wouldn't even work for Ostheer that well because Allies generally get much better DPS as range decreases. Good luck charging into a flamer / BAR miniblob, see how that works out for you.

Using this "Equalize the factions" approach can only hurt Ostheer in the long run, you shortsighted fools. Or do you WANT Allies to have Blitzkrieg, Elefant, Stug equivalent, ammo conversion etc.? Because that's where your argument is headed.

I have no idea what people use Fireflies for and what they want from it but reducing reload to 7 seconds would make it batshit OP (as it used to be during the Alpha).

Not once while using that tank did I say "huh, this is pretty underwhelming, it only absolutely wrecks medium armour at an excellent rate as opposed to fantastic, and its 90% penetration rate on the kingtiger is sorta meh."

It is the single most useful supporting AT unit in the Allied arsenal (Jacksons are better damagewise but they don't come in an army that can field Churchills and Comets). It is just that the FF is also in an army that has no infantry AT worth speaking of, has no snares, and the tank itself is very slow (or at least has low acceleration, which is completely out of line with the other Sherman variants). All this translates into your "tank sniper" being ganked at Axis player's leisure. If Brits had a single snare ability able to punish advancing Axis tanks, ANY SNARE WHATSOEVER that isn't a mine or the extinct-from-meta AEC, the Firefly would be a god on the battlefield.

I mind the very low maneuverability more than the reload time. It's supposed to be a tank sniper, okay, we get it, Relic. And I would love to use it as one, but I can't because it is so sluggish to escape any actual confrontation. I am not asking for a Puma level of maneuverability but turret traverse, low speed PLUS reload time is too much. Considering the cost, one of the aforementioned tripple whammy has to go.

YAY FARTS ON THE BIAS


ps: It's awesome

That's it buddy. Added to the fartlist.

Are you on Google Chrome? Are you tired of wading through bullpudding on the balance forums? Look no further, I got an extension for you.

What if I told you you can add users to a "fartlist" that will replace all their posts in the future with farts? If you need anything more after that, then you are browsing different balance forums than I.

If you really want to know what farts the fartlisted users are spouting now, you can temporarily translate their posts from fart lanugage into normal, or unfartlist them, but why would you do that?

A sample of it in action: (with apologies to users in this screenshot who were randomly fartized for demonstration purposes).

Planned improvements include possibility to hide users outright, fartize single posts instead of users and seeing how many times a post has been fartized by other users.
