Hello guys, I just wanted to start a discussion about which maps you don't like and Veto most of the time.


Stalingrad
As a 95% Axis only player, this map is very hard. Stupid cover placements and most close quarter battles disfavor the German troops. 120mm is more destructive then ever before and you can forget about tanks (especially turretless ones) because of that awful pathing.

Bystraya Voda
I have to say I dislike this map even more than Stalingrad. IMO it's a cool idea to play a map at night but the fact that there is only one single fuel point makes this map bad. Additionaly the battles are somehow weird because of the uneven terrain.

Minsk Pocket
A horror for the German army if you rely on MGs to support your troops. Single bushes and tree stumps block your MGs/PaKs vision making it useless. It's even worse in 2v2.

Semoisky/Semoisky Winter
This was once my favourite map but with the changes of the fuel points I somehow dislike it. The winter version is even worse with its even further fuel points. In addition I hate the big frozen lake on the northern side. Most tanks somehow prefer to drive over this ice and with a single hit they sink. The enemy on the other hand has only a small river to fear.

Huertgen Forest
Way too large. Your units need about a minute to retreat to base. If being chased by an M3/M20/Stuart there is absolutely no chance to survive. It's also very tight on most places making the pathing go crazy.

I... guess you want to say that you (who lives in China) encounter several lag problems and want us (or Relic) to fix them.

Honestly the lag problems are mostly gone with the introduction of the battle servers a long time ago. Maybe the connection from China is too far away to provide a good latency but this is something we (this board) cannot change and Relic won't do it either because those servers are eexpensive.

I honestly think it is rather a problem on your side because there are some Chinese players on this board that don't face this problem at all.

the only last really problematic thing in this game imo is the 120mm mortar and its 1-man retreat

I don't know if it's #1 but adding up with the rest of guard motor it is devastating.
I don't care what some players say, the 120mm is imbalanced in terms of damage and viability. Especially as Ost you can not kill this thing, it's just not possible unless your opponent is asleep. Counter barrage doesn't work, flame barrage doesn't work and even a squad of Panzergrens won't take it down fast enough.

IMO the problem is that Ost/OKW were meant to be stronger in endgame but at least Sov is on par with them at the moment and even stronger in early and mid.
In addition unit preservation is much easier for allies because of the larger squad sizes. 4 man killed because of RNG leads to retreat for them, for Ost it's a expensive lost squad.

Wow, what's going on today, Tea? One salty thread follows another. Got pwned by some OKW dudes?
Just calm down, OKW is at a rather weak spot at the moment, half of your units and buildings are commander locked and simply not good (MG34).
You face an MG34? One smoke and it has to retreat. Bunkers die from almost everything in 3 shots and need 60 munition to be of any use.

I would suggest you to change your salt to sugar, life is much nicer then.

didn't know ostwind was an "area denial weapon"

There is a bulletin that adds supression to it's secondary gun
