They'll add Commissars when Relic can wrap their heads around the concept. Unlikly until Quinn reads one of those "hundreds of books" brags about, and not just looks at the pictures.

I want to change my selection, even though I love the Sturmpanzer IV, because of blobs-be-gone factors. Fallshirms are just that awesome that I have to give them my vote. Second only to superman paras with Thompsons.

Do you remember when Wehrmacht meta was all about rushing flammen ht? It could come in 8 minutes and kill almost everything. I use it sometimes, with a pak or Puma protecting it. I suggest flame ht nerf, cost reduction to 90 muni and back to T2.

This caused the following:

Soviets usually have AT guns available within 30 seconds, not to mention their amazing mines.

In all seriousness I agree with everything, BUT, and there is a but. The problems you outline I wouldn't rank as simple balance issues, but rather results of some less then optimal design choices made in the game.

The problem with grens is because of infantry combat being too heavily focused on ranges instead of say cover.
Scoutcars are only effective with muni, well relic tries to avoid seeing 4-6 of them.
Pzgrens getting wiped, well we all get wiped. In my humble opinion I suggest this is a design choice to prevent infantry snowballing into the lategame. And give users ability to "come back" as Relic seem to be focused on.

FHT, see top and well there was a time when you as soviets got a quick Zis, and either killed the FHT or GG. That wasn't fun.

Agree with Ostwind, the unit is superfluous at best. But again more of a poor design choice in my mind. The Ostheer getting shipped with the OKWs AA halftrack would be a better choice for design.

Panther, yeah you said it. Call-in meta is garden.

105mm? Sure add some too it, maybe not CONSTANT barrage but yeah it isn't getting used enough. Altough I wonder if that is thanks to the unit being bad at what it is supposed to do, or if it just to easy to counter?

'105mm meet 203mm Precision striking B-4, his little brother the Precision striking ML-20, their cousins the IL-2 Bombstrike and Katyusha (also precision) as well as their foreign friends the Priest and USF artillery. Play nice now!'


TLR I agree with the perceived symptoms but perhaps not with the cause and the fixes.

Legend has it that that bug is the sound of a Relic employee being shot down for insubordinance...

I thought it was a gun-shot sound to remind people of what happens if you break NDA.

As someone who recently did a 2v2 tournament I don't think balance is your primary issue. Rather you'll run into the problem of having to find and equal number of people who play both factions.

If you are scraping the barrel to get enough on one side you might have to settle for second tier players for that faction.
At the same time having an overwhelming amount of players on the other faction leads you into the problem of who you are going to include.
Will there be cherry-picking perceived good players or will you have a draw? The risk of having sub-par players fighting against really good ones will be there and that might be a problem.

Yup, given an end at, lets say when OP Uranus ended, Tigers would be the rare ultimate lategame unit. But most armour would be around mediums, which can be safley knocked by AT cannons and AT-rifles like Panzerbüshen 39 (I cant spell german) and PTRS/PTRD.
