The unit received a number of buff and more consistent damage. I actually use it more now, since it easier to keep alive.
It was no problem to have stug-E deal consistant good damage before the patch if you simply had the tank stationary. Now even hits does not even kill models and it still misses a fair bunch... not to mention its slow rate of fire make it useless... there will never be a case where StugE will be a better choice than an ostwind or p4 now.
Stug-E is basicly USELESS now... was the change to them supposed to be a buff? Their slow rate of fire and low damage... why would i ever pay for that crap? The change was obviously made by a allied player in the mod team.
No other army can lose so quickly to RNG as ostheer... even if you retreat your squads when they lose a single model they will STILL get wiped at 3 man from random tank shell, mortar etc at late game... it is all just based on luck. But thats how the game is designed.
Relic noticed everyone wanted to play as the national socialists when player searches was 90% axis all the time so they had to nerf them into the ground so the "cool" army that everyone wants to play is the most difficult one so now player search is more 50% axis 50% allies.
Even battlefield 5 face the same problem... everyone would always pick axis so they made it impossible to choose side and all axis weapons are available for allies too.
mg's should not have to be microed? Oh you are one of those guys who thinks they are tactical geniuses but blames it on their inability to micro when nothing goes according to plan. Units should micro themselves.... tanks should auto-reverse when at 20% health and infantry should auto-grenade at clustered units but infantry should also auto-dodge incoming grenades and so on ofc.
Wow, most of you guys behave like little children in this thread, wtf is wrong with you?
If I read stuff like this
I imagine someone like this
now crying in his mom's basement into his Obersoldaten Waifu pillow because it is sooo unfair.
Get yourself together, if somebody told me some years ago that AoE4 will come, I would have cried tears of joy. I'll be so unashamed and quote myself from another post I wrote some minutes before.
You are the definition of a fanboy. Cry of joy for a video game? Grow up.
I will talk shit about AoE4 because relic are greedy and fucking over their playerbase who took the time to make a patch for them and they won't even bother QA and deploy it. Not to mentioned they promised us 5 years of robust support for Company of Heroes 2 because it was supposed to be a "service". We got 4 years if we count last years of community support as Relic support lol.
I think you guys miss the fact that CoH2 is 4 years old now. And since the release of the Brits, there was no real income this game created. Sure, you can buy commanders and skins with real money, but I honestly don't think that there is much left to get.
The game itself is in a pretty nice state now, sure it is maybe a bit rough to let go of FBP so abruptly but keep in mind that Relic also has to make money. There were a lot of cuts before and after DoW3 because it flopped so badly so I think it is in terms of management the right decision to let go of a game that is so old. Other companies like Ubisoft and Activision don't support their games for more than half a year, we can be glad.
Otherwise it is not fair to say that AoE4 will suck because there is also Microsoft behind it which knows that the Age of Empires franchise is one of the most precious gaming franchises in existence (everyone somehow got in contact with AoE2).
And who says that AoE4 won't be what many of us hope in terms of CoH3?
You are putting Relic to EA games standard, im putting them to valve/blizzard standard and they don't leave their game broken and move on.
