AEC timing nerf only helps Ostheer as UKF doesn't need a super-fast AEC against OKW anyway or do you built it to counter Kübelwagen?

Capping nerf is next to meaningless in anything but 1v1.

Valentine having a build time is a delay but nothing specific about the OKW/UKF match-up that I am complaining about. I don't see how this change fixes the entire OKW/UKF match-up.

The Hetzer and Ostwind timing is not insane you can get a Cromwell with the same timing.

Calling BG HQ "extremely powerful tech" is ridiculous and you know it.

As things stand, UKF will still walk all over OKW because there is simply no way to stop Infantry Sections backed up by UC, sniper and Vickers HMG. I don't want to comment about 1v1 but 2v2+ is MASSIVELY unbalanced on almost all maps and no one who is somewhat objective will claim otherwise.

The main problem as it is, is simply Volks not being able to do anything against Infantry Sections. This gets even worse when you add stuff like sniper which again OKW can't properly counter and UC which requires a Raketenwerfer which gives UKF an even bigger infantry advantage.

This hits the nail on the head. The entire early game is always an uphill struggle against UKF in teamgames.

No penalty, except massive pop cap bloat and expensive ass models which barely get any survival vet bonuses.
I dont get how people come up with the idea that sturms are these übermenschen which destroy everything after the 5 minute mark.

I agree, all off-map flare recons should be yeeted out of the game. Just replace it with a normal recognisance loiter.

I lost brain cells reading this thread, I used to play team games way back when it was a complete and utter imbalanced clusterfuck. It wasn't fun. It was shit. The best part was doing customs, but it always devolved into the same sleep-inducing trash that team games usually will be.
At least now it's playable and somewhat enjoyable.

You have to be genuinely delusional or be looking at the previous coh2 versions with rose-tinted glasses because Jesus christ, it was an unfun retarded mess. (Like invisible demos, Can't do anything to counter it so you had to blob your entire army behind a sturmpio, wow so much 'fun')

100% agree, large teamgames back in the day were always heavily favored for one side depending on the patch. It was common that 90% played axis and after another patch the majority queued for allies. It was always a massive imbalance and especially since there was the teamgame focussed balance patch it got much much better. You have to be mental to think teamgames were fun on the receiving end back then.

Things Quin duffy and Jason lee don't want to do: Still work on this game.

I don't get why we should leave this game to a state like Broodwar, when implementing maps into the game is a pain apparently and additionally only having like 5 people at most who make decent maps. (Because broodwar balances itself with maps which favour different factions, it had no balance patch in a decade or so)

I am very happy about the fact that relic even made it possible for the community to work on balancing. If you want to be coh2 to be "real" again, then write them a letter to make CoH3 after they are done with Age4
