Profile of Clarity

While I did enjoy the tournament, I tend to feel GCS2 was better in a meta sense and also from a seeding and bracket perspective. I prefer online tournaments but I think the Round Robin wasn't seeded well and the lack of loser's bracket made the tournament end really quickly. On the bright side I think the players preferred a Best of 5 Grand Final to the Best of 7 or 9 from the past. Heavy tanks definitely need changes as they seem to define the meta more than anything from a commander perspective and light vehicles are still too strong and typically require either a vehicle to counter or multiple AT guns just to deal with 1 LV.

Right now my current build with Tier 1 against OKW is the following CE - CE - Tier 1 - M3 - Penal - Penal - Healing - Guards/Shocks - Guards/M-42 - T-70. You want to get the M3 out as quickly as possible to give it as large of a window to deal damage. Penals are alright in their current state but I don't really go for more than two squads due to lategame scaling issues.

I honestly would be fine if they tied the 81mm Mortar in Lend Lease to either Tier 2 or the AEC sidetech.

i think if the UKF has to side tech for one more thing I'll explode XD

I was saying the AT Nades could be in a bundle with the Mills bombs and just slightly increase the price to 150 mp 15 fuel.

I don't actually think the Flak is bad for it's timing at the moment but I feel like Battlegroup HQ is too expensive in general at the moment. If you think about it, it's 70 mp 15 fuel for the truck, 200 mp and 25 fuel to drop Battlegroup and 100 mp 15 fuel for medics. That ends up being 370 mp and 55 fuel just for healing access. This delays the Flak Halftrack heavily in my opinion, if the Battlegroup was lets say 150 manpower instead of 200 and the truck came with the medic upgrade you could save 15 fuel and 150 manpower which could help you tech quicker getting Obers out faster or being able to rush the Flak HT without having to skip out on healing. The Flak comes to late if you get medics first and the rest of the truck doesn't really help with the Retreat Point being overpriced. ISG's are nice but when you could have the Luchs and the Puma you would take them instead. Mech at the moment is essentially 270 mp 60 fuel, meaning you spend 5 more fuel but you save 100 manpower which is more noticeable. Mech is generally cheaper and has better units resulting in more people going for it, the truck only becomes more expensive when you spend 100 mp 15 fuel on the mechanics but people don't tend to do this in the early game since repairs aren't as big of an issue.
