Profile of Stark

What do you mean both sides having similar level of units?

The Black Prince is a Churchill, a very meaty tank, but with a 17 pounder gun so basically on steroids lol.

So unless the Tiger is as effective I don't really see a direct counter to it.

You replay yourself with what i meant. There is no need to enter such a heavy tank section especially that it's unlikely we gonna see a KT and Jagpanther in first year of the game after release. It's really not needed to have so late war/post war stuff

But like I said I'm all for a little bit of fantasy if the Black Prince remains, King Tiger, Sherman Jumbo, hell even the Pershing even if the tanks that saw combat can be counted on your fingers since they entered service at the very late stage of 1945.

Same with the Comet, I'm with with even if it's in the same boat as the Pershing, but then again that will all bring back the complaints from CoH2.

Africa is sort of similar, the Tiger there will be the best tank probably in terms of stats as the Allies had no real counter to it there except for the few 17 pounder mounted on the 25 pounder carriages.

That's why I think either stick to history and disregard any complaints about balance which might anger certain people, or go on full fantasy.

You want to have fun with Africa war from 1941-1943, then Italy 1943-44 and you get tanks and weapons that doesn't fit that period. You gonna have Matilda tank, PIII so the best and heavies stuff should be Tiger I and Churchill M3 tank.
Some fantasy won't harm in multi but campaign shouldn't have that. It impacts immersion overall.

From a design point of view it would be better to combine Italians with Africa Corps as Italy didn't really have late game options. No good medium tanks expect samovente75.

I wonder though how they will allude to the fact that axis used a lot of retakenally tanks, vehicles and weapons. It was very common in Africa and most noticable in ww2.

I just wanna bring up that most valid and fair matchmaking is 1v1. All of us can name hundred games with your enemy team was rank 1000+ as me being top30. On higher modes it's even worse.

And yes, rank means something. If you are rank below 200 it means it's very very possible your loose game because of your mistakes or you haven't used tools that faction gives you.

Encirclement will probably not be change much expect breakthrough. Commander itself is design around last ability and without huge reshuffle abilities and their performance i don't see any window. Probably it will stay as it is.

CAS on the other hand is generally a fine commander. All his abilities are in good spot from performance perspective.
1. Stuka dive bomb great to kill arty spam. After it was removed from elefant commander it's left only in 2 commanders. It should stay
2. CAS single pass - great to deal with tanks, or rocket arty behind lines.
3. AI pass - great to deal with blobs. Very underused
4. Supply drop - after removing it from Lufftwaffe it's the only commander with this ability. It helps to gather more ammo for other abilities
5. Recon - removing it from a commander would be a huge nerf because it combines great with AT strafe and stuka dive bomb

Officer was added only in a luffwafe commander and we don't really plan to move also to CAS. Officer also has a AI pass as his ability so we would have to replace it. Don't see a need to do that if i'm gonna be honest. Commander recently is rarely used but in my opinion I don't see him as anyway weak or in need of total revamp or any swaps. Need some skill and prediction to call those abilities but if you time it correctly i can highly pay back.


Fortify armour doctrine will be looked into because combination of hull down and command p4 aura is very very potent.

Personally I'd put Stormtroopers in Storm doctrine.

Stormtroopers are already in 3 commanders. Jeager command squad only in 1. That's why we decided to add more rare unit.
