I'm not sure how a Soviet player managed to get British Special Weapons regiment as he had it on the loadout and was actively using AT inf sections. He also knew where all my units were and knew where my tellers were without minesweepers. I suspect a hacker. I watched the replay to be sure. The player is fairly new to the game and has played only about 20 or so games as Soviets and is lvl 16. Highly suspicious. He was probably playing noobs who didn't even know what Soviet docs were. He explained to me it was an in-game feature to have a Brit doctrine. I smelled BS.
As certified non-meta player since 3 months, I can tell you that this game would be balanced if allies players would stop this fukin boring meta play. Allied inf is better then axis inf in early and mid game? fine. Allies light tanks are better? fine. Allies have better infirect fire? fine.
But if each of these things is on the field, playing axis is just frustrating as hell. Some Stuarts/T70/AEC with lmg- or penal- spam and mortar spam on the field is just no fun to play against. And if you manage to reach the late game, this game thanks you by letting your entire inf getting roflstomped by land matress and CalliOPe spam. --> TDs and heavy tanks are your last chance as axis... but that isnt easy at all vs Pershing, T34/85 spam and fireflies with tulips
So one random game between top 150 players is representative for the current balance?
Dont waste your time trying to discuss with that guy... I tried yesterday in Twitch Chat but it's pointless.
He claims that 1.) Axis and allies are on the same balance level,
2.) that brit units like comets are completely fine for their price even though he NEVER played this faction before as u can see on stats and at last that
3.) "mortars cant one shot full health squads in this game, only retards lose squads to mortars"
-just quoted him
At the very end of Relic's "10th anniversary stream" for CoH they responded to some questions of the community . I was the first one asking "Are there any major balance adjustments planned for CoH in near future?"
And their exact respond in Twitch chat was "We are looking into this and plan to release a balance update, but not before the END OF THE YEAR. But there are only MINOR adjustments planned."
So all we as community can do now is either
a) try to contact the devs and make their attention to the current blatant balance issues and hope they do something against it or allow more customiziation, for exmple by implementing major parts of balance mods like the one of Generals Gentlemen, or we
b) surrender on this game
P.S. When I heard there is an update coming in early october I knew it will be a joke because it was very very doubtfully for me that Relic is releasing something 2-3 months before it was planned to go live.
Where is your Pak 43 Emplacement and MG 42? GPIIScotch
I don't see any advantage you got by your commander. [L2P]BartonPL
No shock troops and conscript. Besides, you should go T4, T34-76 for ramming or Katyusha.
You guys are good at control and micro your units , but basically no brain and strategy used.
No tactical at all.
Well, yeah. Allies are OP in all modes. Still waiting for a patch before i start playing team games again . . . . .
I dont like whine threads btw
Relic said that they wanna release another balance patch till the end of the year. God I hope so much that they have a realstic image of the current balance issues, or in other words: that they actually play their own game, so that their adjustments go into the right direction. Threads like this wont have any effect on that, I'm just trying to kill the time until that with a "special" kind of humour
