I like how USF-only players are talking about Panther dives on a unit with an 80 range barrage, smoke, tiny target size, 7 freaking speed, and with the durability to survive 3 hits.

I mean, I've brain-afked and left it sitting in front of double PAK and eaten 4 shots before, but the ability to introspect is apparently impossible for one-faction mains.

Moving back to the USF MP bleed issue I do like the idea of a reinforce cost reduction similar to Ost T4, which only gets unlocked with all 3 Officers.

Makes back-teching for AT guns less painful as well, which does mitigate one of the worst parts about USF (especially in 1v1).

Let's remember that because Axis players considered that a Jackson having a chance to bounce at max range from a P4 was unbalanced, balance team nerfed the Jackson's armor.
Because Axis players considered that Calliope was too hard to dive, they nerfed its armor so it can't bounce anymore and its health so it dies in two shots.
And now we have Axis players considering that the already heavily nerfed Scott is too good with pathfinder to nerf both units.

Seriously you're just like the alt-left lunatics dominating the media landscape today. Hyper-biased, refusal to accept facts, rejecting stats and only using subjective "personal experience", treating yourself as the moral arbiter of truth, and reductively thinking of the issue simply as Axis OP-Allies OP.

I was rank 67 with USF with a +14 win streak in the bullshit Jackson era, when its fire rate was still much higher, cost was cheaper, and it had a decent chance to bounce P4 shots. OKW P4 would catch Jackson in the rear and still lose 100% of the time. In fact the Jackson still beats P4s in 90% of situations which don't involve an amazing bait/trap by the other player. Just using your brain is enough - no other tank destroyer has any chance of winning in an unsupported battle when flanked by a medium tank - SU85 and JP4 may not even get one shot off. Heck, even 50 range tank destroyers like Stug can easily get killed by a T34-76. Jacksons having literally no weakness was beyond unfair. Even though I abused it and played USF a lot during that period, I was supportive of nerfing a batshit OP unit because that's the whole point of balance patches.

I get that having an evolved brain and realising that nonsensically OP units and abilities should be fixed is too difficult for you to comprehend, but seriously your examples are the most fucking idiotic ones I've ever seen.

Calliope got nerfed only after countless years of dominating and 100% of decently-skilled players who play multiple factions regard the change as a long overdue one. Walking Stuka used to survive TWO hits and that was considered super OP, it got nerfed immediately the patch after Mechanised was made more accessible for OKW, yet you don't see a problem with hyper-lethal rocket artillery surviving 3 hits AND the ability to bounce tank shells. I've literally only ever lost my Calliopes to Stuka bullshit that targeted my Calliope wayyyy outside the patrolling circle.

Walking Stuka got nerfed years ago but the Calliope was OP for countless years and FINALLY got reined in to still be the best rocket artillery in the game, and you think that's an example of "Axis bias" by the balance team when they simply nerfed the Axis OP stuff 2 years earlier.

That Bazooka nerf was a massive nerf so much so that the M20 basically disappeared from use after that and is rarely used now. The main reason why the M20 was good was because you could get 2 of them to inflict MP bleed that was not only cost effective fuel wise vs Stuart but was better than a single stuart while offering 2 bazooka vehicle crew squads which were useful at all stages of the game compared to a Stuart which has a 5 minute window of usefulness.

What is Stuart going to do vs Panzer IV? Nothing but Blind and hope it escapes however the 2 Bazooka squads could actually do something.

USF is ammo starved. Sure you can make the Vehicle Crew come out and give them Bazookas now but if the M20 dies then you just threw away AMMO on nothing which is why no one does that. The Ammo saved from the Bazooka was so huge that the M20 was used in almost every USF build and you saw the M20 every match. This meant you can get bars, drop an extra mine. No amount of buffs to the M20 made up for how massive of a nerf that was to USF which is why its a rare sight today despite it being one of the few decent things USF has.

m20 is still incredibly common at higher skill bands because it is a very good vehicle. The only reason it isn't used 100% of the time is because rushing Stuart to bully enemy 222s/flak HTs is of huge strategic value, whereas in the past the m20 was so batshit OP that it could simply force a 222 or even Luchs/Puma (which cost more manpower and 3.5 times as much fuel) away with the zook crew. Basically it came out at an earlier timing, cost less, could lay super mines, and could defeat all Axis light vehicles. It's insane how these one-faction Allied fanatics can think that the old m20 was even remotely acceptable in design.

That's about 68% of all balance threads here.
Remaining ones are vipper wanting to play a different game and communicating it through his balance blog.

This thread has tipped it over to 69% so I guess it isn't completely worthless after all.
