Alright, PM me your login details. I'll put your preferred faction to top 36 4v4 in 2-3 days and then you'll never speak of "ELO hell" ever again.

Isnt that a bannable offense?

Sorry, I actually played in the last 4v4 tourney and I know for a fact the Sov/Sov/USF/USF comp was the meta. Soviets Maxim build alongside USF airbourne was absolutely insanely good. Even teams not running that comp always had Soviets since their tools are way too valuable to pass up.

Yes maxims with pathfinder sighting is OP. Try it at lower ranks. The enemy will turtle and erase your shit with LeFH. Your team mate will have no recon or drop.

On top of that, Soviets are incredibly strong with IL2 bombs, katy, ISU152 and mark target.

You also will absolutely lose if you go ISU152 at lower ranks. You will have NO ARTY COUNTER. LeFH will erase your army. And try to coordinate your counter with mates who dont speak your language and are monkeys. Relic needs more ping options for COH3.

I am not even gonna entertain your dumb notion of soviets being bad in 4v4, they are a top 2 faction in every single game mode.

Uhhh notion? It is stats from TOP 200 player games. Again, 4v4 is not any other game modes. All other modes are a 1v1 situation. I explained why SOV are UP in 4v4 in the earlier posts you did not read. Which is fine. It is a lot of text.

Graph 1: Axis is OP? Maybe the players just suck at playing allies

Yes, exactly. Low-Mid tier Allied players suck at the game. So having even matched axis and allied ranks = axis wins. Again, SOV are the worst faction for ELO Hell.

- USF rifleman are trash.
- Brits will turtle and then drop after their forward mortar gets erased.
- Sov are too slow to be effective in 4v4.

See you are finally getting it. Nice!

"They give sight so it can be setup aggressivel" Did you mean firing from the fog of war at the very beginning of the battle, when you can't even see the mg42?

Yes this is exactly what I meant. Asymmetric balance. Are you going to also remove OORAH then? Because you will need to if you nerf the pios vision.

Personally I could care less about any of this. I am not against your argument. Just trying to put the conversation in perspective for everyone else reading.

And references to real WW2 do not work at all, otherwise you will open a pandora's box. The Germans have always been stronger than the Soviets, if you know even a little about history.

Axis was aggressive early, Allies over came later. Just the general sense of the war. Not talking Germany vs Russia in a head to head illegal in 17 states unsanctioned grudge match.

If you really are much better than the enemy, you will 2v1 them easily.

This is the heart of the problem. Are you MUCH BETTER than the two people you are playing against?

So you are level 10. Do you think you are good enough to beat two level 8 players. Especially knowing that one of those 8s is probably also in ELO hell and is really a 12. Because your team mate is a level 4 at best and an AI would be better.

And you are OKW walking into MG walls backed by 4 mortar teams. It does not take much intelligence to see, you will lose.

You will get curb stomped or only be able to hold your fuel. You will not be able to beat the other 2 players also.

I have 100's games where I have ALL of the points the team owns. The whole 4v4 mini map has blue units on the points. And we lose badly. I will bring my wife over and say look, where is my team? I have the ONLY units on the field.

I just played a game where we were losing on VPs and my team mate refused to take the VP. He chased the enemy away then walked back to his safe place and never capped the VP. He waited for me to heal and then walk back to the front to take it. We only had 12 VPs left. And he waited and let it run down more as he had 4 squads standing right next to the VP. And hes like level 7 or 8. Full bred retards. You cant win with these monkeys. The only VPs we ever had were taken and held by me. 4v1. I took right and mid, by myself.

So what happens in 4v4 is (if you are lucky):
- Lose 10% of games to bug splats.
- Lose 10% to AFKs.
- Lose 5% to map spawns.
- Lose 5% to RNG.
- Lose 40% to match making.

The easiest thing for RELIC to fix is match making.

People will always crash.
People will always go AFK.
Delete all the shit spawn maps and only play White Ball? Sounds good to me
Remove RNG from the game?

Just for clarity...

The pio design is two fold:
* Realism
* Asymmetrical balance

In WW2, Axis was very strong at the start of the war. Thus Sturms, Kubels, snipers, and pio sighted MGs.

In order for all factions to play differently, pios need vision to support the MG42. They give sight so it can be setup aggressively. Since they have good close range DPS they can then protect the MG when it gets flanked.

Soviets were late to the war and should be strong later in the game. Therefore as an EFA they do not need vision for maxims.

The constant "balancing" breaks the original ideas behind each faction. Which is what people complain about.

People complain about OP units until they get nerfed. Then other people complain about each faction playing the same.
