Profile of T.R. Stormjäger

Well then go on and put out some arguments instead of being edgy.

Here’s a great argument:

It used to be like that and everyone hated it, so it changed.

It is just OP in is own category but I guess defining it as fun to use is more common language.

In a more common language you are clueless.

And the other half did want performance or cost nerfs. The CP increase will help for 3v3s and 4v4s and maybe a bit for 2v2s, but this increase alone will do absolutely nothing for the heavy meta in 1v1 because the average time for a heavy as the first tank in 1v1s is 14,9 CP on average. Even in 2v2s the Tiger as the first tank came at 12,5 CPs on average.

Hence why I voted for a performance decrease and a cost increase to match the performance. Nobody, literally nobody not figuratively, voted to make the Tiger absolutely useless. Now I'm not saying that was the intention and I agree you don't always get it right, but it's been 2 weeks since the Tiger nerfs in the preview hit and it appears we're going into the live patch with these changes despite overwhelming feedback that the nerfs were excessive. In case the patch scales back some of the nerfs, then by all means I'll be wrong. If not, you're all gonna be targeted by the community for ignoring feedback and doing whatever you want.

Do you actually have any test results indicating that they will be bad or are you just being a hypocrite?

Do you? Tightrope is a member of the balance team and it's hilarious and sad to see how surprised he was when he witnessed the performance of the new Tiger. For the record I also tested the new Tiger the day the nerfs hit and I posted feedback on how neutered it is, so this isn't me playing the prophet after the fact.

What's the balance team's process? Shouldn't there be different versions tested and examined by everyone? If you're debating for instance 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% AoE nerfs for the Tiger, shouldn't there be 4 different videos with the performance of the Tiger in each so that everyone can have an opinion? If you're all arbitrarily just deciding on the numbers without testing and relying on the community, then no amount of feedback will save you from bad decisions, but again I don't know what happens behind closed doors so it's all speculation, mostly fueled again by Tightrope's surprise when he tested the Tigers against the IS2 and the Pershing. As a member of the balance team he should have been aware of all details and performances before making that video.

I don't know, you tell us. I'm just making assumptions, you're the only member of the team who talks to the community.

If we pretend Panthers don't exist, then yeah, you're right.

Panther without HEAT can zone out a heavy but not kill it due to its low rate of fire. KV2 is protected by double 6man zis and lots of cons squads, so you're not chasing it anytime soon. You don't get to say what happens when you switch sides since only the KV2 from all standard 1v1 heavies isn't having its AoE adjusted.

If just having 6 man squads is so beneficial to having 4 man squads, Osttupppen would be the dominating meta.

What's hilarious is that Osttruppen have become extremely popular in 1v1 despite being trash in combat.

So uh

Lord, let rain brain... I am talking about blue-prints... there will be no change. xD

Give Volks also a normal grenade and lock it like Obersoldaten (FlaK-truck)
