Profile of Lichtbringer

There is no hitpointgain per stars. At vet1 no stats are gained only the vet1 abilitly.

At vet 2 German vehicles gain a 0,45 received damage modifier. At vet3 they gain a 1,78 damage modifier.
Soviet vehicles at vet2 gain 1,78 damage modifier and 0,875 received damage modifier. At vet3 they gain an additional 0,6 received damage modifier.

German Infantry gets at vet2 a 2,25 armor modifier. At vet3 a 1,78 accuracy modifier.
Soviet Infantry gets at vet2 a 1,25 armor modifier and a 1,78 accuracy modifier. At vet3 they get a additional 1,8 armor modifier.

Therefore the vet boni for Infantry are exactly the same at vet3.
The Armor modifier inrease the durability against smallarms only.
The received damagemodifiers increase the durabiltiy against everything effictivly doubling their hp. But received damage is better then a hp increase would be, because your would repair only at half the current speed then.

But you are right that this will be changed, if that was what you wanted to say.

There appears to be a lot of small arms changes but apart from the lmg and G43 they are essentially all one broad but subtle change - a tiny tweak to the conditions required for infantry to kill another model. As I understand it while the average damage over time to an enemy unit is almost unchanged the damage delivered is slightly more likely to kill one man rather than spread the equivalent damage across the squad - the 'overkill' factor.

In laypersons terms infantry combat should be just a little bit more dynamic as models fall faster giving it a bit more 'zing'. I like zing.

Other than that AT guns have been generally buffed and the vehicle size changes are actually part of this buff.

That just leaves the KV8 and ostruppen - two units that actually did change more than the tiniest smidgeon.

NEXT week is when they change the entire game.

You got this a bit wrong
Overkill doesn't mean that the damage is spread over the squad. It means that every model has 80 hp. Now if a weopon has 26 damage it kills 1 model in 4 hits. (4x26=104) Now you just did 24 damage to much. These 24 damage are wasted and are called Overkill. If they change the damage from 26 to 20 it kills with exactly the same speed (20x4=80). Now you have wasted 0 damage.

The problem with overkill is for example in the calculation for DPS. A unit with much overkill might have a higher DPS but actually kill at the same speed as a unit with no overkill and less DamagePerSecond.
A problem that acutally happened was with the received damage increase of 25% for MGs and Mortars. With the 25% bonus damage some weopons needed less hits to kill a model. Other units still needed the same hits to kill a model and where therfore not buffed.
Because of that they try to bring the Damage in line and make it synergize with 80. For example 20 (4hits) ,16 (5hits) ,8 (10hits).

But they also modify the accuracy and rateoffire to keep the actuall killingpower the same. Therefor nothing changes, its just clearer and easyer to balance in the future.

For me to play teamgames this would be needed. Also it would fix alot of the balance problems.

But on the other hand, please take into consideration that there are many people who play 4v4 BECAUSE it's a spamfest and it doesn't matter what you build or lose.

If the ressources would be toned down it would come closer to a 1v1 I guess, and I wouldn't want to play a 1v1 were I have to rely on 3 teammates . (P.s. maybe not really 1v1 like but 2v2).

Btw, another mode would be funny. 2v2 but with 8 Players. 2 Players would play together, this would improve the micro by alot .

Well... its not like they say: Let's totally ignore 4v4.
They very well think about the impact of changes on other gamemodes, and often choose a diffrent problem to a 1v1 problem to not srew with 4v4 balance. Also they balance extremer cases in 3v3/4v4, but they don't finetune it I guess.

Btw: The whole german T4 is almost exclusive to 3v3+ .

Sorry i don't understand your reasoning, how changing the resource output or the cost to acquire affect the usefulness of a unit?

I dont really understand what you say? You wanted examples why balancing for 4v4 wouldn't automatically improve 1v1 balancing.

For example the elephant is already balanced more for 4v4 than for 1v1. In 4v4 he is somewhat overpowered. In 1v1 he is considered not very usefull, because he costs too much, and you need to combine him with other units who can protect his flanks and are good against infantry. This is much easyer achieved in 4v4 were for example a teammate can build Ostwinds. Also in 4v4 the general Choas is much higher and it is harder to break through the enemy lines to kill a unit firing from 100 meter distance.
