Listen son, I work for a living, no mommy and daddy to pay for me, my car or my girlfriend so I don't give a damn about who you are, what level you are or how well you play, I, like most of this community, just want to play this game for a few hours after work and just relax a little, while you, like I said, represent only about 5-10% of this entire community.
So no, I don't think that we should aim to be like you, HelpingHans, VonIvan and the rest of the "pro" players, I have watched HelpingHans specifically and have played other games with him as well and I admire the fellow however like I said, I don't see why we should suffer and try to be like him in order to enjoy this game.
And enjoying this game means that it should be balanced, and it's only balanced around the top players, so if it were me I would try not to go to some extreme but try and strike, a balance, no pun intended so that everyone can be happy.
And by balance I don't mean stat changes which can be abused by the pro players, I mean actually listening to the rest of the god damn community and implementing compromising changes that the bigger part of the community can also enjoy the game.
And that shall be it until like I suggested 2 game modes be implemented, 1 for the smaller 1v1 and 2v2 competitive scenes and 1 for the bigger and more casual 3v3 and 4v4 scenes, then, I would fully agree that no compromise should be met as both sides would have their own "sectors" so to speak which they can enjoy.
But as long as we are in a single boat that only favors one side tensions will always be high and disagreements always out there, unless like I said compromises are made so more can be happy than unhappy.
Believe it or not, but that is what I always try in the balance team. Remembering the other guys that main playerbase is 4vs4. Also 1vs1 in not top 50 level.
But yeah most pleople are from 1vs1 section, who can have kind of influence of this game.
Tbf the tigerace change was for example for the casual player. Nobody in top 10 goes tigerace in 1vs1.
Because they needlessly increased the pop count on units I noticed a bug with the Pershing call in. If you get the required 600 MP and 230 fuel and have between 18 and 16 remaining pop available the Pershing will show that its available to call in but when you do, it will not arrive and your 600 MP and 230 fuel just gets flushed down the toilet.
You can use the Pershin call-in ability when you have between 16-18 popcap left (pershin is 19 pop)
The pershin won't be called in, but you still pay the cost and thus lose manpower and fuel

ADDITIONAL INTENDED CHANGES
Due to multiple people working from the same document, some intended changes were not communicated in the patch notes. The following changes are intended, and are live in game. They will be added or amended in the changelog patchnotes.
• Valiant Assault recharge time has been increased from 60 to 120 seconds.
• Volksgrenadiers flame grenade now requires an SWS Supply Halftrack to be called to the field. The Halftrack does not need to be set up.
• Medkits from Sturmpioneers now have an area of affect healing radius.
• Sappers are now supposed to be able to equip 2x Bren Guns from weapon racks. This was not included in the patch notes.
• The Soviet Snipers ready-aim time was incorrectly stated as 1.5 when it is actually set to 1.
I couldn't call in my Guards Squad when I had sufficient manpower (~450) so I had to delay and get an AT gun. Everything ended up working out fine but I thought I would get easily base pinned and lose :/
After I turn the game around in the late game, I get a sync error. To me, it feels suspicious because it seemed that my opponent was pursuing a sort of cut-throat competitive mentality, utilizing a strategy that would grief a player (aka goliaths). When it became apparent that he was going to lose (lost 2x P4s, one abandoned right outside my base, lost his 3rd or 4th Luchs) the game quit. I still got the win anyway, according to my playercard, but still, it feels fishy.
Anyway, biggest issue here is the Guards squad not working. I spent mp and when I got 360 mp I was able to purchase the squad (and did so).
***Edit*** The popcap limit reached bug seems to be the result of me not reaching 3 CPs (ninja change). I haven't confirmed that by watching the replay over again, but that's most likely the culprit.
All squads that can build things (sandbags, wires, mines etc), can do it from inside the building, by starting making a thing, not finishing it and going inside the structure that nearby. All items in build order will be built if they at least got 1 second by hand construction. Sorry for english. This bug was also pre-patch, same as unmovable/unkillable ZiS-3 bug that still wasn't fixed. Interesting why ZiS getting ignored every patch, same as forum posts about it.
LUL what? I have to test this out
And about zisgun. The community is not able to fix it, but we know the problem.
