Well, after a tough 4 way fight for the Elite slot between Obers, Shocks, Paras and Falls the Obers take it

http://www.coh2.org/topic/25382/fantasy-faction-iii-elite-infantry



Builder Unit: Sturmpioneers OKW 58%

Core Infantry: Grenadiers Ostheer 32%

Elite Infantry: Obersoldaten 28%

This round:

Unlockable infantry upgrade


This will be available for core and elite infantry.

OKW upgrades will have their fuel or upgrade costs adjusted into "real" terms



For giggles here is what our anti-faction currently looks like:

Builder: Rear Echelon Troops 2%

Core Infantry: Assault Engineers and Pathfinders 0%

Elite Infantry: Irregular, Partisan Tank Hunters and Ostruppen Reserve

The reason I'm asking is that CoH2:AA was in the top 20 last night which is surprising given the entry price and all the discussions here.

I'm not remotely surprised that people here don't welcome AA.

It's not for them, and they view this, probably correctly, as a zero sum game that means they will get what they do want (balance and bug fixes) later or not at all

You cannot get much data on play preference from this, as there are only two strictly faction related achivements:


Play 500 times as Germans .7
Play 500 times as Soviets .6


So there is not that much difference, though a slight preference for Ostheer of around 15% or so

Note from that that at the 3 game level, Campaign is the most popular game mode and twice as popular as automatch

By 25 games the campaign is least popular, but comp stomp is still more popular than automatch

It is not until 100 games that automatch becomes most popular, but still not much more than comp stomp, campaign drops off at that point


It is also consistent that TOW remains basically uninteresting

In the interest of disinterested enquiry, and as I have alluded to here
