One poll shows that in 1v1 Soviets are thought as being the most powerful faction by 70% of players. The problem is pointed out as Guard Motor T34/85 call ins and Guards.
My take on this current patch is that now Wehr and OKW are really screwed, as Soviet players can still spam 85s like always. But, now Wehr is limited to 1 tiger at a time. In essence, Soviets don't have to ever build any buildings and can spam 85s as they are not a heavy tank. Nice fix!
The game was getting boring before but it is fixing to get real stale with this fix. Soviets - why do anything now but Guard Motor as you can spam 4 or more T34/85s at a time. Wehr - WTF do you do? Spam paks? Forget about competing armor wise.
Only masochists will play axis now. |

For me - I would rather wait 10 minutes and get a good competitive game then be matched up against someone who is not competitive or someone I could never hope to compete against because a lack of micro skills on my part. I suspect that others who play 1v1 auto seriously would ultimately prefer that as well, but yes the player base is a problem. That said - an auto match system that has these issues is in no way going to encourage growth of the player base.

I've been away from the game for awhile, but I do like this game. That said 1v1 auto is in a bad state.
I'm an average player (1500 w Wehr) and having to play top guys or noobs over and over again is not good. For example, I tried to play several games today and the guys I played against are: 5, 15, total noob, 200, 32, 51, total noob. That's not fun for anyone. If you think it is or that it is educational your wrong. It just isn't. More successful games have tiering because of this.
Solution: narrow the window on opponents. If I am ranked 1500 with Wehr match me against 2000 to 1000 guys. Yes that will increase the wait time on games perhaps substantially (minimal player base), but better that than the current nonsense.
FYI - used CELO to get the rankings. That is a whole other story. :/
This game has a lot of potential, but is in dire need of fixing the fundamentals. See above.

1) I have to use CELO to get the rankings of players in a game. WTF
2) I'm ranked over a 1000 with Ostheer, and I got this matching in two games back to back last night:
A) Bananainpajamas - top 50 guy.
B) TORANO - top 70 guy.
Average players don't want or enjoy playing top guys. That's why better games have tiers.
3) RNG nonsense! Squad wipes from silly BS and planes that crash and take out tanks.
4) Call ins. You know - just wait for the Tiger to come out and ignore building anything beyond t2.
5) No one to play against but pros because there is no player base. See the above issues.

I remember maxims pwning the hell out of everyone, and being a proponent of that. They are still decent but not nearly as good as they once were. |

This is what happens when you make me mad. Guy was playing on a toaster oven.
Top 100 Ost player pwnt.
Funny commentary...
His comment - You know the whole community hates you.
My comment - The community sucks a$$. |

On another note: Shot Kubel in the ass with SU85 and it drove off. In another game, missed Kubel 4 times with SU85. |

1.5 GB patch and no fundamental change in game play. Big tanks are still too big and Jagd still parks and wins tank battles. Thanks relic. You should have hit big tanks w the nerf bat. |
|
Only played Russia so far but here is what I see that needs fixing:
Su85 cant hit Kubel or if it does hit Kubel it doesn't destroy it. I consider that a problem. Maybe it is working as implemented. In one game SU hits Kubel squarely in the ass, and it drives off. In another game, SU misses Kubel repeatedly.
No barrage ability with Zis or the SU-76. That's just kind of broken.
ISU doesn't seem nerfed in anyway during play. Correct me if I am wrong on that one.
Your findings / comments?

Just lost this very second to some beautiful maximspams versus him on Stalingrad. ;j
LOL - fun game. Got tired of getting beat down as Ost and had to abuse a little.  |
