This happened to me this morning, while on the loading screen for a battle. I had to re maximize the game screen 3 times. Fortunately it stopped just before the game finally loaded and it played fine. I thought it was just weird until I saw this post.
Thousands of years my elder friends and comrades ... thousands...
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
Well this thread was about balance? I cannot talk about balance, I'm just barely an average player. I've only recently switched to playing OKW from Russians and I equally suck with both in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4. I've played people who can't get out of their base and I win easy and I've played people who roll me off the map with ease.
Some troops seem OP in the hands of other players and don't perform in mine ... sometimes they do. Sometimes I have great fun playing the game ... even if I lose if it's a good fought match. Sometimes I want to throw the computer across the room as my squads seem to evaporate at hyper speed ... you swear that the game is fixed, cheating what ever ... it's not. I'm doing something wrong and don't see it. C'est la vie.
