That doesn't make any sense. Everyone else has very similar tech costs.


And I'd say the extra 100 mp for nades is offset by the damn free units with tech, no?

Also, dbl bars > stgs. And mainline infantry can get zookas (although volks having shreks is FORBIDDEN!), so I think it's fair enough, no?

OKW and Ost also pay for healing. OKW can only get it in T1. 100+200+fuel

The tech costs are just that, tech costs and they indeed allow for similar timings of medium armor.

However all allied faction pay side costs in large quantities of menpower and fuel to unlock nades and weapons that goes over the tech cost.

Axis just techs, allies have to choose what they want/need and that choice impacts timing of med armor.

His language was unclear and I don’t know if he meant it this way, but “top tier” can denote “the best” “the most superior” etc. By the definition of top tier you stated, the major, a 3 man squad with 2 rear echelon M1 carbines and an M1911 pistol, is a, nay, the, top tier usf infantry squad. Semantics are weird XD

I have provided my feedback about shocks and KV-2 in urban defense as requested, I have no problem and I am not upset, however imo the changes are simply in wrong direction.
I have also suggested alternatives.

It is common secret that the main reason for introducing Shock troops and KV-2 (and others units) in the revamp commanders is to solve "general balance issues" that are not connected with the commander being revamped.

That imo is a wrong approach especially since the problem with abilities and units already in scope have not all been solved. The same approach was used in the last patch with mediocre results.

Well, according to you, its not modders who decide what goes into balance and doctrines, but relic.
So relic have put shocks and KV-2 there, because they see it as fitting additions.
Developer knows best what is fitting and unfitting to part of the game it made after all.

Also, why do you think its a bad approach when they are adding and revamping shocks, but its amazing idea when they do the exact same thing with sturms? Are you now going to create a thread on how sturms aren't fitting, because they are added do the doctrine only to have them revamped as well? If you aren't going to claim that, you're going to turn out as a hypocrite(again).

Plus, you believe it was medicore results last time it was done, I and many others believe it was a good thing to happen as improving balance of as many doctrines as possible when being limited to revamp 2 can not have a bad impact on the game at all, as absolutely worst thing that can happen is we will see more doctrines being used.

How that can be a bad idea is beyond my comprehension.

The doctrine was made around a strong gimmick.
That gimmick was nerfed so many times and in so many ways it stopped being reliable all together.
To replace that gimmick, reliable units need to be put in.
To not have even more of already present and used meta units, non meta units were chosen and buffed, so they can fulfill a role of bringing doctrine to reliable state. If revamp and buff to these units means other doctrines will become viable in the process, there is not a single downside to the decision.

Well, then you're in luck here as well, because no one is going to be watching every spot on the map and spotting the field before walking into it, contrary to your own claims, do not happen 150% of the time.

Exactly, which is why I made my quote about how I wished THQ was still here and make CoH2. CoH1 was so much better balanced.

Umm, you do realize that publisher(which THQ was) has completely no saying in games balance, because they couldn't care less and don't even track statistics other then concurrency, retention and play time?

That's like complaining that its SEGA which is responsible for balance in CoH2 instead of relic.
