Its not noobs playing vs noobs who scream imbalance.

Its the noobs who meet a better player who can play better.

Noobs will never learn and will always fail, regardless of the tools they have(remember first iteration Tiger Ace? People still lost, despite having basically Tiger skinned Ratte).

And when that noob will meet a better player with your way, its going to be stomped so hard and fast that his bitching on the balance will be remembered 3 generations later and the REEEEEEE will pierce the veil of universe itself.

This is why you balance stuff according to people who know how to use it.

Imagine if cars were made with people in mind who can't tell gas from break instead of actual drivers who know how vehicle works.

2nd part you're talking about is something completely different, its asymmetry and I also do not agree that asymmetry should be sacrificed in favor of balance and mortars generalization is the best example.

I believe factions should have different tools to achieve same goals, meanwhile everyone seems to be getting same toys patch to patch.

Brit teching is pretty quick. You will have the fuel after their 3rd unit (whatever it may be) so sappers are plenty viable...or do you not build any units after you have 3 units being any combo of mg/infantry/LV? And in live tommys cap territory faster than other squads (because why wouldnt they right? Brits and all)

It is, but its not menpower free, brits as opposed to USF do not get any free squads, but also have most expensive mainline inf, have lesser early game presence, which now is going to be even lower due to cap rate removal and these first T2 resources, especially against wehr, need to be allocated in countering light vehicle or a sniper, both being additional strain on the menpower.

You can get sappers quick if you rush them, but then 222 or sniper will roflstomp you.

Do you know WHY the cheapest infantry get that weapon? Its because they are and only ever will be 4 men. They have that weapon so that despite their small squad size they can continue to fight as without it dps falls by 25% per model (of whom are easier to hit AND more expensive to replace than tommies btw) tommies dont have that problem becauae they can diffuse the 4 man squad problem.

I think weapon racks and 5 man squads should be mutually exclusive. If thats the case keep brens big and strong, but as long as they get throw on another model (with health, a gun and presenting another target to disperse incoming damage) theres no reason for the bren to be MUCH more than a fancy model.you cant have an inferiour squad inferiour 100% of the time in literally every single way and call it balance. Let okw start with obers and lets see how that balance goes. Same thing, just a smaller scale with tommies.

Hence that weapon is vastly superior in stats and allows single model sniping as well as DPS improves greatly with vet due to 40% accuracy, which tommies do not get on top of having inferior LMGs and gaining less raw DPS in comparison to base long range dps then lmg grens do.

Ist almost as it is balanced at the end once you wipe tears and start to see clear the big picture.

If 4 men squads are such an issue for you, add super early 251 for forward reinforcement and These 4 men squads will Change in infinity men squads, especially now that you can protect 251 with freshly buffed shrecks.

Ist ALMOST as if wehr is not supposed to spam grens directly into tiger or panther.

PACK howi should never be standarized to a mere mortar.

With requierment of 3 men crew and being very slow, it always should be long range focused.

USF already has a mortar, 2nd one that requires bigger crew and can't retreat is not needed, its beyond me how did it even happened to even get the idea.

However only longer range will also not cut it as then it'll be vastly inferior 120mm.

I've said it once in the past, I'll say it again with a small update:

Was it up to me, I'd make PACK howi act as an actual, mobile howi.

Performance somewhere between sexton and 120mm, BARRAGE ONLY, 160 range.
Price, pop, cooldown, number of shells adjusted to desired effect.

This way USF receives something akin to other factions rocket arty, but not just a copy and it wouldn't be long term muni strain, like Major arty is.

Everything depends on playstyle, game mode, map and what opponents do.

4v4 are arty fests, so arty commanders are more common because they are easier there. CAS is more of a 1v1 or 2v2 commander as it requires smaller maps for planes to come faster.

Arty commanders excel in dislodging campers, which pretty much all 4v4 players are.
