Don't forget uber sniper and the lack of inf-wiping vehicles, only PE got notable 222 and its armor is like wet tissue, Wehr Puma comes late as hell unless you skip T2. All in all, vCOH support weapon is a lot more effective than COH2, as a result we got megablobbing.

Actually, blobbing is worse in coh1.

sweet overreaction from the allied fanboys love it they will every axis unit to death still complain about the being op and here a legitmate nerf is being met by hyperbole,,,also when can we expect balance mod preview release notes

That is quite rich, coming from someone who managed to fill a sea of tears while chanting for allied nerfs constantly.

Plus, if you'd wiped the tears, you could see more clearly and read that no one is crying, but stating that relic didn't fixed any issues, but put band-aids that won't fix or change nothing.

Its not about going from one extreme to another.

Its about relic not being able to separate satchel, demo charge and gammon bomb from normal nades.

Therefore, either all infantry 'throwables' are satchels vs buildings or none is.

But something went wrong in between Maxim has assumed the role of core infantry rather than support weapon in this version (and many times in history versions). It's not because Cons are worthless (which they are not), it's just Maxims are just great. Once upon a time Maxim squad equals to a 6-men con armed with Maxims HMG with same price as Cons, no wonder players don't need cons. For example u can build a Panzerabwehr volk squad with 1 schreck for 255 mp will you still build vanilla volks? Of coz not.

Actually, reasons for maxim meta are multiple and maxim itself is just one of them.
As I've said, direct and indirect nerfs to cons made them unusable, despite rec acc buff anything still rolled over them is one reason. You're still doctrine dependent if you want to use cons at all for anything else then cappers, AT nades and opponent vet source.

Another is, people got fed up of playing same 2 doctrines over and over and over and over again for YEARS, because you need shocks and IS-2 or guards and 34/85. Come gardening on! Each time non guard motor/shock rifle doc was valid, it got nerf butchered next patch. Tank hunters penta nerfs(direct and indirect) anyone?

3rd reason is, T1 should be AI focused alternative to all-around T2, but due to penal state, snipers losing effectiveness from patch to patch, M3 being garbage and huge doctrinal dependency, increased viability and potency of axis light vehicles the whole early game tier got pretty much removed from the game.

All of that added up to people using maxims as mainline infantry, we can't play same guard motor doc for 4 years without going insanse(see cpt molo).

We will feel this nerf, but meta will remain unchanged.

People will still spam maxims, because there is no other valid option.
The nerf is lazy band-aid fix on a more severe issue.

Land mattresses still 350mp at 5 cp. LOL, gg relic.

You remember it costs 50 fuel as well, right?
