You know what is a bigger load of bull?

Investing hefty amount of resources, population and scoring some vet on a unit that can't retreat.

If you have trouble with brit emplacements, its because you don't know how to counter them. Its easy, especially as OKW, but its not like wehr struggles with MHT and incendiary rounds.

Force brace, soft retreat for 30 seconds, come back and finish the job.

L2P thread.

MHT still hardcounters it.
Single shrecked PG rip it apart so hard its not funny.

Countering mortar pit with mortars is like countering jagdtiger with SU-85s.

Plus you're greatly exaggerating mortar pit effectiveness.

You better get down from that high horse of yours, and accept it: The balance should be based on everyone's data/opinion, since everybody who plays this game, payed for it, and bought it!

See, this is where you're horribly wrong.

Balance is not based on opinions and definitely not on opinions of lesser players, we can discuss balance all we want and that is why we are here on this boards, but about 99% of this feedback here is, well, worthless.

Balance is based on complicated relations between game mechanics, units performance, army concept, its performance alone and in team games against usual opposition, the popularity of units or the lack of it, but it most certainly isn't based on anyone's opinions.

We can judge the balance by the prism of our own experience in the game, the better we are, the more accurate insight we -might- have.
Why only might?
Because even top players can say utter bs at times and be biased, opinions are always subjective.
You can have your own, but it won't be as important as one of Luvnest or Jove for example.

"But, but the top 250 player know how to play...." yeah, 1/20 of the playerbase... Why does relic want to favour a minority of the playerbase?
Putting in another perspective: A car factory should manufacture only racecars, because the 250 racecar pilot around the world knows how to drive it properly... sounds like fun to the rest of the world...

Because that is how it works, always did and always will.

You create balance with competitive players and high level play in mind, because these players know the game, know the mechanics and can use them to their benefits. Low skill players often don't see certain unit relations or even map details that make a difference, not to mention lack the micro and awareness level needed in competitive play, issues they often accuse balance of come from their own lack of ability.

You don't balance competitive multiplayer games around players who can't play the game effectively, otherwise you wouldn't have "skill shot" abilities in mobas and competitive FPS games like CS would have aim assist.

If we considered balance for the amount of people playing, instead of the skilled top, blobs would be considered high level, micro intensive play.

45mm M-42 counters light armor too.

Not really, it doesn't.
Its not accurate enough to even be a threat to kubel, unless massed.

Single one is ineffective regardless of target you shoot at and the moment you've got 2nd one, you've lost big one as single ZiS is much cheaper, scales and is effective vs all armor with added utility of barrage.

Single demo on the blobs way is also more effective then DSHK and 120mm combo.

How about the majority of other ranked players? I'd curious to see those stats.

Thing is, players who can't get to rank 300 at least can't really be considered decent, expanding the statistic through the whole population would skew balance graphs, because there is much more people who can't play and have no idea what they do then players who are above average.

In other words: Not much of a point to show data based on players who can't play the game.

The data doesn't come from OP, but from relic itself and was posted on their blog.
Closest thing to that, which we have, is coh2chart.com .
