That pop you hear before logic fills your ears is the sound of you pulling your head from your ass.
How many crewmen are on a Flak? The answer is 3. 5 for the gun and 1 for the crew. Population = 8(Situation no change)
Learn English. Crew refers to the entire group of 3 persons. If you refer to crewmen being 1 pop each, then state CREWMEN. Take you own advice.
P4 IST is performing where it should be. Infantry rape.
No. You don't play enough games to know how OP it is.
Hetzer is a decent Medium tank but it is nowhere near one of the best. The M10 still holds claim to that title.
Likewise, no. You don't even play this game enough to know how good it is. It is one of the best in terms of pop & cost effectiveness, combined with elements of the TH doctrine.
M10, even with HVAP doctrine does not come close.
Thompson price is fine. We're not going to crash balance here and bottom out Elite infantry prices. On that note we're not going to assume the vCoH changes will require massive price tweaks. Subtlety is the key and prices are in place to be changed if and when the time comes.
Did you hear the pop yet?
Its not crash balancing. Its simply statistics and the effectiveness of the thompson SMG against all other units.
I fully agree vcoh changes do not require massive price tweaks, since when did I ever said that? They WOULD require tweaks eventually, depending on whether you realise it or not.
Subtlety is one thing that EiRR never has. Balancing has always been done with a sledgehammer or under-done. Some units like Puma and puma-upgun has rarely ever seen the light of the day and if it does, it just doesn't help but feel that its unviable.
And yeah, I did hear the pop... the pop of your stupidity crashing down on me
1. Ranger SMG >> 2 MP40 volk squads unless you charge them while they are in green cover and you sit there in no cover wondering why you don't win
1 Ranger SMG charges 1 Mp40 volk in heavy cover, ranger SMG completely wiped out with zero casualties on volk mp40. Granted ur charging heavy cover, but it shouldn't have 0 casualties and be completedly wiped out. Mp40 volk was down to 50% hp.
And Ranger SMG is lousier than 2 mp40 volks btw. You just need 2 Mp40 volks to sit at mid range and they'll out DPS rangers cause med range DPS of 10 Mp40s > 4 Thompsons.... massively.
3. It used to have guaranteed penetration of hetzer, now it has same pen as it has vs stug.
Stug is nowhere as good as a hetzer.
4. Commando Sniper mainly just OP vs PE but thats mainly becuase PE dont have the countersnipe option, they have to do a schrimwagen/scout car rush, that doesnt mean I want a PE sniper though
Thats where you're wrong. Snipers are almost useless against PE players nowadays because very few of them are running an infantry heavy build because BARs which are unsurprisingly common, rape the shit out of PE inf as a result of the inf armour change.
They are mostly running mechanised builds, jsut inf HTs, mortar HTs and mostly vehicles.
Command Sniper beats the entire wehr hands down.
7. If we haven't even used the units yet, how are they supposed to balance it correctly? T17 cost less but thats mainly it.
You don't always need to use units to know the implications of stat changes. Small tweaks can always occur first for obvious stuff. A "difficult" one would be ATGs as nerfing accuracy vs ATGs are both a nerf and a buff. Its a nerf because u can't kill ATGs but its a buff because ATGs now can't kill your ATGs when decrewed etc. However EiRR has already implement changes in this respect so it isn't very clear how much of a "change" there is to existing modifiers.
