Hey guys, thanks so much for the cast! I know the players are trying to win at all cost and they are using the faction and commander best suited to it, but it's obvious there is a balance issue when you see the same 2 commanders/factions in 99% of these competitive matches.

[@1987retroman]

Game has been horrifically broken for a long long time. I used to be part of a top-50 3v3 team and whenever we tryharded, we played the same commanders.

[@dudeguybro]

Can't say I've seen any strategy game at the top level have balance. When players get to THAT level, they find the slightest imbalance to give them favor. The thing that's great is it won't matter for 95% of the player-base. You can't have game developers flip the script for such a small percentage of the player-base.

yea, the AoE2 community does that very successfully in most tournaments with its civilizations. Ofter something like best of 5, pick 7 each and ban one of the opponants. also avoids mirrors etc and adds a little strategy componant regarding picking. works very well there and keeps the games exciting.

[@Dovahkiin62111]

So I got yelled at by people in Tightropes comments the other day because I said the meta is super stale and this tournament has just proven it to me so I did a count. Of the Day 2, 3 and 4 games, a total of 27 games, 10 games WERE NOT, Ostruppen vs USF Mechanized Commander. 2 Soviets (Asiamint), 4 OKW, 2 British, 2 German Infantry, 1 USF Rifle Company and 1 USF Paras. It's entirely possible that I missed a game or two but either way its very obvious that there is a problem right now. When I get some time I'll go through it all and put it in a spreadsheet to figure out the exact from all games, including day 1 where there was a good bit of diversity. It also got worse as the Tournament went along with none of the 4 games of day 4 featuring anything different and I believe only 2 games on day 3 having anything different.

[@samwu1836]

@@swahiliranger1022 I agree, just like a person can die off mentally and be suicidially depressed as opposed to physically dying with a knife through the heart, CoH2 is dying the spiritual/mental death. The issue again, has to do with very stupid choices in balancing and act of changing the balancing in such a way that we've deviated from original faction design without revisiting and possibly overhauling entire factions. I always say this, but if you take OKW as an example, they've lost way too much utility and firepower over the years without proper compensation, and players these days just keep complaining about them being 'OP' almost as if it were an ingrained habit. OKW tech structure is based on certain assumptions, for example, by going battlegroup and foregoing a light tank the original design stipulates a strong infantry unit in the Obers (who are now underperforming for their price and upkeep, plus they die super easily). Infantry have lost antitank (no other faction needs a commander specific, Panzerfussilier, unit to have AT) and when I checked old videos, it wasn't like the Volks had 2 rocket launchers, they only had the 1! So when you've got such obvious holes due to years of incompetence in complaints and balancing which fundamentally perverts a faction's core design, certain commanders like Ostruppen Doctrine for Werhmacht really fills those holes up... something which shouldn't be happening. Commanders should complement and supplement, not act as a stopper for major leaks in the hull of a ship.

Congrats to the winner and great thanks to all involved! Finally a balanced grand final, and potentially whole, tournament. No more seeing 5 allies wins vs 0 axis losses every single match-up like a year ago and up until the most recent patch. We can confidently say the better player won on the day rather than the player with most allies games on his side. If I was looking at balancing the game in the future I would be reviewing (ostruppen and mechanized) how each side/commander operated (ie. lack of mortar and various other units being used), adjusting for desirability and then aiming to raise each other faction + commander up to the same level. Current lack of other factions and commanders is regrettable, but when each player uses identical commanders and wins with and against equal times then it does, at least on paper, indicate there is balance (between those commanders). Only player skill is having effect. Here's hoping all commanders are so balanced in the future that players go in with their preferred commander into the tournaments rather than the ones that have the most tools/flexibility at their disposal.

Can we please get some balance changes for OKW? I skimmed through almost the entire tournament and almost no one played OKW. Especially in the later rounds where big money is at stake. Its so obvious, OKW is in a very bad spot. Last patch nerfed the Tiger, the one thing that OKW relied on and now OKW is gone. OKW has had very poor commander variety and especially unit variety. The next balance patch needs to have big changes for them! And make Königstiger worth building for once. Its such a long tech route but that tank is way too slow and clunky to use. Needs better mobility as it was always outshined by a regular Tiger.

[@SavinVitaliy312]

But the Königstiger is better than the normal tiger, it must also have its drawbacks. Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker.

[@samwu1836]

​@@SavinVitaliy312 Hardly. It's always frustrating because every time I see a valid point like this being raised, there's always some inevitably making a comment like yours. No wonder the game stays unbalanced while people still scratch their head wondering why balancing isn't happening. Every time a good observation or idea is shared it's just shot down. Look the King Tiger is not better on a practical level. In every metric it is underperforming. Its cost to performance is shockingly bad, the fact that many tanks can bounce the shells fired from a tank that costs as much and takes a long as the KT to come out is not only absurd, it's unfair to the OKW player. Let's be real people, to any Allied MOFO reading my comment, put your hand on your heart and tell me what right you have to drive an oppressive 0 IQ flamer M3 scout car at the start of the game while OKW units have 0 effective ways to counter it without using 200 IQ mines, PzFus snares (meaning the OKW player has no choice in commander) and insane pre-empting with a Rakettenwerfer, which slows down OKW's already questionable tech path and doesn't always guarantee a kill on the car? What right do Allied players have to an oppressive light tank, infantry with either face-rolling DPS (for less than the cost of a 4 man Grenadier squad, mind you) or 7 man squads with sprint and all the utility in the world? What right do you have to complain when people demand that a cumbersome, weak ass heavy tank that comes out 30+ minutes into a game receives major re-work? In the first place unless a player is throwing it's way too easy to spam medium tanks and kill a King Tiger. It's unacceptable from a fundamental unit balance level, it's also unacceptable on an economic level.

[@SavinVitaliy312]

@@samwu1836 It is vulnerable due to its low speed and maneuverability, its growl can be heard through the floor of the map. He has excellent infantry damage, range and accuracy, and is quite fat in health and armor. It's just not the tank that should break through. He provides heavy fire support for infantry and guns, and holds the front. He should not be imbalanced, if he is made faster, then they will cut his damage, accuracy or splash.

[@samwu1836]

@@SavinVitaliy312 Ok, let's go through each of your points. My core argument is that the tank is bad practically, but the most appalling part is that it costs so much economically to get a tank which performs badly. The Tiger 2 is good against infantry... if its cannon actually lands the shot. For a tank this expensive, its cannon misses way too often, and fails to penetrate enemy tanks' armour. The Tiger 2's accuracy is not really that good, even with Panzer commander. Its range actually isn't that good if I'm being honest, it's quite average and is the same as the Tiger 1 as I recall. Again, the ironic thing about the Tiger 2 is that while its cannon sometimes fails to penetrate MEDIUM tanks, let alone heavy tanks, the Tiger 2's own armour gets penetrated by enemy medium tanks more often than a tank of its price should. Furthermore, because of how slow it is and how easy it is to be snared by infantry, it can't even escape medium tanks rushing it. Now, if you told me that they changed the snaring mechanic in an update to only allow the snare to be applied on the King Tiger only after it's gone down to 50% HP, maybe we could ignore any other balance suggestions and see how much of a difference such a change would make. You say this tank isn't for breakthroughs? Are you hearing yourself? What good is a 23 pop cap, 720 manpower, 270 fuel tank with a 70 munitions MG42 upgrade if it can't execute "breakthroughs". Then can you explain why this tank isn't a good 100 fuel cheaper to be more similar in price to the KV2 (because the King Tiger requires an extra 60 fuel, if you need to back tech a mechanised regiment HQ after building battlegroup and schwerer panzer HQ) which is all about holding the line and consistently wiping or trimming 50% of a squad's health in one go? The point is, the King Tiger is not only too inconsistent, it is far too expensive for its performance. Yes I have had success with this tank, but only when my opponent is clearly stupid, or being outplayed badly by myself. Other times, I've been forced to accept that I can't put my hopes in the King Tiger. It's not a "push to win button". But if a player is on the backfoot and has worked hard to hold out for long enough, I believe that they're entitled to an opportunity to make a comeback using the King Tiger (or whatever they saved up for). The issue is that the current state of the game is essentially telling players to go f*** themselves if they put their hopes on the King Tiger. Instead, we're being told to build either overpriced Panzer 4s or Panthers against comparatively cheap, super long range and regularly penetrating SU85s and Jacksons. It's really not a good proposition. Then there's the matter of the KV2 bouncing shells from my Panzer 4 which is firing at its rear armour (this obviously doesn't happen ALL the time, but it happens more often than it should)... I kid you not. If 90 fuel medium tanks with low pop cap wasn't cancer enough, you tell me...

@AECoH I REALLY like your casts BUT you sometimes don't make sense. 26:40 for example: tank to get the engine damaged by an AT nade or Panzerfaust needs to get to 75%HP or lower by a snare. If a Panzerfaust or AT nade doesn't penetrate, it deals less damage (deflection damage). In that case with 2x Ostruppen fausting a sherman the engine wasn't damaged because they didn't deliver enough damage due to 1 Pfaust penetrating and the other bouncing. Both Fausts delivered a total of 145 dmg, while 160 damage was necessary to cause the engine damage critical. Stormless handled that well just by stating a fact that 2xFaust didn't damage the engine and didn't go into details after you gave your 95% health conspiracy theory. I like that you guys tend to teach game mechanics and lesser known facts to the public while you cast (CoH should be a field of study imho), but if you are not sure why something happened, don't feel pressured to go into details about it. Just my feedback. EDIT: Oh, and the efficiency percentage is garbo, don't look at it, especially on USF side where every time you exit your vehicle stats go places.

They are cheap, they are cheap to reinforce, they have a good survivalbility, under cover they are hard to hit, and they have a faust that can snare tanks, and with T3, they can have an LMG42 that increases their damage output. They can also build bunkers. They don't have as much damage output like G43 grens, but they have way more survivalbility and are cheaper. Honestly, Grens, unless they have the 5 man VSL upgrade are kind of worthless, and they cost 40 more manpower vs. Ostruppen. That's why you see German Infantry and Ostruppen a lot in majors. Regular grens, even with the LMG42 or G43's, are easily wiped.

ANyone knows how close it is to how real battles inn this time looked?

[@Greene362]

This game has tactical depth but it’s much more fast paced than real battles of the time. Something closer to real life would be Steel Division and the Wargame series.

[@maxshultz6502]

Panzer 4s anti inf aoe needs to be nerfed. 50% of the shots wipe 2 or more. It bounces, has good ho pool, it's too good. Sherman 76 and t34 85 are way more RNG. Axis rely too much on panzer4 to make plays.

[@tazzioboca]

Oh god, this game felt like a case of domestic abuse.

Why doesn’t coh2 have a pick/ban system with forcing players to use all 5 factions ??

CoH 2 is a great game but it’s the kind of game where nobody would pick the Soviets in a competitive match because they’re nerfed like hell.

[@planetary-rendez-vous]

Now they're picked every time. So?

[@ghost7344]

Bruh they afford a 10k prize but not a 10 men team to update the game?

[@J-IFWBR]

with 10k you can not realy fund a 5 man team + an office + equipment

Plz .make the soviets great again . Btw uk is a strong faction ...i dont get it why no one takes them .

[@Akeno0002]

Mechanized USF is stronger than any allied commander for the pros and USF as a whole has the ability to get past the pop cap.

[@mikerodrigues9822]

UK is pretty strong with the Valentine call-in, but Ostruppen basically forced the game to be decided on the early game. Mechanized USF is the strongest early game the allies can have.

[@rhythmmandal3377]

CoH1 looks prettier(well to me that is) because of the colours and vibrant lighting, CoH2 has more fidelity, more natural lighting and muted colours so it doesn't look as good(again to me).

[@nhifuu]

wish they would just buff up allied vehicles already. been years and years of coh where p4 spam is core of the game lol both players pretty much got multiple wipes randomly with them
