Balance In New Patch Is EXTREMELY AXIS Sided

[Ulfhedinn]

Logged on, played a PVP game, lost 500 to 0.
Figured, ok, mabye had a smurf or someone who was really good, maybe just bad luck...
I just played vs bots.... and for the first time in my entire history with COH bots on hard beat me 500 to 0.
Axis is now so oppressive the game doesnt even make sense... Im watching the replay trying to figure out how to get around the amount of shrek and arty and LAV push blob and heavy mobile anti infantry.... just done.
Im leaving the game until you developers can come up with a serious method to approaching balance.
BALANCE- thats the key word here. Things dont have to be entirely historically accurate they need to be BALANCED.
Im over waiting for you to give allied players an ACTUAL chance in the early game, and it ALWAYS has to be an uphill battle.
Now, with whatever changes you made to the Germans- its literally impossible to fight them.
Im over it.
Long LONG time fan. I think CoH was the best RTS there was. This now though, this is horrible.
Good luck. Ill return when I see the community is talking good about a patch for a change.

How? ALmost all buffs are for allies! Allies are OP this patch all axis arty got NERFED

[Ulfhedinn]

NOOOOO nope. NO they did not.
Go play. Guarantee you playing german YOU WIN A LOT. and faster.
Remember, a buff to allies, is not a nerf to axis.
They are pushing out anti infantry early now on a level I havent seen before, and its got new little perks to it.
GG.
The devs have NEVER addressed that actual balance. Which is that Axis early on has free gifts of suppressive fire units that dont just suppress but do A LOT of damage.
ANY engagement today I have played, I have to retreat unitis within seconds of starting the fight. I DO MEAN seconds.
And then its just catch up.
MAYBE theres a bug.... maybe.
But all I can say is that THERE WAS NOT ONE SINGLE engagement I won. Not one. They literally rolled through and took all three stars, and just sat there backed up by anti infantry that was killing units in about 8 to 10 seconds tops.

Please tell me what they are pushing out and with what abilities? Have you read the patch notes. Almost no buffs for axis.... Only the grenade launchers are nice now thats it. Allies got all the fun buffs..

Bro this patch has PLENTY buffs and changes on both sides. Germans got significant upgrades CLEARLY to anti infantry. Go play some rounds and watch how you roll through. Allied troops arent standing a chance against a single fight.
Im on match 4, and units are dying in seconds.
Im done with it. This last one here is the nail in the coffin for me.
When the community says they fixed whatever is causing this, maybe Ill come back. But this feels like I just paid for them to weaken me further, and make the game even more of an uphill fight.

Patch is so one sided in favor of Allies its not even fun....

[Lord Holland of Wessex]

There is another thread saying the Allies are OP and this says the Axis are OP now. I'm confused. I will will just play and see what's what I guess. ;)

[Ulfhedinn]

When I search PVP its 85 percent Axis. On PVE its 65.
that number alone says all you need to know. Players are a clear signal to what is broken. And Axis players can try to talk all the crap they want about how its not broken- but numbers dont lie. If 65 percent of your population is playing the axis faction, you have a 15 percent imbalance in your game.
SO FIX IT. Thats the only thing the devs should be looking at. Numbers.
But whatever travesty this is I just paid for- this is gross. I literally am pissed about this one. Whatever the hell has changed this deeply for units to be walking through my units and killing them before I can hit the R for retreat- thats not ok.

Absolutely, dont take my word for it. GO. I guarnatee, youre going to see exactly what Im talking about. The weapons combos for Axis just got INFINATELY worse to deal with.

For the new Battlegroups? Or existing and new?

[Ulfhedinn]

Im done though. I honestly wish I hadnt support this crap. im tired of feeling like a match of COH is a struggle every time because of axis LAV blob mechanics and axis favouritism by the devs.
I honestly have never EVER had a match where it was a clean 500 to 0 wipe in all these years.
This is a disgusting RTS at the moment.
They give Allied players a hand out with a 50 cal, then up weapons combo support for axis when they ALREADY had the ability to get more variety on the field before us.
Least now the game is over in under 15. Wastes less time.

[Ulfhedinn]

New battle group I think. Honestly, the games were over SO FAST, that we didnt even get to late.

Like literally, the matches were 500 zero for 2 out of the 4. And I think matches 1 and 2 were something like 410 to 0.

The Axis is completely out of control.

[Ulfhedinn]

Maybe there is a damage bug, and thats why, but like, 2 units attacking my units in cover... were killing them in like 10 seconds maybe...
And the anti infantry team weapons on Axis now are hitting harder than I have ever seen.

[Ulfhedinn]

So whatever, Im gonna go find something else to do. This broken pile of trash is done for me for a while. After a long day of work, the last thing I want to do is get pub stomped into the ground with ZERO chance of winning the uphill battle that yesterday was already difficult.
