I'm really depressed that Axis got the nerf stick as opposed to Allies. This is going to make the Axis' only valid 1v1 strat of Puma/Stugs near impossible against even an above average Allied player. You think the top 10 leaderboard is swayed toward Allies now, just wait.

Im surprised they didnt nerf the BAR and the calliope.

Well, I'll bet the AI is still dumb enough not to use engineers to cut the barbed fences, whenever I wrap a strategic point with barbed wire and they attempt it take it.

Updated notes:
This posted is dedicated to the balance portion.

I thought seperating the threads would be good a idea as the other is a long read, and this updated version could use the attention as it contains much more coherant notes.

http://www.gamereplays.org/community...owtopic=155330 is the original post with the updated information included.

Ah good. Im not sure if that calliope nerf will really do much since its the barrage thats devestating, not the tank itself. But maybe its such a huge nerf to the tank that you will only want to build one? We'll see.

For the BAR i think that will work better since it seems that the suppression BAR ability only really does a lot of damage once you get close. They should have also made it so ya couldnt suppress multiple squads in different directions.
