Bitzkrieg mod - is it worth it?

[pariah]

Yeah, i don't much like the realistic damage, either. It's annoying enough losing a unit in the normal game because i'm busy micromanaging another battle, but with realistic damage, you would barely get a chance to hit Retreat! And can you imagine the Tiger blowing your Shermans away from across the map!?

[Tankbuster]

Guys, You seem to forget that the infantry battles are more fun as well. Cover becomes more useful. You can actually win with volksgrenadiers.

thanks for the feedback , i've downloaded it and played one round, but i don't really like it.

why can a sherman kill a hetzer in the same time it takes for it the otherway around?

the stug is way OP, i just sat it there and it didn't die, even against 3 squads of rangers?!   

tank destroyers now hold no advantege over normal tanks due to the increased range of all units,

And the farther zoom out has left one side of the screen where i can see the environment but am unable to see the troops?

i think i will wait for a new version to come out and hope that it is more balanced. Until then, Eastern front is what i shall be playing

[HerrVoss]

My dead honest opinion, blitzkrieg is better than EF, at the moment. This is because I am a primarily axis player but I know that Ostheer is coming I think it will make this my favorite mod. I believe in this team so much that I donated because I believe they will do the best job possible. That is my stand on the matter.

[RedGuard]

I don't know what it is with Company Of Heroes and all this imbalance. Even the dedicated modders can't seem to get it right...

everythings unbalanced because the remainder of the players of this dead game are all axis fanboys

[pariah]

You've got it backwards, there - There are so many Axis fanboys because the Axis are overpowered.

And what do you mean by "dead game"?

[RedGuard]

modders have the power to right the wrongs, so if axis remains overpowered its because they have overwhelming support for it to remain so

touche

dead because the fanbase is a tiny fraction of the glory of its once former self

[pariah]

Yes, but the Eastern Front devs don't have the will to change the relic factions.

I can't say anything of the fanbase, though. I can say, though, that i will never leave this game for many years to come.

BK mod is awesome. Though I can't compare it to EF. Those are two totally different mods.

Axis isn't OP. They might have bulidable Tigers, but hey! I have my 25 pdrs, 17pdrs, 155mm Long Toms, Airstrikes, M36 sluggers, Fireflies, M10 Achilles, Pershings, Mines, Rangers and hell lot of stuff to deal with the big cats. The only problem is the fact, that people use wrong units to deal with them. BK isn't unbalanced.

[Crinkle]

the british tanks are actually now useless.

apart from the firefly, which takes like 7 cp to unlock ontop of 100 fuel each one. Thus by the time you manage to build some the readily constructible stugs of the axis have already killed you off.

any team other than the axis only really has a chance on bridge maps, which kills gameplay anyway, going from what i've heard and my limited experience.

i do like the new infantry units though.

[RedGuard]

yeah you cant beat units when the designed counters are useless

[Blackbishop]

What i think of BK is that has a huge learning curve, perhaps that's what make it looks like is not balanced. Of course, I'm not saying it has the ultimate balance but i think it's fine for it's goals.

fight StuG with flanking Cromwell tanks, Piat squads ( bren button and then charge! or use tank to drive behind it), 6pdr at gun or 17pdr - it won't slow your teching, and will provide Tiger-killing power.

[megaboy]

bk is a great mod... i like realism... yes, axis is overpowered but if u know how to use cw and us its very easy to beat them... with bk pe and cw are useful now (especially pe)... and if u cant beat a stug 4 u probably dont know how to play....

[pariah]

Admittedly, there would be quite a learning curve with such drastic changes to the gameplay. Hell, even Eastern Front has a decent learning curve, because you have to learn a whole new army and A.I.!
