Its not entirely working properly, AI Soviet can retreat as normal even though there is no option to retreat for Human Soviet players.

well, maybe you can start by telling us, which player you were and what your problem is. i watched the replay and i just don't get it  ::)

no offense, but:
soviet used lots of arty and mortar while wehr players looked a bit stubborn and noobish trying to defend with bunkers being bombed without even trying to rush the mortars with infantry... and then in the middle of the game the replay ends...
Title: Re: Balance topics summary
Post by: Chasovnikov on September 03, 2010, 06:44:56 PM
All expensive. Infantry, engineers are weak. Still don't have guns, mortars, etc.
It became better, but on former there is no capture of guns and mortars. >:(
The infantry in comparison with the first version became weak.
Manual machine guns aren't effective. All is expensive.
Models of guardsmen the bad.

http://depositfiles.com/files/bi767vfuh (http://depositfiles.com/files/bi767vfuh)

In the first version EF of an arrow cost cheaper and were more effective.
Light tanks (T-70, T-90) must be cheaper or more affordable.
Improvements to produce (Headquarters).
RD Tank Hunter-the ability of a horse with horseshoes medium tank.
"It is good against light vehicles and the sides and rear of medium tanks" :)

The impact OF THE ML-20 which bombed and impossible Firebase to capture. :)

the unit costs were increased for balance reasons.

soviet units cannot capture heavy weapons because of a bug that can only be solved by relic not the EF team.

models have nothing to do with balance, post something like that in here:

No one plays.

Я говорил, что надо дать возможность бронебойщикам (RD Tank Hunter) подбивать средние танки.

Пока вы наконец не сделаете захват пушек, минометов и т.д. - не о каком балансе речи быть не может. Тем более что на первых порах отрядам не хватает станкового пулемета (DS-39 machine gun).

He said that Tank Hunter should be able to tamp medium tanks, we need capturing of heavy weapons for the real balance, and we need ДС-39 machine gun at early game (or БА-3).

Tank Hunters serves well while you deploy soviet armor. IMO they're fine without MG, also seems that you don't understand that the recrew bug (http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=3397.0) is out of Dev hands.

Help the most epic balance issue has rised again a simple Volks squad can pick my Shock guard squad off 1 by 1. I saw my SGuards firing DP and SVT rapidly at those Volks but it seem that none was hit ( their HP bar still remain unchange when being fired) and they magically took down my Guards hit after another in front of my shocking eyes  :o

Omg

you didn´t even follow the simple rules of posting.

1.: providing replay
2.: more exact: Where the volks or the Guards vetted? Were they fighting 1 on 1? In which cover did the Guards stand?
3.: Did the volks have MP40 upgrade and were in close range vs. the Guards?
4.: Are you sure?

EDIT: just noticed you did post it in the wrong thread aswell
