Loup I love how you've taken an excited and appreciative post on behalf of HaroldSax  and turned it into a flame post about T-34s somehow being useless and the IS-2 being OP...

Nice.

And Loup your argument doesn't make sense. Of course T-34s will be useful early on and will continue to be effective throughout the game as a quick, cheap, and potentially deadly armor unit. Like Burro pointed out, Panzer IVs or even StuGs aren't useless simply because the Germans can build Panthers now are they? I know both of em have saved my ass in many a game and it was thanks to their lower costs and quicker production.

Anyways amen to Harold, EF is looking amazing and all the devs seems to be doing great work so keep it up! I too just found out about the mod days ago and have a whole gang of friends who can't wait to storm the Eastern Front. For Mother Russia!

 Fhurion : ... Utterly apologetic on that, when I get fired up... eh. No, this mod IS awesome, and they are doing an
excellent job of it so far. I appreciate their dedication.

 And Contrary to appearances, I'm a fan of the T34 (And
 the StuG). I've played it lots in Combat Mission, and love it.
 My point was that it's purpose in being was RELATIVE to
 what the IS2 is. If the IS2 is too good, then the T34's
 relevance vanishes rapidly, and it gets left behind as it is
 now obsolete.

 My point was to please make it so that there remains a point to making T34s long after IS2 have begun making
an appearance unto the field :)  Better?

 : Early on, yes, but why pay T85 upgrade if I can get IS2 (T3) for same price? (Build support building then T3 IS2, or pay for T85?) was my point.

 the StuG is 4 pop. And quasi Pz4. So it forever remains worthwhile. The Pz4... I'd prefer having 2x StuG than 1 Pz4. Panther is my 'shield''defense crusher' unit.
Pz4 is kinda jack of all trades, master of none. It's real advantage comes from anti-infantry capability without
 sacrificing AT. At Vet3,  you bet I'll prefer making 2x StuG  to 1x Pz4(H?).
 ---
 - I've been pimping the mod aplenty within the game,
 on multiple channels
 - I guess my approachappears to be I bitch because I admire this mod, and I DO care.

 Because we've all been wanting exactly this :)

 : Expect me to be outspoken about inclusion of Finnish/Rumanians in Ostheer as doctrine-specific call-
 in units ;)
 
 Ford_Prefect: Oh, god, yea. Everything being relative,
 I won't have 12x IS2 on a 1vs1 map :) I'm just hoping
 there'll be a good-game-mechanic reason to have lots
 of T34s? (For such a massively-produced tank...) eh.
 4 pop? 6 pop? :) 0 pop??? yessss!

 ahh, I can dream, yes?

You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

why thank you kind sir (tip of the hat) if he just stopped with the enter button they would be alot more appeling to the eye and hence the smaller amount of space the less amout of reading a person feels he (or she) has to do (its a trick of the eye)

 - Feels not feals ;)
 - Oh GOD! A thousand pardons, the online editor, for some
 reason is screwy to the extreme for me. So I've taken to
 using NotePad to type up my posts...
 Okay, the last post was... uhhh. Fixed it, somewhat,
 I hope. Well, some write in gangsta, some ask questions
 without reading the FAQ that have been asked unnemerable
 times. I have good spelling. What if I haven't mastered the
 art of the perfect font and situational structuring? ;)

 I use Google Chrome/Firefox/Opera/IE8. Depending on
 what I try to achieve. I toil on my 2 websites, and it
 helps to see the results from different software's point of
 views.

 Currently using IE8.

 Grr. Well, hm, we learn by making mistakes, yes? :)

 Laughing is good for you! For the soul, for the heart.
 Why, I have a deep, rich, maniacal laugh. When I get going,
 people flee in terror, leaving all sorts of things behind!

 You can't imagine how useful that is in a close game ;)
 Yes, I play terror Wehr ;)

You want to build the T34/76 because it's an awesome tank.

 Well, the T34/76 is beautiful, has strong historical weight,
 and it has a nice HE effect. It's fast, agile, cheap and light
 for it's armor rating. Awesome tank :)

 I'd just like an in-game statistical reason for me to want to
 build lots of them, yknow? :)

 Maybe like M10 cost/driving characteristics, yet Sher75
 armor/weaponry. Oh, that would certainly make me
 completely abuse this tank in-game... ;)

 ... But it would be OP. Sigh :)
 The art of balance is finding the sweet spot in all of that.
