1.2 Dutch vs Russians, thoughts?

Pvt.LHeureux · 2014-05-27, 05:06

So far I've played all the new maps, and each time the Russian team got wrecked. Is it the infantry weapons? The vehicles layout? The map?

On Hades Peak the Dutch get 2 tanks while the Russian only get 1, also the Dutch have more APCs I think, while the Russians get 7 trans trucks as compensation... not really fair lol.

Maybe Devs didn't have much time to balance it up? They told many times that they had to release patch too early.

We aim to balance maps out as much as we can, but with new things, it's possible the balance isn't entirely ready yet. Keep in mind that the focus of the patch focused more on the Gamespy update (had to get it out the door asap) and thus it's possible there are some flaws here and there.

Dutch APC's currently only have .50 cal machineguns, vs the heavier armed BTR-80 and BMP-2

That's true. However, the dutch forces have a Jet on Artic Lion. Slightly Asymmetrical Warfare, which worked out quite well on the NEW server.

It's a bit to early to judge the balance just after a few days, isn't it?
Keep in mind that players need to get used to new content, develop map related strategies, etc.

As with every new release, we are monitoring the game stats and will do further balancing changes if necessary.

Thread cleaned, it got derailed a bit. Let's focus on the OP and see how we can make things better, if that's required. Keep in mind it's only been 2 days now.

And I'm closing it. We don't balance out factions, we balance out maps

This thread serves no purpose at all. Post map feedback in the specific threads, otherwise the mappers may never find it.
