Barb balance??? Options

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

What's the win ratio on Barb now-in-days. I bet Russian out-wins German 2-1 at this point. With all pak shots know, and Russkies having far more, the map has become unbalanced IMO, but would like to know real stats. Are there any?

[Nothing]

MOD,

I think your wrong. You can use any tank at any part of the map just about to cover or hit any base. I even was firing on G3 with a popcorn tank yesterday. I was in with Rommel tesing the map and discovered we could do it. The bottom line is does your teammates have the time to study where and how the tanks and paks fire goes.

I am positive I can use the P3 or P4 from German spawn to open any base and fire on any base of the Russians. The thing is to study it and figure it out.

The key to the Germans I believe is still the rush to their 1 and heavy hitting their 3 from there. The german tanks are just about unstoppable for the Russians with that tactic. Once you take out the Russian heavy near the minefield, its a field day for the Germans.

In my opinion, its all tactics and who is on what team. The extra paks that the Russians can use only evens out the Tank advantage that the Germans have.

With all due respect Nothing, you are perhaps the ultimate "Russian only" player, so your opinions on this seem more based on theory than practice. I play a lot for both sides, and if you put two experienced players on Russian and two on German, then Russians have the advantage, plain and simple. Germans can take the hill at R1, but they are open to be attacked too, and the beauty for Russian is that while you can back them into a corner, at least their best base is in the same corner with a pak behind it. And while it's true Germans have some pak shots, they can all be neutrilized by Russian paks shots in an instant which is what happenes when they have any expeirienced player, unlike Russian paks which are safe from pak shots...at least, the ones used to cover base plants, their two middle paks.



But you know, the original question was IS THERE ANY STATS?


Finally, look at this screen shot from last night. A few MOBS on German, and we totally dominated Russian...BUT we could not plant 3 successfully over 2 games. Switch those teams around, and Russian would have beat German in 10 minutes flat.
