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?

Hey MOD,

That screenie you have shows some good players on Russian also. It will be hard to take R3 with Ron, Bertie and others that I see on that list. You are just proving my point with that screenie. If there is talent on German, they have just as easy a chance to win as Russian.

Also, I have too played both sides of the fence. Yes, I play 90% of the time on Russian cause I like that team. I also have Barbarossa running on my clan's server now as a 24/7 map. I practice on mine as well. Are you telling me that you can not hop in a P3, P4 or stug and can not hit any of the Russian bases? If so, please let me know so I can hop on your team and show you.

I really dislike the mp44 and that is mostly the reason I pick Russian. Even when I play Harbor, I am 90% russian as well. If im German, I always try to pick off a Russian with a PPsh so I can steal his gun right away.

As far as counting the middle pak as a Russian pak, I would have to disagree. Most of the time im on it I have to always watch for snipers at sandbag hill. You Germans can get to that hill just as fast as Russians can get to the pak. You have cover, were sitting ducks! That pak can easily be defused. Therefore we would have one pak that can hit G3 only. If you defuse middle pak, the paks are about even.

They had some good guys, but I know they'd agree, we had them dominated that game. Our n00bs were better than theirs. We had them pushed back in 3 all game. Got in and planted 3 a few times. But with so many within gernades throw away, it didn't matter we had them on their heels for the entire time. They could still hang on.



BTW, that is why R1 and R2 get popped early. When German dominates, it allows even the most inexperienced n00bs to waddle on up to R2 in a tank and blow it. Perversely, a more even game would have meant the n00bs might not have been able to blow R2 so early. Often in a game where one side dominates that G1 or R2 gets blown fairly early by the dominating side.



Anyway Nothing, play German for a week, then tell me it's even.

Finally, we were all n00bs once, so I'm getting used to the fact the minor bases get planted. It bugs me sometimes, but I remember the first time I planted a base in Barb I was all excited. Don't remember what it was, but I'm guessing it was probably something easy like R2.
