A defensive structure tab is desperately needed and perhaps concrete slabs could be put in it as well. Completely agree with this. I can't comment further on the MP balance but I do want to highlight one issue I have, and that is disappearing vehicles. In the TD and RA mod, when a vehicle dies that...

Ok so to simplify things, this PR will only adjust shock troopers.

100hp -> 60hp

If that is not enough, more adjustments can come in later PRs.

So nothing is going to change for upcoming release? I just closed the PR following feedback to make changes. I will change this first PR to balance the two most unbalanced factions; Russia and Germany. Shockie 100hp -> 60hp (now dies from parabombs and a pillbox burst) $400 -> $500 Adv Chronosphere...

If the latter is true then the yaks do get a big buff, the spread increase is ~130% (128 to 298) This is correct. On the latest release group 5 infantry in a cell and attack the center infantry. Almost no damage is inflicted to the rest of the infantry in that cell . With this change a burst will t...

and 1 rank isnt much of a difference ... so it won't effect the gameplay in terms of balance I think its a great feature, but I wouldn't say giving various stat multipliers to an entire force of units won't affect gameplay in terms of balance - quite the opposite. Not to mention allied troops will ...

I don't think the health thing will change things when you get overrun by shockies. I think the hp nerf is needed. 100hp is way too much. Currently they can survive 2 bursts from a hind. With 80hp they can only survive the one. If they are still OP I would like to see their health reduced further d...

Well I went ahead and submitted a pull request https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/9085 This first PR is basically to address OP shock troopers, buffing a couple units to compensate as well as making the hijacker useful. I picked various members suggestions of stats that were generally agreed by m...

Changing some yaml rule values for balancing reasons isn't really introducing features. Traditionally those are always done last minute, because everyone keeps complaining, but no one feels responsible for actually filing a patch. You mean a pull request with the balance changes? I thought there wa...

And then Soviet players catch onto this and start destroying the oil derricks instead of taking them Very true but hard against good allied players. When an allied player pounces, its with destroyers and hind blob at the very least. Good allied players will micro the destroyers around the islands a...

Let's say you have 3 flak trucks on an island plus a few rockets troops. You think that's easy for a couple of hinds? Or how many would be needed? Depends on sight and line of attack. One hind can wipe out all of those units (ammo withstanding) as it has been highlighted before that those units hav...

tl:dr; For cost, tech level, hp, separate production capability and lack of multi role attack capability, Migs make the most sense having AA capability. AA missile subswould be a very late game and expensive unit. They wont help at all if allies have taken a body of water with air and naval at rada...

Don't forget, the hinds can still dodge missiles if their user is paying attention, then fly out to find the sub. I think it is more reasonable than a nearly unavoidable airstrike of MiGs. Phrohdoh has suggested Yaks in the past, which would be a better trade than MiGs imo. Unavoidable? Except for ...

Twitch is always temperamental for me, esp re-watching previously cast vids. Do you plan to upload some of the highlight games to your YouTube account again?

Also specifying a timezone as other have suggested would be nice.
