Can we hear something official from a mod or a dev about the British issue?

[SiuYin]

Same here, Most British, some Korean or France, a few German/Roman, very few Chinese, never seen Japanese or Greeks

 

[SiuYin]

In general, shooters are OP, and British is the most OP one
In addtion to removing DPS bonus, you may also want to cut half of damage to building

 

[Navalis]

Yes! I have said this before on numerous occasions. Remove the ability for ranged infantry (all nations) to shoot over walls and much of this goes away...

Hold the Gate is 25% faster.

Garrisons will spawn first wave in 7.5 seconds instead of 10s and additional waves in 18.75s instead of 25s.

I would assume they would do it multiplicative instead of additive so the 30% is applied as the base. Then after that the 25% for hold the gate is applied.

So the 30% base discount means 7s for first spawn and 17.5s for additional waves.

Then apply hold the gate and it would become 5.25s for first wave and 13.125s for additional waves.

A tank depot will have same first spawn of 5.25s and all additional waves at 11.025s instead of 21s.

These numbers are based off of max AA spawn rates found on the wiki.

Of course, the very toughest, fastest war attackers we have seen recently are all German. But it is only recently with upgraded factory troops that has been the case, and it definitely takes time to see people change nations. Nerf British, and eventually the meta game becomes German heavy. Or nerf them, and people figure out what the new best is and go there. Except with a certain amount of player attrition, as switching costs crowns and annoys people.

Nexons biggest problem right now is getting an adequate atomic player base to release cold war. The last thing they need is to drive more people away.

Make switching easy and cheap, and then they can play with nations a lot. But the cost hurts the ability to experiment, so a lot stays static.

If you nerf the British, everybody will just move on to the next best (French, Korean maybe?).

To the OP, try tinkering with your base. Yours is an easy target, with more than 50% of your buildings unprotected by walls (including mills/markets). I'm around the same level as you, and my base has only been attacked three times in the past week (excluding medal droppers).

 

[Motaz Tarek]

yep that's what makes many players play shooters-howies easy to max their upgrades in univ

 

[Motaz Tarek]

yea, I don't care what special bonus roman/german/japanese soldiers have if this unit sux in first place, but germans are awesome for the rally and blessing they have, romans for the extra space so both still playable to some extent more than japanese and greeks

 

[JMoney]

It would be German, actually. Especially if they bring back tiebreakers being decided by clear time; Germans clear bases the fastest out of any nation. French doesn't bring as useful of an ability to war as faster and more effective rallies and +15% damage buff on every single unit in the army. Their army can just breeze through a base, even if said base has versailles and max atomic level barbed wires to choke the movespeed out of the troops.

 

[Tower]

British issue? Now we got the Roman issue. W Ethiopian coal, Brandenburg ,and davinci research they are unstoppable

 

[FroggyKilla]

Fix the range system. Don't get why it's different on Offense than on Defense.

 

[SiuYin]

In current World War environment, Shooter + Artillery is the most effective combo, and it is easy to max up in university.
Though there is some voice mentioned that factory troop is getting closer, but It still less than 5% shares.
And per my experience, Shooter + Artillery Combo is still much better to deal with max level defense.

Take a simple assumption that 70 shooters in the combo
VS Korean:
70 Green Jacket VS 70 Republic Rifle. People find that though there is some difficult to deal with tank, but Green Jacket got a better change to survive, and deal better to max level defense.

VS Chinese:
70 Green Jacket VS 70 People' Rifle. Obviously +1 range is far better than 5% DPS bonus

VS Roman:
70 Green Jacket VS 85 standard Rifle, 70 Green Jacket > 70 Republic Rifle(1.4*70) > 85 Standard Rifle(1*85) ,

VS France:
France got 6 more Space from Alliance Army, it is even worse than Roman (15 Space)

VS German:
German is a funny Nation. need to calculate carefully.
Teutonic Fury: from the description, it provide 15% DPS for all troop, but the Bonus is apply to basic DPS. that mean more research, lease significant the bonus
It become 10% bonus when finish University, 8% for Full Coal + University research.
The bonus make German got the best Howie, With full buffed, it able to bring down building with HP lower than 4000 in one shot, while other nation can only bring down building with HP lower than 3700. Which means for Building with HP 3700 - 4000, German is double effective, but not much difference for Building outside the range.

As result, German doing better when facing defense not yet max up (said level lower than 220), but British still better in handling lv220+ bases

 

[Motaz Tarek]

they r not designed to deal with defenders only, they represent a major part in dealing with defensive buildings, in any strategy game shooters play that role, if ability to shoot over walls are removed they will become obliterated by any building behind walls

 

[Manifesto]

He really didn't need to hear that!

 

[Manifesto]

You whiners want to protect yourselves against the British? Do your Uni tower & defender upgrades!
Leave Brits alone, BUFF OTHER NATIONS!

**Adversity makes us stronger, a level playing field makes us stagnate!**

 

[LordAnubis]

Agree. Im only IA (soon GA) and am able to defend against British pretty good. They no longer are able to flatten my weak turtle economy base. Uni research is key as is a trap and kill zones.

Im not looking forward to Global though as it opens me up to Atomic tactical heli raiders.

 

[SiuYin]

1. It is summation but not multiplication
2. Japanese will be overpowered in defense

 

[Manifesto]

I attacked a Brit base a few minutes and his Command Post troops killed 3 of my artillery!
I take it back, the Brit shooters must be nerfed!

 

[JuDomines]

LOL, weird idea ahah. Make the game unplayable in Atomic age, have the players leave the game and go bankrupt. Very nice plan.

 

[Quovatis]

Take a look at data from any atomic-heavy war. Chances are you will see 80% Brit on both teams. That alone should be enough to convince anyone there is a problem. This isn't just a passing meta. It's been that way for years.
