Love Wargame, but I'm rther unhappy with some of Eugens descisions regarding ALB.
I hate to say, but I indeed have the feeling that 'PACT is OP'. This is because the excessive amounts of cheap units. If you lose units as a NATO player, it is a hard punishment, because mostly, they are gone. PACT loses them, laughs, shakes it off and simply orders the same crap again.
Then there is a horrible lack of some units in every Nations deck. I mean, for what do we have the feature of mono-decks (i.e. one nation only) like Sweden, if they have like no AA at all except one IR guided unit?
(CAP as AA is quite ineffective against PACT. As soon as PACT sees "oh, hes got his precious CAPs airborne" they just send 3-5 cheap planes and bang, be gone, NATO CAP...)
Germany for example is a very strong "minor" Nation in this game, yet, why don't we have the F-4 Phantom as a fighter/bomber/SEAD jet available? The F4 was THE plane during this time in the German Air Force.
Or the AA. Brits have the Rapier. Awesome in real life (AFAIK?) and ingame it sucks, same as the 3-shot I-HAWK that mostly misses 2 out of 3 shots, then starts eating up your supply trucks.
Lately, they cut the number of ATGMs down on both sides, still it is crap. Bradley's now have 4 ATGMs, ok - but 3 out of 4 miss the target, wth?
I could continue for a while but... nah...pointless. Would be interested in your opinions though. Is PACT OP? I play Wargame since EE and always had the feeling that Eugen favors PACT in some ways... Can't say I like it...
Gosh, sorry for the rant but I really needed to get this off my chest
