Whereas the brutally simple T34 just kept on going and it wasn't simply a numbers thing, though the latter was apparently a pig to drive. But, they were delivered in a package that was expensive to manufacture, powered by an engine and transmission intended for a vehicle barely half the weight and whose interleaved wheels tended to clog with freezing mud on the Eastern front. where WWII German equipment looks good on paper, it can be less good IRL so looking at their tanks, there's no denying that the guns were excellent and paired with superb optics, the armour was thicker and of better quality and so on. I think it's not just that: there's so much exaggeration about particular elements that the picture becomes very distorted, and I think there's a risk that we're replacing The Myth of German Awesomeness regarding their engineering with a new myth of The Soviets Did It All. Mainly soviets had an massive amount of troops and vehicles.

For eg, during World War two, German had by far the best tanks and the best planes, but Allies, numbers.

In a MP game, sure, you need to artificially nerf and balance things, but ina SP game where the PC can control a lot of party members, the worst thing that can happens is have an companion/class that people only uses on challenge runs.Īn SP game will not fail because he is unbalanced.Īnd in some cases, balance goest against immersion. On Falklands war, British had much better equipment. Few hundreds of Spanish Conquistador managed to defeat civilizations of natives due the fact that natives din't had bows capable of punching their steel armor and they had mounted arquebusiers capable of hitting an Amerindian at 500m. Or an game that happens in Battle of Agicourt, an small group of archers outnumbered by several times(around 9k vs 36k according to wikipedia) defeated knights and cavalry on heavy armor due positioning and terrain advantages. An multi player game where one side has 8 tanks but another has an tank with much more firepower, maneuverability and armor that can deflect much more projectiles would be insanely broken. One with more "modernized"mechanics and other more close to pnp under the limitations of the technology.Īnd in some cases, balance goest against immersion. Please Greeks and Trojans will be almost impossible. Even among the Divinity fans, some liked the new "armor system" and some disliked. An solution is have alternative rules and make it optional. An BG fan will see it as "makes sense, is a medusa", but an D:OS2 would probably think that this is an unbalanced broken mechanic. Imagine an monster that can cast Flesh to Stone spell or spell like ability that insta petrify on failed save. Well, the last seasons that had no relation with the book are the worst ones.īut Larian had an hard challenge ahead.
