About re-balance of PLA faction

[South]

Since we're involving new faction (PLAGF amphibious assault division/PLAN marine corps), there's some issues of "separate" original PLA faction and re-balance two PLA factions. It is a chance for us to re-position our mod.
既然准备加入新阵营（陆军两栖突击部队/海军陆战队），那么就存在将两个阵营“分开”与重新平衡的问题。个人感觉这是个进行重新定位的好机会。

In my opinion, for unit properties, gameplay > realism, but for unit list and tech tree structure, realism > gameplay. Most of our players are military enthusiasts, some are even veteran from PLA or US Armed Forces. Also, realism itself is a very good advertisement and would make more people interested in our game.
个人认为，对于单位数据来说，游戏性大于真实性；而对于科技树与单位列表，真实性大于游戏性。这个游戏的大多数玩家是军事爱好者，有的甚至是解放军和美军的老兵。另外，真实性本身也是对Mod最好的宣传，它可以吸引很多热衷真实的玩家关注我们的Mod。

Of course, gameplay is important, either. Gameplay includes both balancing and entertainment. While focusing on balancing based on current gameplay, we need to take diversification of gameplay into consideration, either - of course, for both factions.
当然，游戏性本身也很重要。游戏性包含平衡性和娱乐性两方面。在基于当前数据进行平衡的同时，我们也需要考虑为Mod引入一些多元化的玩法——对两个阵营来说都是这样。

First, for all three commander trees of all factions of vCoH, there are classified into three "roles": assault(airborne, propaganda, luftwaffe, commando), artillery(infantry, defense, scorched earth, royal artillery), armor(armor, blitzkrieg, tank destroyer, royal engineer). For US factions of MC mod, the calssification is clear, but for PLA faction, it is really messed up. FIN has both powerful armor and artillery barrage, TM has cheap armor with confused role and asym has nothing but SPAA. I've seen many of players complained about asym commander tree doesn't have doctrinal armor, and TM commander tree have nothing to do with US air superiority. This is not a promising way for the mod development.
首先，在原版CoH/ToV中，每个阵营的技能树都可以被归类为三种：突袭（美军空降、国防恐怖、PE空军、英军突击队）、步炮（美军步兵、国防防御、PE焦土、英军炸B）、 装甲（美军装甲、国防闪击、PE驱逐、英军工兵）。对于目前Mod中的美军来说，分类已经足够明晰；但是对于PLA来说，分类仍是含混不清的。高技术线同时拥有最强的坦克和炮火支援，全民总动员线有一大票区分不明显的装甲，而不对称则除了防空以外什么拿得出手的东西都没有。我见过很多玩家抱怨不对称技能树没有拿得出手的装甲，全民总动员面对飞机则一点反制手段都没有。拆了东墙补西墙并不是Mod发展的健康方式。

In my opinion, we could give PTZ-89(Type 89 Tank Destroyer)to asym commander tree, and increase its accuracy and power vs infantry (In fact, PTZ-89 is a army-level anti-tank method, being used when the defense is being breakthrough by enemy armor and all other anti-tank methods are failed).
个人认为，我们可以把89式自行反坦克炮给不对称科技树，增强其反步兵的杀伤力和精准度（事实上89式自行反坦克炮是集团军层面的反坦克武器，用于在防线被敌方突破后的最后反制手段）。

The PTZ89 is in the right tree then? What you described sounds like full mobilisation to me.

I agree that they could use a bit of a shake-up, especially Asymmetrical Warfare. However we may have a solution already in the works. Time will tell.

You guys are always giving surprises.

Not promising anything by 1.017. Maybe, we'll see.
