In attempting to narf the strength of an FS, they exaggerated numbers advantage to an offensive degree.

Sof would be looking currently at similar warstats if they were winning against you rn. They'd almost have to kill you 2 to 1 to win the war. If the war isnt almost even in numbers, the restart bonus plainly hands the win to the larger side unless a tag kill metric is used. And even then the side with greater numbers has a HUGE advantage in the war. Like waaaaay more than it used to be.
