Blitzkrieg Mod Forum

I think the same fix as for the blitz 37mm HT should be applied here: no infantry auto-targetting with main gun.

Nice read, Wald.

This post isn't about the efficiency of the Flak88s though, neither i am comparing it to the 17pdr... it's much more simpler than that.. simply the 88 emplacement takes unnecessary large space. Just as plenty of other factions' emplacements. So why should the 88 get the privilege of having a small ...

The 88 is one of the more powerful emplacements in the game.. arguably better than the 17 pounder because of it's 360° attack angle, decent anti-air and to a certain degree anti-infantry capabilities. And then you want to essentially buff the Def 88 by reducing it's model size, at least against othe...

and it has to do with the fact they 90% of the time oneshot most light vehicles (usually the PE Halftracks, RIP my Mortar Halftrack) if they manage to hit. Yes, but that is a pretty big "IF". They one-shot vehicles very often but iirc it was set that way because of how easy it is to miss with PIATs...

Yeah i'd prefer a buff.
Suggesting an increase in range (maybe 20%?) and shorter time-to-target meaning faster projectile flight.

Also a question: are PIATs supposed to lean towards damage or crits? Y'know like the new recoilless are meant for critting.

Would there really be any reason left not to upgrade skirts then?
25-50MP is nothing, at least it's nowhere near the value of 50 muni.

What's suggested would normally be a sidegrade, since the two handheld AT weapons have fairly different mechanisms. But i can't shake the feeling, that people would consider it more of an upgrade, implying the PIAT isn't doing it's job properly. Would a lot of people keep the original british loadou...

I don't quite get what the benefit of all this would be.
Am i overlooking something?

You could add a little towing icon above trucks carrying an AT gun just for the heck of it.

The direct fire is another useful tool though, so i wouldn't touch that.. and range restrictions can be bypassed with "hit ground" most often. Which is actually fine, because bypassing the range is total RNG, as it never lands an accurate shot. I would have to disagree there. Shooting a tank at poi...

Good ideas, i support them.
Would prefer the two different games approach, like two separate .exe's.

I also think that AT guns should be a little bit more evasive against tank guns shooting AP.

I disagree, I think the current way AT guns work as area denial weapons for tanks is much better than how they were. I honestly think AT guns are perfectly fine right now. They must be planned with foresight, not used as a reactionary weapon like a tank. That's a good point. In a way, this creates ...

Maybe transfer a bit of the fuel cost into ammo price?
E.g. Sherman Croc 440/60F -> 440/40M/40F
With the cheaper Shermans unlock (Armor doc) it would be like 360/45F -> 360/30M/30F.

Hey i'd like to suggest adding the "maintain command range" ability to the WH Def doc 28mm PzB halftrack.
This allows to make easier use of the aura which improves pioneers building speed.

Btw, does this buff affect only pioneers or all kinds of infantry that build and for how much?
Thanks.

Wow thats a lot to process. I agree that there shouldn't be any 1-2 unit buildings. Let me rephrase it this way: The smaller PE 3rd tier building could be rebranded Kampfwagen Kommand or something else that means light tank/tank support/armored vehicles factory. It includes the Marder versions I/III...

As already mentioned, both buildings have basically a role by its name. I dont think this should be an argument. WH's T3 "Tank Factory" is a rebrand of what Vcoh called "Assault Armory". Quite on the contrary, the names result in unnecessary restrictions. Why not rename the buildings and be done wi...

I guess having actual field arty before the sector bombardment ability would be useful. It could be considered a bit too situational to be the first unlock in the arty chain.

What if building either of the buildings made the other cheaper?

I like it

Also i'd prefer the SE Elefant to be built in the Panzerjäger Kommand building instead of being called in. The price is fine, it just doesn't feel worth 4CP to me..

I thought the 37mm guns can have 1 man remaining without that automatic crew-wipe..
They can even shoot solo i believe.

Very interesting idea. So the soldiers of various unit tiers would have different learning curves. My two cents about basic grunt and special forces distinction? I'd say higher tier units could be universally useful or simply more flexible than lower tiers. Basics like riflemen are for capping point...

Thanks for coming back and posting the solution.

Yeah lets make it Nazi übermensch doctrine like in the Axis vs. AI hordes days. Many people dont know that Germany actually would've won easily if they hadnt been abandoned by RNGeezuss in '42. [/sarcasm]

Just thought what if the AT gun teardown times would match their firerate.. small 37mm gets a quick tear down and large 17 pounders (or god help us 88mm PaKs) take a relatively long time to become mobile.
An i believe reload abusing wouldn't be possible as the teardown time equals the actual cooldown.
