Yeah, vowels will probably clash in german keyboards, there are the letters ü, ö and ä added on the far right.

Maybe in the middle? :')

Should be halved from 200 to a 100 or slightly lower. Why though? The Sturmtiger's shot is neither very accurate (especially from medium range upwards), nor is its damage profile hyper reliable. To be quite honest, the unit is really only effective versus emplacement clusters and dug in infantry. A...

A slightly slower rate of fire would fix the capability to instantly wipe out a broadly advancing infantry force.
Their effectiveness against emplacements or defensively placed infantry wouldn't be lowered.

Yeah I find it less than optimal to have unit groups stand completely still every now and then to be able to find unexpected mines. The ones in obvious places aren't a problem. Stopping any movement regularly doesn't really compliment an otherwise swiftly moving battlefield, which in my opinion is o...

First name change I'd came up with would be "Panzerpioniere".
Although I feel like this would imply improved tank repair capabilities (e.g. the 3-man team US Repair Engineers).

Tbh I'd put the switch hotkey in the description of the retreat icon. Unless that's hardcoded, too. But I can see, that what I'm proposing is a fairly complicated or "non-polished" step to achieve something, which may or may not even be necessary. :mrgreen: EDIT: Is it possible to have something dif...

Is it possible to add an "ability" without a tile in the panel? Thought about having a retreat switch hotkey, pressing it changes the target for the retreat command. Since it's probably not possible to change the icon of the retreat command (isn't it one of the hardcoded ones?), maybe it's sufficien...

So ALRS got nerfed significantly actually?
Fine with that.

In a way it incentives usage of AP abilities on large caliber tanks. Possibly quite costly though.

Really I don't see how it's "problematic" at all. Yes, I fired up BK to try out the changes and had a little question mark moment when trying to unlock firestorm. It took a few seconds to understand, but then it clicked. Done. Understood. Really not that complex and newb punishing as described here....

You need both to have access to Firestorm. It is arty (that's why you need to unlock something from the arty line), but also fire-based weapon (that's why there's the dependancy on incendiary weapons unlock. Just wanted to chime in expressing my support for this reasoning. Now the firestorm needs j...

I suddenly had an idea in my head:loading ammo in tanks (unlocking HE/AP) will cost fuel instead of ammo, but usage will still be costing ammo. This may solve an issue of tank using all of your ammo without firing any special shells. What price would you envision? HE upgrade for 25 - 30 fuel? AP ro...

Well isn't there this "unit in combat" state? That's used with the Bergetiger when trying to lay mines or construct barriers while being shot at.

That might look great, like a real building demolition with different charges going off in sequence.

It targets the walls? Interesting. Maybe increasing it's blast radius could allow the bomb to reach the far walls, too.
Not that it's a terribly important ability, though.

If escaping otherwise deadly ambushes is suvh a big problem, you could add a full HP or 80+% HP requirement to the ability.
Can't drive like the devil if your tank starts falling apart.

Btw., as far as I'm concerned, I'd keep the ability.

I agree. With that damage potential (especially the quick delivery unlike howitzers), a glass cannon approach might be better suited. But since Walking Stukas are apparently the only arty unit that nukes itself on death, don't drop their survivability completely. On a sidenote; are there other explo...

Btw. mass production doesn't have to be a resource saver primarily, it could just mostly affect building times.

PS: I know there is "allied war machine" already

It's been this way for a long time. Now I can't say for the time before 2018, but as long as I remember this was the way for the CW spotter drop. Only dropped in friendly territory and without crawl, you really have to use your brain while deploying. It's actually a bit tricky to use, which I don't ...

Thanks for sharing.

Btw., I've been wondering since idk.. actually since I've first joined this forum.. where do you get these thumbnails from? Do you draw them? They're impressive.

In my experience, incomplete air drops happen when then ability is cancelled, for example by a move order.
It was possible to do with parachuted AT guns.

The call for additional abilities stems from frustration about a unit that's more or less useless for 5-6 minutes in between unpredictable, expensive attacks.

Fixing the main purpose would certainly reduce the Sturmtiger's need for "something else to do" while reloading.

The reliability of damage dealt and frequency of use are the two main downsides towards the Sturmtigers appeal right now. The following changes really would be worth a shot: -> reduce AOE to about the base area of a tank factory -> ensure consistent performance throughout it's AOE -> reduce cooldown...

I believe Armor doc and Airborne have the heavier option available. That's why I emphasized Inf doc in my post.

Airborne can airdrop one from the Airborne HQ / forward base too, but that's a different story.

Hey there.
Apparently the 76mm AT gun was forgotten for Infantry doc's forward/field HQ. Only the 57mm one is deployable, which is lacking severely in midgame already. Please add the stronger variant, too.

Cheers
