Blitzkrieg Mod Forum

I may have been a bit edgy in some of my posts, though it's never been personal as I'm very grateful for all the time the devs and Kwok dedicated keeping this beautiful mod updated and interesting. The time they could have invested in their real lives! If I've offended anyone here, through using "Yo...

Here's a 3v3. It may have been unbalanced, but is a good example depicting how desperate AB is against armor and arty. AB's current counters against medium and heavy armor are 57mm (useless against Panzer 4s let alone heavier tanks), 76mm (still useless against heavies and easily destroyed by arty o...

1. Nebels are bugged and won’t fire if you make them target a location out of mad range.

3. Agreed 100%

Wald

mad range? What's that exactly?

Please delete.

Here's a 1-hour-long pvp on Redball. Although we were defending most of the time but my push could have finished the game if I'd had some support! The game was not bad but I encountered a few things things: 1. Nebles won't shoot at times! Just smoke 2. AB's paradroper scouts are abusive, as they can...

I support boosting paratroopers. Giving 101sts and 82nds more options in terms of weapon can help. Additionally, give 101sts the ability to boobytrap and place anti-tank mines. If the Starfe runs are gonna remain unchanged, ammo drops could also be like this 300 mp for 150 ammo, or 400 mp for 200 am...

I am against camping style and i think airstrikes to help a lot preventing them. Since i play BK i used to face RAF pretty much everytime i faced more than one CW player. And several infantry units got whiped out sometimes in a single airstrike. Just like in a game yesterday on a small map that kil...

It'd be nice if these points came with a "why" attached.

Wald

Be specific!

3. Luft Starfe run is not as effective as AB's! I don't wanna interrupt the brainstorming here but I would like to ask not to make points like this. The straffes are not "mirror" abilities and so saying that one is more/less powerful than the other isn't surprising. In this case, people have been c...

US AB: 1. 101sts should be able to plant anti tank, infantry mines plus setting booby traps. 2. AB HQ building should get smaller in size so that you can place it with ease. 3. Sabotaging points should either be removed from all factions, or for the same reason others have it be given to AB. 4. HQ s...

I support giving armor both 75 and 76mm Jumbo. It will boost armor's mid-game power. Right now 1 Panzer 4 or propaganda-Stug dominates mid-game. Let al9ne an early Panther or a Tuger Ace! I would also like to ask why adding sandbags to the shermans or even researching 30 cal costs fuel? I played a 3...

I played a rather unbalanced 3v3 against 2 AB and 1 RAF. Since I'm not a particular side fanboy I've always tried to point out what I've seen in games. In this game, whose playback will be posted soon, 2 Panzer 4s managed to break through the opponent's line and if I'd had my teammates' slightest su...

AB starfe run is not the problem. It may sound too powerful? Yes I just played against AB as Luft and lost due to manpower pressure coming from AB starfe killing 6-7 Faljs squads. You need to take nerfing starfe run consequences into consideration. AB already struggles mid game and starfe is helping...

Well, I meant that I've played more than 400 pvps playing as AB specifically and have won roughly 2 out of 3 games of them. The most important issue with US AB doctrine is that it is seriously vulnerable mid game against medium axis tanks, Panzer 3 armed with HE per se , if you survive mid game you ...

I've played more than 400 pvps as Air and have won 2 out of 3. AB needs some enhancement.

2v2

No matter how well you play, AB is still desperate against tanks. (no AA in this game)

A good example to prove sabotaging points and camouflage is an important factor. Oddly enough Luft was against AB and AB lost squads and scout cars to camo.

Here's another game. A 3v3, in which airborne got quite useless when AA was used by the opponent. Apart from that, the armor doctrine is quite lacking as well. 1 SP against Tiger Aces, Panthers, Elephants and Luft Hensc. You lose it, you pretty much lose the game. By the way, there seems to be a bug...

It's an advantage Luft and RAF possess. The nature of these doctrines is the same, yet some have the privilage over other.

The main reason behind my proposal for sabotaging points is that, It brings more depth to the behind-the-line paratrooper operations. I've seen Luft paras dropping at a corner, sabotaging vital points and using camo to keep the opponent supply line disrupted. And the very strategy has proven to chan...

Thanks Kwok. The thing is, that player had the chance to finish me a lot more than I did. He just needed to get into my base with the panther and Panzer 3 and destroy the HQ. I'm not a fan of doctrines becoming well-rounded as it'll lead to boredom in the long run. Doctrines should keep their unique...

I played a series of games against stuglife as AB. I think there's a skill diff between me and stug, so it wasnt a balance game to being with. But, the point is to show the amount of utility AB has comparative to other docs that forces players out of tank rushing. Hope that helps players get more c...

Here's a 1v1. AB won, but Panther came into my base, almost destroyed the supply yard, with two 82nd squads on the battlefield.

Since AB is literally a RIP doctrine. I've decided to post games to prove AB's futile struggle against tanks. Feel free to upload your games as or against AB here.

Here's a long nice game between AB and Luft. The Luft player didn't use his Panther to finish AB and gave me the chance to react, otherwise AB would have lost. Neither 82nds, nor 76mms could stop the Panther.

Btw, it's not about who played better who didn't; but AB's struggle against tanks.
