Re: Rework the requirements for Medium tanks and TDs

The only tank/TDs I think that should be CP free that currently are not are the M10 and StuG III/IV. The M10 because it is the weakest TD you can get as the US and should be treated as a basic unit like the 75mm Sherman; CP unlocks should be reserved for tanks like the 76mm Sherman and Hellcat which...

Re: Maultier

Gameplaywise and thematically, I think Stupa is a perfect fit in Blitz and doesn't need to be changed in my opinion. I strongly disagree that the StuG needs CP, but the Panzerwerfer doesn't despite being one of the best arty units in game and being way more impactful. I personally would really like ...

Re: Thoughts on Prop Doc as of 5.3.0 Beta?

It would be pretty cool to have something like a "Knight's Cross" CP unlock ability that could give a targeted unit a set amount of experience, presumably, it would take more exp. to vet up a KT than a Volkssturm so the amount of vet gained/benefit would be appropriately proportionate to strength of...

Re: Beta Stormtroopers

The changes never made any sense to me. Grenadiers were your long range combat unit, which where removed, then the "close quarter squad" was added which then became Stormtroopers, so the original Stormtroopers then had to be changed to become Grenadiers. IMO Stormtroopers would be shock assault infa...

Re: 76 jumbo

I agree as well; 76mm Jumbo to Armor, 75mm Jumbo to Infantry. 75mm offers Infantry some anti-infantry utility, 76mm is just worse AT than Jackson; it's armor is not as important. I think a better addition for Armor would be a M4A3(75)W Sherman which would have better armor than the regular 75mm M4 (...

Re: Possible weapon cost changes for AB infantry

Munitions airdrop costing fuel instead of MP is just a better solution IMO. Alternatively, I wouldn't mind Luft lost its reduced airstrike cost upgrade to AB; I think fuel float isn't as bad in Luft because you also have great fuel sinks like Panthers. It also would feel more authentic if Luft was m...

Re: Why is the Panther OP?

Panther G should have slightly better frontal armor relative to the D or A because of the turret "chin" to eliminate the shot-trap, though would likely not make much of a difference in RL, it could give a in-game difference between A and G.

Re: Panthers, are they ok?

Re: Panthers, are they ok?

Panthers are arguably overmodeled armor wise. While the glacis was virtually impenetrable, its turret armor was not and could easily be penetrated by the 76mm. I think the best solution is to nerf armor and reduce price, but the armor should still be better than the Tiger I for all models.

Re: Greyhound cost

A price of around 300/25 seems reasonable. I think that .50 cal is very overrated and the Greyhound is not very good, but you don't have better options from the Motorpool which is really the only reason it gets used; compared to the 20mm Puma, the Greyhound is worse in nearly every way and usually l...

Re: Churchill AVRE Automatic Fire

I just think it is a waste for the AVRE's only role is to shoot at bunkers. I think it would be better if it fulfilled a more generalized infantry support role. I don't think bunkers are a problem, but if the 95mm is too weak against bunkers, then just buff it against bunkers.

Churchill AVRE Automatic Fire

Why not just let AVRE function like the Sturmpanzer and remove the indirect fire ability? Then it would not overlap with 95 mm Churchill and actually be useful.

I also wanted to add that it also needs a damage buff.

Re: Cost Effectivness of dedicated Tank Destroyers

Agree. Jacksons in particular are very overpriced and should be comparable in price to Achilles as they are comparable in performance. Both Jagdpanzer IV's and Hetzers are in a horrible place right now; the Panzer IV needs an armor nerf, not them. Now there is little reason to use them as they are w...

Re: HE Tanks and Vehicles

The cooldown is there because originally the ammo cost prevented people from switching the ammo types every time they needed - if they had an AT unit near they rather left the HE mode active and used the AT unit to destroy whatever the HE could not destroy. If we just changed the ammo costs and lef...

Re: Ju-87 bombing damage

I think that airstrike aren't very rewarding even when landing perfectly; I'd be fine with across the board damage buffs to all bombs. Besides Super Pershing, King Tiger, Elefant, and Jagdtiger, I'd be fine with direct impacts one-shoting everything else.
