Re: Make British Assault Squads Great: POLL

They should get the smoke grenades Ranger's get so they can play a delaying-action style tactic when they're fighting vs overwhelming amounts of bolt rifles. Usually when I get this squad there's no 'open position' to advance on the enemy with them. Because if I did advance, I'd lose 1-2 squad membe...

[BETA] Panzer Support should get 'Assault' Ability for their offensive tanks

I've had this idea for sometime, and seeing as how people complain that Panzer Support is a very 'campy' doctrine I've been thinking of how to make at least if you down the 'tank-line' for them. For the context, the ability I'm talking about is the one the Stug 3 has which is this: StuGIII "Assault"...

Re: Panzer Support Doctrine Infantry: POLL 1 of ?

The problem is that Panzer Support feels pretty campy even if you go down the 'tank-line' right? I personally think there's no reason to go down the tank line in team games because someone on your team is always going to play a doctrine with a panther/tiger/kt in it so going down the tank line is a ...

Re: Re-Thinking PE Tank Support doc (Tanks)

I actually wanted the offensive tank line (not the TD's) to get the 'Assault' ability the Stug 3 has. Only this time it would affect PE inf (or panzer grenadiers exclusively if too strong) giving them that -25% damage reduction and suppression resistance buff. It would unlock with the 'combined tank...

Re: [BETA] Gebirsjager G43 Scoped Rifles Capped at 1 Upgrade

Afaik, the LMG34 comes with the combat equipment CP unlock in the tree. So a fully upgraded/buffed Gebirsjagers is actually quite a lot of CP investment to put into the game when a Fallshrimjager squad is already good enough with their FG42s. Gebirsjagers are going to shine in the very, very late ga...

[BETA] Gebirsjager G43 Scoped Rifles Capped at 1 Upgrade

I'm wondering why the G43 scoped rifles for gebirsjagers are capped at 1? I thought it would be 2 like the FG42's for Falls because otherwise their main armanenent is elite_kar98k rifles which by themselves aren't enough to justify their reinforce cost (maybe you can use em to just panzerfaust stuff...

Re: Medic Triage

Give every faction (except brits) the same base sector healing upgrade PE gets (without adding the buff to the FHQ which heal your guys as well). Everyone always builds a triage in their base to heal their guys anyway, and Walder is right that it's a pointless micro sink trying to align your triage ...

Re: Luftwaffe feedback

I wonder if it's intended that you can only get 1x G43 scoped rifles on gebirs? Doesn't seem like it's intended to me considering you can get FG42 upgrade 2x on falls. Also, even with the MP cost change on falls and gebirs, their reinforcement cost still remains at 45 for both. Don't know if that's ...

I'm bumping this again because I still think G43 slow being gone if you pick panzer support is very bad. There's no other g43 unit with the suppresive volley fire available because there's no longer assault grenadiers in this doctrine. Wouldn't it be possible to have an 'upgrade switch' like assault...

Re: PE Infantry Halftrack in Kamfgruppe Kompanie

This would hugely impact low resource games and the rock paper scissors dynamic. I think it would be such a buff to PE especially in a 1v1 that it would make nearly every allied starting build in a low resource 1v1 the same. Well, my point still stands that this halftrack has very low-utility and n...

So about the Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Halftrack (MG34): I've noticed that nobody uses this halftrack over the medic one because while it does let your reinforce your infantry near the frontlines, it doesn't heal them and healing is a very important factor when attrition is what can really kill PE off as the ga...

[BETA] Jackson M36 (Armor Doc) Ambush Modifiers

Does the Jackson M36 get a reload buff when going into ambush (talking about armor doc one)? I don't think it does and I'm pretty sure all the other TD's get some sort of reload reduction modifier considering how fast I see them fire from ambush.

Re: [BETA] Def Doc Medic Bunker doesn't let you reinforce

I'd make it so the normal bunker doesn't have reinforce. But the repair and medic bunker can reinforce your guys because they are non-capturable friendly structures. Normal bunkers major use is to garrison an MG42 team inside it and get the spotting upgrade; So when the MG42 exits the bunker it's no...

Bumping this because one thing that really should happen with ammo trucks/halftracks is they should remove munition costs from mortars. Would be probably one of the reasons to actually build them rather than being a filler unit.
