How does that go along the "I'm against giving the ability to reinforce in combat to every doctrine"? This is still "combat reinforcement for every doctrine" only delayed.

If you zoom in to the squad, there is always one dude with a scoped enfield. The rifle in it's "normal" use has a bit higher accuracy than normal enfields but longer delays between shots so the "DPS" is roughly the same (or at least if I remember it correctly). When you use the ability, the weapon "...

On top they have a huge range and are absolutely disgusting when you look at the damage they deal. 360 damage with a 50% AoE drop off means 180 damage. NO infantry surives a contact with it, tanks get huge amount of damage aswell and emplacements just do dissaper. Not true. Base damage is 350 and t...

I would say that "reinforcing in combat" should be mainly the field of paratroopers who can do it without the need for any extra units, it is also available in a few doctrines that have the reinforcing tanks but those are doctrines that don't have access to any strong infantry. Giving such an option...

Is it possible to make Sniper ability as a standart ammo upgrade? I think on vCoh, there was even an Icon for the squad that has Marksmen in it, alike when u get BrenMG u get bren icon above Health bar. Yes, it is possible. As you said, it was in vCoH and in BK the upgrade is applied by default. We...

Thinking of this, wouldn't it be better if halftracks got an upgrade option that would turn them into a retreat point? That way you could leave it at a safe space in optimal range away from the fight and they would just retreat to it, reinforce and join the fight again. There would be some technical...

The "mobile base" playstyle makes CW unique. We also experimented with giving CW normal HQs but it pretty much broke the whole CW AI. BK is a multiplayer mod but people still play compstomp too and disabling an entire faction for pretty much no reason, is not desirable.

The CoH 1 engine handles callins poorly and in multiplayer games, callins often cause desyncs. Or at least we have reports that games with a lot of callin units desyc more often than games with only a few or no callins at all. So no, we're not gonna do this one.

I would need to check but I don't think it is possible to change the distance at which infantry can reinforce around units. Well, I stand corrected - there is a modifier that should be able to change the reinforcement radius. Why the suggestion? Well, its just easier to micro, a fun addition to bot...

What does it mean? The HT would be static but infantry could use the "Reinforce" button fartrher away from it?
I would need to check but I don't think it is possible to change the distance at which infantry can reinforce around units. Does the reinforce radius even matter that much?

Whats wrong with that word? Why are you writing it like that? rEaLiSm . Is it a cursed word? Because this is a game and the priority is gameplay, not realistic simulation of WW2, therefore any complaint/suggestion is ridiculous if the main reason for it is realism. It has been said dozen times alre...

Chance to penetrate Sturmtiger at max range on "rear" hit (with AP off): 76mm gun: 60% 90mm gun: 92% 17 pounder: 80% Those Shermans were all shooting frontally without even trying to take some position for scoring a "rear" hit. The Pershing took one shot at it after the gun got repaired, it hit from...

The ammo upkeep for Hotchkiss is done differently than for other units. If we apply ammo upkeep the same way as for other units, then we will have the situation as it was in 5.3.0 - the Hotchkiss will have ammo upkeep even if it doesn't have the rocket launchers upgraded (which doesn't make sense). ...

It should be just 10. Didn't you play in the "BK fun" mode?

It was removed because with the weapon packages the main strategy was in 99% of games "rush SAS and kill everything with them". The problem was that SAS with SMGs was better in every way than Sten Commandos and so it made Sten Commandos obsolete. SAS with Enfield and Brens was in every way better th...

why would you "rework" those? just give them the minesweeper. And yes, it honestly kills my immersion, when i see a unit, wich was just designed and used for fast and hard attacks, turns into a pioneer unit. People would go mad if rangers would do the same, why do Panzergrens suffer from vCoH as a ...

Having an ability without a button is possible but to have it work only with a hotkey would be weird because many people wouldn't even know that the ability is there. If you forget the hotkey, you cannot switch because there is no icon that shows you what the hotkey is. I think we could add some sor...

But do you need infantry with minesweepers when your Kettens and Schwimms can detect mines? They don't even need any upgrade to reveal mines. Kettens and Schwimms can capture points in early game pretty quickly so you will most likely get at least one just for the fast teritorry grab. Why not use it...

No. Demo charges have their own mechanic which places charges on "demo points" on buildings - each building model has pre-set a number of points where this action places explosives. Minefields would be placed on open terrain so there are no "demo points" to place the mines to. Is it really such a hu...

Technically, it should be possible to do, although it would require free UI slots in 101st and 82nd ability panels (which I'm not sure they have) + it would be even more micro heavy to put this sort of setting on each individual unit.

The thing with the HQ squad is that it has a pretty big aura and so it doesn't need to be very close to the AB squads to give them bonuses. AB squads can be reinforced from air and the HQ squad has a passive healing ability. The AB infantry retreats to the HQ squad and if there is no HQ squad, it re...

I was thinking about a way to build a mine field with a one click but I never found a way to do it. It cannot be done the same way as PE does it, unless we give to def doc the same ability. I think it already helped that we canceled the "build a line of mines" feature and made mines possible to buil...

Hi, I think the units are there but in other places. Jackson B1 is now in the US Infantry doctrine (it used to be in Armor doc). In the Infantry doc you can have either 76mm Sherman Jumbo or the B1 Jackson - you choose in the configuration before the game. Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger are still in Tank...

This is literally why it hasn't been changed either way. Some say Gebirgs should be tied to Hauptman, the others say to FS Leader. Since they don't reinforce from air, I would be more inclined to just making them retreat to and get bonuses from Hauptsturmdude. But them people will cry why they are c...

How about we buff PE mine-sense and with it give SturmPios the ability to upgrade a minesweeper? Wald I checked the files and it is as Redgaarden wrote - the Fieldcraft doesn't reveal mines. The text is still vanilla but it is not present in BK. I don't remember removing it so it have been removed ...
