Ok, so with flamethrowers all pios and engis become combat pios and engis. Why do we then have combat engis and assault pios as purchasable unit then? Can they do repair and use flamethrowers? I mean RE combat engis get them after cp upgrade for example. And why would PE pay hundreds of MP + ammo fo...

Regarding the GrB39... Another thing we thought about was damage output. I'd keep the RoF and range but I'd nerf the damage - against light tanks at least. Stuarts, Chaffees, etc. all those should not be 2 hit. I'd say 3 hits are fine, gives you reaction time to retreat the unit when 2 squads shoot...

"Breaking the feel of the game" ? What do you think engineers and pioners are thought? Civilians? Almost everyone in the army goes throught combat training, they should be as durable and good as riflemen if we go for something more immersive lol. Well, that way we can start a debatte on w...

So the damage is the issue now? well, that can be fixed easily.

I cant talk for AT gun crews but iirc the HMg squads already have a shitload of HP already. IIrc like Stormtroopers. Whats the point of more HP for AT gun crews? whats wrong with them? The additional men was requested as "protection" against snipers, more HP doesnt change anything in this ...

Yes, they were used there to clear the defenses right behind the beaches and jungle areas etc. But they were squishy as well. i just dont like the concept of "here, take this weapon, now you are battlehardened." I could imagine such things in certain docs (like RE CP unlock provides a bett...

I disagree with the disagreement. Flamethrowers were used primarily by pioneer / combat engineer units as they were supposed to open blocked routes and clear enemy fortifications. Upgrading these on combat troops would therefore be weird. Btw, even if this is russian, I have a nice picture of the e...

Thats weird. Its like weapon upgrade + combat package (like armored clothers, better training etc). Right now we have usually weapon upgrades (including ammo) and upgrades that give passive boosts like skirts. This would be the first upgrade that does all of that. If the flamethrower is now able to ...

Currently only low HP units have flamethrowers. Even the assault pioneers from PE have HP arround that what Volks have, and i rarely use volks for close combat. The engineers have the small advantage of glider drop but thats it. Terror used to have flamethrowers for their grens instead of STG but go...

1 vs 1 is different. 1. Often there are only very few cruicial points where you can focus the defense. 2. You have your base as back up. So in case of retreat, you wont get shot as long during the way back to base 3. You can, base as back up, defend points near base more easily or starting your coun...

Reinforce is in sbps and in percentage. Like when a squad costs 300 MP and has 3 men (so one costs 100 MP in ebps) and 0.5 reinforce cost, then one men costs 50 MP. Up it to 4 men and it drops automatically to 37.5. Weapon crews have sometimes only soldiers costing something and the weapon nothing, ...

Ok, can we perhaps stop that drama at this point? Perhaps you discuss this in private chats. Regarding the actual matter: High res vs low res, Big maps vs small maps. 1. I dont like High res so much. Sure it helps US to survive PE early game better, but the downside is that stugs/marders (and Hetzer...

Sure, i create them. They exist since i can remember. Even more of them and which have been often the reason i stopped playing BK. Over the past 3 years or so lots of stuff got fixed and many of the really annoying things. I had created my own private version where i fxied a lot of stuff. And funnil...

trust me, the arty is good enough to bash emplacments, even better. Damage in center of the explosion got upped, range reduced to prevent "from base spam" and nobrainer.

Its not about arty is always a win or not. The ammount doesnt matter, just how you use it. Thing is that that there is the huge skill gap between being effective with or without arty. I played games were players choosed TH just to get 3-4 Hotchkiss and firing at every damn shit. I later did the same...

Ok. funny, so after a year of fixing and correcting description we shall shit on it, nice. The armor plate of the jeep does not protect you completely from bullets? fine, why does the same armor protects axis vs cal 50 quite nicely? And why not just making a test, just as you did with the sherman vs...

The PE transport Halftrack comes with manned MG rightaway, or not? At least because of that there was no change planned for it. yes, they are. But it makes this HT so expensive that nobody uses it. If we make it purchasable as well then people might start using it when they dont have to spend 300 M...

Sure, Like it. What about PE? Keeps as it is?

There the removal could make the HT cheaper and a viable option for the PE early game in conjunction with Pgrens.

There is still the thing that in BK the top MGs are set to be additional anti-infantry protection. You cant call the current cal 50 as "protection" vs inf. If it would do that at least, that would be great. Allieds have to support their tanks and stuff with specialized anti inf vehicles l...

oh shanks.... why should i play the game then? Just to see arty rain again and to eliminate arty players`? Permanently facing walking stukas and stuff.... and no matter what i do.... i face arty.... and its not that this arty is most annyoing as US where you can bomb their defenses due to inferior ...

Yo, Mark, can we actually put 1 man more in each weapon crew to make it more interesting? Simply because of the snipers, because right now they are pain in the ass. As drawbacks, you need to reinforce one man in squad. worht a thought, just arent snipers there to do exactly that? What would be the ...

50.cal is already effective against scout cars.. try attacking any Axis half-track or Scout Car with US M20 Command Car or Recce, Scout Cars will die. Specifically if the Recce would use "Mark Target" ability, Scout Cars can actually die faster than soldiers at this point. Well, you need ...

It's true, I left the game fast ... generally I do not waste time when the game is ultra unbalanced and my teammates lose in 5 min, it's the worst, I do not want to play an artificial extension ... I really wanted to see you play the version Current, but I see that you do not like ... on the other ...

@Hawks: 1) I was thinking about some combination of damage and crit chances too. It would be hard to set 90% damage due to different HP values of those scout units as well as different armor types on them which iirc in some case shared with other units too. sounds good. 2) I am not sure if this wou...
