Blitzkrieg Mod Forum

I have watched the game until the end. It is a perfect demonstration of handicapped AB doc. There was nothing effective this doc has given you except a couple of Strafe runs. And that given how terrible your opponent was, he literally wasted every single storms squad that he deployed, yet you still ...

Idk what is “flexible” about AB. It has nothing offensive against tanks, your infantry suck balls against any other special infantry and you cannot counter arty. You could have gone Inf doc or Armor doc and game would have ended much faster.

Timing on when to tech and push a tier advantage with a tank is a very explicit skill now, whereas back then if you made a medium tank it'd be wasted effort. Isn't it the same way but vice versa at the moment? As we discussed many times across various topics. Going for elite infantry or support bra...

I would say it’s not even the price problem with tanks. The thing is that any medium tank can be almost invulnerable to infantry if you have an ok micro control. Which is quite funny, because BK used to have the meta other way around. Tanks besides Panthers, Tigers, Jumbo and Pershings were almost u...

Agreed, it’s the most stupid doc in the history of BK, along with the old RE, when Churchills had no armor whatsoever. It is only good against noobs who don’t build AA, if even. There is literally nothing that doc would do better than RAF (better in every single aspect) or Inf ( Rangers > AB troops ...

Those definitely look way more interesting gameplay-wise than the current docs. I will be keen on trying those. AB, RAF and Terror are exceptionally interesting. Few remarks: 1) Mortar halftrucks unlocks aren't cool, it's not a very impactful unit to be locked behind CP 2) Shermans coming after the ...

What I like is giving Fausts to Heavy Assault Grens. I’ve always thought it’s weird that main PE infantry unit doesn’t have an AT, given that their tank busters squad is already weaker having just a single schreck. It would even be cool if they had a Schreck in SE doc, or an ability to buy Schreck a...

No crawl, crawl is shit. 6 men crawling on plain ground right next to enemy infantry and they are invisible, then they magickly appear 3 meters next to the enemy infantry and wipe out everything. Dont start again with the bunker comparison, this is shit on another level. I thought bk is supposed to...

I think they are fine the way they are. Indeed, they do replace commando, but no one have been using Stend commando anyway since the introduction of marines. Enfield commando however still come in handy when you face multiple elite inf docs, like luft + bk + se. And thanks god people tend not to use...

I have always wondered Mark, what is your motivation to build the mod without playing it yourself xD

I think bonuses aren't good enough to be worth buying the command vehicles. It will be still better to bring another barrel then getting a command vehicle. Command Cromwell is a living example of that, people use only because it is required for tiering, it never gets rebuild if destroyed. Imo it sh...

We're going to try the passive aura approach. WM keeps the tank, US keeps the M20. Both of these and also CW command tank will provide: - basic aura gives to vehicles in range of 65: +5 vision range, +2.5 weapon range and +5% accuracy - at Vet2 the aura gives additional +5 vision range, +2.5 weapon...

What a weird doctrine composition xD

Axis could go BK + Def + SE to absolutely demolish x3 AB.

As well as Allies could easily have an edge against Def + x2 Luft by choosing Armor + Raf + inf/arty.

Seems like nowadays people don't really try counter plays.

FSJ with no upgrade weapons and no CP investment are weak, I don’t know about CORSIX but FSJ HP I am sure is less or the same as 101st ( no cp investment in FSJ) after the upgrade FSJ become in what they used to be, a strong unit. Also FSJ weapons upgrade are still expensive compare with SAS that o...

Would be a no from me. Sniper ability makes the faction unique, having a normal sniper unit like everyone else will be another step to mirror factions.

I already gave the main reason. More viable units in late game = more diverse and fun gameplay. One of examples would be the one that Consti mentioned. Getting 2 CP unlock in Inf doc is pointless as you rifles are deemed to die out anyway, hence it’s better off with Rangers right away. A bit same fo...

It’s not like I need them, it just killed the game variety a bit. Someone liked to play with more expensive elites, other enjoyed cheap volks/rifle spam. Both options were viable and fun. Now basic inf is out of the late game. Complaints about “volks bit Rangers” aren’t relevant anymore because elit...

If it is implemented, how the weapon pick up will work? The only problem I see that squads with a package won’t be able to pick up enemy weapons. Man, it’s such a pleasure to pick up MG42 with Enfield commando or Stg44 with Rangers that it should never go. Actually, I recalled that I wanted to ask i...

I am not asking for some superb Tier A inf, Mark. You are over complicating things too much. The fact is that basic inf was ok before the patch, their performance was spot on and elites inf with CP upgrades still could melt them in the late game. Idk why you took this to “then basic inf replaces eli...

They deserve tier C like the rest of the special inf. Their HP and damage output is low, yet 385 MP is almost the same you pay for reg.5/Sas/Storms that have double of their perfomance. All i know is that this is a clear exaggeration in my opinion, 101st with Thomspons eat FJR for breakfast. You on...

I don’t see those problems with SaS, every tank is fast enough to drive backwards an kite them. Once they leave smoke they die very fast if un upgraded. I think that players got too used to the fact that basically any tank obliterates even the best inf. Hence one proper tank buster unit irritates th...

I have to say that there is one unit where mixing weapons is kinda effective. Occasionally I equip reg. 5 with x1 G43 package + x1 FG42 package. With that load out the whipe rangers, AB and all basic inf extremely effectively on all the ranges. As for Schreck + Faust squads, in the other topic I men...

Could we instead get rid of those debuffing abilities besides tigerphobia for good? It is very questionable from the tactics perspective, as it's more efficient to invest ammo to stuff that actually kills your enemy (HE, Arty, Planes, Call ins, Weapon upgrades). Because in case your enemy retreats r...

I think that the recent vet. changes made it even more unfair for AB. All infantry oriented docs can enjoy this buff due to the numbers of inf they are able to deploy: 1) Unlimited gebirgs and falls for Luft. 2) Marines + Commando + SAS for RAF 3) Different kinds of storms in BK, including quite cap...

Cool idea, though I wouldn’t like to lose a possibility to have Luft/Storms/Rangers with 5 smg’s + 1 Schreck/Zook. Unlike with recoiless, those loadouts are pretty versatile.
