I've not the interest to type a paragraph to describe the solution to this problem, so have a gander of this recent discussion and derive your own conclusions.
Sukin-kot (SVT): hey
Sukin-kot (SVT): participate in a poll please
Sukin-kot (SVT):
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1002&start=25Sukin-kot (SVT): its about giving back recoiless rifle to 101s Airborne
BffWithDEATH: 101st had reociless removed?
Sukin-kot (SVT): yes lol
Sukin-kot (SVT): so stupid
BffWithDEATH: Were the cost droped?
Sukin-kot (SVT): now they have 1 only instead of 2
BffWithDEATH: I could support if it is purchasable and they are significantly cheaper
Sukin-kot (SVT): no, cost remained the same
BffWithDEATH: ;-;
Sukin-kot (SVT): it cant be purchasable, no slots
Sukin-kot (SVT): they already have 3 upgrades
Sukin-kot (SVT): so i think it shall be back in a package
BffWithDEATH: I'm surprised they removed what is considered the weakest of the recoiless rifles from them
Sukin-kot (SVT): moreover in next update RS will loose its deflection damage
BffWithDEATH: To be honest i think all tank hunters should have one recoiless rifle and all the varieties of recoiless rifles should no relatively low damage to armour but consistently cause critical damage e.g. regularly disable guns and engines forcing them to retreat
Sukin-kot (SVT): well, thats different story
Sukin-kot (SVT): in tread case i think its incredibly stupid to have 101s with 1 recoiless
Sukin-kot (SVT): they cant even kill scout car with it
BffWithDEATH: It does seem od to have panzerjaegers haveing two schrecks and 101 having one recoiless, only because of how weak it's performance is
BffWithDEATH: I think the issue is more the performance of the recoiless rifle in it's respective role
BffWithDEATH: 101st are meant to be flexible regular infantry
BffWithDEATH: So more vs infantry power is welcome, assuming the recoiless rifles performance was revised
Sukin-kot (SVT): Its simply strange that 101s have a single recoiless which is the worst handled AT weapon regardning penetration, damage, reloading time and accuracy when every axis squad had Panzerschreck
BffWithDEATH: That is what I mean
BffWithDEATH: one recoiless rifle is fine, assuming it's performance is revised first
BffWithDEATH: If it's performance is still piss poor, that should be what is discussed in the forum in my opinion
Sukin-kot (SVT): it historically was much worse than schreck or bazooka
Sukin-kot (SVT): same in game
BffWithDEATH: It should be good at dealing with light vehicles and light armour and be average against medium but worthless against heavies
Sukin-kot (SVT): thus there was 2 of them
Sukin-kot (SVT): Well, thats how it is
Sukin-kot (SVT): Penetration chanve against Panzer 4 is 50%
Sukin-kot (SVT): And needs 3-4 penetrations
Sukin-kot (SVT): zooks and schrecks kill with 2 usually
BffWithDEATH: My main point with all the recoiless rifles is they should be disabling components when they pen rather than destroying the entire vehicle unless the vehicles fail to retreat when disabled
Sukin-kot (SVT): ah man
Sukin-kot (SVT): its different thing as I said
Sukin-kot (SVT): poll is only about returning recoiless
Sukin-kot (SVT): yes\no
Sukin-kot (SVT): AB is unplayble now because 101s which are the main doc force can even kill pumas and shit
Sukin-kot (SVT): not to mention tanks
BffWithDEATH: I'm aware of that, however objectively speaking wouldnt the 101st be more useful if their single recoilless rifle was breaking the guns of attacking armour allowing them to escape the armour and fight the infantry with their one extra small arm
Sukin-kot (SVT): ...
Sukin-kot (SVT): ah, forget
Sukin-kot (SVT): I bet u havent played AB for years
Sukin-kot (SVT): now its unplable because single Panzer 4 fucks the entire doc
Sukin-kot (SVT): when they had 2 recoiless it was so much better
BffWithDEATH: It's difficult to discuss balance when you fail to see the greater scale of the issues
Sukin-kot (SVT): they simply ruined the doc
Sukin-kot (SVT): there is no scale in this case
Sukin-kot (SVT): Its simple as fuck
Sukin-kot (SVT): with 2 RS doc was OK, now its unplayble
Sukin-kot (SVT): pretty much that
BffWithDEATH: Depends upon how you approach it, I do agree it is unreasonable to remove that extra recoiless without adjusting the units cost, it is a significant debuf to an already relatively bad cost>effective unit. However it would be perfectly fine if the rifle was revised to justify the change
Sukin-kot (SVT): lol, but in next patch they nerf recoiless even more, didnt u read?
Sukin-kot (SVT): Thats why of course they need
Sukin-kot (SVT): 2
BffWithDEATH: This is what i'm saying, you dont seem to understand what I am trying to explain to you. Giving them 2 recoilless is an option however it is the lesser ideal of solutions
Sukin-kot (SVT): It's not a discussion about fucking ideal solution man
Sukin-kot (SVT): it's a poll
BffWithDEATH: Yeah, this is why I stopped with the forums. Many are lacking foresight.
