RE Doc?

[Shanks]

@Markr....I think that the tree of doctrines of RE should be like this: the comet should be in the place of the "Achilles", and the Achilles, where is the "Comet", the serious idea, that the Comet is a priority in RE, not the Achilles, but in return, it would be obligatory to enable up to the churchil "95 mm", would be 5 CP in total, we could try it ... what do you think about this? ... by the way, I did not say "red" was at my favor


@Tiger 1996...the pershing is "armored", also the panther is "armored", and can not be destroyed by basic units in general, besides BK has many ways to pass an emplacement (for example bombing of infantry bk or infantry infiltration of bk ), if this strategy does not turn out, you can ask for artillery from "SE" or "TH" or "LUFT planes", very easy! ....and you would have many tanks (very good, by the way)... also, in my opinion, bk is very good, like now

As I've described on my last post.. they are more armored and therefore they cost more... Comet is available about the same time but not armored, therefore it costs less! So; if it's already cheaper then I believe it doesn't really need to be earlier available as well.
And btw there is something u should keep in mind, all doctrines in Bk Mod have 30 total command points, so you can't simply remove command points from the Comet in order to allow it earlier without delaying something else in return! And as I clarified on my previous post, I don't think Comet could be ever available at 4 CP for the several reasons I mentioned.. but I think it's fine at 5 CP at least.
Perhaps 1 CP from the Comet could be taken away, and in return.. the "AT Mines" unlock would be 1 CP later maybe.
Additionally, on my previous post I also pointed out that the IVJ should be a bit more expensive in Blitz doc... Comet should be also unlimited.

Blitz doc would need some arty support, yes.. that's my point! Just like how RE doc might need some arty support from other RA doc team-mates.
Terror is very weak mid game, that's why Blitz will need to support it with off-map support call-in as well as IVH tanks with the help of trades...
And later the Terror doc player would have to support the Blitz doc player with Stuka and SturmTiger in late game.
So, the Axis docs aren't completely self-dependent either!
=======================================================================
Currently in my humble opinion, the overall game balance is very good in Bk Mod actually, just with tiny further changes required.
Axis docs might be more versatile for sure.. but they are still less flexible than the specialized Allied docs which are dominant in a particular field...
That's 1 reason why I may not be very excited to the planned Axis docs re-work, despite that I'm clearly interested in adding new units and re-working the docs. However, it took us too many years to finally reach this "fine" state of balance! Therefore I'm honestly quite reluctant about the docs rework.
Accordingly, I hope that the rework will not be enforced officially anytime soon without extreme testing (at least 1 year of pvp testing) with possible opportunity to modify it several times too if needed, based on the provided feedback.

Could you read what I wrote in my last post, before writing this ????

and terror, it is an almost unstoppable doctrine! ... you know what is your problem ?... you never use inf ( rather, you do not get used to it, "only sniper") , it seems that you think that everything is only about tanks and to compare all the allied doctrines vs BK!


example of terror doctrine vs pro players

Comet is just an acillies without stealth. I cant really see the difference between them anymore. But then again. I havent used the comet yet. By that I mean I got one and it got trashed and never build it again. I will try to use it a little differently now. But I still dont know for what though. Im pretty tired of suiciding units against supperior axis tanks or infantry. If its new dodge abilty is actually useful. Ill use it to its intended role to mitigate damage since the churchill is incompitent for that.

Edit:Sorry for the sass. But I dont see why the comet or churchills are so important when acillies can do everything.

good luck with that! hahahahahaaaa

It is true that the new comet its just an achilles with just a liiitle bit better armor, it dosn't bring anithing special to the doc its just something "cool" but wathever right now RE doctrine dosn't seem to be reaching to his potential things would maybe change after the "specializated" changes to axis doctrines.

It has a lot more HP. It can basically stand a panther shot. At the other hand even a stug or Panzer IV can make a oneshot by using AP and triggering max damage.
Things again would look differently when AP´s wouldnt boost damage. If this would be removed a panther wouldnt actually oneshot a comet anymore.
Just as information.

Hetzer with camo is a different thing though.

I am not really against this...where would the point that you take away from Comet be moved?

if you forgot about me, here is the answer markr

Are you sure? i remember my comets got 1 hit killed by panzer 4 infront and they didn't use ap, also my comet was overrepiared had an commander and command tank behind it.


Edit: It happened twice in one game, p4 had no veterancy no tank commander, alsoooooooooo it happened in a different match too

Comet might be feeling a bit "un-needed" sometimes but not because it's useless.. only because the Achilles are currently over-performing with abilities such as "hit and run tactics" which is going to be removed, but also in addition to HE rounds... As I never really understood why Achilles should ever have HE rounds, Hetzers for example don't have it.. even the M10 Wolverine doesn't.

RE doc weakness is to be countered by SE doc with 210mm rockets and continuous long range arty.. but this doesn't have anything to do with Comets!
2nd weakness for RE doc as I mentioned before.. is to be out-numbered by Blitz doc thanks to trades, off-map support call-in and early IVJ but again this doesn't have anything to do with Comets being useless or not! And every doctrine in the game should have some weakness points, and I honestly can't see many further weaknesses for RE doc except the few things already mentioned, I mean that the strength points of the doctrine are more than the weak points on the other hand.. so it's just fine overall.

Explanation may be historical. Yes old dev team had knowledge with these bullshit . (it is why I think pseudo mistakes are intentionals).

German th like jpziv had only a dotation in pzgr39 and 40 but no HE. HE was not their job.

it was a bit different for allies. target was rather rare for allies. For exemple the first Sherman bataillon equipped with 76 mm gun was operational in France around august 1944 iirc. In December logistic service data showed 95 per cent shells fired by this bataillon was HE rounds.

Germans panzer allies tanks saw were too often already wrecks. Usual cause was scuttle by crews due to mechanical breakdown or ran out fuel. It is fairly possible even allies TD had HE round to possible support infantry because they had not so much work on their primary purpose.
At least for USA for a TD like the hellcat a quater of shell were HE rounds. I have no data for brits, but like preys were rare for both, their is no reason John Bull acted differently.

if SE and BK can beat RE, of A or B form, it means that all the other doctrine of the axis could win vs. RE..is logical ...it's relatively easy for win VS RE, so, the comet it is important , and since they're going to do the achilles (nerf), the comet should be in RE, as I put it in my last post, because neither will the armor rise!

the planes fell on my infantry in recovery and my base ... you saw it....I can also upload videos where bk doc defeats RE easily, as well as you do it with RE vs. average players

[Krieger Blitzer]

@Shanks
As you can see on my most recent video.. the Comet is working! Even successfully bounced off IVJ 75mm shell. And 6 CP is not much for the Comet...
Not to mention that throughout the game we lost together on Duclair against BEREN and MEFISTO, I was actually still able to field so many tanks.. and even killed many airplanes just with 2 Bofor and 1 Crusader! We lost it only because it was apparently not your best day as infantry doctrine

Well, but still those same "average players" won against me and you 1 time... I know u had bad luck, but then I think they are at least above average!
And actually I had overall better kill/loss ratio than you on the final scoreboard of that game.. but regardless, here my point is; the Comet is not "useless" as you are trying to convince everyone here. Not to mention that I had enough command points and resources to unlock and deploy one 95mm Churchill, as well as 3 Comets in just 40 minutes 2vs2 game, beside Crusaders and Bofors too! Also despite we were losing.

let's leave behind our bad defeats hahaha ...... now ... what do you think about my last suggestion regarding the comet? ... will be 5 CP as you like

[Krieger Blitzer]

I'm OK with Comet at 5 CP but also at the same time I don't demand it, since I believe it's still fine at 6 CP anyway.. but as I said, I'm fine with 5 CP too.

[Shanks]

I want to explain my idea better:: churchill(1CP)--churchill 95mm(2CP)--comet (above/2CP)-----Canadian tank (left / top/2CP)---firefly(above/rigth/2CP)---achilles(above/rigth/2CP)--- or churchill avre(in front as always)

but for this, it would be obligatory, unlock the churchill 95 mm, which means 5 CP direct, until arriving at the comet
