Blitzkrieg Mod Forum

Adding to my prevous comment:
Of the Docs I believe I have some kind of clue on how to play, I find Def Doc quite difficult if it is a game with popcap. For some reason I always run into popcap issues with Def Doc.

The friends I play with love PE Tank Support and US Armor doctrines. So when playing Axis, I mostly play Blitzkrieg or Defensive Doctrine, but my favorite is Luft. And when playing Allies, I normally opt for CW, either Royal Engineers or Canadians. Hence, for Axis, Propaganda and Scorched Earth are ...

While I would be totally fine with limiting big howitzers (both stationary and mobile) to 1 per unit, I believe that then stationary artillery should be buffed, but not in terms of output (damage): For static emplacements with a ring of sandbags, I would propose to increase HP For the solo-howitzers...

When playing CW RE, I cannot seem to understand how to upgrade my CW Rifles for the Precision Shot (I can upgrade Bren and Rifle Grenade).
Maybe a button is missing there?

Where does one get the 76mm M7 Anti Tank Gun?
I wanted to try it, but in the US Docs I only find the 76mm M5 as an AT-Gun, the M7 I do not find stand-alone (only on vehicles). And in the CW Docs, there is the 6pounder and the 17 pounder as AT guns.
Thanks!

I never considered the 95mm Churchill to be so heavily armored, and I play CW RE most often when playing Allied troups. But maybe I just got lucky... Overall I consider CW RE quite strong, so I would be fine with nerfing the 95mm Churchill a bit (preferably in terms of armor or cooldown), although I...

My understanding would be, that the glider would replace the LeiG Para-Drop, so while it would be a buff, the Doc would also lose something. Overall I see two ways to go with such a glider: 1) Gebirgs - Falls joint operation: For this, the glider would have to be able to build units in territory not...

Would it please be possible to double-check the Sherman Calliope's 75mm gun? It seemed to do wonders against Panther A front armor, subjectvely much better than "regular" Shermans (could also have been pure luck, though).

But if this comes, and it sounds like a plan, please also fix the Officers/Retreat points in Luft.
Both the Gebirgsjäger and the Pioneers have the PE Officer as a retreat point, but seem to get no bonuses from him:

What is actually a TD? For me, when I cast my vote, I thought of TD as any vehicle hat has a big gun (from 3,7cm upwards) and does not have HE rounds. So for me vehicles like StuGs, Comet, Archilles, ... are not something I would see covered here. In other words, I advocate the "free" AP upgrade on...

For me "experience", which is required for CP unlocks, is just another resource like manpower, ammo and fuel. Only the method of gathering this resource is different. Hence, I see CP very much as a part of the cost-balancing going on. I do not think it would be a good balance, if in games other than...

Do I understand correctly, that the reward unit tooltip: "The Jagdpanzer IV/48 is armed with the same gun as the "Hetzer", but is better armored. On the other hand, it is also more expensive." Is not reflecting the currently implemented stats?

2) It’s a walking bomb - if it blows it kills infantry that are too close and damages everything else. Have you ever lost anything to stuka getting destroyed? I can remember lots of times where a Walking Stuka exploding destroyed a unit of mine. Funnily, all of the times I remember I was not playin...

Tigers on the other hand i 100% agree with you hawks, that they DONT need this feature anymore, since they are a powerhouse on their own. Great abilitys, good armor, great gun, super good HE and a top MG. I'm not sure if you know this but from the post it seems you don't so just to clarify - the re...

Building on what has been written I would propose the following: For WH and US Halftracks: Ability to upgrade to weapon support platform (suppression of HMG of that faction, but no more transportation) Ability to reinforce is kept Ablity to go hull down purchasable for 25 ammo, and if in hull down p...

I am also a fan of the CW trucks, as it allows for a quite different playstyle. You gain a mobile base and the possibility to lock down sectors and generate additional resources, but the price is that you cannot garrisson buildings and that the tiering has to be more careully considered (as you do n...

For me the ability to reinforce is like any other ability something to be balanced. So I do not believe it would be good to per se reserve it for halftracks.

When thinking about buffing halftracks and other medic/reinforce light vehicles the first thing that would come to my mind is acceleration and speed. They are utility vehicles and not really a combat unit. Also I believe we should differentiate between the different types. E.g. for the Germans: the ...

Minesweepers detect mines right away. They just have to stand still in order to defuse them Give them to assault pios and its done. Pgrens focus should be fighting and combined arms. +1 Adding the possibility to buy a minesweeper for Assault Pionieers seems reasonable, never the less, I would propo...

Bumping this issue, in the 5.3.1 Beta, the Gebirgsjäger still have the Hauptsturmführer (or the retreat point set by him) as the retrat point, while not getting any (visible) buffs from him. Having to buy a 400MP unit just to get a retreat point (other than the HQ) for Gebirgs is not viable in most ...

Just picking up on the topic, during my 5.3.1 testing I noticed that the Churchills with HE still seems to prioritise tanks and halftracks over infantry.
But the OP seem to be last in the priority list, so this already is quite good, thanks!

I have to agree with MarkR, the smaller maps or maps with up to three choke-points (e.g Bridges) invite building a solid defense first. But this is not something I would put on the Axis side, because the UK can also be played on such maps quite effectively that way. The first reason coming to my min...

I do not condone such a swap. For me Def Doc is cernteres about defensive structures and artillery. And when if comes to artillery, mobility is very important, because stationary units can be taken out quickly (Counterartillery, especially Phosphorus grenades, and air strikes). TH on the other hand ...

Don't they have wire cutters with demo pack if you change their ability page? And RE sappers have them for sure on second page

Maybe I am missing something, but for me:

Dear Blitzkriegers, Picking up on what Krieger Blitzer wrote in this tread , I would like to make the following suggestion: For the UK sappers: add a wirecutter to their "arsenal" For the RE sappers (the one with the Stens): add a wirecutter to their "arsenal" when purchasing the 3 CP (combat) upgra...
