So we could finally use some support teams as axis? A cheapass starter unit can sprint from one side of the map to the other end(long duration) , burn MGs, ATGs, deny access to cover and severely cripple even the heaviest vehicles.This mob-like play style is against competitive game play and prevents people from enjoying the game.


I think removing this ability and moving it to Shocks would be a good idea and a right step towards symmetric and fair balance.

Cons are weak enough for it not to make a huge difference imo.

Its nice as it means the ost/okw player has to react faster, but it doesn't stop suppression, and most tanks can reverse fast enough not to be too exposed when hit by an AT nade.

Putting this ability on shocks though, that would be insane, they kill too well at close and letting them get to close range faster would remove their main period of vulnerability; when they are closing with their target.

It makes a huge difference in early game against MGs and cover, and late game against vehicles. Most of the times shocks fail to get in their optimal range, so it wouldn't be insane IMO.

Yes, the moment Rifle nade, pfaust and LMG become separate 125/25 upgrades.

Shocks have smoke grenades to close distances, and FMR gives all infantry super buffs, so super shocks run around the map during the duration of that ability.

If Molotovs got a range increase to 30 and 40 at vet 2, AT nades got a penetration buff, and conscripts could get a DP-28 upgrade.. Sure, why not?

To be fair, HtD used to be pretty insane. I think it used to multiply cover bonuses or something, so if you were in green cover cons became nearly invincible.

I still find myself using it a fair bit to beat MGs and survive in close range fights.

I have a better suggestion. First lower their size to three models, then remove Oorah and make them a non capping unit until they hit vet 3!
Thats balanced my friend :snfPeter:

This is true, but 2CP is too late in my humble opinion

I always thought that Hit the Dirt! should just make conscripts act as they would be when suppressed, but be immune to getting pinned.

And if anything Oorah! would be more appropriate as a vet 1 ability as it is on Penal battalions. If anything though, Penals are the ones that should have the ability without vet. As a tech option requiring fuel? No, I don't think that would work unless it then became a free ability, which would be, well, still a no.
