Buildings arent really the problem, faction design of OKW/USF/Brits are since they have no efficient way of clearing buildings (mortar)

give that man a bells

1. Relic bans, not me. 2. It stands in the rules: If you are banned more often, the duration increase and can lead in the end to permaban 3. The Case is bigger as you guys think. So pls step 1 step away pls. 4. I am not a player in the 4vs4 cup, because of RL work.

This is all fine and dandy for ost and sov with their non-doc flamers, but the WFA and british factions?

For USF, you either force commander choice (armor or rifle) or make them tech nades early, severly hampering their early game flexibility.

For okw, its less severe, with their flamenades and sturmpio's, but on certain map (stone house infested arnhem or lierneux for example) this doesn't cut it.

As for brits, better hope you get that vickers in a nice building, else you're done for.

And don't get me started on how much it takes to destroy a freaking stone building (or the FHQ related cheese....)

So ye, i don't like this company of buildings.

I disagree on your point about USF losing flexibility due to teching nades. It gives you smoke + grenades, that makes your rifles alot more flexible depending on the situation. I know you meant faction, but rifles are a big part of it.
The other thing is, don't play your opponents game, if he jumps in a building and you keep attacking it and fail at countering, then you are doing it wrong. Make yourself unpredictable, do things that make him question if keeping 1 necessary unit in a building or not. I have a replay on Semoskiy, where my opponent wires my bridge and puts an mg in the building, I just put my focus on him catching me, eventually getting the cutoff point back.

Building rushing meta is pretty annoying, not unbeatable but annoying.

In addition I would prefer for each unit to have a time to get out just like MGs. The instant hopping is simply stupid.

This is a great change I feel.

The problem against good players is that grenades are not a reliable counter to garrisoned units, they are too easy to dodge. This change would help grenades in that department, as well as help reduce the pervasiveness of garrison play these days.

From today's patch notes for the 25th: "Grenades, Satchel Charges, and other Explosives can now damage buildings."

This could help a little bit.

I've always had the feeling that Satchel Charges damaged buildings

- I really wish we could throw grenades, use abilities while inside
building, or Halftracks.
- Sniper Stealth/withhold fire while within building

People complain the Soviets are useless.
Well, they are useless if you fight your units 1vs1. But they are all about Synergy.
What do I care if you have a Panther? Once you are crippled from running over a mine
I wait until you repair it with your 3x SturmPioneers and tell my 3x Mortars to fire at it.
did you know Vet 1 Mortars get FLARE?!

- 900 Manpower down the drain. - Panther still can't move worth a damn.
