Sections need their out of cover stats reverted

Volks are cheaper, they are not better. One has to be braindead to let 4 volks advance across open cover past 4 tommies and a suppressing bren carrier, then eat a flame nade, and then eat a spec ops nade to loose a squad.

Also it is a bit weird how two vehicles with more expensive tech (with lower starting resources) might be better than one vehicle, hmmmmm I wonder why.

Do you know the arc of each MG?

Jump back to quoted post26 Apr 2019, 18:58 PMVipper

30 degrees for bren with Horizontal speed 65
60 for kubel with Horizontal speed 24

on the other hand the rotation is
40 for kubel and
60 for WC

TBH, this is what makes them feel "clunky" to use and not good sniper counters in both cases.

Your suggested changes were tried and then reverted in testmod a year ago, mostly because 280mp sections got walked over by volks and even ostruppen.



If you nerf bolster then you would have to swap at made from sapper to Tommy, add a mortar, non doc flamers to make up for that loss of aggression. Otherwise you'll have an OKW stompfest like testmod a year ago.

a 120 arc for both would be much better

The Kubel has very low DPS on the move and that it what make it bad at chasing snipers.

I agree with increasing reinforce cost of Tommies, and I also agree about bolster, but I take issue with a lot of your other points.

You said that brits have the easiest time of dealing with light vehicles, but when do you ever have more sappers than other factions have mainline infantry squads? (all other mainlines except normal penals have snares). At most I usually build 2 sappers, and that's still a lot less snares than when I'm playing literally any of the other factions. Also, you can still bully lone tommies with light vehicles with only marginally more caution than before since they aren't the ones with snares.

I mean, I wouldn't really be opposed to them having their cover buffs reverted, but I just don't really understand the logic behind it (given that their reinforce cost should go up and maybe lose bolster). I really do wish brits had some sort of cqb unit in any capacity (REs don't count, they're engineers).

AEC is the easiest and best way to counter any light vehicle in the game. Plus it's dirt cheap, and its tech is dirt cheap. Then the piats started working like bazookas and schrecks had a baby. Then snares. And, in a pinch snipers, and AT tommies (not that I'd rely on the last two). And of course the 6pdr which was only slightly nerfed vs lights is still very accurate against them (only 1 in 4 chance of missing a max range shot) Brits have the most stock options available to deal with lights.

Sappers are typically less numerous than mainlines in the average game and are significantly less tough

Tbh if bolster is getting moved around, I think I would rather see it in anvil and an extra weapon slot in hammer to counter balance it. Then we can see the original identity of Tommies as cover specialists return instead of less mobile but more durable rifles. Bolster is such a great and powerful ability it imo should be restricted
