It's weaker than other at guns, unless you spam it and sneak up on tanks. So normal use worse, Spam it and you can kill tanks without any combined arms, this is not good design and I hope the goal is to end this dynamic, while ultimately making it easier to use in a balanced army.

I'm just saying AT guns shouldn't retreat. If the Rak isn't good enough without retreat, change it further. But AT guns shouldn't retreat

You are right, at guns shouldn't retreat. Live version of rak isn't an at gun, it is just a shitty cheese cloak gimmick. Good at cheese, horrible at being dedicated at gun. The way they changed it now, basically butchered it out of use lol. Giving it's retreat back is their way of admitting they don't know how to fix it. Who knows? I certainly don't. It's design is so seriously flawed, that you almost have to replace it with a pak 40 or something.

atcaully if it comes after the first truck call in (not set up) it will still come around the same time as clown car

tier + clown car = need to wait 5 fuel

truck = need to wait 5 fuel

just

clone the usf at gun


remove the pen round ability

add current preview cloak and first strike bonus to give it 50% more accuracy and pen for the first shoot

tada it's unique now and perfect counter to early LV and LT thanks to bonus accuracy for the first shoot

adjust the vet accordingly


Your vision of the game is clusterfucked by your obsession of math. Raketen coming after first truck has more implication than counting own much fuel it cost.
OKW is starting with 300 manpower with the v1.2, that's -40 manpower which will delay the 3rd volks much more significantly but also the first truck. Versus an early M3, if the rak is locked behind the truck you are fucked because you'll be unable to hold territory until the truck and then the rak are built.
The only way for the OKW player to get the rak in time is to build the truck as 3rd unit which leave you with 1 SP and 2 volks, pretty much a suicide in term of territory holding anyway.

The only way to make rak after truck working is giving volks pfaust native again which would get us back into volks spam as hard counter to anything.

So in my opinion, just forget about your wet dreams of M1 clone for OKW, that's not viable for the faction.

What probably need OKW is a less cheesy Jpz4 for mid game to counter medium tanks by reducing its fuel price and its super cheesy abilities: Camo, super low target size and health boost to heaven level. Make it solid like the stug but with better range, keep the target size low but not so much for 110/120 fuel.

i really like that radio silence gets some extra benefits. i think all abilities with same functioning should gets such. Like breaktrough tactics could get small increase in rate of fire and such.

Game wide changes for all factions

Heavy call-in tank changes for all factions



One of the issues with Super heavy tank is that they can instantly be replaced when lost in large MODs imo. Imo that can be fixed with the a cool-down that start after the unit is lost.

In addition Super heavy tanks now seem to come earlier messing the timing and competing with doctrinal premium mediums tanks forcing more use of heavy TDs and making the window of opportunity even smaller for mediums tanks. Imo a simpler solution would be to keep the time frame the same as now (or reduce cp by 1-2) and lower fuel cost instead.

Finally the extra fuel cost for heavy TDs combined with the high will completely remove them from 1v1 and 2v2 mods. One could consider offering a discount for every tech building built/researched.

Medics



Did not have time to test this thoroughly but they seem as solid changes. Maybe one could increase the range of heal to help with bug that make medic stuck in trying to heal an entity?

Imo one should also be able to set a retreat with in the base sector. This could greatly help USF to protect their ambulance better.

We wanted to change that, but it seems to be impossible to let cooldowns start upon a unit's destruction.

airborne doesnt heal... it just allows reinforce...

the real doctrinal soviet healing options are

1. commissar
2. urban defense bases

but of course all factions must be measured irrespective of doctrines... doctrines are there to add flavor not viability...

of course some say the lack of mass healing is the soviet`s "weaknesses".... if that is the case then i want the grenadier buffs to be reverted so that wehrmacht retains its "weakness" of squishy squads...


100% agreed.

Thanks for the clarification, maybe have the CD before the unit appears then? Maybe 1-2 minute delay before the unit appear when called in?

What do vehicles have to do with 4 model mainline non doc infantry squads getting wiped too easily? You want to argue that a T70 is weak lol? Or a Su76 is weak and does not perform well vs Ostheer tier 3 units? You want to argue that the Su85 is bad?


He claimed ost looses lots of squads unjustly to he rounds. So i countered soviet lower armoured vehicles always get unjustly penned by specilized at.

Since this patch is overhauling everything, can we look at the USA base? So many maps, like crossroads, add an unnecessary micro burden for USF since the size of the base prevents retreating squads to even end up in the same place i.e. then you have to move them to the healing of the ambulance.

Cant add proper base for USF according to balance team. Sander93 explained in other thread that normal base layout for USF would be too unbalanced. You could hide your ambulance and prevent it from being easily one shot after all.

Ahaha yes, he also say the ambulance one shot mechanism is impossible to solve, game engine forbid the ambulance to have more HP or faster acceleration. :clap:

No dude your are deliberatly trying to spin my post. Where did i say that 30 less fuel should equal in preformance? Not ever!

He was caliming ost 4 men squads unjustly suffer at he rounds and and explosives. I made the case for ost having lower hp squads but better armour to balance it out. And sov having lower armour values but higher hp inf as designd by relic.

Now i cant wait what you try to spin this into.
