In teamgames this commander is seriously overpowered. I cannot comment on the usability of this commander in 1v1 mode but this commander gets you a lot of get-out-of-jail-free cards in almost any situation.

Especially as you see happen in many teammates, its the axis incentive to have fuel caches quickly. in the longer run these caches grant you an surplus amount of fuel that with the CAS commander you can easily keep conversion into ammo for the abilities and ammo for shrecks etc. The result is you'll see less armor, but more shreck blobs that can be re-outiftted if need be. That makes this commander overpowered. Also the stuka dive bomb can be used to " uncap" VP's at your desire.

Using this commander is knowing that you'll always have some trump cards to play. Going against this commander means having to invest in proper AA and expect shrike blobs. No fun tbh.

Proposed fix is the fuel to ammo conversion from current state to either of 2 options.

1. instead of instant conversion, a slightly (30 / 40 ammo less) smaller conversion over a period of time.
2. Instant, but less amount of ammo conversion. (don't know what a good number would be. but around 20 / 30 % less )
3. (as a fix to teamgames in whole, effectively making this commander also more in line with others) no more shared resources from caches for all team members.

I don't think we can say much about it right now and there's no need for specualtions about it. We'll find out how it will be at the release. Until then let's just be happy with the good and interesting stuff we have right now.

This. People can take an example of you there mate.

Something in this thread is high, but its not the time.

You're attached ranks also are quite undeniable proof that your problem is exactly between chair and a keyboard, not in the balance section(which you still manages to miss).

Your assumption about having a low rank which in your opinion revokes the right to be knowledgeable on a subject is undeniable proof of subjective and detractive reasoning. Don't play the man Katitof, play the topic post. And if you insist on this practice for future posts: As Aerohank pointed out validly, before you spew your reasoning on others, make sure yours is ironclad. Currently it's not even near a leaky sponge.

thanks for that footage. Yeah its hard to spot and see but this situation in particular doesn't seem weird. Even though the sniper squad retreats through red cover, they ARE retreating which gives them sort of a received accuracy bonus against anything that shoots them (as all units do when retreating). The fallschirms are being instantly engaged by 1 penal squad with flamer and a regular conscript squad. thats 12 people firing at 4 guys that are on the move and try to stop 2 sniper squads.

However it does not support my point of fallschirms shouldn't be given some "love", it does support my earlier claim that in this particular case they were improperly used (as I see more often and sometimes catch myself doing when using them). This was an instance of unlucky building popping (in the middle of a frontline with enemy units instantly harassing fallschirms whilst hoping to get a sniper kill) .

I love this unit a lot, however they seem to be woefully underperforming. I know they are suppose to be glass cannons, but their health suffers badly. I spawned behind some snipers a few times and I couldnt manage to kill them! I just don't know their deal... Maybe I'm just not using them correctly but sometimes they perform, most of the time they don't... Maybe they could use some love? Aren't they the most expensive infantry in the game?

I do not agree with your title or your statement. Fallschirms do not need love. They are not underperforming and here is why. I know better than to respond on these forums regarding the flamewars with all the usual suspects already have posted in here. But here's it:

I know they are suppose to be glass cannons

Where or who did it say they are supposed to be like that? Because they surely are not. They pack quite a punch, yes, but they can also handle some damage even tho of the received accuracy modifications to the unit. they do outDPS any vanilla / non upgraded allied unit on the field from medium and long range.

spawned behind some snipers a few times and I couldnt manage to kill them! I just don't know their deal... Maybe I'm just not using them correctly but sometimes they perform

On every occasion of which I used them to kill snipers they did. Flawelessly. Imagine the power of spawning a unit behind enemy lines that does amazing damage on medium / long range, can faust AND throw nades…..

Aren't they the most expensive infantry in the game?

…. Yes. They are expensive. but look at my statement above on why this is justified. Being able to spawn a unit behind enemy lines (especially in team) games that actually packs quite a punch (unlike the partisans who deserve more love if you take this topic into the same consideration) is supposed to be expensive in my eyes. Their potential is huge, but many people, including me on several occasions, use them wrong. The danger of dropping a unit behind enemy lines is that they are unable to cross that line when they need to (in case of a retreat, or leaving engagement).

In these regards I think the problem here lies not within the unit itself, but with the way you deploy and use this unit. When you accept the risk of dropping something behind enemy lines you automatically acknowledge the dangers that come with that risk. A 400 manpower unit that deploys behind enemy lines, packs a punch and can disrupt / distract the enemy, giving you more room to exploit a potential break in a frontline? Thats a steal.
