Erm game already has reconnect capability.

Once, it even worked!

Melchett Regiment

1- Deploy Captain: Cpt. Blackadder, grants global defensive buff, but reduces movement range to nearby units. Special ability is "Throw insults", causes everyone in a designated area to retreat.

2- Deploy Lieutenant: Lt. George, grants global movement speed, but reduced defensive effectiveness to nearby units. Special ability is "Naive enthusiasm", causees everyone in designated area to stop retreating.

3- Deploy Darling: Cpt. Darling, improves global resource income but makes nearby units take more damage.

4- Deploy Melchett: General Melchett, reveals entire map, but not enemy units.

5- Deploy Baldrick: All Infantry Sections have the "Cunning Plan!" ability, which makes them do random things, like instantly capturing sector, or calls in artillery barrage on themselves.

No it's finally when they balance Eldar in DoW3.

Releasing new shoddy commanders to fans make money. What does fixing them do? Make the game even more messy.

You don't need a new health bar. USF squads show their health when inside vehicles. You just have certain damage applied to the squad while reducing damage to the vehicle. Once the crews die off, the vehicle is abandoned, just like how team weapons work.

Crews just need a way to self-heal so that you don't need to micromanage their survivability as well.

USF can retain their uniqueness by being able to debark crews to swap, heal faster, or assist in repairs. The other factions just treat it as a secondary thing to consider. You just apply the self-heal passive to them when not in combat, otherwise you have tanks stuck in base at full health but need to wait for crews to heal up. That's the biggest design issue.

I'd honestly prefer a different mechanic where players can opt to destroy their "near-dead" vehicles rather than risk abandoning to enemy. That way if you really want to capture that King Tiger, you can't just keep shooting it, you need a riflemen to throw grenades or whatever when it's just about dead, so there's still the element of RNG to abandoning.
Of course problem with THAT idea is, the RNG idea currently is sufficient. Take it away and most of the game will be about trying to capture other vehicles rather than just playing the game.
