I am against removing FRP. It's pretty much the only reason I bother playing on larger maps. In small maps wouldn't you not bother setting them up due to the much lower retreating distance?

FRP also cost resources, even Major cost resources to deploy, and while he is mobile, he is also a 3-man squad. OKW's HQ truck requires deploying first, and cost more resources. UKF can upgrade every Assembly, but it's still costing you.

Technically, you can play as all factions and ignore the FRP capability.

I've won without using FRP and I've got my arse kicked relying heavily on it. It has it's advantages but it also has its drawbacks. If you (or your teammates) don't screw things up you can have the cake and eat it too. FRP can be easily exploited by an enemy with Katyusha or Scott that wipe your depleted squads.

And I doubt Relic will go out of their way to remove FRP yet somehow retain it for 3v3/ 4v4, if that's even possible.

And if FRP is removed, the situation won't be resolved. If the problem is blobbing, then the fact is they can blob back to someplace besides HQ sector. People aren't going to not blob just because they need to go back to HQ now. You already have that when HQ truck or Forward Assembly is destroyed.

Yes, great idea to create epic bulletins that in effect negate every other bulletin in the game.

I like the way OKWs HQ trucks worked. The way it works now is OK, but it's cheap cost and rather fast build rate means you no longer have the timer mechanic.

Personally I think making it similar to the British CoH1 style of deploying the trucks from command bar may be more useful.

To be fair though, it was clear the change was so you can tech faster, as you don't need to wait like 200 seconds between each truck to deploy for free. However the addition of making KT deploy like doctrinal unit kind of brings more whack to the change.

I beg to differ; you're forgetting that one thing I liken to call

"idiot teammates".

The only solution is to add the Hotchkiss to Ostheer.

The perfect solution.

If Ostheer was in fact OKW then that would be a great idea.

But not, so not.

But I get your point: a unit like the Hotchkiss seems to be the sort of unit Ostheer needs in place of the 222. IMO, 222 is at times lethal, but not durable, I believe that is the biggest issue. I for one never bother using 222 simply because baseline infantry can quickly pick away at its health and severely crippled when any AT comes around.
If however you get a unit like a 234/1 (Puma with 20mm gun, for those that don't know), you get a unit that is more durable...but no difference in firepower. Seeing as the 234s were recon vehicles, the roles is perfect. Heck, the closest variant, the Puma, is only a call-in vehicle.

So I guess to say, 222 should just become 234/1.
