Agreed. The changes look well-thought out instead of knee-jerk reactions. |
That advantage is meaningless outside of sniper duels. It's nice to have, of course, but most of the time snipers are shooting regular squads. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I agree that the German sniper needed a durability buff, but I was thinking 64 health or so, not Soviet sniper health. I thought the whole point of the Soviet sniper is that they're more survivable in general. |
I can feel my heartstrings tearing. Why u do this to me, Relic? Also, as far as I'm concerned, Japs is just short for Japanese. I don't see what the big deal is. You'd never hear me cry racism because someone called me a Yankee. |
Forgive me for not reading the entire gigantic thread, but I have a concern about the German sniper which I hope has not been mentioned yet.
So Soviet snipers do....what, exactly, better than their German counterpart now? They no longer have sprint (understandably), flares aren't that useful compared to incendiary shot, they have a slower fire rate, and have the same overall health now (if I remember correctly) but have to reinforce when they get down to half health unlike the new German sniper. What do they do better than Germany's? Because now the Soviet sniper team looks like a straight downgrade. |
Basically all the artillery in this game besides the Stuka and B4 suck. Buff howitzers, katyushas, panzerwerfers, across the board. |
About the only three I got is:
StuG III -> Stig (we once played against a guy named Thestigmaster so the joke stuck)
Pinzerkimpfwigen -> Same joke as before
Obersoldaten with STG. 44's -> Assault terminators who say "It is better to die for the Führer than to live for yourself." |
The Italians did a halfway decent job when Germany was bailing them out. Lel.
The Japanese could have a lot of interesting ambush and infantry tactics. The whole point of the faction would be a unique style of gameplay. People keep saying Japan won't fit because of bad tanks, yet they don't think of how different their tactics were. They just picture a copy+paste of Germany with bad units. |
Definitely UK and Japan. I'd be so excited for Japan. I don't want to see another German faction, and I especially don't want to see an Italian faction. Bleh. |
Reading through this thread, I've seen way more people saying "no! Japanese can't be included because including Japanese prototype tanks would be stupid!" than anybody actually advocating for the inclusion of Japanese prototype tanks. I know I'm speaking for myself here, but I just want a heavy emphasis on infantry, light-medium vehicles, and combined arms with lots of traps and ambush tactics. |
I think one of the main things that USF needs is non-doctrinal mines that don't suck. |
