Profile of Ægion

Actually I think (with Eagions skills) the Goliath could become a team-weapon with a 3-man crew (1-man needed to crew the team-weapon). The crew would move with the goliath all bunched up (close formation like an HMG team). The goliath would be deactive (non detonateable), when you want to detonate the Goliath the player has to toggle deploy the goliath which makes the crew immobile and the Goliath mobile for "x range".



This is more of an realism mod kind of thingy, I actually like having the goliath as mobile unit.

I tried this idea for a bit. The game can get a bit buggy with using team weapons. There are of course no crew markers for the Goliath. Lets take the MG42 for example. If you remove the crew roles actually man the MG the squad will treat the MG as its own model like showing 5 instead of 4 in the decorator. If that model goes down, reinforcing also bugs out. For making the 'crew' stationary and Goliath free movement. I do not see a way to tether a unit like this. Maybe a movement speed aura if it goes out of range but either it would come to a dead stop and can not come back or it can still creep away.

With small variations to the previous showing. This is the outcome.


The Goliath is apart of the squad. Once the order is given it will charge and detonate. Pathing could be adjusted with better turn rates. The Goliath can be reinforced by any reinforce point, for munitions of course. The unit can still retreat though I may need to relook at the speed/posture modifiers for this unit because the Goliath does lag behind. If you want to take a closer look at the two abilities, My mod has been updated. The Goliath from the vehicle is available to the opel blitz with the Feursturm doctrine and the Goliath squad is available to the Overwatch Doctrine. I am expecting a lot of bugs, primarily if there are two Goliath on the field.

That one is a push too as it will be re crewed instantly.

Exactly

One large problem for the ML20 is the number of doctrines with recon + off map.

-Close Air support
Recon pass, stuka dive bomb

-Jaeger Armor Doctrine
Recon overflight, Stuka Dive bomb

-Joint Operations
Recon overflight, light artillery +pak43 +lefh 18

-Luftwaffe Supply
Recon overflight, Stuka Bombing

-Spearhead Doctrine
Recon overflight, Fragmentation Bombs

-Storm Doctrine
Smoke Bombs, Stuka Dive Bomb +Lefh18

These six doctrines can hard counter the ML20

Soviets Recon plus off map

-Anti infantry
Recon, incendiary arty

-Soviet Combined Arms Army
Recon, Il2 +ML20

That is it

I would say the best buff to the ML 20 is to first address the Recon + Off maps first.

I was wondering in regards to caches: reduce the cost to 200 manpower in 1v1 games but remain 250 manpower in team games. It would make sense for them to be more expensive if it affects the whole team but less so if it doesn't.

As of right now, I think the cashes are in a good spot. Before and after the 200 manpower nerf, it is already a rare sight for cashes in 1v1s. I am honestly surprise people do not use opel blitz more often in 1v1s. They retain their 200 manpower call in and provide the effect of one munitions and one fuel cashe. While they do not lockdown a sector but they can be safer when put in a corner.

Ugh flaming and trolling my ass. I am serious. This game is unbalanced and no one in the community it seems wants to admit it except me.

No, you are not the only one. If there is only a handful strategies then there is something wrong. I believe there is mostly a lot of issues with design aspects.
