Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

I favor AELegion's mod suggestion, but also think that Planet Smasher's solution to the problem is better because of 2 things on top of what Legion suggests, and those are that the British will be more mobile without having to rely on static in-direct fire positions thus crumbling Sim-City's support, effectively killing it and that it's still preserving the British uniqueness.

Using the USF Fighting Position as a static emplacement is only unique 50% of the time due to the USF using it as an MG emplacement already, while the British mortar emplacement model will go to waste then.

The reason why I chose the fighting position model, was because it was nice and small. I did look around for the CoH1 mortar emplacement model but it is not in the game while the 25 pounder pit is in the game.

Interesting. I could definitely see that working a lot better.

So do you still keep brace? I personally feel that balance can't be properly addressed until brace either works as a gameplay element or is removed (hence my post).

Maybe a weaker version, but I am not sure. For my mod, I was more focused on the offense and coverage to think how precisely to adjust brace or what would be a good balance for it. It is hard to balance some things when no one gives feed back. But with DBP, I am not really concern with it at the moment. Once or if the DBP is live, I am probably going to re-due my mod or incorporate all the changes in which there is a lot of bug fixes for it.

With the DBP been announced I decided to finish up touches on my mod. I am not going to be working on my mod for now until the DBP is done or off alternative changes and present them in my mod.

Oh Relic!!!! 99% of the patch balance notes are not needed, or at least are not urgent. Why wasting that energy and effort doing that? Please Relic listen the damn community.

Priorities are:
- Increase OST Panther DPS or ROF (or reduce price). Not nerfing it. Read well please Relic.
- Reduce in some way the cancer pits of the Brits.
- Reduce Penals effectiveness.
- Increase Conscripts effectiveness.
- Remove double Brens, doublé 1919s and double BARs.
- Reduce Dhsks effectiveness.

That´s it. Doing this, you balance at least 80% of the issues.

???

-Panther: Problem is teching. It can be BS against to fight with Jacksons since of their lower pen Rate.
-Mortar Pits: More Doctrines that can handle them.
-Penals: Penals are weaker vs light vehicles
-Conscripts: they are being buffed
-Double 1919s are removed along time ago and double Brens are not the problem, 5 man squad is. Double bar are weaker than Pgrens.
-Dhsk: getting nerfed

For Soviets, maybe Shock Motor Heavy Tactics and Industry. First design of KV-2 doctrine wasn't that bad. Maybe if they change passive immediately tank building on somehow ability that have a cool down or something different like that cool stuff from campaign where we got free T-34 for every medium vehicle lost.

For the T-34, I was about to implement something for that for my mod, but a weaker variant. You can probably see the problems if it were to be too strong.
