Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

Partisans (SMG): Buffing an already troublesome unit is questionable. And with this buff, at least their deployment cost should be increased.

They also may need a 2 cp requirement instead of 1 also

Infiltration Commandos
Their cost is fine when we take their nade and camo into consideration. And the synergy with the doctrine .

Their original price of 440 is seriously overpriced, and the grenade starts on cool down. The doctrion more synergizes with infantry sections with the Advanced Cover Combat

5. Free stuff from teching:
USF officiers, specially the captain, don't cause the shock value and impact they used to inflict.

Nerf grens?

The USF Officers are free infantry squads that preform like elite infantry with the Thompsons. And major is like, here is free fall back point with other powerful utilities at no extra cost.

Grens will still keep their lmgs. Peresonally I would rather change it so grens are in T0 while the MG42 would be in T1. This could make panzerfausts fine since they actually require T0 in live. But, rifle grenades still should be bought.

6. Ostheer Teching
Interesting idea, if not a bit complicated.

Just imagine it if was research hammer or anvil

Conscripts
With their received accuracy bonus, they don't lose models as much as grens or volks.

They tend still to be outperformed by volks and grens in the late game, thus losing models.
This just makes easier to recover from engagements.

Air dropped weapons
Those suggested costs are a bit low.

In comparison Air Resupply Operation gives one MG and AT gun for 150muns plus other bonus
Additionally the player also have to save up for his rocket strafes.

US Recon Support
They are more like the brits sniper now actually. Do they inflict death-crits?

Well they are two man squads and the sniper weapon is equal to the soviet sniper. The other man calls in the strikes. They are not equipped with anti material rifle like the brits.

Infantry Sections
The unit is indeed problematic and your solution seems legit. Not sure about the cost reduction as they can be still equipped with Dual Brens/Superpiats

Brens on Sections are actually really not that big of a problem. Their DPS increase is actually quite minimal while brens on sappers was a problem. And Piats are being address with the WBP. This mod is more meant after the WBP.

Valentine
Actually, It arrives a bit early. 6 is fine, mind you Light vehicles are one of the most complained about subjects, and they are getting fixed (somehow).

The Valentine is quite weak vs infantry and the timing is about when panzer 4s start to deployed. The cost is equal to a T34/76

Most likely, that's the case. Can you please open a separate thread in the bug-section of these forums? That way it's easier to keep track of things.

Here is bug outside of the WBP. I was experimenting with a weapons team style for USF. So I decided to use Cheap Team Weapons bulletin for well cheaper weapon teams. I noticed that while is says cost of these weapons will be reduced by 5% it only really does about 1 or 2%. I think the problem is that it only applies to the cost of the weapon itself and not the crew members.

The location of the bulletin is upgrade\intel_bulletins\ardennes_rewards\support\cheap_team_weapons, in case if you all have trouble finding it.

The quick fix solution I can think of is to have the call-ins on a timer rather than insta spawn, I would even go as far as to apply this to infantry also, it's already been discussed in-depth with infiltration units but I'm referring to all other off map call in infantry.

Don't mind if I steal this for my mod?

In reference to the form I posted here. https://www.coh2.org/topic/58327/things-to-consider-for-future-patches. I figured why not make a mod of my suggestions and others. I have plenty of time before I come home from my deployment.

The mod can be found here. Note This mod does not incorporate winter balance preview because I did not feel like modding in all the changes.

1. Call ins
Show Spoiler
*New: All call ins now have a delay timer so now they do not instantly spawn. Times change based on type of unit.
Infiltration are 10 sec,
Infantry are 30
Mid game vehicles are 60 secs
Heavies and late game are 120 sec


2. Balancing Infiltration
We do not need more squad wiping machines but they need to be able to scale in the late game. Here are alterations. Also, all grenades start on cool down now
