Profile of Stark

Is there any AT gun model that haven't been used? There is a soviet m42 AT gun which could be transfer into a german 3.7 cm Pak 36 which looks almost the same. But that sadly matches more ostheer ostroopen commander rather than OKW

I meant healing other squads as a vet 0 ability, which was what you and/or Stark were suggesting.

I was only correcting that in the case of such a vet 0 healing ability, its utility wouldn't drop off over time because it's likely that after the patch with Breakthrough the majority of the infantry composition is going to be Panzerfusiliers, who do not get passive healing with veterancy.


I think it's definitely interesting to look into fitting it in somewhere, so the unit gets a more strategic role (skip fuel on medics to rush tanks faster, or skip med crates for more munitions for weapon upgrades) on top of a pure combat role. It'd synergize well with Panzerfusiliers, which would help set Breakthrough apart from the new Grand Offensive commander.

So maybe a upgradable healing like Tommies have? That could be interesting to see but it wouldn' solve the issue of vet5 bonus

So to explain, all of the new commander patch changes have to be recreated given how the mod and updates work. The changes for that patch have already basically been finalized, and for the past few weeks things were/are being worked on at the Relic side.

This meant that there's been a few weeks of down time for those not involved with the implementation, so in the mean time, we've been brainstorming some stuff we'd like to see in the future, conditions allowing. Not all of these changes are as much of a no brainer as this sturm officer stuff though. The list is about as far from official as it gets, and we're not even decided on what direction we would like to take some stuff to be honest. The bottom line is that at the minimum, I'd imagine we'd want to wait until the new commander patch is released, bug fixed, and rebalanced (a lot of stuff pops up when you have ~20000 people a day play testing, and not 10) before we even think about submitting this list to the community.

It's good to hear that there are still plans to release patches and support the CoH2. Personally i find the game quite balance right now. Of course there are few basic units or tech structure that could be twicked (OKW T4 etc.), but generally i would prefer next patches to focus again on revamping existing commanders. List of bad commanders is quite long sadly. Perfect example is meansioned sturmOffizier and bugged Breakthough artillery barrage.

Sturm Offizer

-Veterancy 5: Self-healing

As vet5 is quite hard to get and officer should be focus on supporting nearbly troops i would like to suggest a group healing like Commissar or UKF Tommies have rather than self-healing. It would make more sense imo.

Also I expereinced the "vilshanka bug" on this map.

Can you explain?

I played on this map and want to give some feedback and my personal opinion about this map.

OPINION
1. cochosgo has right about the main streets on this map. He may not used a good arguments and he didn't add any proposition to fix it but in main meaning he is right. They are the key of this map. Side that holds it rules the map and VPs. That could work in 1v1 gamemode but it's design to be 2v2.
2. Passages are quite narrow. Narrow enough to lock the side with 1 heavy MG and 1 AT gun. There is only 2 main streets that matters. That force players to focus support weapon, artillery and long range units. That leads to artillery feast later game which isn't pleasant, don't require a lot of skill from the player and games vs technicly weaker team can last way longer. Map isn't bad at early game but with time it becomes it in the later stages of a match.
3. Visually the map looks really nice, plenty of details that many basic maps lacks but that doesn't help Białystok Market to be competition map and definitely it's not a turney map.
4. Location of ammunition points is in both corners of the map. Becouse of the position of the bases makes it really hard to take from the oposite side. Of course there is a cut off on the center of the map - that's true but again, that\s to narrow design of the map and tactics uses on it (MG build or blobing) makes it hard to decap for long. That leads to the moment that both sides has constant income of ammo and a lot of off map abilities comming from a commanders which again isn't good.
5. Corners of the map are unused. Even if players will acually go to the enemy ammo point or territory near it - the retreat point will lead straight through mid there is the biggest clusterfuck (which basicly means dead squad). Again narrow design forces players to make big tactical groups (aka. blobs).
6. Even after big changes this map will never be a turney one like Rails and Metals, Crossing in the woods or Elst.
I WILL ADD MORE LATER

FEEDBACK
1. allow to move infantry between ruins (open mid VP for the infantry from north and south - currently it can be enter only from left and right),
2. move ammo point closer to the middle, center line of the map,
3. That may sound to drastical but i would also suggest change the side of the map. Make it wilder but in the same time a little shorter. There should be then enough space to move ammo points on to more competitive areas and allow players to move some forces from middle,
4. add more medium crush especially on left and right side,
5. channel on top right side - change the angle and size of it to be smaller.
I WILL ADD MORE LATER
