Assuming the upgrade does need to come sooner (and that's still just an assumption at this point imo), one way to avoid the coinciding with the T-70 powerspike at T3 (which is one of the reasons it was placed in T4) would be to introduce a battlephase-esque side-tech in T3 (like the secondary unlock for USF techs) that unlocks the 7 men Cons upgrade.
The cost of this side-tech would be deducted from the cost of T4 and the upgrade would be a requirement to put up T4. This way the Cons upgrade could come a bit sooner while keeping the exact same timings/costs for tech.
One downside of this is that it effectively does nothing for non-Con builds, but then again that is also how most of the Battlephases for Ostheer work (some give an upgrade for some units, some give access to other units, some just do nothing).
So for example:
Again though, that's assuming the upgrade needs to come sooner. We're going to need a few weeks of testing to get a good (objective) feel for it before meddling with this imo.
I agree, let's not rush a decision on this conscript topic
I'd vote yes if Ostruppen lmg was given the same treatment.
Fair enough but I have to say that "escalate to battlephase 3" is a much smaller requirement with how cheap it is (100/25 I think) compared to soviet t4 building
Btw, outside from this context but have to mention it. What do you guys think about trading the AT package between Sturmpio (since its lackluster for 70 ammo) and Panzerfusiliers (should get 1 Pzshrek instead)?
A Panzerfusilier squad with 1 schreck would be horrible at pretty much everything I think. Dont forget their K98 is much worse than the one from Volks
Why not
Though I´d say that its mainly the early game where Cons struggle and should be (/have been) buffed, cause thats when they are not yet synergising with flamers, snipers, T70, guards and all other stuff
In the early game they dont have an easy time vs OKW but they're definitely strong enough vs Ostheer
so i guess you dont go for the flak but save up for teching? brit blobs are the main issue, if they get too close they will flare the heal truck and their blobs are hard to keep at bay in general. playing as OKW just feels so MP starved that i cant fight back properly.. i tried this though and had moderate luck but end up getting my healtruck flared in the end and overrun by the point i got my cmd panther out
Yeh I usually skip flak halftrack to rush p4 asap. I only get the flak if my opponent is a t1 soviet player.
they said " A quick heads up that we are now looking to release this patch next week (beginning the 10th of June)"
i understand the patch is delaying
But wouldn't it be common sense to issue a new notice and apologize if the patch was delayed?
trolling?
Did your brain rot?
Andy literally said yesterday in the shoutbox that the patch is planned for Friday, 11 AM (Vancouver time). Since then, everyone is talking about it and you wanna tell me that you missed it completely?
