I'd support a bump in damage to 200 damage to set the tiger apart as a better AT unit readjust AOE profile as needed but it would help make the tiger a better choice against elite enemy armour.
Okw has enough AT that making the KT AT as well would just be overkill and would have to frustratingly OP to be even worth picking. Hell the tiger got a small AI nerf and people are crying harder that I've seen in ages, making the KT like that too.... It's a no from me dog.
I'd actually say that stormtroopers are well designed, it's other infiltration units that are less well designed. Infiltration units should be assault mainline replacements, they should be maximized by using them properly. It's one of the few mechanics that isn't just range ffs. Add more depth don't take more away.
If you are going all in on sim city without triggering brace before hand then that issue is with the player, all it takes, all it takes is a Leig, a flame nade, pshrecks or flamers to walk next to the pit, cause brace and then attack.
Hell even use an off map, trigger brace and then move in. If UKF had another indirect option, it wouldnt be an issue, remove brace, keep the pit if you want but give them a mobile mortar and you can do whatever you want to brace. Until then you remove brace, you remove the pit, you remove brits in team games as they have no other way to smoke that relying on team mates or spending a fuck ton of muni.
Out of all the things UKF have, brace isn't that big of an issue, it has counters, if you are attacking without triggering the counter then just like most units, that isnt the games fault, you dont counter S mine fields by running a squad through them, you sweep them or use vehicles and if there is a teller mine or an MG watching that position then you deal with that in the correct way.
Take the MG's vet 1 ability for example, kills some LV's very effectivley, if I want to push that MG with my LV, because you know, I have no mobile mortar for indirect free smoke, I bait him into switching to Irounds, back off and wait for it to cool off, then push in. Sound familiar?
I was referring to the old emplacements, back when cancer was an issue, not now where they are all too easy to defeat. Emplacements have been nerfed hard and are not an issue anymore really, but their design from the start was problematic. Nothing so high impact with so little micro should be able to withstand with no loss. I maintain, if brace inflicted a stacking mp penalty like the old soviet crew repair did for muni emplacements could have been almost unchanged because saving them would have required some more input than 1 click to quadruple their health (or more depending on how far back you go with brace)
Sturmtiger
...
Added damage bonus of 1.3 vs emplacements. Sturmtiger will now one shot an unbraced Mortar Pit."
At some point the incorporated another thing I had suggested and add extra damage similar to AVRE.
There it is. Thanks for digging it up for me Vip. You could imagine my surprise using the largest fortification fuck you-er in the game for a hole in the ground and a few sand bags to withstand
I'd sooner they be replaced with something thematic to the commanders than just another off map, something weaker and less versatile so that picking these behemoths is a choice. Like straight up id put fucking rapid conscription into combined arms for isu Idgaf. Not sure what to put in jeager armour though. Granted elefant is less flexible than the isu so maybe even a stuka at strafe would tone down the commander and keep it thematic.
Well with amount of trolling going around unfortunately I find myself in a position to point when one of the suggestion I have made in the past suddenly becomes popular.
I've always agreed that all in one commanders were bad design. I'd sooner a each faction have solid and balanced cores and have commanders flavor and flare (no not the okw flare). A refinement based on playstyle not dictated by the whims of what combination is always good.
All in all, i think it would be easier and more healthy to the game if you were to move the IL2 bombing strike from the ISU commander and the same be done with the Stuka dive bomb from Jaeger armor.
This is what needs to be done. No commander should "have it all"
