How about a little extra range such a 40 from 35? This could make them able support other units who draw fire rather then fight for themselves?

That would be great. Definitely have hold fire though! Scout and support.

Your squads also bleed MP to vehicles.. that can be repaired... for free.

The vehicles that require 2 at guns 4 volleys for only a few hundred manpower are limited to zero though. An unbraced mortar pit can tank a Sturm tiger rocket for example. A braced one can tank 4 without repairing. And that's the cheapest and squishiest of the emplacements. Without vet.

The problem with emplacements is the enemy could go all in and take heavy losses trying to break up the cancer and if they don't get a complete kill the emplacement will just repair. Bonus points for the pit and bofors is that both can still contribute to a fight even with 1 hp because of range where dealing damage to a vehicle takes it out of the fight for a little while.

Bump the barrage cost to 40 if it's getting a cooldown buff maybe? Decrease cost with vet, buff vet 3 damage to 160 instead of the silly 140 model (for real wtf is this exactly?)

What if really like to see is more glass in exchange for more cannon.
Basicly:
Lower rear armour to the level of taking damage from small arms
In most cases this will do nothing, it's a 60 range speedster, but it would open a new avenue to tackle the su76 if it's not taken care of. It's an open back after all right?
Decrease barrage cooldown and increase cost to compensate.
More accessible as a support weapon but at a cost
Replace tracking with something else. Even a barrage buff in and of it self. Cooldown or cost
An upgrade unlocked when t4 is built that buffs the gun to zis clone levels
This isto ensure that a preserved su76 can become more and be usable in the late game, or offer an alternative economy option to the su85. It'll lack the pen but it'll be cheaper as well. Say an extra 20 fuel and some manpower? Or maybe a fuel ammo combo? Call it su76m upgrade? (I know the 76m was the main production model but we can wiggle a bit here I think)

Basicly scaling is what I'd like to see. Atm it's geared towards lights and doesn't really retain its value to warrant taking the fuel for it earlier. Not so much role refinement but longevity.

I do think Stormtroopers' tactical advance ability cost should be reduced to the same as USF paratroopers; I think it was only higher because Stormtroopers came with STG-44s before and were thusly hilariously powerful with tactical advance.

While I agree about making the costs the same for the sake of consistency, one must be careful giving such power easily to units that can camo. I'd almost sooner nerf the Para version than make ambush insta wipes too cheaply bought

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment regarding getting STGs earlier. The bottleneck for those is munitions not tech. If you are teching at a normal speed, you'll have the munitions for at the very most 2 stg upgrades once BGHQ is built if you didnt bother with any grenades or medkits.


On a more relevant note, I was thinking perhaps locking volks STG upgrade behind BGHQ which would certainly make it picked more, but this is through nerfing mechanized rather through buffing BGHQ and I'm not sure that's a good route to go. Similarly putting Obers in BGHQ would be a simultaneous nerf to Mechanized but buff to BGHQ. I just dont feel mechanized needs a nerf, BGHQ just needs to be more attractive.

Its probably more of a personal experience, as I enjoy munitions play over fuel so i like bee lining them stgs. Take it with a grain of salt. My point however I maintain that bghq should give more to infantry as mech provides vehicles. Make bghq the bread and butter for infantry play.

Perhaps a midway to your suggestion and mine? Increase the cost of stgs by 10 or more and remove it when med is built?
It could be interesting to reintroduce the original "resource starved" okw beck through other means and allow an accommodating power increase as needed.
