The main issue is still present. Until jackson usf has only softcounters to panzer 4.
All factions but usf (and uk) get a nondoctrinal stopgap at, i don.t see the issue with usf having one
Sooo 60% have stop gap AT
As in just over half
And even then, okw doesn't really if they go med truck.
Coincidentally the only factions without stop gap AT are also the only factions that can make any infantry squad they get (even ones they might get for free) into an AT platform. I'm sure it's just an oversight tho... |
And again, didn't read the hole thing, or understod it. But, the point with the stocks makes also clear that it is even more sad that Tiger is limitated.
The Tiger would be an other unit than now, limited to two e. g. to prevent spaming.
If you are going to change the tiger from what it is now (arguably the best all round heavy tank in game) and nerf it to put in non doc what's even the point? And if you are not going to nerf it and still make it non doc AND double the number that a player can build because flavor? It doesn't make sense from a design nor balance standpoint |
ferwiner: For me Tiger would become more like the Panther now, maybe with an extra ability. I would like to see Tiger be the main tank-destroyer of Ostheer, not Panther. Simply to bring the blue-print in line with the presents of King-Tiger. (E.g. if Panther would become a Tiger for Ostheer, there would be simple more Tiger than Kings, for me that seems more logical).
Supplement:
At 1943 Tigers were more present at Ostfront than Panthers, even in Zitadelle the numbers were nearly the same.
So for me Panther would be the perfect replacement for Tiger in old Tiger-Commanders, like M10 for Jackson.
EDIT: Like Comets, I want Tiger be as present as blue-print. The game is like it is, but if there are diriving phantasy verhicle like Pershing, Comets or Land Mattress (all were more rare than Tigers in war) I want to see the the beauty more often. Even as Tank-Destroyer, because there is enough AI stuff.
Tiger is rare in 3vs3+, because other Units are better (with other blue-prints ^^) and even Panther rare because StuG is better, also after the nerf.
There were more ppsh than STGs yet both Axis factions have STGs as a stock weapon for a stock unit and ppsh are all doctrinal. There were more t34/85s than.... Well most bloody tanks yet centaurs and ostwinds find themselves stock with very few of them made. Tiger is a damn fine tank and having it stock would upset the balance that barley exists now. Especially if you inexplicably make it a limit of 2 for what ever reason.... |
Free bail might not be so OP assuming it doesn't give them a durability modifier or auto retreat. Keep in mind they are a large target, if 2 men that's pretty easy to kill and if the player still has to select them and hit retreat it might be enough balance to work given the required for thought to invest in the upgrade and associated... Not BARs that brings |

Pfuss arent used because the doctrine they are in sucks minus them. Even then they arent really worth locking a doctrine for just because you wanted a 6 man volk+.
Which is a shame cuz I do really like Pfuss.
I like fussies too, but the commander is a real snore fest. Any commander designed for bobbing is awfully designed but everything in the commander outside the infantry is pretty expensive too so you are basically playing okw stock lineup +. Terrible shame |
I like the 2 stg 2 mp40 idea and a price reduction with an option to buy 2 slightly buffed STGs back so they COULD be used as an assault squad (and allow volks stg hordes pass the torch into something more combined armsish) maybe a rec acc buff as well? Let them buy the STGs and make them as durable as Tommies at least |
If they bring more volks in t charge into a line .... then thats just waste of Manpower, OKW has units like Luch or Stuka Halftrack to break those lines, with Sturmpioneer as support and MG34 or LeiG sitting at the back to support.
That's the theory. In practice volks are about all you need. More volks isn't a waste because they are versatile as fuck. Not on the front? They can build sand bags, enemy garrison? No problem. Armour around? More snares! Enemy getting vetted? Super no choice weapon upgrade!
Volks are like riflemen lite that don't have to suffer choosing between AT or MG support. |
Volks are just basic units, you suppose to bring in other units like Sturm, Obersoldateen, Falshiem, Jaeger Light Infantry, Pzfussilier to support the assault.
Tell that to the current design. If you can't break the line with Volks you didn't bring enough volks |

Easy mistake. Generally rifles is used for the squad, the weapons are usually bolts or semis (or out right names) doesn't matter so much but you say rifles we think a 280mp 5 man squad. |
234 armor. Shows how much on actual stats are behind these statements.
Could have been pulling from memory and misremebered. 2 whole points off isn't a big deal, certainly not a reason to be a cunt about it |
