Ah yes... "The maxim was too strong so we have done everything we could short of removing it from the game (that was out of scope) so now that soviet players STILL want a supression platform we are going to nerf the DSHK to old maxim levels (of course players will still rely on the same doctrines so they have some attempt at supression) and we will accomplish nothing.
All the DSHK needs is to bleed, treat its reinforcement cost like it was a 4 man crew so losses hurt more than (LITERALLY) replacing the worst infantry in the game. If losing crew hurt you automaticly limit it by causing meaningful bleed. I mean seriously. You can replace CONSCRIPTS who will accomplish.... Nothing at all... Ever or for the same replacment cost you can get a DSHK who will stop infantry, hurt infantry, hold the line, and is a threat to light armour. Hmmmm i think ill go with the conscripts (said no body ever. Because cons are worthless) |
X1.5 is still x1.5 no matter what the thing is. 1.5x the low ptrs damage would still be a sizeable change bringing its shots close to zooks, or better still, those "unkillable" penals funny enough are 1.5 the squad size of grens!
Or a 50% increase to the 120mm damage would bump it up to where it used to be.
1.5x is still half again higher than it was, still slow? Sure but less disadvantaged than it is designed to be |
I really dont get the "any nerf to the stuka nuka requires the same nerfs to its equivalents" there are no equivalents. The stuka nuke deals a GUARANTEED death crit in a radius of 15, around EXACTLY where you want it WHEREVER you want it in the EXACT same time ANYWHERE, ANY MAP. it is the definition of consitant, you know that when you hit that button in a 8 (if i recall) seconds there will be no infantry at all beit obliterating them or causing them to flee. EVERY TIME. sure there are devistating allied strikes, but they have variables and are kind enough to present visual cues as well. The il-2 percision strike is often brought up, but on top of costing more, it has flares, a long fly in, a map cue (the plane flying in) AND scatter on the bombs (none of which will wipe within a 15m radius) it has lots of damage potential, no denying that, but the only things that would actually get hit by it are howitzers and MAYBE an unupgraded JT with a damaged engine, and even THAT might crawl away if it sees the flares. Weapon teams can certainly pack up and move away in time (and not get wiped on retreat because they were unfortunate enough to have only noved 14m from the blast)
Give the sdb a proper AOE with damage fall off and a buff vs emplacments and it would be fine, wouldnt even need flares if its not going to wipe EVERYTHING with legs that doesnt make it all the way out.
Tldr there is nothing of the calibre of the current SDB because its just so consistent |
Losing a panther to a croc is just trash RNG, straight up. Dealing 80 damage per shot (iirc) makes the panther have effectivly 2x the health and more armour/pen. |
Is it possible to just have the FHQ have a standard health? So no matter where you throw it it burns down just as fast no matter where it is. Buff and a nerf but normalized might be all it needs |
Might be neat to nake the flamethrower an ability instead of a passive, something a bit like the centaur vet ability? Then you can escape it but its still a beast against buildings and poor awarness. The maingun would need buffed to standard church tho (not like that is terribly strong anyways..)
Kv8 should imo just get its vet 1 replaced to allow the 45 to shoot tandem with the flamer. |
Sign me up. FRP have imo really negatively impacted the game. I DO play almost exclusively team games but even then if you end up with more EFA than the enemy you are already disadvantaged |
Ah.. I love how everything always devolves into playercard dick flicking around here... Jesus... |
I think mortars should just deal less damage on autofire (say 60?) And get a damage buff for barrage to promote using it more and less set and forget style mortar play.
At that point the leig and pak howi could stay as is to justify their high costs |
All soviet squads should be getting supressed quicker because of the change to supression a little back |
