The Battle of Kursk, the largest tank battle in history betwen the Germans and Russians was interesting. Prior to this, most tank warfare was done at max range possible but in the battle of Kursk, the superior armor of the Germans didn't mean much due to the short range combat. T34 tanks were able to penetrate Tiger Tanks.

Currently the T-34 has this for penetration :
Far : 80
Mid : 100
Near: 120

Proposal : When handling Infantry, certain units are better at different ranges (Such as Shock Troops, Panzer Grenadiers etc needing to be close) When dealing with Tanks this is not a consistant gameplay that you encounter throughout the game as most Tank Warfare is basicaly "poke, poke, retreat,repair". It would be interesting if Tanks such as the T-34 would be excellent close range while still being terrible at Mid and Far ranges. This would fit its "style" or theme as a flanking tank.

did you know that if you plant a t34/76 DIRECTLY behind a tiger, it still can bounce 1/3 shots?
nothing says flanker like the potential to bounce while you are parked in enemy territory shooting at the "weak" armour

Can't relic just code it in a way that One model leaves the building first, then 1 second after the rest of the squad follows? It's realistic and would solve the problem instantly.

there's also the problem with soviet tripwire flare mines, that instantly kill models. Intended? I think not.

have you seen what a fallschirmjager squad or a partisan squad does behind weapon teams?
ive (in a 4v on the one with the sh!tty forest on the left and the city on the right) i poped out a fall squad behind the enemy line and wiped 4 mortars and 2 maxims before they could retreat... mines prevent that
if you want to appear behind the enemy lines you take a risk, alternatively if you dont want an enemy popping up behind your lines you take actions to make sure that doesnt happen (mines)

high reward requires high risk
i dont recall the reinforcement cost but 1 model for multiple wipes would be tremendously IMBA

also suggesting something and using realism as a point in a thread asking for stepping on mines to only hurt a little....

Killing =/= Full Health Wipe

Oh, yeah with suggested changes the opposing squad still needs to fallback or lose a fight because they are suppressed or have suffered too much HP loss all around to be effective.

obviously you dont understand how important it is to kill the enemy's units

do you know what not having losses does to your mp?
take a guess

ok ill tell you, it doesnt bleed, it keeps it high
what does a high MP mean?
more units, more expensive units, faster armour, more caches, more bunkers

remember back when brits came out and they couldn't do ANYTHING because their reinforcement cost was too high? it was SLIIIIIGHTLY reduced and they performed much better..... now remove it entirely.... and it will have HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE impact on the economy of the game

both axis factions have access to healing on field (as in no MP bleed from these mines and even reduced time of field)
*walk over well placed mine*
*take no casualties*
*soft retreat to healing*
*repeat*

OR for volks and obers and falls and commandos and paratroopers and rangers... you dont even need to soft retreat.. instead of being a deterrent that requires thought and enemy response you have a speed bump that is less effective than wire for delaying the enemy

not only did you clean up a snare, you also cost the enemy 30mu and you lost.... 25 seconds of a unit being on the front

for the OKW this is a huuuuge nerf as well, because they dont have any other non doc snare, you can mine trample with medic tommies and hazzah just pretend it never happened because suddenly mines are not a threat at all

i dont think you understand how massive of an impact this would have on the game


i say again, mines are THE MOST PREVENTABLE METHOD OF SQUAD WIPES, buy a sweeper and stop trying to break the game

Nerfed mines won't change any factions overall competitiveness. It would just reduce the amount of Free Wins handed out by the RNG gods.

cons dont kill anything
if mines also dont kill anything that means mines AND cons wont be killing anything

im pretty sure we should be nerfing the satchel charge as well because i dont want to invest in the time it takes to make sure that my units dont get killed by them either

The major ability has a tiny range for a recon ability, and it forces you to turn off your FRP to use. It's one of several useless abilities the major possesses.

it doesnt have small range, its a pass not a loiter. Treat your target area like a heading and it will pass in that direction.
