I wonder what kind of genius at lelic though of giving maxim smallest firing arc in the first place considering it always had worst supression. Maybe it's relic from time when it could packup and setup quickly but thats irrelevant for long while. |

So far this is the most reasonable patch notes I've red since 2017 winter patch, especially nerfs to f%king flares and scoped elefant |
Now that command panther is out of meta for good, spec ops flares, while I agree with you, still are pretty OP, aren't such a big issue anymore.
But yes, to encourage more use of new UHU we could nerfs pfussies flares a bit.
Out of meta thanks to Grand Offensive doing everything (aside of flares) better than Spec Ops, give Spec OP's a Tiger and everyone would spam it again. That does not change flares being busted |
|
Rockets strafe was never OP, it's just cheesy on small maps and useless on large ones. You cant balance that ability it's either nukes enemy tank or you just wasted your own T-34 and 100 munitions on top of that.
It would be better from the start to give this commander PTAB or even just copy P-47 AT loiter reskinned with IL-2s |
I've said this a few times before, but I'll throw it out again: Soviet Mobilized Reserves only needs to lose the 7th man while keeping everything else to be balanced.
This has several positive effects:
1) No more one-shot volley. 7*12=84 damage. IIRC one-shot volleys were being removed from the game wherever possible. Why should Soviets be special snowflakes?
2) 14.3% less damage and 14.3% less survivability. This tones down the raw power significantly without sacrificing any of the amazing utility benefits conscripts need.
3) The removal of the sergeant model. This model is not only historically innacurate (shoulder boards are far, FAR past 1945), but also has no winter model, and is really deform-happy with team weapons.
4) Bolster on top of a 6-man squad plays even more into the stupid "sOvIeTs hAVe iNfiNte mEn" stereotype. Stereotypes should be avoided whenever possible to be fair to all parties.
If this strikes you as an over-nerf, feel free to tone the actual buff modifiers to hit the sweet spot if necessary. I, for one, would welcome the lowering of the benefits (alongside removal of the 7th man) in exchange for global upgrade + freed up weapon slot as an example.
It boils down to "they will be too similar to Penals", basically cons are supposed to suck by design and with these changes it will probably turn into Penals 24/7 again. |

They are fine as unit but come too late and in muni heavy doctrine, meaning you have to forget about svt cons and dshks if you want to field them... which is why nobody gets them first place.
They more of a doctrine issue, if Para-Guards were in tank hunters doc for example they'd be seen a lot more often |

>How to make airborne guards better
By giving them more utility.
Stealth, ability call in recon plane (like Airlanding officer), satchel/at satchel, demo and stuff like that. |
I am talking about 2v2 mainly, so keep that in mind.
The Jagdtiger at this point is just an Elefant without 222 and spotting scope support. The unit isn't used in any somewhat high-level 2v2 games and when I used the JT it never worked well enough to make up for it's insane cost. IMO it's pretty damn bad. Why would I get a JT over two non-doctrinal JP4s? They will deal way more damage against anything but IS2s or maybe ISU and at the same time have camo, better mobility and a smaller target size. Considering there is a new balance patch coming can this unit please get some help? Make the AI barrage more effective? Give it back 80 range? Give back armour? It desperately needs something.
You just answered your own question. Use JT against allied heavies and JPZIV against anything else. JT most certanly does not need anything else considering how cancerous heavy TD's are in team games |
You say that, because you don't use ambush camo.
Which is countered by sending infantry ahead, recon planes, flares and common sense |
Grenade assault.
Works great against AFK players and AI only |
