During one of the last hotfixes the issue of valentine spam was addressed. I see this as a step in the right direction. Spamming call-ins is not a fun thing when being on the receiving end. I propose a somewhat elegant (or childishly simple) way to manage these units across the board. To make a cap. 1 vehicle, 2 infantry units, 3 artillery pieces max. on the field. To clarify - no more than the cap for a particular unit. If the doctrine has 2 different call-in inf units (OKW Breaktrough) you can build two squads of both. |

Guys, I know you want easy wins, but IS balance is not to blame. Yes, they can be stronger than your cheaper infantry for the first few minutes of the game. For that IS pays the price of having the worse moving accuracy of all mainline inf and being the only mainline without a snare.
If you'd ever decide to give brits a go - you will encounter a very pleasant phenomenon mid game, when a cheaper up-gunned squad of volks can just run up to your bolstered five man squad in heavy cover and win the engagement.
As per sapper snare balance - the at gun has been nerfed accordingly while most other factions got a buff one way or another, so nothing to cry about here either. |

Have seen many instances where Tactical Support Regiments ability Air Resupply Operation fails to drop AT gun. Last time observed on crossroads map but the bug is not exclusive to it. Would estimate this to happen 20-30% of the time (6-7 instances). Can provide a replay if needed. |

This thread has become a good illustration of how asking for actual balance doesn't get any traction. People are more interested in an axis power trip than a fair game. |
So USF/UKF get instant tank smoke stock, (UKF smoke is basically as close to instant as could be) while Ost only gets it doctrinally? This suggestion coming from a person who thought the old ostwind was perfectly fine? Should we be surprised?
Where is it written that commander abilities should be better versions of things? Are flamers that okw/ukf get better than stock for other factions?
And I stand by my assessment that shock ostwind is a terrible idea as its new dmg coupled with its speed will wipe squads on retreat like nothing. And you most likely could a-move a ost+p4 to enemy base and go afk that early in the game for a win.
And yes, this is coming from a guy who doesn't have an avatar with a terrible taste  |
Brit arty also can not shoot without these flares, like all other arty units, its more of an offmap then on map and it has more in common with USF Major arty then LeFH.
But its physically on the map, can be destroyed, cost fuel and is subject to the force fields you mentioned. And if im not wrong it counts as onmap artilery for the purpose of counter barrage. Artilery (as oposed to tanks and inf) is in no danger when attacking an enemy base and is somewhat a cheese move. I guess it's a matter of taste what you want to see in a game. I'm just arguing on having the same rules for everyone. |
If base is in range of ON MAP arty, it SHOULD be able to fire inside it.
There is no magical forcefield protecting base from infantry or tanks, there shouldn't be one for on map arty.
Afaik I can't drop arty flairs with brit sniper/IS on enemy base sector due to a magical force field. Technically their arty is on map (although w/o pop cost). |
On map tools should absolutely be able to fire into the base sector. Could mess around with a damage reduction when in your own base (would hopefully help with flame cars too) but disallowing a unit that costs fuel and is taking up population from firing into the base is an awful direction
I understand artillery being a tool to punish massing static defences and to help with a breakrough. Having it fire at an enemy base is a tool to punish someone for having units.. would combine explosive dmg to retreating squads into same category of annoying nonsence you can't avoid. |
put on the equation the bonus accuracy from cromwell and u get better AT while p4 gets better AI
comet is not dead, it's a respectable tank, it only has bad vet
both have around 70% chance to pen each other, but we are talking about AT capabilities not only p4 vs cromwell, and the cromwell has better pen mid and close range but a sightly higher reload
Not to hijack the thread for crom vs p4 discussion but since you agree that p4 has better AI, would you honestly choose the crom for a 1v1 vs a p4? My experience would say that the p4 wins more than not and this vid would suggest the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPVE2Yi-MCE .The extra pen means nothing as its a relative thing. Croms biggest and most likely opponent is p4 and the extra 5 pen doesn't really change anything when facing armored cars or tigers while a faster reload time in a tank duel can have a undeniable impact. All in all I agree I was wrong about the speed of the vehicles but it seems that you are bending the narrative about the tank balance a bit. |
hello i would like to order bullshit with some more bullshit and put some misinformation on it please
cromwell_mk4_75mm_mp Target size: 22 Sight: 35 Speed: 7 Accel: 2.6 Rotate: 32 Armor: 160/80 Health: 640
panzer_iv_sdkfz_161_mp Target size: 22 Sight: 35 Speed: 6.3 Accel: 2.1 Rotate: 32 Armor: 180/90 Health: 640
both have acces to speed boost one with vet the other with tech
pen of the cromwell is 120 at mid while p4 is 115
cromwell has less chance to one shoot squad but better damage in the outer radius of the shoot (8 vs 32), to put it better p4 relies on luck and perfect hit to deal damage cromwell can miss and still deal damage
btw here is a kubel speed so u understand how fast is the cromwell
kubelwagen_type_82_mp Target size: 14 Sight: 50 Speed: 7 Accel: 4.5 Rotate: 40 Armor: 3/1.9 Health: 240
Cool, thank you for correcting that. Although p4 can have an AI gunner that should be put into the equation somehow and the crom speed boost is locked behind a dead tech due to the comet being UP as per this thread.
I'm not familiar with the pen calculations in this game. How does 120 pen vs 180 armor compare to 115 pen vs 160 armor? |
