Profile of Lichtbringer

1. Because I play Ostheer and get matched against USF players of equal Skill who build any kind of light vehicle.

2. Because for once I don't want to use the Tiger./any other unusual strategy.

3. 10 second freezes that cost me my Sniper and vetted LMG Gren.

4. Vehicle Pathing.

There is only rear armor and front armor, no side armor. The side of a tank is split in half, consisting of both front and rear armor. So maybe you did hit the frontal sidearmor?

Besides that, you could have gotten just unlucky, and I think the Tiger has pretty good rear armor anyway in comparison to its front. Tanks like the Elephant in contrast, have almost no rear armor in comparison to their front.

After testing it a little bit, it seems like the Ostwind bulletin stacks.
With 2 the Ostwind surpressed after a full burst (sometimes at the beginning of second), with only 1 it took around 4 bursts

But it could have been a number of different reasons, was just a qick test against AI.

Lets just add shit pathing for infantry units^^
Like in SC one.
Starcraft 2 added better pathing, and its the reason they got deathballs.

Honestly, instead of such stupid Ideas, I would rather give troops a debuff when they are blobbed.


As I see it there are 3 ways to reduce blobbing:

1. Give them a direct debuff. We could call it whatever we want Not enough supply in the area, enemy shots will hit somebody, enemys get a moraleboost when being outnumbered, logistics or the chaincommmand get disturbed, whatever. But that would be pretty radical, and somewhat lazy.

2. Better options to deal with blobs/ greater risks with blobbing. This could be mortars who get cheaper flaming barrages, or generall bigger (and maybe weaker) aoe. Or better MGs. The biggest problem here, is to find the fine balance, where the units are specifically better against big blobs, not against everything.

3. More incentives to spread out. Mostly through mapdesign, or broader mechanic changes. For example maybe you get bonus ressources when you have a unit in a territory (enemy or friendly), but more than one in the same area gives no advantage. It could be a supply thing, lets say the upkeep gets reduced for 1 unit per sector?

1, would be the easyest solution, but not very refined.
2 would be relative easy, but will require some balancing.
3 is the most complicated, and would need the most balancing afterwards.

So I would just go for 2. Just buff some AOE units. Its relative easy, then the Meta will adjust, and you can balance it a bit.

This is literally no different to keeping a jackson at range to a kt, it is the exact same concept.

I wish my Grenadiers could shoot at someone chasing them, they really need a turret.
