Yeah, it was unabalnced as fu***, but still fun since the games ended a lot quicker. Just get your unit setup and abuse it to the max vs an opponent who did the same.
For the fatherland mg , the one man army unit ...

A good casual mod if you see it that way

Well to be honest..i think it theeses things are extremely bugged right now.

The experience:
1.
Having a flare, point to shoot and then noticing that the mortar isn't moving at all because you slightly clicked the ability out of its range. (82.mm and 120mm). Then you have to manually walk up, point and click the flare and voila it actually can work....minutes later!!

2.
Same goes for smokes, which leads to point 2:
The mortar gets stuck with the result that you can't use it at all anymore. I had this a few times triggered by the smoke on the 82mm. It still shot, but i was unable to relocate it until it died.
A bit like the famous ZIS bug, without the invulnerability part.

3.
My mortar didn't barrage anymore or i wqas able to use the flares, even inside the range markers.
This happened to me once since ever, but was with the last patch.
At least i still could move it around unlike point 2...yay

Seems to me thats all connected to some strange kind of unit behaviour itself.

If its a feature, l2micro they say...
But to be honest this is all really frustrating a bit of an issue since flares a kinda useful.

One thing that make shocks shine above other squads is that they come out strong when called in.

They don't need any upgrades to be at their maximum dps and 2 gimmicks to be instantly effective. They are not a weak unit per se.

I rarely call them asap as th cps are available, more like a midgame/ late call in, esp. when i took a lot hits on my infantry / maxims and i don't have the time to new cons up.

They are a god unit to (surprisingly) fight back an axis push that bleed the opponent already.
You can just walk all over half dead wehrmacht units with ease.
OKW is another thing, since volks in late willl probably heal or are genrally more resistant. But here is an example where they really can shine.


And here is a huge weakness from shocks vs OKW. Good players won't let you come near and even if you do, the already vetted volks will have more hp than you have dps
(ofc. my subjective obsvervation).

When you have to get close, stgs drain your hp and incy nade even more. Before you can do any significant damage, you have like 3,4 shocks left with a 3rd hp bar.

And here you begin to bleed...

Buffing shocks? Make them more resistant against flames?
A little bit more hp would be recommended or remove double cooldwon? Can't remember if that was a cause to make them op.

I love them, but they are really hard to maximize their effectiveness.

On the top of this bug , i sometimes encountered that the ZIS not only stopps moving or lacks control from the player. It becomes totally invulnerable. I had this in the mid of rails where it constantly shot the OKW tanks.

I think its a very serious issues if someone ever figures out how to trigger it and rush parks a zis wall in the enemy territory...

Or is it random / unfix able? Maybe someone with better knowledge with the game engine mechanics could respond to this..

A mute option would be good, because sometimes run out of creative insults way too early.
Means i would be actually forced to play that ?§$!# of a game to the end.
