But no other army in the game has vet 5 and the ability to put base buildings on the map.
Oh tech buildings on map. Just say hello to RAF and his planes. Murica and Brits still can set up forward retreat positions which is pretty the same as okw base building.
Imagine how volks would be shitty if they wouldn't have 5 vet. Smeels like you are allies fanboy, aren't you?
Reduce wipes from explosions, remove demo charges or just give them timer like paratroopers demo have, LeIG and Pak howi should only fire as normal artillery (barrage like static howitzer), Cenatur, Croco, T-34/76, KV-8... Etc
No deep snow, mud, or anything that slows infantry down. No health drain / random deaths promoting campy play, huddling around campfires, and spamming the precious shields UI with annoying blinking blue icons No to framerate drops due to a cosmetic effect. Yes to additional tactical options that arise from reduced line of sight and inability to use airplanes.
The problem is, people associate cold tech with all 4 of the above, whereas if we only had the increased tactical options without all the bullpudding, it would enrich the game (on certain winter maps) immensely.
