Stricter enforcement is always something I wanted here, the tolerance for blatant fanboyism and trolling is too high and leads to pointless discussion and derailning.
Half the stuff that's considered normal here is an instant ban on the paradox forums :/
But I don't think it will happen, so instead I request a simply agree/disagree system for posts.
It will let the trolls know how the community thinks of them and thus act as a deterrent (hopefully).
I seem to remember Thoedosious beating Luvnest's OST when he was using two snipers vs USF on this map.
Sniper can work on this map indeed, but i think its more the case that La Gleize (a map i always veto) and Kholodny are very bad for snipers, rather than this one very good.
I left an unqualified lazy statement as the opening post coz it was late and i was tired. But, to expand: my worry is that by making cons more effective in combat, you make countering the sniper much, much harder. At the moment you can dodge Penal satchels with a P2 or 222 to chase down a sniper. With Cons, being both combat effective and having Oorah AND AT nades makes countering snipers only possible if your opponent makes a grave mistake.
Making the old saying true: To kill a sniper, you need a sniper.
What the hell do you MG34 lovers even want? An MG42 copy- pasta? An incredibly powerfull suppression tool, or an amazing damage- dealer from afar? Does it even need to come earlier, considering OKW already has a powerfull early- game?
I could understand this asinine statement if we were discusing a buff to the mg42, but we are against a nerf to a shitty unit.
