Would it not be an option to go for shock troops asap?
I know they are more expensive, but the cons have no staying power against assault grenadiers. And I don't find the advice of using Molotovs usefull at all. The point is that assault grenadiers is going to be a blop that's constantly on the move. So Molotovs won't really Work.
So far I mostly used Maxims, but with mixed results. It means you cannot pick your battle because a Maxim will easily be overrun if its location isn't the best.
Finally, what about penals with flames? I haven't tried it, and yes, penals suck in general. But the flame upgrade ought to help here? Or what?
Sorry for spamming questions here, but to me there are many things to be uncovered.
How exactly is ice and snow formed/reformed? Ice is rebuild over time AFAIK in as well a blizzard as without it.
But does ice not reform quicker during blizzard? And how much quicker?
Likewise, does snow not rebuild during blizzards? How fast? And where does it rebuild? Same positions as default? Or would any kind of player actions (destroyed Building for example) influence on where snow rebuilds?
While making flamers more resilient would be good for clearing buildings, I fear it would have have an udesirable effect on early to mid-game infantry-battles. Ie. flamer wars.
The solution should be, as I think the OP is saying, to reduce the defensive bonus of house. But for the love of God not by making Buildings easier to destroy.
Btw.: the above mentioned hit rates of sniper versus Buildings claim to be 40 or even 50%. Is that a fact? My impression was more like 10 or 20%.
You are obviously trying to be douche and stir things up .[snip]
If you had read on instead of just assaulting this one post, you'd see that I learned something in the meantime. From the game and from this thread (Ie this thread is NOT pointless).
