As amusing as this threads can be, please redirect this kind of well elaborated ideas towards the shoutbox.

I've also heard https://steamcommunity.com/app/231430/discussions/ would appreciate this kind of topics.

AA mechanics or how bugged the vision of planes is hardly relevant. They need an overhaul but that is another story.

The bottom line is that Major recon pass has a very high probability to reveal any target it is required without any counter especially at vet 1 at low cost without taking up a commander slot. That makes all USF off maps more powerful.

It is relevant, because you asked how difficult is to counter planes which provide vision to use offmaps. AA is not meant (in it's current state) to counter the effects of a plane on arrival but rather deny loitering effects.
One part of your issue is with a mechanic present in the game.

The other part comes from it been non doctrinal ability USF has to access recon planes. Which while not as readily easy to use as commander ability, it still becomes handy to have.
This is basically ingrained in faction design (faction X has tools that faction Y has doctrinally but lacks features that faction Y has no doc) and commander design.

You consider this an issue, other users including me don't think that's the case.

Vipper, this idea is really bad.

+1

Outside of moving supervise to major and making Cpt support abilities more useful.

Tell you what, test in cheat mode how many AA units you need to stop a vet 1 major from providing vision to a certain area and come back with the result...

TBH, that says more about the AA mechanics in the game and how bugged vision on planes have been through the years.

There's been discussions about TDs and in the current patch, heavies might be arriving too fast or are at least are more predominant than before. Since i think both topics are related (touch one, you have to touch the other) one point that has been mentioned is that current CP values are just good enough for them to be relevant on teamgames, as resource gain is higher than CP gain.

Which made me think of alternative ways of giving CP gain, which would be less effective for 1v1 but more predominant on teamgames so you can delay most heavy tanks.

First of all, start by saying that caches could be cheaper, provide boost only for the player building it and allow multiple players to build or "attach" in the same point.

1- Push back CP values on heavy call in tanks.

2- Caches provides a hefty CP gain in a similar way teching does atm (~ 1/2 CP)

OKW: this had been in my mind since the first rework and the removable of resource conversion from mech HQ. Give each truck setup, a similar cost value upgrade which lets it work as a cache on the place it is deploy, with the same limitations as current caches (you couldn't "double stack a point"). It wouldn't block capture of point and resource gain would stop if the point is neutralised.


Problem: i know this could potentially decrease the timings for other units, but i consider mostly for 1v1, a 250mp investment pretty risky just for the sake of rushing CPs.

Alternative, i also thought certain tech upgrade and buildings could provide CP gain, but it would be extremely more complex to implement as they have different amount of them. After analysing work/complexity vs value i found it not worthy.
