Game features like the 2 man sniper team?

Or turning PACK howi into regular, super slow, non retreating mortar which still has massive cost and requires 3 men to crew.

The mechanics of giving weapon across factions with the m5 will be problematic. Relic already reduced the weapon slots of conscripts because of it.

1) You were saying exactly the same Thing about USF vehicle crews and armor Transfers, yet no one ever does that and if someone does, its not a problem at all.
2) Cons got their own buffs tailored for their own playstyle, especially durability vet which does not go well with Long range weaponry.

It would be really helpful for the game if similar solution where applied to similar issues, the number of unique features is quite big and its seem to be growing patch after patch.

But your idea of that is dumbing down, mirroring and erasing unique Features of the Units all together. USF M3 medkits and muni HT being prime examples of you trying to oush that agenda.
It does not help the game, it makes it even more plain and bland.

The solution of bonuses and penalties addresses most problem with drop-able weapons universally in single solution that is easy to understand.

Weren't you against having 100 different types of the same weapon when multiple PTRS variants were introduced and discussed?
This essentially is the exact same thing, just changed on squad level instead of weapon level.

The solution of the bren is not bad (although if it is not touched it will be op in commandos hands) but Vickers K is still a problem specifically since Ro.E. can get 2-3 LMG.

There is literally ONE player who puts brens on commandos and he does not even play meta.
Do not use extremely rare situational quirks as foundation for something prevelant.

LMG REs are also a thing of the past.

Imo turning bren into "assault rifle" profile would be a better from design point of view.

Tommies are supposed to be weaker at close range, that would lead to Situation equally bad as 2 M1919 for rifles in the past, just with reverse profile.

I don't see why making a weapon take up two slots inherently makes it trash. If you made a super PTRS that took up two slots and killed Tigers in one shot it wouldn't be trash. It'd be utterly broken.

Not being able to pick 2nd weapon when you already have one is massive disadvantage.
If Brens were to be 2 Slot weapon, all other LMGs would need to be to with exception to DPs which are vastly inferior.

you do know that the m10 have had 560 hp and 50 range since USF release? this mean the m10 were semi-brawlers to begin with.

you're complaining about the m10 being too weak at the same time urging for the jackson to become more like the m10.

Originally, Jacksons were fragile sniper and Wolverines spammable brawlers.
I believe personally that USF TDs had better Dynamics in CoH1, where they all were brawlers instead of long range snipers and Dynamics between M10 and Hellcat were much better then M10 and M36.

Existence of M36 and tech requierment of M10 ensure that M10 will never be taken into account.

Or Relic could have created the factions with their essential tools in the first place. You really want to go back to an OKW with no anti garrison tools, no stock mg (kubel lol), no stock medium tank, and schreck blobs to compensate?

There is a difference between having tools or not and having all the exact same tools(latest mortar changes, WTF PACK howi??).

All factions should have different tool kits, but at the end should be able to achieve same goals with their own unique tools, the moment that goes away, whole asymmetry between factions dies.

It does feels like in next patch all med tanks will have same stats and in following, all weapon teams and infantry will be exact copies of each other, following examples of snipers, mortars, ATGs and making TDs copies of each other with different active abilities.

There should be a vote option for there should be even bigger sweeping changes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The problem is relic likes to limit scope to much, which keeps bad faction design in place that can't be worked around.

Well, the problem with that is massive generalization of everything and stuff being only copies of each other with different skins.

All stock mortars+120mm+MHTs are dictionary examples of what I'm talking.

With modders balance philosophy, I am 90% that if they had no scope limit, all factions would end up completely bland, tasteless, different shade of the same grey mass as every single patch so far, while improving some things, always killed factions identity a bit and if you're going to have 5 almost identical factions, why have 5 at all?

Prime example? OKW vs Ost.
