Any thoughts about decreasing fall time of sight flares?
They reveal big area for too long and uncounterable.
Distort the need for true sight tactics.
IRHT got hit. So sight flares is next?
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

then the range of the strum tiger is 30 35 not 40 as u Need to aim behind
that is some awful aiming, you need to shoot behind the target, if you use ST all the time you would know.

Pfusiliers should lose a G43 as well.no penal alredy alredy better at long range while costing less overall resources

I've done some tests and here's my feedback.
Let's start with UKF:
-Smoke barrage addition to Pyrotechnics IS is definitely great but I think cost should be increased since it doesn't require IS throwing a flare and arrives fast. Something like 40 munitions is a good price for an ability that has so much range and doesn't work like flares/grenades but works as a call-in. If we consider the newly added Medic upgrade to the T0, everyone might start to go for Pyrotechnics IS and it might be too OP.
-While we're talking about T0 medics, I think something like Soviet HQ medics would work better than the current implementation. Everyone will just keep their medics on their base anyways, there's no point in making them mobile.
-Airlanding Officer is too OP. Back then when he was in an overpriced doctrinal ability that nobody uses, his abilities were okay but now that it's added without the glider and as a stock unit, no less, free Officer Charge and 30 munitions for the best Recon Sweep are too much on top a Gammon Bomb. Gammon Bomb should stay since it's an assault squad but Recon Sweep definitely needs a price increase and Officer Charge shouldn't be free.
-HQ Glider is just fine. It works as a Commando Glider now but with Medics and FRP for 100MP (Both of them nullified the instant Glider is destroyed). It's still a big target, its HP depends heavily on the location it lands on and it can be killed with small-arms fire. There's no need to buff/nerf it further.
Now, let's get to the worst part of the patch: Fragmentation vs Cluster bombs.
-Fragmentation Bombs now arrives way faster than it was before, it's practically impossible to completely dodge them on the edge of the map even if you start dodging the moment you see the red flares. I don't think that's fair at all. Fragmentation Bombs, unlike Cluster Bombs hit the enemy instantly the moment they're dropped from the plane and it's guareented to wipe anything with a flesh on the line. Buffing the speed of the plane to 275 is way too much. I think something like 225 should suffice.
-Cluster Bombs are now completely easy-to-dodge. I'm sad that Recon Support is nerfed twice and given nothing in return but at least Cluster Bombs are balanced for their price now, I guess.
Some bugs I want to report btw:
-For some reason, Paratrooper Support Squad has 28 reinforce cost in the Winter patch.False alarm. It was 28MP all along. Thanks to RepoRogue for correcting me.
-Falls can't capture points any longer. I can understand an elite squad such as Falls shouldn't have snares but taking away their ability to capture points? Isn't that too much? LolFalse alarm, I just tried spawning them through the ability rather than the control panel and there is no problem.
-Tiger, just like King Tiger, no longer appears on the commander abilities when the commander is selected and only appears when all HQs are deployed. Now, this isn't a big problem but I think people will be shocked (I did, lol) when they see this after patch is implemented. So, letting it appear on abilities but locking it with a "All HQs need to be deployed." notice ,just like you did with other factions, is the best option. Although, this isn't a priority.

I agree that T0 Medics should function like the Soviet HQ Medics. While we are at it, Whermacht could use a T0 Medic Upgrade as well (Yes Whermacht could make a Medic Bunker in Base but So could British if they made a Forward Assembly in base and upgraded it however this would be a small quality of life change) Though Personally I feel all factions should have T0 HQ Medics as it would provide an alternative to Forward HQs which are obviously far superior to the factions that have it available to them than standard retreating.

Yeah, I always wondered why they didn't give every faction (except OKW, obviously since that'd be a big balance change) just T0 HQ Medics and be done with it. Asymmetrical gameplay, I guess?

One idea I had when thinking about how to fix the Soviet Airborne Doctrine:
Make Airborne Guards an AT-specialist squad similar to tripple elite Bazooka rangers:
- Give them the same starting RA as normal Guards but replace the veterancy RA buff with a damage reduction similar to what Grens get so they become a very durable AT-infantry squad. Higher survivability than tripple Bazooka Rangers but less alpha strike damage.
- Give them 3 SVTs + 3 PTRS (with better anti-tank stats than the regular Penal PTRS, more penetration and better reload) + AT-Satchel
--> Now the Airborne Guards have synergy with the doctrine as a AT element to support the SVT Cons.
Then replace the IL2 AT Rocket strafe with either the IL2 AI loiter or the IL2 precision bombing run.
That would make the doctrine have good synergy without being overly cancerous and still viable for 1v1 and 2v2.

So you want to create another unit which is neither AI nor AT? Ptrs barely penetrates. I'm not sure how much penetration an anti tank rifle would beed to penetrate heavy armor.
This doctrine is already muni starved. People can already use AT satchels of penals bro. And whenever you need to throw a satchel you need to get into range and use munitions.
So no thanks. Better give lend lease bazookas than ptrs and satchel s**t.

As others have asked already: Could someone confirm that there are Ostheer changes in the making? If this question is further ignored I guess we have to assume the patch is an utter failure.

The privilege of having 18 range snare should be reserved for Grens because they are vulnerable to vehicles (4 Man squad).
A 6 man Panzerfüssilier squad with sprint and flares should not have more range on their snare than Grenadiers. It makes no sense.

Now that command panther is out of meta for good, spec ops flares, while I agree with you, still are pretty OP, aren't such a big issue anymore.
But yes, to encourage more use of new UHU we could nerfs pfussies flares a bit.

Can you read? I wrote boosted PTRS stats. Similiar to how elite Bazookas on Rangers are better than normal Bazookas on Rear Echelons.
And I said strictly AT-specialist infantry. It's even underlined. Seriously how bad can one's reading comprehension be to not even notice the things that are highlighted.
