My last personal wishlist for teamgame adjustments

Jump back to quoted post11 May 2020, 08:20 AMSander93

Given how chasing retreating squads is generally better than staying stationary (chasing gives more DPS in total), I doubt Tactical Assault/Advance (which is basically equal to staying stationary) on retreat is that much better than just chasing without it.

Ram + off map needs to go. Considering off maps are largely fine on their own the balance team really needs to look into ram. Losing heavy tanks to two clicks of a button is retarded and there is nothing that can be done about it. And no you can't reliably keep your tanks from being rammed even though rank 1000 Allied mains think so.

Yes.

Either the range needs to be decreased on ram, or there needs to be a a 'wind-up' time, or the stun needs to last less time, or it needs to be interruptible (taking damage cancels the ram, for example). Right now, even with absolutely perfect reaction time, there is a good chance that once the opponent clicks "ram", there is nothing the axis player can do, which means that the targeted vehicle is effectively destroyed.

Really: example

The Ele starts reversing before the T34 starts its ram. You can't faust the T34 because its at full HP, and once it does take damage (which allows the faust to snare), the T34 has already started the "ram" (which can't be snared). Once it does hit, the Ele starts moving instantly and still can't escape the off-map.

Basically, in that clip, for any chance of counter-play, the OST player needs to hit the T34 with AT and then also fire off a faust, all BEFORE the Ram starts. That window There's no opportunity for counter-play.


Faust doesn't even stop ram. Engine damaged vehicles can also start ram. I sent my p4 to hunt a t34 that had run over a mine. T34 rammed me + rocket strike and p4 died instead.



Yes, but every other rocket-arty is destroyed by a direct hit from on-map arty - the LM is not.



If you know what the size of the 'scope' is, let us know. Its hard to make suggestions when there's no solid understanding of what can and can't be done.

Engine damaged vehicles can also start ram.

That shouldn't be possible. Engine damage or track damage disables the ramming ability.

Then it's bugged because I definitely had a snared T34 start and successfully finish a ram against my KT like 1-2 weeks ago.

Related question, what are the types of scenarios where stopping is better than chasing?

OKW:
Stuka zu Fuß:

Unit should have 2 volley options:
- classic line volley
- random scatter volley

That shouldn't be possible. Engine damage or track damage disables activating the ramming ability.

Jump back to quoted post12 May 2020, 10:31 AMSander93

Yeah a T-34 that gets snared while already having activated the ram will still successfully complete the ram. Though I think getting snared does slow it down giving the targeted tank a better chance to reverse away in time. But anyway if there's already engine damage then the ability can't be activated. I've edited my previous response to make it clear that I meant it disables activation specifically, rather than cancelling it.

Bodyblocking

Jump back to quoted post12 May 2020, 12:09 PMFelixTHM

It certainly doesn't. I've experienced 3 instances of this in the past 6 months. 2 against me and 1 of me doing it.


Pretty sure anyone who uses T34-76s or plays against Soviets in general would have encountered this at least once or twice by now.

I'm sure I'd have experienced it a lot more if I weren't an unrepentant IS2 staller.

Jump back to quoted post12 May 2020, 12:11 PMSander93

And if you're bodyblocking with a second squad then the set up that that takes makes it fair game imo.

Jump back to quoted post12 May 2020, 12:13 PMVipper

It probable that if one issues the command then it will be executed even if it snared before actually starting the run.
