Medic heal on Grens

Jump back to quoted post12 May 2020, 17:47 PMSuperHansFan

Forward assembly actually has a bigger hitbox that vipper conveniently ignored

The thing costs an arm and a leg to upgrade and gets blasted down pretty fast.

This is also why the arty ability you listed is useless, the short range and fragile nature of the FA makes it unusable because even a rak shooting at it will be out of range.

Not saying FA is bad, it's better than med bunker in team games. but as Brits I would swap it with med bunker in 1vs1 in a heartbeat when every 100mp here or there counts. Especially with the 450ish mp you need for Tommies upgrades.

Which goes in with why vipper was wrong and my original reply, Med bunker has the edge in 1s and FA has the edge in team games. Apples and oranges

...bunker has 480 HP while FA has 700. It also has 10 armor...

A forward assembly with medic cost 200 hundred Manpower and 60 munition and can do what medic/command bunker can do for 300 manpower/120 munition.

Or how about you give them free med kits after upgrade to LMG like how 5-man grens get free med kits after the upgrade. That will work.

its not a concrete fucking bunker designed to hold the front by its lonesome. put it behind a shot blocker and use it as a forward staging area. the arty has decent enough range that if you placed it well enough it cant help when you get pushed.
for setting up in base you are right that the bunker is better simply due to cost, but you get a lot more outof the FA thast makes it worth it on the front as long as you use it. hell just not having to run to base if you wanna grab a bren is great.

The forward assembly isn't even that awkward, and now they have an option in their HQ. I don't see any reason brit medkits should stay exactly as they are

The HQ option has some bugs still unless i missed a hotfix, which should get fixed

I am not sure why you think I am obliged to list every detail of every unit, but if you have the actual numbers of hitboxes pls provide them I do not.

What you conveniently seem to leave out is that a bunker has 480 HP while FA has 700. It also has 10 armor instead of 35.
A forward assembly with medic cost 200 hundred Manpower and 60 munition and can do what medic/command bunker can do for 300 manpower/120 munition.

If in your opinion bunker is fine by me but the healing IS is way better than the one grenadier have.

Not every detail, I never claimed that. But relevant stats like survivability should be compared.

Armor is irrelevant because all common counters and threats to these structures like rocket arty will penetrate 100%. Hitbox size and health should rather be mentioned instead. Because these things make a difference when a stuka ze fuss barrage lands on them (a common theme in most games), armor does not.

In-combat healing is bad.

My suggestion is either make it instant (the cast time is eternally long) or allow the healing to take place even under combat. I want a core ability.
