Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback

Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2021, 08:39 AMEsxile

I wouldn't call the M1919 an offensive upgrade for riflemen already because that RM/M1919 has been nerfed some time ago and is more a defensive upgrade than anything else.

Giving the M3 to riflemen commander is a bit of an overlap with mechanized and I don't see much people using it on 2vs2 because it requires quite some micro to keep it in the right place to support correctly your moving infantry. To me the M3 is a new waste of slot for this commander.

+1 for changing m3 to any other unit like rangers or m1919.

There is literally no point of having m3. Or at least it m5 could have been better.

yeah, when i glanced over the patch notes i thought the m5 was added, which would have been a great addition to the commander, especially for double officer builds. the m3 always feels a bit underwhelming to me, though i guess others might find a tougher reinforcement/healing platform than the ambu useful at times. still feels like a wasted ability slot for me... although with echelon flamers in the same doctrine USF now finally gets a flamer clown car of their own.

You have no proof to back your claim up with that the Pershing was always meant to be in the game since I clearly remember them saying that the USF would not have a heavy tank, hence why it (and the Calliope) was introduced along with the British and not before that so the only assumption we can make is that they changed their mind last minute.

While it's true I don't have any proof, just a suspicion I think that they got the audio for the Pershing long before the launch of the Pershing to be telling. I suspect that they always planned to release it, it's not like demands from the Ayer base would force them to make something they didn't plan to already.

Regardless. My point stands that even the USF heavy tank is quite squishy by the terms of other factions. It's essentially a comet in regards to durability yet hard capped-because USF isn't supposed to have a number of extemly durable armour.

Sorry for the double post but I think I've just had a stroke of brilliance.

How about turn the M3/M5 Halftrack for Rifle Company into a weapon carrier similar to the British Special Weapons one?

It can drop bazookas and M1919A6s and solves 2 issues, the USF lacking any way to get weapons on the front and people get their M1919A6s in Rifle Company without adding the weapon rack unlock or replacing another ability.

Plus it'd be something new and unique so everybody is happy.

Fine to me, but soon pp will realize that m1919 on the hand of tommy or conscript will be nightmare so it should work like the new British m3 and only give weapon to the player who owned the ht.

Or implement the current Brit version: It does not drop on the ground but directly upgrades the unit with it. (Vickers/Piat + reinforce halftruck the brits have in that commander whose name I cannot recall)

This would be a really neat change. Would further make the M3 worth using since you could empower riflemen without needing to go to base.

Alternatively for Rifle Company, since the slot has fired up and RE flamethrower, instead of puttin in the lmg upgrade, which doesn't fit "advanced infantry equipment", it could have as "assault package", adding one man and 3 thompson smgs for riflemen. Supposed to be the equivalent of conscripts ppsh.

Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2021, 18:59 PMleithianz

thompson is one of the best smg in the game. Adding one man + 3 thompson to RM will just smash all axis.


Witch is...fine for me I guess...?

They should have a nerfed version, similar to mp40 with Stormtroopers and Assault Grenadiers, with the latter having slightly over half the dps.
