OKW multiple Battlegroup HQs

Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2021, 14:55 PMUnit G17

Just a simple idea: allow okw to build more than one battlegroup hq. Each one would have to be upgraded separately for both reinforcements and medics (so it includes all the fuel costs too). On the other hand okw would gain the option for some more versatility at forward reinforcements (they are limited to one right now, except for the blitz truck in feuersturm).

Perhaps the other buildings could be enabled too, like for the repair engineers at mechanized hq, tho the fuel costs there are much higher and thus unlikely to be utilized.

Being able to move your deployed trucks somehow would be preferable. For most factions your forward buildings will hurt you if destroyed, certainly, but no other faction's forward buildings are /also/ their tech buildings, which means mistaken placement of one of them (Or simply placement of one of them merely outside of your base sector, against some offmaps) can easily cause you to outright lose the game.

OKW have the benefit of "Guaranteed" access to "forward" healing, repair bots, and a flak gun... but this comes at the cost of them being INSANELY punishing if lost (Especially the Schwerer). In the case of the battlegroup, you also either get base healing, OR you get forward healing, it's one or the other.

Absolutely not, forward reinforce cancer needs to be nerfed, not buffed. No, no, no, no, no. No discussion, just no.

Actually I suggested redeployment before, the problem is, even in all units mod, that playing the deployment animation backwards is not possible. I mean all units mod kinda achieves it, but it's quite choppy and doesn't really meet the acceptable bar for the vanila game unfortunately.

Mr. floating MG42 on 250 halftrack is questioning your so called "acceptable bar for the vanilla game".

It'll need a game-wide rework then, surely?

Yes, that is the plan. No way is giving it to OKW stock beneficial to the game, it's a step in the opposite direction of where coh2 should be headed.

If such a change were coming imminently, sure, but if we're going to be waiting for quite a long time before getting such changes, I'd argue it's better to provide OKW with similar options to other factions as a stopgap.

Yes and I guess even the new vickers k on the churchill or the upcoming mg on the stug e will have this issue, but the point is that these are only noticable if you zoom in on them.




Exactly, right now the trend is that all other factions got versatile forward reinforcement. In fact they even got buffs to them last patch (healing in M5 halftrack, command and medic bunker can be combined). Also, keep in mind that players would have to pay the full price for an another bg hq, taking fuel resources that could be spent on tanks (similarly to halftracks that also cost some fuel).
