Are Guards Ok Now?

And here i thought i was the only person who left my Guards' PTRS lying on the ground, as well as ignoring PTRS on the ground as Axis. Its too much of a hinderance, which is stupid. A bazooka or a panzerschreck has more AI ability than a PTRS. Now how does that make sense?

Agreed with Arclyte.

Alternatively, buff the PTRS to high heaven (then you'd have to give just 1 to Cons in Tank Hunters or something).

Alternatively, give the option to buy 2 PTRS or 2 DPs separately, like Stormtroopers.

Alternatively, make them dispense free beer to the player at Vet2. That's what would get me to use them every once in a while.

i liked the idea of letting the vehicle shoot while being buttoned but buttoning is so crap now. Like the vehicle looks like it still has more than 50% of its speed.

Yeah, not only smoke is a counter to button. Blitz can also free your tank easily.

Guard Riflemen DP-28 ‘Button’

The intent of these changes is to provide the opposing player an opportunity to react and counter the usage of button. Currently, the ability is very one sided, it provides the Soviet player with a quick and easy to execute vehicle snare without much counterplay in-between. By providing the opposing player with a way to react, the counter-play relative to unit positioning is better defined, thus reducing the receiving player’s frustration when the ability is executed.
Speed reduction from 0.1 to 0.33
Added rotation reduction of 0.33
Acceleration from 0.1 to 0.5
Deceleration from 8 to 2
Main gun set to active
Main gun rate of fire set to fire 1.56x slower

'Nuff said.
