Airdropped Combat Group Cost Problem

Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2014, 18:05 PMdizilluzion

The AT gun is coming in a box. Is it confirmed somewhere that it being unmanned is a bug? Also like Hon3ynuts said the paratroopers that are being dropped do come with only 3 thompsons or 1 LMG but do come with 2 bazookas if that is the random weapon. Sure its nice to get some upgrades included but they would be much more appealing if they came with the full amount. At least give the option to upgrade to the full amount. Mainly the 2nd LMG is what you want.

Currently the recon support commander Airdropped Combat Group comes at cp7, costs 900mp, and provides 2 paratroop units with random weapon upgrades + 1 unmanned at gun. This is a great deal but the cost in absolute terms is too high. It's very hard to use this callin because saving 900mp is hard and then spending it all on infantry doesn't make sense late in the game.

I think relic should consider reducing the cost to something like 550 and in turn take out one of the two paratroop squads. At 550mp its affordable enough and does not cause problems with floating mp.

Luftwaffe Ground Forces drops a single Fallschirmjaeger Squad for 250 munitions.... with some low-damage fighter straffes that suppress but that's besides the point.

It's actually quite high. The ability is a steal for 250 ammo.

The strafing run is in fact the exact same one as the opel strafe from Ostheer, except:

It does double damage per bullet (5 instead of 2.5) and has 100 penetration (instead of 2). Gets two planes instead of 1. And does all its attack runs in a few seconds instead of over 45 seconds.

And some people actually make the laughable claim that it is somehow weak. It's basically a squadwipe on anything inside the firing area, including all low health vehicles (it always wipes a full health ambulance or katyusha for instance)

Then Cruzz, you've had some amazing luck that I have not had. Because those planes only really manage to suppress and maybe kill one or two models for me.
