'Vehicle Crew Disembark'
Posts: 55
It is very very frustrating to see the crew hop out and back in a vehicle in 2-3 seconds. It especially reduces the danger of repairing at the frontline, since they can re-enter the vehicle instantaneously.
There are quite some unfair mechanics to it aswell. As an example from a game of mine, a Sherman drove over a Riegel-mine. Immobilized. The crew hopped out, repaired the heaviest critical for 10 munitions in a second and drove away.
I think It does need to be looked at.

Maybe critical repair should cost -40 munitions but crew repair is fine..+1

I had a game yesterday (didn't save the replay) where a Sherman was moving on to my grens, I fisted and retreated. With my second gren squad that was en route to the frontline I wanted to catch the Sherman - because I felt that he would not have moved far until he hopped out. My assumption was correct, I saw the crew, hoping to kill two entities to punish him for disembarking in the middle of the battlefield, but he simple hopped in, sherman shot instantly, wiping the whole vet2 squad. Right.

When you lay a mine you have it close enough to your forces that you can respond to either destroy the tank or kill the crew.
How do you think its not dangerous for them to repair on the frontlines as well? you either not putting enough pressure on the tank or not making it dangerous enough for your opponent to disembark? otherwise the tanks not on frontline if they can disembark and repair.

Critical repair is the problem here, it's badly designed. Imo it should be redesigned so that on activation the crew start repairs for X seconds. During the duration no health is restored, instead X health restored and critical removal are applied instantly upon completion of the ability.
I do believe that army with most squishy armor in game and no heavy armor should have an advantage over heavy armor based armies.
That advantage is higher mobility.
I suppose this thread is the direct reason of someone not being able to WTFPWN sherman with engine damage.

I'd rather say that it's about getting some use out of your doctrinal 50 munitions AT mine, instead of it being negated entirely.
(And btw Katitof, I'm not a German fanboy, since you are always oh so quick to judge)

Critical repair is stupid, it makes engine damage against USF meaningless in any situation where you don't have enough firepower to instantly gun down the crew if they try to get out. Should take a lot longer to remove crits with it, instead of the current 1 seconds it should be more like 10 seconds.

Crew repair is fine. It's a perk for having the most paper armor in the game.

I think 10 seconds is again too much, you could just as well just repair it fully then ( depending on the amount of damage the vehicle has suffered ).
More like an increase of the price, so you only use it when you have no other choice than saving that one tank!

Crew repair is basically fine, just add a cooldown of 2-3 seconds.That shouldn't be possible. They need three entities to man a sherman.

He didn't actually kill any of the sherman's crew. He said he was 'hoping to kill two entities' but they jumped in and instantly squad wiped the gren before he could do damage.
I've had similar experiences. It is very frustrating that they can jump in and instantly target/fire/move. There should be a short delay where the vehicle can't do anything while the crew gets set.

A short cooldown between leaving and reentering a vehicle, or even better a brief delay between manning and regaining control would suffice and rid a lot of players of feeling cheated.
Also, world objects like decrewed weapons and vehicles should be targetable, not just by attack ground.

but they are, use attack move (the first icon in the form of the sniper synbol) adn select the object

My main problem with crewhopping is the loss of targeting. It's just too often abused. Players hop out of their vehicle, lose all targeting, recrew and by the time you can realize and issue a new attack order they are long gone.

im almost certain targeting at least initially is kept such a grenadier squad using its faust will still faust the vehicle even if the crew bails

Yes, maybe. But vehicles, paks and shreks don't. As soon as the enemy tank is decrewed, they target another unit and in worst case fire. So by the time the US player embarks his vehicle again you have lost a whole reload cycle as well as the time for targeting twice.

But not commander specific, free of charge, without cooldown and CP-requirements. But with the added bonus of letting your enemy feel cheated.

USF Critical Repair is too good, OKW Emergency repair is shit. There should be a middle ground that both abilities occupy.
