m1919 rifles are overperforming

Not really you having to be watching every squad on the field at one time all the time and no one can do that and thanks to pathing and dumb shit riflemen will not always move fast enough to get out of the way when your in cover like there running into each other and rifle nades still wipe in green cover.

No they don't. Green cover reduces incoming damage so unless you rifle squad is already almost dead it will take 40% reduced damage and not be wiped.

Also if you miss the most obvious grenade tell in the game along with it's travel time then welp I don't really know what to say. The abusive thing about defensive stance is that it has no draw backs because you can reposition almost instantly.

It's travel time is like half a second. You have to be watching the guy crouch from the very start to effectively avoid it and in the heat of battle you cannot always be doing this not to mention sometimes when the models are just firing like normal there will be a guy crouched and firing. As well as world objects and other things effecting your ability to see the model. And you cannot always have a healthy squad I mean it takes time to get an ambulance and you don't just retreat because you lost 1 model. If I wanted to I could make you a compilation video of how many times I have had riflemen wiped in green cover. In open terrain its much easier avoided but in cover world objects make riflemen bumble around and they just cannot move fast enough most of the time.

Just change defensive stance so it can't be popped in combat. Is retarded. Should be an ability that is only used in anticipation for an assault. Not Run up drop down and suppress and shred.

Fix blitzkreig so it can't be used defensively and I would agree.

You already know that the current blitzkrieg can't be fixed in that way due to gameplay mechanics the ability needs to be overhauled or replaced. Enough with your troll behavior. X is OP, but it shouldn't be fixed because unrelated X ability for other faction is broken and doesn't work right. No, just stop.

cover is directional. If the grenade land behind the sandbag and in the middle of your squad it's going to hurt.

I'm sorry but I think USF needs this right now unless they change something else with them. It is the only good thing they have infantry wise. To me defensive stand makes a lot more sense than blitzkreig. Like a soldier wouldn't drop down to a prone position in the middle of combat and put out suppressing fire with his lmg? VS hitting the rocket boosters retro fitted into your panther backwards to reverse faster than the speed of light (sarcasm).

I know that you know that I know about the way the game engine is designed, but I guess I can hope then relic will ignore this thread as it has ignored every other one about blitzkrieg and do nothing about it.

People people, why all the confusion... the best offense is a strong defense.

On the contrary.

Give the activation the same triggers as soviet crew repair have.

Done, you can't use blitzkrieg as defensive warp jets, but you can use it preemptively when you are about to engage.

Mechanic is there, all they have to do is copy paste it.

Why not give a more interesting vet ability other than "go faster"? Because Relic has said they are going to overhaul all vet ability's for units.
