Merging with Penals is the best.

How were you planning on using OKW bulletins as Ostheer (or vice versa)? There are crossfaction bulletin effects but these only apply for abandoned vehicles and team weapons because of this little issue

Also yea Relic time to fix some stupid stuff and also the usf overpopulation possibility crap. :/

Good question and one for which the answer actually changed in the last patch! I probably should've mentioned this in my ninja notes, I touched on one small aspect of the implications of it (puma ostruppen nerfed), but I forgot to mention the more general cases where it has a huge impact.

Anyway, because relic moved the squad base received accuracy to the model/entity SIZE instead of a squad modifier, this now means that merged conscripts are in fact easier to hit than the proper models of a squad for any kind of infantry squads. They are harder to hit than the regular members of an HMG/mortar squad, but...

The other implication of this change is that now only the initial squad of HMGs and Mortars sucks ass. As soon as they get decrewed and recrewed with something else, they lose their received accuracy bonus permanently. For instance HMG42, initial received accuracy/size is 1.25. Lose the initial crew and recrew with grenadiers and you now have an HMG42 with 0.91 received accuracy. Or with PGs for 0.8 received accuracy.

I know that if you merge a cons squad with a shock troops squad, cons models added to the shock squad won´t have armor as shock models....so in my opinión it is not worth....

But I think merge is great to reinforce mortars and machine guns in the battlefield....


What about Guards??? Do you think is a good idea merge cons with Guards squad so the guard squad don´t need to retreat to reinforce??? or is not a good idea and why???

Its actually not worth it anymore.
They cost just 2 more menpower per entity and don't have positive rec acc.

Merging with guards suffers most.

for cruzz

does this work for okw weopans teams too? for example if you recrew with jaeger light inf (they have 0.8 recieved acc) or better yet, obersoldaten which have 0.7 recieved accuracy.

now if i recrew a maxin with obersoldaten, does it give me 5 men obersoldaten with thier high dps rifles as the mg gunners? they would ofc cost 50mp per man

Yes. It'll work on all team weapons for all factions. Except for the 5-man part, you'll get 4-man weapon crews as OKW. And yes they'll be using the default rifles of their squads rather than shitty team weapon crew member guns.

For maximum abuse, equip 3x Jaeger Infantry vision bulletins as OKW and recrew stuff with them. Sniper vision on your team weapon squads, because that's balance.

If I recrew a pak gun with Jaeger Infantry and take casualties, will the reinforcements be Jaeger or normal crewmen? And which MP cost will be used to reinforce?

Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 21:58 PMdaspoulos

Any team weapon recrewed by a squad will reinforce for the amount the squad used to recrew it will reinforce for

Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2015, 21:59 PMCruzz

Reinforcements will be Jaegers too and the MP cost will be the same as on a Jaeger squad (37MP)
