Diversifying USF gameplay - Two Commander ideas

Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2015, 02:34 AMBeefSurge

Better ideas:

"Hero Company": A true company of heroes that's determined to win the war at all costs. Has access to the best men and strongest gear.



0 CP Advanced Training, like Troop Training

2 CP automatic .30 cal assault rifle upgrade for 60 muni

3 CP incendiary grenades for riflemen (molotovs on drugs)

6 CP Freedom Assault ability that inspires all American forces for a cost of 100 munis.

15 CP Caliope Pershing Ace, deploys a special vet 3 Pershing equipped with missile launchers. Freezes all fuel and 50% MP income while the tank is intact. Crew all have Thompson SMGs, cooked frag grenades, and better received acc.

Honestly they could put the Pershing in a Commander called "Pershing", and that's all it is, and people will buy it.

Oh noes! That's a piss poor excuse to dismiss a unit that could add diversity.

War was universally hated, by your logic they shouldn't have even made CoH2. #duhh

There's a difference when you're talking about a unit that is a broken piece of garbage. It sucked. Period. It couldn't hit shit, was immensely heavy and could only be moved by truck. You'd essentially be adding a shitty PaK 43. Congratulations.

That didn't stop them from adding the M10, which suffered the same problems except as a self-propelled platform. Or every AT Gun except the Raketenwerfer, which was moved by animals or vehicles. Do you think Infantry actually pushed Pak 40's up to the front line?

M42 cries in a corner

Light guns like the M-42 could be moved by hand, but alas they'd become obsolete by 1945. And after 1950, AT Guns in general were largely obsolete in favor the Main Battle Tank, Tank Destroyer, and Rocket Propelled Grenade.

Slightly OT but I love Cold War military discussion.

I just like how there was a period in the 1950's where the Soviet Union could have invaded the west with AK-47's and Main Battle Tanks while Europe and America were still largely armed with Bolt-Actions, Submachine Guns, and Medium Tanks.

I guess the Westerners (America especially) saw the Sturmgewehr fail to turn the tide of the war, and thus weren't in a rush to make their own Assault Rifles.

I really really don't understand why Relic doesn't add the pershing to the game.
I mean, who doesn't want it? Only Quinn D.? The rest of the universe is craving for this unit..

Speak for yourself

There's a lot of players that don't want it. A poll thread last year was 84/82 in favor of no Pershing.

Lots of history fans prefer the Jumbo because unlike the Pershing, it actually had an effect on the war. The Pershing had an effect on US Cold War tank design more than anything.

I can live without pershing. Better redesign USF faction and make their non-rifles spam tools working.

I honestly think USF is boring to play with (my opinion, don't go nuts on it) cause of it's shortage on different tanks. Sherman, E8, Jackson or Wolverine. That's it, that's all and 2 of them are freakin' doctrinal.
But yeah, that's just my opinion.
