Now that this change is added i think it is time to give OST and SOV a forward retreat point, and us these half tracks that can either have weapon upgrade or just reinforce inf. I say give the M5 and 251 halftrack an upgrade that locks them down and allows them to heal and have inf retreat to them. This upgrade should cost a bit like maybe 120 ammo (could add fuel to the cost two), and take all weapons away from the vehicle.

And with the change to flame weapons the days are numbered for the off-brand KV-8 burning down your mans as they retreat.



Oh Computerheat, a blast for the past; I appreciate it!


Edit: It's still kind of viable. Barton Cars are the best.

You can still make a conscript squad and reinforce other squads as soviet. The M5 is not the ONLY way to reinforce outside base.

IMO pre-buffed M5 with quadmount was OK, things changed simply because they turned the quad into a potent killing machine that made the idea of a halftrack that can reinforced unbalanced.

Nerfing it back a bit would warrant both the defensive weapon and reinforcement, you know, exactly what would solve the problem before all of these changes took place.

I agree with the nerf in general, but it does kinda suck that Soviets' getting AA has only become less effective (much easier for all the other factions to get AA outside of doctrines, and none of them will have to be giving up forward reinforcing to do so).

But just reverting the Quad buffs would have worked too.
