then why not give the incendiary to Sturmpios? They are more expensive, thus more seldom, thus more reaction time between using 'brace'. Also, it would encouraged more okw start builds (against brits, at least)

Also, it just suits them better, goddamnit

This +1.

Commandos and Snipers can hold fire which makes sense but I don't want my Partisans breaking camo trying to plink at some grenadier squad that is far out of the MP-40s effective range.

I think this wouldn't work because it leaves emplacements extremely vulnerable to ground alpha strikes. A couple of focused shreks would be enough to instantly remove a 400mp investment with minimal losses. There'd be minimal counter-play involved there as well.

It seems to me like the main problem here is brace functions too much like a hard-counter. If it's not active, your investment disappears too fast. If it's active, nothing can scratch it. If both the structure health and the dmg reduction bonus of brace are normalized, I think we can end up with a much better situation for everyone. The Brace bonus should be reduced, the base health (and armor?) increased so a concentrated attack that isn't repelled can take out the emplacement in a reasonable amount of time while also allowing ample amount of time to counter prolonged indirect fire from a single source.

In short, I think emplacements should function more like OKW structures. They're durable enough to sustain prolonged indirect fire but not enough to be careless about leaving them undefended for too long.

Any chance we could see the KV-1 turn into a real meatshield tank like the Churchill? Both were ultimately outdated early war infantry tanks with similar guns and armor. While the KV1 is cheaper, the two tanks aren't even in the same realm of survivability.

I'd like to see it get a fuel increase and become a real single-call in heavy to make the Church, particularly considering how alike the vehicles were.

Plus now that the B4 lost both precision strike and the majority of it's far radius aoe damage, it'd complete the commander a bit more.

Giving Strums more of a specialist utility role of garrison clearer + emplacement counter makes design sense too since other factions Engineers are their source of flame counters with flamethrowers. (Wasp aside)

sorry for the delay on but the partiasian perma camo is fixed now, really weird issue had to just juggle the data into different spots but now it works 10/10 no kappa
