+2 The recast timer for LeIG Barrage is so short that you can just endlessly barrage an emplacement and there is nothing you can do because of the 1 Minute Recast on Brace which opens the emplacement to too much damage.

What is the point in having the barrage function if you can only fire it once ever 30 seconds or somewhat after it ceased the previous barrage? Then the emplacement will never go down, unless that is what you want.

Ever heard of attack ground?

yeah so it can fire constantly at the point of an emplacement. So getting rid of the barrage ability won't change anything

any more USF changes?

Cheap MP teching and a Bren buff vs sniper are welcome changes. imo though the bren should get the vet 1 ability stock, every other faction has access to early repairs with engies.

It really doesn't take long for them to get Engineers out. Sure they don't start with them, but they're not too far from reach.

The carrier is already the most expensive early light vehicle out of all factions, imo it wouldn't hurt to give it a little utility with self repair.

It's also the most mobile light vehicle in the game

It's also the most mobile light vehicle in the game, the turn rate and acceleration are amazing. If it gets fausted, that means you weren't paying attention to it.

It's also bit silly that soviets/USF can garrison their clown cars and shoot out of them. for some reason UKF can't do this even though the upgrades take away the ability to transport troops.

It looks like a block and it moves like a block.
Its maneuverability is nowhere near M3 or 222.
It LOVES to stop completely just to turn slightly all the time.

I think this is for balance reasons, as being in a vehicle counts as cover/garrison bonus right?
So you'd have a highly mobile tommy squad that are always in cover that could just kite any grenadiers that come for the faust.

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)

Wouldnt it be possible to give units an aura for received fire that stacks up when more and more units just blob together?

This would shut down blobbing down for ever. Just wondering
