Volk Shrek blob fix proposal

Don't reduce the speed of the squad, that will penalize too much vs enemy infantry.

The best they can do is increase the aim time of any bazooka weapon to define the role as a deffensive weapon. that will make blobs more easy to deal (kitting) with tanks, and will be useful for deffensive stances in case of enemy tanks approach to you.

Hey guys I was wondering if reducing move speed on shrek carrying squads would balance them out a little better?

We all know that a blob of shreks can destroy almost all allied vehicles with no much of a struggle but if they had a small movement penalty like 20% maybe it would allow a little more time for vehicles to run away!

What do you guys think?

Hey guys I was wondering if reducing move speed on m1919 carrying squads would balance them out a little better?

We all know that a blob of m1919s can wipe almost all axis infantry with not much of a struggle but if they had a small movement penalty like 20% maybe it would allow a little more time for axis infantry to run away!

What do you guys think?

(see how silly that sounds?)

Problem is, 1919's require the troops to be stationary to shoot, meaning that chasing and moving around severely reduces the units fighting power, I think thats enough of a nerf.

Would need to nerf Axis artillery... panzerwerfer is super potent as of right now.

It wasn't a serious suggestion.

Then give OKW non-doctrinal MG to counter USF/SOV heavy blobs

This and the introduction of that T0 mortar they had planned for USF would help make the WFA factions more interesting and we'd see less of that unhealthy infantry-only playstyles with almost no weapon teams.
It's simple psychology. If there is other accessible options to infantry-heavy approaches more people will try and use these alternatives. What needs to be encouraged is a combined use of infantry and team weapons. This was always what made CoH great & gave it such a tactical feel.
