The FRP penalty reduction was a maybe add. But are you saying every faction feature has to be mirrored? Why can the British add a 5th man but no one else can? And I think you can see for yourself why that would be a problem. Why can Soviets combine half squads? I'm not saying take away these things either. I think uniqueness is good for each faction...
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Ofcourse i read the post, otherwise i wouldn't post it in the first place.
Bases are not unit- like in the slightest. Perhaps british emplacements are a exception, but those don't repair/heal other units.
The only thing this suggestion would promote is a camper's heaven, as the player does not need to put his buildings/units in combat in order to gain veterancy. This camping- like playstyle is really what hurts larger matches like 4v4's where teammates sit on the fuel point doing nothing, while everyone else is fighting at a numerical disadvantage. In 1v1's, having these experience- gaining bases would be ridiculous as a single truck that sets up and doesn't get destroyed gets more powerfull and rewarding for doing basic stuff like healing/repairing. All the other factions supposedly don't have this, putting them at a disadvantage.
Simple as that.

Someone can't tell asymmetrical balance decision from core game mechanic functionality I see...

Again why do all faction mechanics need to be mirrored? Because they are not to begin with. Re camping don't you think my idea of a relocating ability encourages more dynamic play? Don't think many of these veterancies should be achievable in 1v1 BTW. Maybe just the first few levels. Also the flak truck would need to be near front lines to gain experience.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Maybe we can give the truck brace ))))
*jokes aside, maybe it can finally survive against air supremacy, or spec weapon's barrage ability, or IL-2 PTAB/ 4x 50kg bomb run ._.

As far as I know, neither of these can kill the truck on its own. Air supremacy was specifically nerfed not to do so.

I think bases need to pick up and move like StarCraft and need a little more late game health to make the faction more interesting.

This isn't starcraft though, this is Company of heroes.
If you want moveable bases, play coh 1 as the brits. Your suggestion has been debunked from what i can see in the comments.

Coh Brits were moveable? Fascinating.. but wasn't it still a sim city faction? What was the point?

Congratulans, you have just concluded your own thread by responding to your own claim right now.
We can all now move on and wait for another silly balance thread.

Can anyone actually say why mobile bases would be bad and not interesting? BTW not every faction in StarCraft has this just the Marines obviously.
