Willy Pete is fine, it counters static play, as it should.

Again, I'm not ragging on the incendiary ability itself, its the fact that it slows units to a crawl, even in retreat to the point where they will receive 1% health. Incendiary for punishing static play is good, its the slowing action on retreat that is stupid.

Then you should preface by saying that any ability interrupting or disrupting the retreat speed besides unit blocking, should be check upon right ?

I don't really understand why everyone is so hostile. I'd say forcing units to retreat is a big enough reward for a 25 munis ability. All other tools that slowed retreats or enabled cheesy wipes on retreat have been removed


And this is the correct answer. Because OP mention a specific ability for a certain faction, instead of talking about the mechanic as a whole. Another example would be heavy snow.

Buff the damage or let it kill models, but the movement penalty on retreating units should be removed.


The thing is, is it possible? Mind you that we had barb wire fields on beta and they were removed cause they would be cheesy to use in retreat paths.

US doesn't have any other incendiary option, their Willy Pete is how they force things to move, just keep aware the 3 units that can use it, Mortar Halftrack, a veteran Pack Howitzer and the Rifle Company Commander.

They should act like other incendiary where the units are burned if you do not react to the action, not instantly taken down to 1% health regardless of your action.


Oh yes, do this. I think you don't know what you are talking about ^_^

White phosphorus is a perfect balanced ability that requires combined arms to perform. Changing it for incendiary rounds would simply make the HT mortar and commander ability.... OP.

IMO all WP rounds slowing units is kinda gay but that part of their DOT style of damage. Not to mention WP also blinds people and as such is why it slows tanks and also makes their guns not work.
I don't think they are OP and also have a (what feels like) a wide scatter and a long time to deploy from the mortar HT that is.
