USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog

I think removing Pack Howi auto attack to improve the number of shells in the barrage to 6 (with a slight cost decrease) would be an interesting change. It would basically be like a mini LeFH/ML-20 but mobile, or an infantry version of the Priest. This would be both unique and it would decrease overlap between mortar, howi, and scott.

Sounds like an interesting idea but on the other hand should USF have superior infantry then Ostheer and superior support weapons?

Once more the idea of buffing things or cloning units across factions without taking into account factions strengths and weakness is bad.

If pack howitzer has little reason to be built replace it with mortar in the tech tree (no reason for a T0 mortar in the current tech system ) and make it doctrinal.

With the little testing I have I see little reason for USF to actually unlock anything else then LT, Cap, Major and go for the new Dozer which is broken for the price of Sherman+munition or M8a1.

Removing the T0 mortar would may actually force them to unlock it.

Is it possible to give exp for building USF tech buildings like Soviet and Ostheer has? That would allow USF to reach CPs earlier therefore units like pathfinders or greyhound more accessable.

Simple change and would help many doctrines be more atractive

Because the whole point of that kind of change is to give USF cooldown only barrage weapon that all other factions have in form of rocket arty(and brits with their gimmicky but now I suppose functional base howis).

UKF base howies aren't an indirect fire substitute with their current throw range. They're very slow, ineffective grenades.

Until the flares actually outrange HMGs, they don't serve the role of a mortar or a rocket arty, because you've got to pull off a flank to throw the flare down. If you've done that, you might as well just throw a normal grenade at the HMG because it's more effective.

The only real use of UKF base howitzers right now is stunning vehicles in team games.

Can't get why they can't make it a proper howie that can receive direct firing orders but pay an off map like cost...

I mean, they are still trying to pretend that one day they will manage to turn it into the mortar support ukf needs.....

And give back smoke to rifles?

Could you focus your discussion on USF's tech rework?
You can make other threads to talk about UKF or how Volks lava grenades are BS. (They are)

That said I do feel this rework is the only buff USF needs, now the changes could move onto further Commanders reworks, as those who help you skip tech will fall behind with how easy and rewarding. is to back tech now for USF.

In case you probably missed it, US doesn't have any other early game way of dealing with HMG, contrary to, you know, ALL OTHER FACTIONS with smoke, snipers or early game transports/flamers.

T0 mortar, that can also shoot smoke?
