Riflemen need a little buff


Riflemen buffs would completly brake the game at this point. USF was weak before all the changes but now they are actually the best allied faction for 1v1 and 2v2 (depending on map and match-up). No way should they get a buff to their mainline infantry.

In my personal opinion the game is going in wrong direction with powerful infantry early on that can brutally and frontally attack the enemy.

Or powerful light vehicles that simply hold too much shock value.

The use of combined arm has simply been lowered.

The fire fights simply last a sort period and do not actually allow tactical movement to have meaningful impact.

I can agree on the infantry, but will have to disagree on lights, as long as they have no place post early game and basically have a window of effecitveness measured in up to 5 minutes, minus exceptional, super conservative plays, in which case they last long, but don't have much of an impact due to how careful you need to be with them.

Puma and SU-76 are pretty much perfect lights that are useful both, when they arrive and later on.

And fights need to be short out of cover, otherwise you'd have CQC inf steamrolling everything.

1CP Pathfinders makes them incredibly awkward to put in builds: the early CP tracker isn't a consistent timer.

The current cooldown based solution is much better for preventing easy Pathfinder spam.

Generally agreed with Katitof. The infantry balance seems good now, outside of a few outliers. JLI get too hard to hit, Assault Guards and Assault Grens are bad, cons don't scale. I am also skeptical about Falls being too damaging, but I also don't see them often enough to get a decent sense of counterplay.

CP 0 units are map depend.

For instance they can spawn allot closer to the front-line from "rail and metal" on south side than in the north.

A far better solution imo would be for this units to become build able from HQ so that it does not upset the built times of faction allow numerical advantage.

I don't think this is bad per sé, as it creates a lot of diversity and tension. Personally I really liked how the Commander Revamp Patch has greatly increased the number of viable units and strats because it has added a huge amount of variety.

Around the time of GCS2 the game was perhaps too balanced which just made matches rather boring (same meta used every match) and dragged almost every game into an hour long slugfest.

I can't disagree with that, my feeling is that we went from late game heavy call-in meta to light/medium call-in meta to infantry call-in meta.

But my biggest concern is about the Balance team not willing at all to remove the 100 manpower OKW get for free early game and reduce by 100 the total cost of their trucks. This would solve so many issues in one shot.

Not really.

As clearly demonstrate by Reckon company unit have times frames and many of this units are simply too early for their time frame.

One can easily increase diversity if allow the option to scale in the same time frame with mainline infantry or if these unit provide an early advantage that is diminished in time.

When it comes to stale meta that has to do more with certain units or abilities being OP or with certain built being safer. It does not have to do with power level of early infantry.

Specially vs OKW.

My only gripe is the changes to Recon. I'm used to it by now, and I'm OK with the AT gun being gone and CP3 airdrop rework, but I feel like the changes to the pack howie were unnecessary.

That, and the increase in price of I&R Pathfinders is too expensive. They should be a cheaper unit, maybe 270mp is a reasonable middle ground. I'm fine with the delay to spawn them too now that I'm used to it, I played Recon all the time when they were 1CP and had no problems with that either, even though I always wished they were 0CP at the time. If they decrease the price of I&R AND Airborne Pathfinders I'll be very happy. Right now at 290mp I don't have much incentive to build either unit outside of getting one squad for its LOS when I need that.

Outside of this, the game is pretty decent, not too many issues in any factions, and there's been a lot of positive changes lately, such as giving UKF a snare through Royal Engineers, and the changes to JLI.

I'd honestly rather have IRs back at CP1 and costing 250mp myself.

Unfortunately, Relic hasn't been able to update their database since 16.5.2017. The charts aren't up to date anymore.
