Nerfing Valient Assault and For Mother Russia.

I don't think you understood the point there:
Your response to me saying VA is problematic was, that another ability would be way stronger and even more problematic. This other ability has similar function (DPS buff), but no sprint in combat. You then concluded that all similar abilities (VA, FMR) could be fixed by removing the sprint.

That does not make sense at all.

i though u were saying the 1.25 accuracy was too strong not the sprint

i though u were saying the 1.25 accuracy was too strong not the sprint

Yes

by range i mean that u don't need to saty at max range . or fight in open field, the bonus accuracy is just as effective at medium, close range

Not really. High accuracy units have diminishing results unless facing opposing units with higher RA bonuses as well.

At range 10> you are ignoring cover.

Let's say Cons 0.7 at that distance (0.76 at 0 which drops up to 0.66 at 25).
x1.5
1.05 accuracy. At vet 0
Vet2: 1.47
Vet3: 1.62

Against Obers 0.7 you get diminishing results from vet 2 and onward. For vet3 you would need to fight units with 0.62 RA or better (like vet3 Obers)

U can shoot on the move when sprint is removed during combat don’t forget that

nope they just get better buff for "reasons" cause the argument of more expensive troops makes no sense, u have penals

I thought I made a nice post that spelled out what I meant. Was it not concise enough or are you just cherry picking?

% based buffs improve the base stats
50% of 10 is the same as 25% of 20
This means the units with the lesser stats (in this case Soviet units) despite the higher modifier, improved to less insane levels.

Look at blitz on the panther for example, due to its high mobility blitz on the panther is actually a nerfed version of blitz that is on the p4 because the higher base stats are impacted massively by the same modifier that is acceptable on lower stats.
Same with okw and soviet units.
VA will be buffing things like lmg Obers, falls, stg volks and Sturm pioneers
For mother Russia is effecting primarily conscripts, combat engineers, penals and shocks.
Higher modifier but lower base stats means less overall benifit, even if the relative benifit is higher.

Additionally, losing the sprint in conbat would actually still be a big buff for OKW units due to their long range dps coupled with their FOTM accuracy on the various automatics of the okw would benifit much more than the not so good on the move bolt actions or cqb Smgs. Penals would do alright though.

That logic would make sense if Soviet unit paid more mp for worse units , again what u can’t make up in dps u can in numbers

No Stug, it makes perfect sense.
The main problem of all these abilities is the wipe potential before the opponent can react. If a player does not have time to react and stuff just happens on screen, it's horrible design. That's why there are colored smoke grenades for every single bomb run in the game.

Wiping stuff solely comes down to the DPS output, especially for team weapons where models need to pick up the weapon again if the weapon user dies, meanwhile the unit can't soft retreat.
SOV don't have high DPS output with FMR compared to the VA-Fall/Volk combo.

Players need to be able to react to enemy abilities, and for VA it's often not possible.

If the same treatment will happen to UKF "Assault" I'm fine with that.

If they're as wipey sure. But you should be fine even if this was not the case. The more balance, the better

Nerfing for mother Russia thats already a meme ability will make B4 doctrine literally unplayable and useless since B4 is nothing but hot RNG roll garbage

for mother russia + penals has been soo broken i quit playing sov T1 because i could swamp opponents with ease...simply disgusting...

im down with nerfing for mother russia but counterattack tactics needs a buff to compensate aswell... after all its more of a meme doctrine at this stage...

how about buffing the B4 to be more reliable? or making its "direct fire" option available at vet 0? not entirely sure how to buff counterattack without making it either shitty or OP

That would be OP IMO. But I think lowering its damage to half of current self and reducing the cooldown by half while also giving it %20ish scatter buff it can be made into both a reliable antiblob and anti emplacement tool.

It is only OKW and SU doctrines that have these kinds of abilities only right?

Are there any other factions doctrines that have it too?

Imo, these abilities are overkill. They should just be sprint only and no accuracy bonus.

Remove sprint while in combat, you get double shocks that devower grens and Mg 42 via smoke.

Does anybody have the stats of the For the Fatherland ability in the Overwatch doctrine? I think it gives movement speed and an RA buff but I don't remember how much, and it only applies to squads who were in friendly territory when the ability is activated.

radio silence does not sprint, it just moves faster they can still shoot and move

ukf assault remove sprint during comabat

Assault and Hold & Combined Arms don't change movement speed.

OKW: radio silence (sprint), VA, FTF (RA + sprint on own territory)

UKF: Heroic charge, Hold the line (RA on friendly), Assault, Air ressuply,

KV2 and KV8 get inspire at vet 1, not sure if it's sprint or just extra movement speed.

Don't remember if FHQ & Hold the Line change movement speed, not mentioned in guide either.

Radio silence, FTFL, Assault and Resupply are movement buffs, but not sprint (so units can still fire on the move).

There are still certain units that can sprint. Out the top of my head:
- Assault Grenadiers
- Panzerfusiliers (vet 5)
- JLI
- Conscripts
- Captain & Lieutenant (veterancy)

There's also Combined Arms for Panzergrenadiers which gives a modest movement speed buff.

Thxfully i said sprint OR global buff. I also didn't know if i should left Command type of buff out of the equation or not. Cause then i probably miss a few of them.

-Sprint is just a type of movement speed buff. I don't think it's needed to specify how much each ability gives.
-I should had specify about commander abilities which gives sprint to units which normally they don't get it, which is the whole point of the thread.
