At this point I can only hope for either engine improvements (possible, maybe) and progressive balancing (unlikely after pulling the plug on the last round, but maybe they'll just implement the latest version of the community mod? Can only be an improvement).

If they launch another army I might just cry. British emplacements still make the game unplayable for me.

I suspect counter-play is an important factor. For example, the USF major is super squishy. Almost any artillery will punish an overextended FRP using that squad, not to mention the need for an additionally squishy and slow ambulance.

By contrast, the OKW Med HQ can weather almost any single artillery attack. It's generally pretty unlucky if you actually lose a squad near a med HQ.

If the OKW FRP function was, say, an ability to call in their own pricey and fragile commander unit, then we might see some better counter-play. And since Ost bunkers are pretty easy to kill, being able to upgrade a command bunker to be a FRP for a reasonable cost could work. This way both Ost and OKW are separating FRP from at least one (if not both) of healing/reinforcement functions with vulnerable units/structure that add a high risk/high reward element.

Also, some of those larger maps are a freaking nightmare without FRP. They have these huge dead areas between the bases and actual strategic areas where the enemy almost never goes. If FRPs went, certain maps would need to be shortened.

Disagree. For me it looks fine.

Yeah, fine now. Seemed to have been stuck for 4 hours when I posted.

Does the panther still have 0.5 moving accuracy? If it's meant to dive into enemy lines for opportunistic kills to separate it from the stug's sniper role, I kind of feel it should be less hit and miss to compensate for the risk/reward. Especially given the armour nerf in this mod. The low ROF should presumably still prevent it from being too damaging.

Q: Why is X not historically accurate?
A: This is a game, not a simulation. Fun gameplay mechanics come first, to the extent that even the same weapon will often operate differently on different units.
