Saying that the Kubel MG34 has inferior DPS to the MG42 on the 221 shows that you don't actually play this game, especially since it has the same effective DPS as a Ober squad without ever having to get in close range unlike the 221.By the time a 221 comes out, you can tech up shortly afterwards Lieu with handheld AT.

Show Spoiler


Vipper's right mate. Although Kubelwagen has better DPS than the Obers' LMG up to 8 range, past that, it's way less, all the way up to max range where Obers LMG alone literally does twice as much DPS as the Kubel.

Are you talking about Obers before their LMG? Because even that's wrong. Obers still do more damage max range than the Kubel.

221 also has better DPS at all ranges except 30-35 compared to the kubel.

Forward reinforcing is perfectly fine.

Forward retreat points was the cancer.

If you struggle against forward reinforcing, that means you did whooping jack at adapting to situation you did not expected to encounter.

Skill issue.
But then again, what isn't with this OP.

It necessitates the use of an AT gun or tank/LV, yes. It's very strong until you kill the halftrack.

Unless you mean that units would just instantly replenish their magazines after a delay... In which case that would honestly be a decent idea.

I don't like the idea of certain units having infinite magazines hollywood-style. No need to make it instant when it can just be a normal reload. Realistically almost nobody would notice, but it would be better attention to detail if they did a quick reload after some time out of combat.

We had that in coh1.
It prevented you from reinforcing infantry if you had mechanized gameplay, pretty much PE problem, which is DAK here.

Well what's the problem with that? In CoH2, for example, we have soviets choosing between T1 and T2, either opting for stronger infantry or better teamweapon support. You're giving up one for another, (or you could do both at great detriment to yourself) just like you theoretically might be doing in this situation for DAK; you either play mostly with infantry, mix both and play around manpower starvation, or focus mostly on vehicles.

I don't personally see that as a big issue, especially when DAK has all the tools necessary to make infantry gameplay work, as well as having powerful vehicles to base their mechanized gameplay around.

It would also temper the base battlegroups a bit, especially the tiger, which only has that manpower cost. If you've been pressing the advantage with tanks already, and paying manpower to keep them in fighting shape, then I think it makes perfect sense that you shouldn't be able to easily snowball with the 900 manpower Tiger. (Which would otherwise be easy because Tanks help to minimize manpower bleed without such a mechanic.)

I also didn't play CoH 1 PE extensively (or any faction particularly much), so maybe there's some huge element to this that I'm missing here.

Tying it to only the heavier vehicles would alleviate the PE/DAK problem, in any case. Your Ultralights and Lights don't bleed, but perhaps your Tiger does.

I'm sure there's space to play around with this concept again.

I agree. I don't think it's a bad idea in principle. Unless Katitof can bring some examples as to why it crippled PE in CoH 1 or something.

Had no problems shift queuing capture points in COH3 on the minimap

Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I think it was either the resource points or manpower points you couldnt cap on the minimap. Either way, I know there were issues.
