This is laughably wrong. You lose a bit of RA (armour is glorified RA anyway) for half the reinforce cost. No brainer.

So Shocks have 1 Target Size and 1.5 armor, while cons have 1.09 TS and 0 armor. If my understanding of the penetration calculation is correct, then the chance for dealing damage against armor is (penetration/armor x 100).

Now, I'm not an information digger, so I might be wrong, but the only infantry weapon I know of that goes above 1 penetration is (besides the MG42 teamweapon) the LMG42 which ramps up to a whopping 1.2 penetration at close range.

So, against just about any small arms fire (G43, STG44, Kar98k, etc.) shocks have a 66% chance to be dealt damage. (1/1.5 x 100) Unless they are face to face with an LMG42, where it is an 80% chance.

That is effectively .66 target size. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Shocks gain a buff to target size with vet, but it's nowhere close to the base amount.

So you're trying to tell me that reinforcing a .66 base target size CQC squad (where it really matters!) with any amount of 1.09 target size models, is worth the nominal amount of MP gained and higher risk of losing DPS fast from model drops.

I can definitely see this not being an issue in close quarters maps with a whole lot of sightblockers so you can strong-arm infantry off the field with shocks ppsh before they get a chance to retaliate. But anywhere else? I don't think it's "laughably wrong".

A-move on Tank Destroyers makes sense and works quite well from my experience. Are you guys attack moving your mediums or something? Because that would seem really odd to me and I dont understand why you would want to do that

Really just about any vehicle you can think of.

Agree. It's just hard to pitch that game model to corporate overlords I'm sure.

It's Saturday, I'm bored, and I'm making a thread of little consequence to the game as a whole for fun.

What really pisses you off? What really gets your goat? What makes you want to tear your hair out and replace it with a bad toupee?

Personally, the thing that pisses me off the most is the vehicle pathing. Just how sometimes you inadvertently back your tank into a spot that you didn't realize the tank is going to have issues getting out of. Oh that and when tanks slip on a bananna peel.

How about you, ladies and gents?

Tell me how exactly you are reducing your frontline presence by splitting a shitty Cons unit to fully reinforce a Shocks/Guard one I am really curious.

Because not only do they keep their larger conscript base target size, they lose all their utility like sprint and snare.

Putting cons into shocks is like plugging a hole in the wall with peanut butter. Yeah it will stop the draft for a little bit, but it's freaking peanut butter what are you doing with your life.
