What about Ost though?

They are shoehorned even harder into the same LMG Gren build, everytime, vs everything.

Sort of a relevant and primary problem. Dont you think?

Imo FHQ carries enough buffs and advantage, that it really should remain vulnerable to the counters Strumming lists.

Trick is to not place it actually at the frontline, but as a fall back and support position from an adjacent sector.

I think the FORWARD HQ part has been miscontrued to mean that its actually on the frontline. In a historical/realist sense, though I dont like to bring that up except as a guideline, you also NEVER had a company HQ as the ability suggests, right on the line. A company HQ was/is essentially a support/logistics position with food/equipment/munitions/medic stations, commanding officers and a communications hub. It was never at the actual front, unless the line collapsed and it becomes a fortified position devoid of the support/logistics elements mentioned above.

I think a repair option with CE is the most valid change, on its own, similar to Ost variant of repairing a Bunker.

Another option is the building is structurally reinforced by making it an HQ, especially to indirect fire. I think this should be manageable statwise, by applying a specific cover modifier to the HQ building.
But I dislike that, because it needs to remain vulnerable to indirect fire that is designed to be structure dmg intensive and specific.
Else, how the hell are you supposed to kill it.

As to flames, well, if a flamer gets close enough, you sort of fked the defense of the HQ.

TLDR: Repair, yes. But never place a FHQ on the frontline, unless you are prepared to lose it for a temporary advantage. Always in an adjacent fallback sector.

Hi Cynthia,

1)Any rough info on whenabouts we can expect next balance patch?

2) There was at one time a sort of "1patch per month" kind of principle.
Has that schedule been changed?

Tbh its Ost that is mostly locked into spam builds.

Almost completely reliant on LMG Grens.
And though everyone is screaming that if Maxim is nerfed, Cons need to be buffed (or some, even more crazily, just want a Cons buff, and leave Maxim alone), AT THE SAME TIME as they want LMG nerfed, its kind of a crap chute, isnt it.

Why is nobody arguing for PGren buff for example?
I mean wth else is Ost supposed to build for infantry?

There is so much deliberate sarcasm (read: beligerent misrepresentation), that its no longer possible to talk about things as they actually are, because of all the sarcastic "hurrdurr im so clever and politically correctly offsneive, xos sarcasm" derailing.

I mean whats the point?

Do people want the game to be balanced SARCASTICALLY, or something?

"Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt."

Do people seriously think that throwing sharp, cutting, bitter gibes and taunts around, is a way to have a respectful, constructive and as objective as possible discussion on balance and how to improve the game?

I watched about 5mins and left.

Boredom.

The youtube vid is much much better promo, even though its in a noisy dark room.
