I think by now I have every possible faceplate drop.

Yay I guess...

I don't have them all... but I have had a new faceplate! Twisted gold!


Three of them!

uhh flanking is attacking from the side or back. it doesnt require 2 squads. way to look like a dick.

im surprised you dont know that after 4000+ forum posts

A flank is the side. Great observation.

Using flanking as a competent individual involves more than one squad. If all you do is arrive to the side with everything, all your opponent has to do is bloody turn around and you're back to a front to front fight.

To throw in a small point- I suspect that a lot of the problem people will have with the commanders at WFA launch is relative scarcity.

People already have a boat load of soviet commanders- the two new ones are new, cool, and worth hoping for. We can dream of one day having them whilst still using dozens of other ones as we please, bought and earned.

OKW and USF have 3 each standard. No buyable commanders, no level commanders, nada.

3 commanders as special drops isn't a huge number, sure... but 50% of your total is. If people want any commander options they HAVE to rely on this system.

IMO only 1 or 2 should have been drops at launch. Add more in as the roster bulks up, sure, but half? Eesh. Rough, guys.


Edit: While I'm at it. I suspect, too, that the actual drop rate will go up over time and patches. For now, there are still a relatively small number of things to get, after all. As the total potential drop pool gets larger so will the rate at which those drops come to players.

Compare to TF2. Drops started off rare as anything. Now, with an inventory of hundreds of items, you'll usually get a couple every time you play.

I don't mind a few commander being kept as rewards for play, so long as that number remains small. It offers dedicated players some rewards, just like the way that unlocking based on level did.

Now, there is a problem that, at release, 50% of the OKW/US commanders are only obtainable this way.

Hopefully, as more none-drop and buyable/earnable commanders arrive, the problem should go away. As it stands, it's a little suspect.

The russian commanders are already large in number, so having some rare and obtainable ones is great, IMO. Still keeping fingers crossed for No retreat No surrender

The price was 230 mp in the alpha. Actually they should be cheaper in my opinion since they can't win early engagements against other standard infantry (with equal cover). They might win against cons on long range, but no sane soviet player will do that in the beginning. Against riflemen they seem always to lose.

240 mp vs 240 mp implies that there should cover and range situations that will guarantee a win. Just like long range grens vs rifle men & cons.

Sure they scale well due the vet 5 system of the okw. But so does every okw unit.

240mp vs 240mp is cons vs Volks. Riflemen are 270. The ability to buy shrecks and vet to the sky is well worth that 10 extra MP IMO.
