This is one change I'll have to test to see how it performs. If it makes it to easy to blob with frontal assaults and completely break suppresion lines for 30 munitions then I will not agree with it. The initial ground gained plus the second ground gain from the suppression counter reset may be enough to overwhelm the HMG anyway. I'll have to test it though.

I could even see scenarios where an HMG is suppressing the Captain + 2 rifle squads, and the moment the HMG has to reload just use 'On Me!' and you win the engagement. Seems to easy and dull, like CoH1 ability blob style. It is for this reasoning that I dislike it, since it completely ignores the importance of placing your Captain in an aggresive yet safe position.

I think Relic's implementation of the 'On Me!' ability has a lot more tactical depth since you have to position the Captain in the correct position for it all to work. Relic just have not implemented the ideal ability since the range is huge an makes a mess of your whole frontline, rather than helping 1-2 squads in the same engagement. I agree it is a annoying pain to give +5 stop orders, but removing tactical awareness to make things mechanically easier? No thanks.

On the topic of pin point rallying with the ability it has never bothered me to be honest. If the USF player loses his whole blob because of it then thats the USF players fault in analyzing the risk vs. reward associated with using 'On Me!'.

Yeah the system is better if it gives the player the option to enable/disable it. Either way though it hardly bothers me as a massive issue and I'll just have to learn to communicate without swearing.

I personally swear a lot even, though it is rarely ever an insult/abuse. It is just the way I talk whether it be online or real-life. Heck, I even swear when I am talking with my parents but they don't give a shit because they know I am a nice/respectful person.

Yes increased range effectively means increased accuracy at the previous ranges.

There's 2 possibilities as for what it applies to:

First is that it only applies to LEFH (and remanned pack howitzer, leig, ml20/b4), because they're the only units with "artillery" as their unit type

Second is that it also applies to rocket artillery, because they're "mobile artillery" so just searching for artillery in unit types will match that as well

Mortars are mortars, they're not classified as artillery. It's unlikely they'd be affected as a couple of things that do affect mortars and artillery (like for mother russia) refer to them separately.

Thanks Cruzzi!

They could keep fixed spawns if they reversed the Allies/Axis spawn for the majority of 1v1 maps. I honestly wouldn't mind this, however at the moment it is all wrong and is literally unfair/boring.

For automatch I still prefer random positions as it lets you use a lot more strategies and increases replayability.

Or maybe rather than OST players spamming more LMG grens to counter it they will realise that if they use HMG or sniper well it has a better effect. Combined arms reborn.
