It would be much better if they made a couple shells land where you click. I know it's supposed to be a RNG cannon but a little less RNG would be nice.

So like penal to cons ?

if so give them penal rifle

Sounds good. Then take away the G43 upgrade and Panzershrek upgrades and give them a PTRS upgrade. Or don't compare units in a vacuum.

I'd be surprised if the balance team considers upgrading the starting performance of PF's to match Volks. They've been trying to avoid making "no-brainer" units and that would definitely make them a no-brainer. They scale better than volks and are fine as is.

We just saw a balance preview game with 3 Churchill

Hence this reheated discussion on otherwise quiet ukf thread

I missed the preview games. Were they all 1v1's and did the person using 3 Churchill's win? I could see where you might get away with that in a 1v1. In a 3v3 or more, someone will run a recon and someone will follow that with a Walking Stuka, Pwerfer, or LEFH shot and get the engineers repairing the Churchill. Then you get to wait a minute for your new engineers to spawn before resuming repairs.

Some of the disagreements may be a matter of perspective. I just played two games against Sim City. In the first one, someone built so many Bofors in the center of Lienne that it became funny at some point. They usually lasted about 2-3 minutes. The most annoying thing was that I couldn't harass their fuel because the retreat path would have been right past the Bofors. The second match was on Steppes and I had to take down a Bofors and mortar pit by myself. It took way too long and almost caused us to lose. Mortar halftracks will do it but it can take awhile, even with incendiary. If all my experience was like the second game then maybe I'd be more worried about Sim City. In any case, Sim City didn't seem all that viable so it seems like people are mostly complaining that it took them too long to win a game.

Given the other changes to Rifle Sections and pyrotechnics, would the balance team look at restoring the ability of Tank Hunters to be upgraded at least to pyrotechnics? I haven't seen them used in ages, they were always sorta situational, like a panic puma only worse, and the doctrine as a whole is so-so. It would also help if some of the shells on the off-map arty didn't scatter so that it would reliably counter howitzers.

Why does svts work better than ppsh on cons?

On most maps SVT's are better due to lack of sight blockers and lanes that are easy to lock down with MG's.
