Profile of Myself

Soviet Industry
Removing this ability that allows players to manipulate their resource with no counter play involved.

Ability replaced Allied Supply Drop

KV2:
Bringing this unit in line with other heavy vehicles

Population reduced from 24 to 19
HP increased from 800 to 1040



KV-2 needs to be looked at and CP and Fuel cost adjusted to the removal of fuel conversion.

Instead of replacing "Soviet Industry", I would suggest some changes that might help the ability become viable, and make T-34/76 used more.

The changes could include the following:

Remove Manpower to fuel conversion.
Keep faster vehicle production.

Introduce one or more of the following:

Increase pop/upkeep of infantry by 10% reduce pop of T34/76 by 10%
This change aims at allowing Industry players to create and maintain a bigger T34/76 army.

Allow T-34/76 to cap without having their weapons disabled...
This change aim to compensate the luck of capping power from the previous change.

Increase the price of the "Mechanized Armor Kampaneya" (M.A.K) by 20-40 fuel and decrease the fuel "Tankoviy Battalion Command" (T.B.C) by 20-40 if M.A.K. is built first. Allow M.A.K. to built without a T.B.C. but allowing access only to T34/76. The T.B.C. would unlock the rest of the vehicles.

This change aims at allowing early T-34/76 access making the Soviet industry commander a T-34/76 specialized commander. T-34/76 fits the role a "industry" commander average and can be produced in numbers.

Alternative another version of a doctrinal T34/76 could be available.


Another approach would be have soviet industry ability to change some of the vehicle fuel cost (10%-20%) to manpower and some of the Vehicle upkeep from manpower to fuel.

This change aim at allowing easier building vehicles but harder maintaining them.

Why are you saying that he poorly expressed himself when he called you jerry ? Did you not poorly understood him maybe ?

Because he made it clear that he did not call me Jerry in his next post as the comment was not personal. Does that have anything to do with the debate? Pls try to stay on topic...

If he wanted to talk generally for axis the sentence should be:
"In simplistic terms, no more free fuel FOR jerry."

Jerry = Axis nickname, not you sorry. History not personal.

...

So I guess the question is beyond a mirror, what is it that you would like?
...

No problem I see you had no intention of becoming personal and it was only poorly expressed.

Imo some of the following changes might be helpful:

Both abilities allow players to have some control over flight path. Starting point could be enemy base or even a far side, drop point could be anywhere in sector or base sector.

S.D.Z have the planes use different flight paths shorten the interval between planes.

A.S.D. increase the number of planes. Make plane untargetable for OKW base flaks.

One could also allow resources manipulation for S.D.Z with dropping FU in MU sector and vice versa but would had to add a premium.

The change does not bring the 2 abilities in line for a number of reasons:

1) S.D.Z requires control of a sector with resources you want to get ,to be used, A.S.D does not require control of any territory and resource land in his base.

2) S.D.Z. requires around 1 minute and 5 passes to be used, A.S.D is used in one.

3)S.D.Z is MP to fuel or MU A.S.D is MU to fuel.

In a 4vs4 game a simple FU cashes will return the same FU just over 4 min instead of 1minute and will be a become a better investment after that without taking an ability slot.

4)In S.D.Z the player has no control over enter or destination (since it has to be sector), while A.S.D the player has some control over flight path since he can control drop the point within is base sector.

...and never receive free AA in the version of base defenses...

If you think this is bad try using Allied supply drop in any game above 2v2.

Base AA where nerfed and are far worse at shooting down planes, even in 4 okw map the plane will manage to pass the base AA more times than not.

I actually have used A.S.D. more times than S.D.Z and it contributed significantly in recent 4vs4 game by me feeding UKF players with fuel while my plane was shot down only 1 out of around 5 times used.

So now take your new drop and compare it to,...
Often the drop has an extremely high success rate as you force your opponent to react immediately. ....

I have compared them, have you?

In S.D.Z. one has around 1 minute to react in ASD a few second...and even if one does not react in the 1 minute he can see the flight path the be prepared for the next one since one can not change the drop site...


If one wanted to bring the abilities in line should allow S.D.Z. some control over flight path should be done 1 pass and there should be some sort of ground counter A.S.D.

As it currently stands A.S.D. is better ability

From patch notes

German Supply Drop zone plane comes in from longest path so that you can shoot down the plane now.

In my opinion, this change nerfs an already weak ability. S.D.Z requires control of the type of resources one wants for a long period of time making it very map depended and can be countered-played by attacking and stealing the resources.

Further more it requires manpower thus becomes a trading army size for teching/vehicles.

Finally it lasts too long allowing enemies plenty of time to move AA in the flight path.

Imo this change should be reverted but if it goes ahead the time for airdrops should be reduced so that it is not so easy to place AA weapons in the flight path...
