One solid reason not to change it so that Sturm pios get shreks instead is that the chance of drop would be so high would it not?

OK I read everyone's comments and basically we get a list like this.

1a. Bump Volks to popcap 8.
1b. Increase Volks reinforcement cost.

2a. Slow down Volks vetting speed. They get to 5 every game because of vehicle kills. Getting to vet5 should be much harder. Give them less XP when it's the Shreks that make the kill, if possible.
2b. Change what the 5 vet levels actually buff. Long range accuracy buff for Shreks is to high and/or not needed.


3a. Reduce Shrek spam by making Obers have to buy their LMG. If all MUN is being spent on buying shreks, then OKW's anti-infantry potential should suffer late game.

4a. Shrek accuracy at long range needs to be reduced.
4b. Shreks perform to well as anti-infantry. That sniper kill shot with shreks has got to go. Logically, equipping a Volk with AT should reduce their anti-infantry DPS, not increase it.

OR an entirely different idea, which could make use of some of the options above, would be to change the Shrek upgrade to a PzB AT rifle instead. Works against light vehicles for early game AT potential, and encourages flanking Allied tanks late game to be effective. OKW has other options for late game anti-tank that they don't need Volks with shreks. Volks with PzB AT would provide support, rather then be the spearhead as they currently are.

For me these 2-3 second lockups have been with me since the beginning. That was during beta before the launch of game. So it has nothing to do with updates, or what they did to battle servers etc. If you are playing online and it stops then goes into fast forward that is actually a feature not a bug. And while it may look like the same thing as the normal lockup the reasons behind why they happen are different. For the online lockup it's due to lag and that's the normal response. Offline playing the campaign or doing a comp stomp it happens and I guess the programers have not figured out why yet. I has nothing to do with PC power. You could build a $3000 PC and it would still do this. And it happens to both AMD and Intel users so its not a CPU related program bug. Hopefully some day we get a patch that makes it go away for good.

The Soviet and Wehrmacht charts aren't in PDF form like the other 2. Therefore saving them and using their links to the units wikis doesn't work.

Community spotlight needs to be not forgotten. I like the idea, but why haven't I seen some map rotation?

Serpent Basin should be in the spotlight as well. I love it.

One thing nobody seems to ever talk about is tactical map updates. I would appreciate it if the mini map exactly matched the full map. Every time there is an update to a map, say a house is moved or removed, the mini map is never updated to reflect that. It always stays day 1 version. Is it hard and time consuming to have an updated tactical map re-rendered? IDK, but my guess is that the map engine probably generates it for you, and the map updaters are just skipping that step all the time.

This has been an issue since vCOH as well. When I see units garrisoned inside a house on the tactical map, and their position is not where the house silhouette is it just stands out to me. I'm the kind of person that would fix that if I could. If I was a map maker, I would certainly give as much attention to the tactical maps accuracy as I do the full one.
