Thread: What could be done about engineer vet9 Jul 2021, 15:53 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2021, 10:37 AMVipper One should simply not expect a 170MP+30 MU unnit to perform the same with 210MP+120MU unit... No one's expecting them too. They will still be signigicantly worse in combat. Which is the entire fucking point Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2021, 10:37 AMVipper Getting more than one engineer as EFA is actually more viable strategy than using more than one as WFA. Really it's just more necessary cause you have to build a tech building. And you have no other means for repairing (without doc) OKW is the only one its truly less viable for, US and Brits it's a perfectly sound option to get another engineer. Mostly for AT purposes In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 21:12 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 21:02 PMHannibal The vet bonus for WFA is way smaller though. Only because it's not needed as much Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 21:02 PMHannibal WFA can get their pios vetted via combat, while EFA pioneers are practically combat incapable after the upgrade. That's the main reason for the change. It has more to do with how capable other engineers are after the sweeper upgrade than it does with anything else In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 20:26 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 17:16 PMEtherealDragon I thought the whole point of giving EFA repair speed boost with minesweeper upgrade was to address this issue of not vetting easily I think it had more to do with EFA having no other way of boosting repairs stock besides vet 2. And WFA engineers also get the vet 2 bonus, even though they already have other means of increasing repair speed on their stock roster In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 14:20 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 14:14 PMVipper I have yet not seen a single argument why EFA engineer need a buff in their repair speed/shared vet. The thread is literally filled with them, but you do you In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 13:46 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 13:34 PMVipper Looking at T4 as an investment to engineers is weird way of looking of thing but rather irrelevant. It's not weird at all, especially for EFA as both of them literally already have infantry bonuses that unlock with t4... Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 13:04 PMVipper Point is that EFA would have access to far more cost efficient repair engineer since the unit would cost less and yet be able to repair at similar speed. After t4 is built. You still haven't said why that's a problem. It's locked behind t4 specifically to prevent it from being too efficient And the other engineers still have other advantages, especially in combat Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 13:34 PMVipper I am not sure what you mean by better since: OKW mech truck has a cost and a tech choice attached UKF heavy sapper have a munition cost and a tech choice attached so they are not really more cost efficient. If I meant cost efficient, I wouldve said cost efficient. They are better in that they exist in the first place. EFA has nothing to boost repairs stock aside from sweeper upgrade (besides veterancy, which all 5 engineers get) Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 13:34 PMVipper Not really unless they also equip a weapons Yeah exactly. They can still equip weapons, after equipping a sweeper. Helps them Vet up much faster hence the existence of this thread In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 13:21 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 13:04 PMVipper Yes they would. Check repair speeds pls. No, you misunderstood. I'm saying it wouldn't be less investment, not that it wouldn't be faster This is literally why you lock it behind t4... Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 13:04 PMVipper PLS try to keep your comments specific "their factions have better repairs already" does not really say much. It says exactly what it says, they currently have better repairs USF have crews on top of their engineers, OKW can get the mech HQ repair station on top of their engineers. Brits can get extra man on engineers, can upgrade their repairs further with one of their t4 paths All the while all 3 of those factions engineers can have MUCH better combat after equipping a sweeper In: Lobby
Thread: Bugreport- Commander Update June 20218 Jul 2021, 12:50 PM I had a lag/bug at the end of the 2v2 I just played. One opponent quit, and a few minutes later the second one quit For some reason, the game didn't end when the 2nd person quit. It took like 90 seconds or so for the game to end even though both players from one side had dropped In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 12:42 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 12:34 PMLady Xenarra You've never done 3v3+ and one SOV player has 3+ repair stations out? I think the record I've seen is 6 or 7. Oh I've seen it before. But nowhere near often enough to qualify as "many Soviet players" The crew repair ability is much more common, and its on one of the best commanders (guard motor). Soviets have a bunch of doc repairs but so does everyone. WFA have better repairs stock is the reason for the change In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 12:31 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 08:44 AMVipper EFA engineer would better at repairs with a smaller investment. No they wouldn't, the bonus would be locked behind t4 Even if that were true why would it be a problem? The WFA engineers have plenty of other advantages, and their factions have better repairs already Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2021, 11:41 AMLady Xenarra Hear hear. Many SOV players also use the repair station so it's not as big a problem for SOV. Lol what? In: Lobby
Thread: What could be done about engineer vet8 Jul 2021, 05:49 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jul 2021, 22:26 PMVipper Combat engineers and Pioneer get repair bonus with sweeper. If they gain shared veterancy that bonus would have to go. Don't see why that's necessary, especially if the shared vet is locked behind t4 In: Lobby
