Now that we have all the winter mechanics separated out, get to voting proper!

Edit: My vote is remove. I think infantry taking advantage of the short sight created by blizzards would be cool, and it's a generally frustrating extra layer of micromanagement that slows the game down severely.

you must be punished for making bad judgement/mistakes.

However, it would be interesting if there was a mechanic which allowed us to get around poorly scaling units without having to give the enemy veterancy. It would be a nice soft-balance.

Didn't Cruzzi lose that game? No offense Cruzzi
Aimstrong made alot more mistakes then Cruzzi in the early game. You're not telling the whole story here.

That's true.
And that's also probably true.
I didn't tell the whole story.
But IMO it hinged on that abandoned Sherman

Well, everyone can agree that pathing is bad.
Relic should feel bad about that.
They should work on base mechanics that reduce frustration and add more knobs to balance with. LIKE ACTUALLY GOOD PATHING AND PROBABLY SIDE ARMOR PLS

Alex vs Queen
I literally cried.




Guys I have the real solution.
So MGs are total shit if they can't suppress single infantry, but too powerful if they don't, right?
No wait but I have the solution.
So add one more guy to the Axis MG squads AND THEN MAKE THEM COST LESS TO REINFORCE
AND THEN MAKE THEM WORSE AT SUPPRESSING SINGLE SQUADS
BUT THEN MAKE IT TAKE LONG ENOUGH TO PIN THAT RIFLES CAN GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO CHUCKANADE
AND ALSO MAKE SUPPRESSION EFFECT DECAY SLOWER
AND THEN MAKE THE NADE CHEAPER
BUT THEN ALSO INCREASE THE DAMAGE / ACCURACY OF THE MG SO THE NADE TOSSES ARE RISKY OR MAKE IT MORE SO DAMAGE / ACCURACY LONGER IS SUPPRESSED ENEMY

Well, I figure that can be boiled down to "make MGs do less suppression, but more damage, yet buffer them from the inevitable grenade threat."

Good positioning should always be rewarded, and bad positioning punished. The supposed issue with the MG42 is that it "completely shuts down rifles", well, I see it differently. Rather, I think that the MG counters too hard, and that nades also counter the MGs too hard, but I want to maintain this very tangible reward and punishment of positiong, HOWEVER, this will also provide the option for the USF / Sov player to bleed and spend muni to get HMGs to retreat.
This is still quite different from the patch before the MG buffs, since blobs would be forced onto the ground for longer while not being pinned, and the MG would likely survive, and the blobs would likely have sustained more damage.

I think it's far better this more soft-counter way. USF would have the (very manpower expensive) option of brute forcing their way through their bad decision to walk into an HMG.
