Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

The unit has also camo, 2 sniper rifles and increased range as vet bonus.

There was a time when Pathfinders with bars was the meta.

Trust me you do not want to make Pathfinders spam-able.

Since they have already 2 slot weapons they drop bars like crazy. I am not talking about making them spam-able, they just cost way to much to reinforce. Rifleman still overall out performs them.

Um... Yeah. You know how well all said that reinforcing for pathfinders live is at 32, it is actually 37.
The only two squads that I can think of that have it higher are Scout Snipers and Obersoldaten.

It still has the problem that it loses badly to a 222, even with the 70 munition armor upgrade. The upgrade should be included in the basic cost, and it would have been better if they gave it something else when they nerfed canister shot into oblivion. Maybe give it passive capping or the ability to lay the general purpose mines.

I have experimenting around with a change ammo ability like a Sherman. Fires buffed vs vehicle ap rounds that do crap vs infantry. And, then make the canister shot into a firing mode, adjusted the values so it does reliable anti infantry but crap vs vehicles.

I'd like if they took the Greyhound and rebalanced it like the old T-70, high risk, high reward.

Too much squad wiping then.

I enjoy spicing things out away from the Heavy Cavalry US build, but not even I would use Recon Company, it has no purpose besides roleplaying.

The Greyhound can be quite nice for a Lieutenant build so you can deploy something similar to a Stuart so you can also deploy M2B HMGs. But, other than that it is pretty bad.

My answer since pathfinders compete with riflemen in the same role, I made them an early game alternative. In comparison, grens will still win at long range while the pathfinders will win at close range in the beginning.

Airborne
Pathfinders reworked
-Now at 0cp
-Alternative to Rifleman
-Gain the Scoped rifles with veterancy
-RA to .91
-260 mp

Armor
-Elite Vehicle Crews now give access to Shermans and Jacksons with five levels of veterancy and removes the Thompson upgrade.

The sexton is a bit more of a heavier artillery piece. While lower impact compared other factions non doctrinal arty, they at least have some. the 25lb emplacement will enable doctrinal heavy non MLRS artillery for fire support. The bofor is moved to avance emplacement in order to make room for a weaking area denial MG emplacement. I would like to add the mortar pit and bofors to the Royal Engineers load out but that would probably replace the very weak flame mortar. Something for the future perhaps.


MG emplacement added to anvil

Royal Artillery
-Sextons are no longer Doctrinal
-Sexton call replace with a 25lb emplacement

Advance Emplacements
-Now enables the usage of mortar pits and bofors
-Precision barrage replace with a 25lb emplacement
