Profile of Latch

I don't see it like that, very few player repair their support weaopons. Hit it with something and the demo with insta-kill it. Or simpler -> You know how to do it? Put the mine, then shoot the crew and then wait, your enemy can't do anything. It is trolling, a joke ability I am fine with. Simply use it right and it is OP, even without a win-button.



Making it a fuk would be more than OP for such an easy ablity. The logic of that is like Sturmtruppen can't mine a flagg if not connected, or Goliath is an easy-kill by small-armes.

What? You do realise that to actually get a demo charge onto an LEFH can be no easy task right? Its a hell of a lot easier to 1 click with abilities. The only thing I would say is broken is that mandos demos are not on CD with glider drop, but its not exactly subtle and the planting time isnt instant.

Goliath should 1hk arty pieces too including Preists and Sextons (Which I think it does anyway?)...

Snippity snip

I'm happy with this as a lightweight, efficient batch of changes for a game that's old enough where any patch could be its last.

I for one appreciate you actually trying to make a visible change than just moan like the rest of us (Myself included) that UKF have been hit too hard with the patches.

The current patch Im floating between rank 80-130 with huge loss streaks even to players that are rank 4/5/600+, all someone needs to do is know the UKF weakness and if they can exploit it, its basically GG.

Here is what I've noticed where the patch has screwed UKF:

- They made heavies tied to tech but then reduced the CPs so you can get a 15 min Heavy, that in itself is an indirect nerf to UKF.

If you go bolster you delay your tech/tanks and if you dont go bolster you lose infantry engagements when weapons start to be equipped. If you go AEC and build one whilst its utility can last well into late game (although rather micro intensive) youv've again, gimped tech so you have to survive against a Tiger with an AEC and a few AT guns and Im not saying that can't work:

But it requires a lot of luck and isn't fun at all and once its dead, by the time you can get a tank out, they will have another Tiger out too.

You fall crutches on your doctrinal choice, if you go the wrong commander, at times you cant counter your enemies stock units. Lets say you are pinned into your base by MG's and AT Guns (Dont retort with any "But x!", just imagine) what as UKF can you do?

A) Sniper but that wont do much to get you out of base
B) Pyro tommies or vet sniper and hope the arty pushes them away

That's it, not to mention that the latter requires muni so if you are cut off you may only have 1 shot at it. Anyother faction however could build mortars and smoke/barrage but UKF are again gimped as they can't build their indirect inside their base.

So you have to rely on your commander choices and if you chose poorly then its game over, mandos and drop behind enemy lines thats a good one, lend lease for the mortar but then youve fucked yourself after the LV phase is over or mandos with Land matress, but what do each of these not have?

A heavy tank "Go the commander with mandos and the churchill!" well, they gimped that one too as you cant place it into base either and for 1 command squad, its around 950 man power......

So in the heavy tank meta game, as UKF you are sat in the corner like a lightweight in a super heavy weight fight.

Because arty pieces have OHK protection if they are crewed and explosive hits them to prevent stuka instawiping that considerable investment primarily.

So kill the crew then detonate and that will 1 hit? I am sure I've dont that before and it hasnt killed the weapon.

the long and short is you are wrong.

TLDR

Fussies don't have a 0.8target size nor access to weapon racks and are ALSO a doctrinal option locking out other abilities/units.
5 man grens are also not a problem because they lock out other options
Even the slightly over performing 7man cons lock their only weapon slot
AND all the above options are a per squad bases, not global and also only effect the unit that 1 off upgrade is applied to, not every single stock squad thereafter.

Not but they have fausts, flares and nades along with additional man and G43's for... No additional cost but muni, they dont pay fuel or man power, just muni. It's not really sensible to argue about them being doctrinal to OKW when they are in the most used commander and at this point are pretty stock from the games I play.

5 men sappers still get ruined by everything as they are far too squishy without anvil and thats another upgrade but locks out the comet which is superior to the churchill this patch.

Why do people give excuses about things being doctrinal and therfore are allowed a pass when saying that one thing is OP because and the other thing isnt because? This, isn't fine *ahem*:

Whoda though that a one time upgrade that grants 25%more dps, health and targets as well as slows dps fall off ontop of also being able to throw double weapon upgrades om em would been so problematic to fond the right balance? Nobody. Literally NOBODY it seems....

But this is?:

You either think adding an additional man in broken or dont, pick one.
