Profile of Latch

If you have played Vs at least 2 leigs you will know the frustration of its range and accuracy. Play brits and nothing you have can outrange, match the range or even get close to, it making it, in that matchup, overpowered.

"Just chatting pish" I hear you cry, well, that's your opinion but hear me out. If you play Brits and use the OP cancer regiment (advanced emplacement), switch on counter barrage and that will fire on LEIGs every time they shoot. Now, play the game as you would and see just how different the game becomes with emplacements actually being useful against OKW and not free EXP for LEIGs.

"But that would make emplacements OP!" It would make them harder to take down, yeah, effort would be required (shock horror) but with a variety of grenades, AT units/weapons and artillery it's not any harder than it is for OST.

I had an epic losing streak as brits, I just couldn't beat OKW, dropped for top 100 to 300+ now I simply use cancer regiment just for the counter barrage and the game feels decent again, my bofors can defend a point properly and my mortars can protect my units without, as I said, them just being free EXP.

Don't get me wrong I know that each unit needs a counter but each of the counter units should also, have a counter. A LEIG next to the Panzer HQ takes real effort to take down with no hard counter other than a lot of planning and tactics.

Don't forget Brits have no other indirect fire other than the mortar pit (LM if you have the commander of course), it's immobile, sure, it has more HP than most mortars and doesn't cause bleed, but it can't be moved!

TL/DR
In short LEIG needs a range decrease to bring it in line with mortars, do what you want to the mortar pit, reduce its damage, increase its scatter, increase its load time, same for bofors, but please, for my health, fix the LEIGs range.

Obviously people will disagree with me here but at least, please, put up a proper argument if that's the case

I'm not to sure what you mean here but I do know that shift ordering teamwapons (MG's) to cap points and then que another cap or move order, they will reach the cap order and ignore it, moving onto the next order in the que.

These are just a few observations I have had with the game recently that I feel are too frustrating to be an acceptable 'feature' of the game. But hey, that's just me

1: Reloading
Units don't reload when out of combat, resulting in weapons not firing, Ostwinds not firing etc.

Solution: After X seconds out of combat (The same as healing) have the squad reload automatically.

2: Off-Maps
Only 'Some' off-maps able to be called into bases, this includes your own base (if you ever needed to).

Solution: Allow the use of your own off-maps inside your own base sector but remove ALL strikes inside enemy bases.

3: OKW Base guns
These shoot down/damage aircraft, can be decrewed, have no blind spot other than shot blockers and penetrate all vehicle types.

Solution: Give OKW bunkers (The same applies for the fortification doctrine as the flak emplacements are awful) similar to every other faction.

Side note: I understand the 'need' for this when OKW had a resource penalty, however, with the change to this it simply results in imbalance where OKW can base rush you/chase down units into your base with Luchs/Puma, you try to do that with a Stuart, T-70 or AEC and, well... Good luck getting out in one piece.

4: Unit Weapon Icons
An odd one but bare with me; Take for example Sappers, these can be equipped with Brens, Piats, Vickers, flamers and mine detectors (Not all at the same time unfortunately ). The game does a good job for the most part showing what squad has what weapon, but equip the sappers with 2 Piats and then give them a mine detector (I don't think the order matters) and all that is indicated is a mine sweeper squad. This can be misleading to the enemy but also results in you having to zoom in to check what weapon you gave the squad

Solution: I can't really give a decent solution to this as I'm not sure what would work best, however, either giving more information when the player clicks on a squad, or, and probably less desirable... Display each of the weapons equipped under the squads badge.

Keep OKW at early but fill the circle all the way to late and put a little flower in the middle for them.

Can be dropped inside the base area, UKF version however... Cannot. Watch the replay, it's just laughable.
