Profile of Stark

i felt like a true mvp when i pulled it off lol xD. Until i realised i couldn't undo it

did it at least buff your resources income?

I agree, I would replace almost all Soviet infantry skins except summer conscripts, summer shock troops and summer snipers, Maxim and the Guns crew the rest are completely inaccurate.

Highly possible feature in future CoH3. In DoW3 you could reskin not only vehicules but also infantry models. Don't think they will abandone this mechanic, especially assuming that next game will be in Africa where there were multi-national armies.

Rocket arty need to be only non doctinal or coh3 will be another arty fest with idiots with four panzerwerfers or katiusha and balance should be more around 4vs4 especially fuel and muni income

Seperate balance and resources system across all gamemods is needed. There is too many differences between 1v1 and 4v4.

What i would also love to see:
1. Air battles, plane fights,
2. Rejoining the game. After you drop the match you can get back again (allow to kinda overcome errors like bugsplat in teamgames),
3. assualting the houses, building shouldn't be a closed space on the battlefield,
4. infantry can be transported by tanks,
5. add audio option to have separated national voiceline to each faction (wermaht has german voicelines, soviet has russian, brits with their own acent etc.),
6. removed friendly fire or at least highly reduced,
7. ability to repair houses and other neutral buildings,
8. customize commanders

Agreed, Rocket Barrage is too expensive atm. I also suggest to make it cheaper and earlier available. US Cluster Bombs are 90!!! mun cheaper but a lot more effective.

This ability has kinda diffrent role that cluster bombs. Best to use it vs ML-20, B4 or forward enemy HQ. This was the key ability synergized with flare in 2v2 when you played double OKW and enemy was spamming artillery (and yet less expective that 300 ammo zeroing artillery ability).

It has some usage but it's really situational.

M-42 and DShK in same commander is pointless, they are both are kinda bad anti-infantry weapons and bad anti-light vehicle weapons, having both in same doctrine is reduntant. Not even going to point out that currently even maxim is better than DShK as suppession/AI damage weapon

The fact that DShk mashine gun is currently weak doesn't mean it will be after the new commander patch.

It's funny when people complain that this or that commander concept is stupid becouse units inside are weak/useless. All abilities inside all 5 new incoming commanders will get ajusted, revamped, balanced. The fact this unit is in that commander allow balance team to change it proparely. Just keep that in mind.

I would like to discuss the commander Guards Airborne corp - there are a lot of slots that make minimal use:
- an ally supply drop is a useful ability, but I think it conflicts with the IL-2 because it spends ammunition.

Supply drop, weapon drop, medic drop, etc. you will use in mid game after let's say 4 CPs. IL-2 is available at least after 10 CPs. That;s a lot of time where you can spend your ammo so i don't see any problem here.

About Assault Grenadiers:
I think we have to discuss first the arrival time of the unit Before getting too specific into the different upgrade options.
I personally would prefer that the unit comes a little bit later (1CP) but is on the same level like Cavalry riflemen[/b.]

Stuff I've tossed around with Mp 40s in general for the artillery officer, Volks, and Assault Grenadiers are:

-Better on the move capabilities than other SMGs
-Bumping up only their mid-range DPS rather than short-range as currently Grease Guns blow them away so you can have somewhere to fight other SMGs to compensate for having the worst near DPS outside builder SMGs and Conscript PPsH.

On Assault Grenadiers themselves, there was one idea of a six man squad after BP 2/3 who might make them stronger like Veteran Squad Leaders from Infantry.

Other upgrades could just be raw stat boosts in the late game rather than weapon upgrades. I doubt their veterancy itself needs a massive rework as they would still get clubbed if you needed to bring new squads onto the field.

I also had the dumb idea of Bundle Grenade Assault .

Also no more StGs, we got enough of those.

Assault grenadiers are here as a replacement for a common strat of going heavy T1 with 3 grens, snipers etc. Bringing diffrent placestyle into the wermaht rouster. To make that core idea works they have to be 0 CP unit (but i guess start with cooldown).

I recently used Assault grens on 1v1 and 2v2 gamemode just to find out what they are mainly lack. It's not damage but survability they need the most. First couple of mins, when enemy presents on the field they are doing really well. It's a strong CQC infantry that well used can win many engagements but becouse of lack of the AT tools threatened by light vehicule rush (scout car, UC, m20). It's a reasonable risk which gives ally players option to beat it.

The biggest change comes mid-late game. When riflemen, Tommies, Penals or even Cons reach vet2-3 when they can fight vs Assualt grens easily. They can pick few models before there is going to be a close combat fight. Many players uses blobs where Assault grens just can't much. After upgrading riflemen and Tommies with Bar/Brens Assualt grens have no chance, they are outplayed with more consistant infantry units that can fight at long/mid range.

Another thing to point out is that calling Assault grens means diffrent build, diffrent strat. Becouse they have weak late game capabilities they eventually have to be replace but better infantry. Pgrens don't do well long range and grens even with lmg42 vet0 can't fight equally with vetted allied infantry. Infiltration grenades ability is quite good, especially after old patch that reduce their price, sprint helps a lot too. There is no need for STG44 upgrade.

To sum up: Assualt grens do fine early game, starts loosing momentum mid game and they are outplayed by main infantry mid/late game. Even though they do good damage they loose models really quickly.

Suggestion:
- As Miragefla said increase mid range DPS - similar direction to shock troop revamp. Allow unit to fight more static in a longer distance,
- add a squad leader model after BF2/BF3 which increase survability and thanks to extra soldier damage as well (maybe additionally a stun/smoke nade ability?)
- "Extra traing" ability which increase survability - no model added, just simple stat buffs - reduce reciving accuracy, etc.
- additional utility
