What is this, a chinese tourney where only a bunch of nobodies signed in? PogChamp

I remember the 1st time I played vs OKW, I didn´t know shit about the game so I see that FRP truck and then go to decap the area where it was sitting thinking it would disable the reinforce function... How newbe I was...

Disabling reinforcement while in combat is an interesting idea but also means the end of Oshteer half-track play. Why would you build a half-track? while would you build a command bunker as Ostheer? unless other faction Ostheer only have 4men squads, you can't really soft retreat that much to your safe point.

If you manage to close the distance to the USF ambulance, the unit should already be your first target thus disabling reinforcement. So your solution isn´t relevant for the USF.
In some extend all half-track and bunker, the solution is quite simple, those units are squishy and disappear in a matter of seconds if you focus them.

The biggest offenders are the OKW and Soviet FRP. those two are simply too durable.

1- By applying your solution you´ll considerably buff USF since you already never put your ambulance on the front line. The ambulance is mobile, can be repositioned on a safe location and the major just help with the rally point, so no need to soft retreat.

2- The problem isn´t FRP but their durability. there is a huge different between a Soviet FRP on concret building and a Soviet FRP on a wood one...
A way to nerf them is simply to disable their function if the territory they´re sitting on comes neutral. You could apply this logic to all bunker and half-track but here again Oshteer would be the biggest looser with its half-track specially design for this.


3- Another solution could be to x2 all reinforcement time if not from the HQ.

Nope, the "you cant reinforce if the territory is being de-capped" isnt enough for a nerf. The UKF FHQ already has that and still.. you can just build the FHQ near to the point and 100% make sure nobody will be able to de-cap.

What you said about USF is "kinda" true, but most ppl put their ambulance behind a shot- or sightblocker anyway if they use it on the front.

About 251 from Wehr: 90% of the ppl use this unit exclusively for the flamer upgrade

Hello there,

has been a few months alrdy since I posted in these forums, but I have some thoughts about FHQs since a long time alrdy which I did not really share so far, thus I would appreciate your feedback on it.

But first of all I wanna explain why FHQs in the current state are a "problem" imo. They tremendously increase the advantage of OKW, UKF and USF in both pushing and defensive actions, compared to Wehrmacht and SU.

While the pushing bonus imo is reasonable for these factions (since they are designed and commonly understood as "agressive" factions; additionally, the "forward retreat" upgrade is an extra mp investment and therefore doesn't need a nerf ), the advantage in puncto defending is over the top. Cos that often leads to situations like

- being unable to kill a support gun crew parked next to a FHQ (e. g. with sniper) or

- being unable to kill vetted OKW inf parking next to a FHQ with any of your own squads as another example

since they are able to cheaply reinforce faster than you are able to kill them. The power of FHQs wouldn't be a thing if it would just be a late game thing, but all 3 mentioned factions are able to to get them so damn early already.

This makes pushing especially in early to mid game often completely impossible if the enemy just digs in with sandbag spam etc. next to a FHQ, often leaving no other choice than indirect fire spam in order to destroy the FHQ asap...

So I came up with an idea ( just a thought), be honest what you think about it:

Every single infantry squad and support gun crew (from all 5 factions) is no longer able to reinforce through reinforce half-tracks, UKF FHQ, Soviet FHQ (from Soviet "Urban defense doctrine"), USF ambulance, OKW med truck and Wehrmacht reinforce bunker while in combat

This does not apply to any main HQ base structures (such as barracks) since this would make certain "base-diving" strats too powerful

Imo this would move FHQs in team games into a perfect spot without over-nerfing them, since they are a huge manpower investment.

I don't think that I am a "pro" or anything, tell me if you think my idea is straight garbage
