Good patch, the pink rifle guns actually make USF less scary

Not a fan of the timer option. That kills some strategic play, denying garrisons to the enemy at key moments.
Plus twenty seconds is so long that you would be in middle of other things and you'd eventually check your newly spawned squad and find them all as bags of skin, wriggling around in the dirt, squirming for their last breath with which to utter "why me?"

I think the better options are a cooldown on grenades, like jaegers have with infiltration nades, and/or they spawn with vanilla weapons and require upgrades, but adjust base price to compensate for the weapons upgrades as they are in decent place cost wise, particularly now you can't check status of a garrison through fog of war anymore.

Anyone remembers the vCoH fallschirmjaegers?
- Kar98k at start which can be upgraded to FG42
- a grenade which was meant to clear out buildings only

It was the dream

Wait, 4 NEW 2V2 MAPS??

BEST UPDATE IN A WHILE!

That's a good option. Partisans will require a cost recalibration regardless (they are definitely NOT worth 35MP per model); it's the dirt-cheap MP price that makes them an overkill.

Other alternatives are:
- Give a delay between issuing the infiltration command, and the squad actually spawning (say 20 seconds)
- Make the squad spawn with crap weapons, and they regain their default weapons after a delay has elapsed

I had this idea with delayed spawn also, but what if an enemy squad goes into the Building during these 20 sec? ^^

I dont wanna say that infiltration squads are OP (because I think most of them aren't) in this thread BUT they are cheesy.

Why?

- if you spawn them in the retreat path of almost dead squads or snipers, it is a guaranteed wipe most of the time.. you often can't do anything about it

--> this makes especially sniper game-play often very frustrating

- same for weapon crews: guaranteed wipe thanks to insta-ready grenades

- special problem with AT Partisans : stealth on top of snares, shreck and AT grenade for 270 mp.. wtf is this pudding?


My Balance suggestions:

- Infiltration inf can only be spawned in Buildings in your own territory

- the moment they spawn, all grenades have a cooldown of 20 sec before they can be used (for the first time!)

- MP cost reductions: - Falls/commandos : 440 to 380
- Partisans: 210 to 180
- AT Partisans: 270 to 240
- Stormtroopers: 340 to 300
- Jaeger Light Inf: 300 to 280


And pls dont tell me that you can counter them with mined doors or flamers... some factions can't (USF usually doesnt have flamer nor mines; Wehrmacht has bad mines for this job; you need heavy flamers cos it takes hours with normal inf flamers from pio --> also not possible for every faction)


Pls give me some critcal feedback if you want.. Are these ideas good or complete rubbish because Infiltration inf gets over-nerfed or isnt too strong atm?
