American/UK units in soviet maps? NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Soviets in Bulge maps? NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Soviets + Western Allies playing together? NOTHING TO SEE HERE

CHURCHILL with a 17 pounder? OMG KILL RELIC NOW

I do agree that there is a massive overreaction here to the BP. I do recall it being requested by a friend and others back when we were still getting new UKF Commander sales

They need to lose a lot of HQ trucks to bad positioning before they understand placement better.

That said, HQ trucks too far back are no good either. And you can choke an opponent to death before arty becomes a real issue with aggressive enough play. Some maps are just too huge to not have fwd HQs without very long return times. Looking at you General Axis/Allies.

In regards to changes to Kubel, what if:

-Vet 0 Stealth detection mode: -25% speed +20 camouflaged detection +10 sight (current is -50% speed, +20 camo and minimap up to 70 range)
-Vet 1 20s 15 muni for 70 range minimap info
-After a truck is deployed, the unit self repairs when in allied territory, not having received nor moved after X amount of time. Doesn't remove snares criticals on it's own.
-Remove self repair at vet 3 and passive suppression/RA at vet 5.
-Move vet4 offensive bonuses to vet 3
-Vet 4 give it some small armor like +1
-Vet 5 give it a similar ability to suppress like the 250 HT. Reduces speed by 95% (so it can rotate but not cheese move around) and size by X and gives a small amount of suppression. Give it a munition cost if necessary.

Addressing this hypothetically, as I'm not sure that the balance team have the time for such an overhaul of an off-meta unit:

Is the repair, after truck deployment, locked behind vet 1, 2 or baseline? Wasn't sure from the way it was structured into your list. It is an innovative approach and might encourage more dangerous capping to get that repair.

Certainly the vet 0 appears to be a very interesting replacement. There is an issue though that it now self-spots for AT (60 range) and acts as a very cheap spotter for JT. IR HT sees out to 85 but it must redeploy each movement at the first sign of trouble. I think ppl would also complain that they're being bombed to pieces and spotted by a unit that can just reverse a little and is just out of range of AT guns. Not sure how to balance it.

How much do people use the timed minimap scanner abilities anyway? The cost is cheap which makes it more palatable, though I do wonder what people feel towards such abilities overall.

I have no idea why the current offensive bonuses are in such a steep level, the unit hardly ever reaches vet III, much less mowing down ppl even at vet IV. Sounds good.

Armour seems fine.

Vet V's current suppression is rather low. I cannot extract the data values as we lost COH2db but I recall it being much lower than an MG. Field testing had two+ full bursts required to suppress a squad and often ignored in light cover. It will suppress but slowly. A more effective suppression could work and the current vet V 10 model size might make it viable. Buuuut vet V is an incredible achievement in itself for this unit. Not sure how to go about balancing that personally.

Ahhh so he does get the matchmaker working for him then? Saltpanther no more xD

It dies in one shot and an inf unit sneezing at it. Becomes a liability extremely quickly and exchanges one squad for its presence. If it gets into trouble, with its reduced speed with the mode active it's extremely unlikely to be seen again. Eg: A snare off or tank/LV. Sure the ability is a toggle but that's crucial time you don't really have. And you will not get another vet 1 kubel unless your opponent is hopeless.
