Profile of Mr.Smith

When do people play this? I play occasionally in the evening Pacific time and haven't seen anyone playing this. I tried a couple comp-stomps and it seems better than the live version but would like to play real games on it.

Your best bet is coordinating with friends near your skill level to arrange a match to play with/against. Alternatively, you can ask around the shoutbox/Discord channel to see if somebody is interested. Just make sure that the guys that want to play have actually read and understood the changelog; otherwise it's a waste of everyone's time.

I used to have daily matches with the Revamp mod (europe) until FBP got postponed.

What spreadsheet?

I don't find something inherently wrong about MU-heavy doctrines. It's the way that most muni-heavy doctrines are implemented that give muni-heavy design a bad name.

It's fine if you have 4 MU-only abilities, as long as your non-muni ability is reliable and cost efficient, and as long as you are getting 4 decent-to-great muni-heavy abilities which you have to choose how to burn.


With some modifications, this would work amazingly for the Commando doctrine, had it not been:
- For the rip-off 500MP-per glider on a 4-minute cooldown (I'm not joking)
- Smoke raid that only works for commando squads (which are ultra expensive)
- Assault that only works for Tommies

With a decent glider, and smoke raid/assault working for all squads, that would have been an amazing doctrine that gives you a hell lot of versatility. Then, what the player needs to do is control their munitions expenditure so that it doesn't become a bottleneck.

NKVD is a doctrine that simply won't work with its munitions abilities, because every single one of them ranges from meh to below-par (Rapid conscription simply has no chance of working with non-ppsh conscripts; sorry). Each of these abilities is a medium-range ability in stronger doctrines.

If you remade NKVD with something as follows, it might, someday start feeling like an interesting doctrine:
- Commisar squad (like the OKW officer)
- Rapid conscription that gives pre-nerf Penal flamer squads
- IL-2 bombing strike
- Propaganda artillery?
- Radio Intercept

TL;DR: Muni-heavy doctrines are perfectly fine, as long as they give access to premium (ideally unique) MU abilities, and as long as their (few) non-muni abilities don't outright suck (so that you still have a doctrine).

There's no visible difference between the two firefly upgrades and any other upgrades, I've also looked at the sbps and ebps files of the firefly vs a variety of other types and nothing seems to stick out as an obvious reason as to why they would be able to be researched together.

You need to really check again. However, the two upgrades might have a different owner. Tank commander upgrade has owner self, whereas the tulip one has "owner: entity within squad".

Also check whether the two upgrades are in ebps or sbps. That might also have a difference you can exploit.

In the wikinger mod, the rifle grenade upgrade (Riflemen) seems to be on a different queue from the reinforcement queue too.

Many thanks. I'll try it out soon!
