The playercard argument should not be used at all from anyone (it creates hostility, turn a balance debate into personal issue and as you say even a bad player can solve (or identify) a problem).

Since nearly all units can be countered but all units are not balanced, an argument that there is a counter to something so it does not need balance changes hold little water...

In this example countering 280 mp 30FU emplacement with 2 volks 2 shrecks 2 puppen (1040 mp 180 MU) is not much of argument either because the same proposed counter accomplice very little if it was support with lest say an HMG...

That's why USF has the option to spam ATGs (too bad they are next to useless) with zooks (Captain + Zooks) and at-snares. Drop 1-2 M36 or M10s into the mix and you'll see axis armor melting before they can kill the calliopes (which takes 4 shot).

After such AT, no sane axis player dares to raid behind enemy lines.

Hello.

I do not see the problem with blobbing nor the fear generated. Someone complaining about a blob surely never saw an explosion in this game. I was part of an interesting thread earlier that involve offensive language so i wont drop a "L2P", but still....

Back to the OP, i voted NO. i see the problem prople are pointing with FRP but they tend to forget what it costs and what it involves.

Usually it cost a squad or two, just to be able to retreat less far. It is an impressive cost. i know what i can do with an extra volk squad.
It can also be easily destroyed with the exception of the meditruck for obvious reasons.
It is a mousetrap, thoses FRP are easily targeted by Offmap strike rsulting in even more deaths.
They promote teamplay which is something that doesnt hurt in this game.

The Noob-mass-retreat is not an issue as you spend a whole squad to be able to do this, it compensate for your lesser force.

Creating urban defenses is Cool™.

Kozo.

Which is synonymous for 'I have no arguments anymore' just like saying 'X is free' is synonymous for saying either 'I have no clue about this game' or 'I don't like this faction and will take every opportunity to pull it into the dirt'

Counter play of doing suicide all-ins into at gun walls and mines? We already had it with ISU.



Yet you propose exactly that with -50% damage from rockets on retreat.



BS. Infantry dies to mines on retreat paths, it dies to demos, it dies to light vehicles and overextension, it dies to flanks, grenades and RNG mortar shells, it dies to tanks, it just dies. Everybody loses their squad in a course of games, and vetted and double upgraded squads should be a factor in late game, not something which would be erased in one barrage.



You wish calliope was only good against infantry. It good against everything short of tanks and wipes OKW trucks in 2 barrages on med range, exactly what kat where doing when relic decided to overbuff it beyond any considerable reason. And together with werfer it wipes blobs and single squads alike, causing tremendous amounts of bleed by very little effort.

You must make counters work by using them right, which is not the case with werfer and calliope.
