RIP Guards, Stug-e, and stuart. These units deserved nerfs but perhaps not this much. Some of the manpower increases are ridiculous especially since these units will perform significantly worse, therefore reducing their cost effectiveness hugely. Will not be surprised if players just avoid these units all together.

Puma mg nerf, umm the mg is already pretty shit vs inf why remove the capability all together? Also the piat homing missiles WHAT?, this is really dumb. Buff piats fine, but this is gonna look funny watching a piat tracking down a vehicle.

Otherwise GREAT changes hope most go through.

If you only directly compare starting weapons and weapon slots, of course it ain't gonna make no sense. PzGrens for have their two weapon slots because they are a transitional unit. They are supposed to fix the mess that is Ostheer's early infantry fuckery, while providing the necessary mobile AT support that prevents T-70s from going wild later on. Now, this of course doesn't work so well, because Soviets no longer work like they did in 2013 and some other factions have entered the field...


And if you compare anything with double-BAR upgrades, you should take into account that the BAR was supposed to be the ammo drain USF didn't have otherwise. One BAR was significantly worse than the lMG 42 Grens could get, so you needed two on a single unit to have a comparable increase in damage output. That idea went belly-up when the BAR was buffed beyond imagination without increasing the cost, which is why multiple Riflemen squads with two BARs are even possible in the first place. It's a similar problem to the short-lived Tank Hunter spam Soviets saw when the PTRS was buffed - the difference being that this was fixed, while the BAR-thing is obviously totally okay.

Im not talking about bars I said 1919s and brens...

Played against him recently, destroyed his emplacement spam and then he accuses me and my teammate of map hacking... good times

After this post i'd be suprised if he still does it at all.
I know if i were a dev and players start attacking me about looking into a situation on work hours i'd be like you know what. no.

Then i'd hold you high and might be like look guys this asshat decided to open his mouth and be a jerk and this is why i refuse to do you service.


Its what i do at my current job.

I was joking.. don't take it too seriously. Also at this point the devs weren't taking a lot of shit because they still had some integrity.

People aren't mentioning the huge implications that reductions or removals of received accuracy would have on the game.

Firstly Weapon upgrades would become even more stronger than they currently are, and gaining access to them would provide a huge power spike. In other words anything carrying an lmg will shred even more than they currently do as close ranged infantry will take too much damage before they are able to close in.

Support weapons will be indirectly buffed since these units will do more damage to infantry and reductions in RA won't matter for their squad since they usually don't have them in their veterancy anyway. You wanna see maxim spam become a problem again?

Close/mid ranged units like ppsh cons, rangers, ass grens, sturms, bar rifles etc will be hurt badly by a received accuracy nerf. These units need to close the distance to be able to deal significant damage but if you lose half of your squad members before you can get into range then whats the point? Received accuracy bonuses are what allows these units to cross ground under fire and still remain relatively useful in the late game where lmgs dominate.
