Real fix for Faust:

Replace the engine-damage task with an animation/blueprint which works.

a. use the rifle-grenade animation

b. give geballte-Ladung some anti-tank options, so it can make engine-damage and some damage e.g. also some freeze like a weaker form of satchel_charge.

c. simply use soviets AT-grenade | new icon and rename it "Wurfmine"

....

Also Faust can get a different kind of ability, working like rifle-grenade, making it something like gammon-bomb, but only versus vehicles. Animations are really good.

....

We can also mix the abilities to different units or mix everything:

- Grenadiers get "Wurfmine" working like soviets nade. -> Overworked Faust can become an upgrade, working like Grens rifle-nade but with anti-tank stats.

- Osttruppen only get overworked Faust, improves their bad design.

- Panzergrenadiers get overworked geballte-Ladung. -> ~ weaker satchel_charge


.....................

etc.




To be clear, we could also overwork how soviets nades works. e.g. remove it form Cons, but add an anti-tank molotov ability, slow down targets and make engine damage if target has ~70% hp left.

So we can replace Penal's anti-tank satchel_charge and combos would work better, cons freeze target, penals can use the satchel_charge. As side-tech at-nade could can be still aviable.

That would be more logical.

That wouldn't change balance much.

Its DPS is simply out of control. Changing it to be more like StuG E stats

I would also like to see leIG18 be more like StuG E


... ^^ for PaK-Howitzer it would be a nerf, for leIG18 maybe a buff xD

The ISU issue comes down to only one problem: It hardcounters Paks.

The only effective way to deal with it is tanks.

And here is where the Allied 60 range td meta comes in.

One big balancing problem the game has since years... and will not be fixed, it seems.

The only thing I want to see for emplacements is a smaller path-blocking potential. Same for trenches and german bunkers.

I would also like to see them get some AT-role with Panzerbüchse as upgrade etc.

We can also split the unit into two when upgraded. Give them a new icon (like Grens 5th men) and lock some abilities.

1. let Pios start/spawn with 2 Luger and 2 K98k (Volks version).
-> Vet2 changes Luger with MP40 assault-gren stats
2. upgrade options:
-> Flamer
-> Mine-sweeper (stackable with Panzerpioneer-convert)
*** -> Unit-convert to Panzerpioneers
45mun Panzerbüchse 2*Panzerbüchse (clone of Boys Anti-tank Rifle)
removes option to build base-buildings, sandbags, wire and doc. structures like 88s.
adds quick repair (fast enginee repair)

adds "Granatbüchsen 39 Schießbecher" ability. Effect like StuG G weak-point (or some vehicle freeze).


Edit:
Give some balanced options verus vehicle-play.
Gives some abilities to improve tactical weak-points.
