Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog20 Nov 2018, 23:51 PM Recon Support should still work fine, its airdrop is very cost efficient. It already has the treatment Airborne just got. In: Lobby

Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog20 Nov 2018, 11:00 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2018, 01:49 AMOutsider_Sidaroth Recon Support is still atractive due to it being a bundle, as well as having access to Pathfinders with artillery and the Greyhound, Airborne on the other hand will now be seen only for P47s just in case you face a Heavy Tank Destroyer in 2vs2. I think Jae's right on Airborne: the airdrops are less attractive albeit not useless. They still accelerate your fuel a little, and they're a good way to get: » Pathfinder crewed team weapons that can self-spot » Airborne crewed team weapons that can reinforce from relays (VERY useful on AT guns) Secondly, it makes Pathfinders and Airborne themselves more attractive as you're not forced to spam Rifles.

However, I think going LT+CPT is too attractive a choice. My recommendation is to only give the first one researched their free officer. In return, the other tier is researched in 45 seconds instead of 90. Crank up the manpower cost, reduce the cost of Major in turn. That keeps Major teching paths with the same timings, but makes LT+CPT more expensive. In: Lobby
Thread: Two approaches for faction design19 Nov 2018, 17:15 PM I think your changes would make the game worse: it'd make HMGs in garrisons insanely powerful. The T0 mortar and Incendiary Grenades were added specifically because the EFA factions could dominate the WFA factions like that. Garrison Hells like old Angoville, Arnhem Checkpoint and Semoisky are very unpopular maps. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch19 Nov 2018, 17:02 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2018, 15:08 PMOutsider_Sidaroth Mechanized Arty is one of the best original abilities of the Commander, it was added to the truck so it wasn't lost in time, it should stay. Bulldozer upgrade is a good thing too, since it allows you to pay some munitions to beef up a Sherman while also giving more utility, making a pseudo bulldozer with it's HE shells. Mechanized is full of stuff because it feels like it's mean to be an early pick, with enough options to adapt to the enemy as the battle goes on, you know? Mechanized Arty was kept for the sake of it, I personally think it should be removed from the WC-51 and added to the all-new commander as a proper off-map again. Bulldozer's useful but confusing. If it stays, the 105mm Sherman Bulldozer needs its own icon. In: Lobby
Thread: Two approaches for faction design19 Nov 2018, 14:27 PM The Sherman Bulldozer is and always has been a turreted Brummbar. The patch simply made it good at its job. Stormtroopers were redesigned to be Commandolike because short-range ambush infantry's the only thing Ostheer doesn't have. Everything else but stealth is redundant with a non-doctrinal unit, and stealth for all Ostheer infantry is available doctrinally. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch19 Nov 2018, 13:57 PM I think the new commanders are in a pretty good state now, although I still worry that Mechanized is a bit overloaded. The artillery strike on the WC51 just feels out of place. I think it should be replaced with a passive declaring its new ability to capture territory. Mark target, territory capture and Combined Arms synergy give you plenty of reason to deploy them at all stages of the game: there's no need for this incongruous off-map. Secondly, I think the Bulldozer upgrade on the regular Sherman should go too. The commander as is has loads of stuff in it now, and the Dozer Upgrade is visually confusing with the Armor Company one: all that distinguishes them is a slightly fatter barrel. The new M4C is good enough for an ability slot by itself. Finally, I think if the first chunk of Overwatch is being bundled together, Forward Receivers should go. I'd suggest ditching the flares too if they weren't an important indicator that Goliaths have been selected. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog19 Nov 2018, 13:40 PM What makes it even less logical is the fact that it can become available by a simply MU upgrade of the normal Sherman. Someone's clearly never actually used that upgrade. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog19 Nov 2018, 13:05 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2018, 12:37 PMVipper That bug was fixed in by "July 28th Hotfix". By march 28th it was finally realized that a wer clone mortar for USF was OP and it was redesigned with 65 range. OKW incendiary grenades where introduced as answer a the specific tactic of maxim spam. From the patch notes, Volksgrenadiers We wanted to give OKW a soft building counter options. This should help OKW deal against garrisoned enemies. (Need an icon) Grenade replaced with incendiary grenade In: Lobby
