Profile of MMX

i think everyone will agree that infiltration units in particular were hit hard by the adjustments made to reduce the 'cheesiness' of easy retreat wipes or vehicle kills. this, just to name one example, is very obvious for the soviet AT-partisans which used to be a reliable anti-vehicle panic button when they still had their snare available upon spawning. with that gone (probably for the better gameplay-wise) they now seem largely obsolete since outside those surprise snare/finish scenarios they don't offer much for their cost anymore.

i'd say ideas such as the spawning delay floated by roastinghost would surely help to make these ambush setups, and hence infiltration units more viable again, but at the same time feel less frustrating to play against as more planning would be required to pull them off.

another thing that could give the special spawning mechanics of these units more relevance would be to increase the availability of on-map reinforcement to some extent. currently this is only available for paradropped squads, and here also only under very limited circumstances, i.e. a nearby beacon for US paratroopers or activated airborne assault for OKW falls. a greater reinforce radius for the beacon and a prolonged duration of the on-field reinforcement effect for airborne assault (after the attack planes already vanished) might be an idea to achieve this and render their peculiar spawning mechanics a bit more meaningful. maybe something similar could even be implemented for infiltration squads, like partisans being able to reinforce from ambient buildings whenever spy network is active.

Considering whatever anti-cheat relic uses is entirely serverside that would be impressive considering it can only see the information that you're sending to the server as you're playing the game. Incredibly low odds of non-game related false positives given the circumstances.

The most likely scenario here is that Relic hadn't touched their anti-cheat in months/years so whatever anti-cheat exploits existed were abused by cheat makers for the longest time until someone over at Relic finally woke up and did some research resulting in a massive anti-cheat patchwork session that nailed all the existing cheats in one big swoop, including Seeking. This instance of him cheating may even have been the catalyst for Relic to step forward and update their anti-cheat. (Though given we'd gotten a new community manager it might have been on the docket for a while beforehand and this cheating scandal just happened to coincide with plans to upgrade the anti-cheat.)

well whatever anti-cheat measures relic has at their disposal, it's reassuring to know that these - apparently - extend well beyond the visual analysis of suspicious replays the community is limited to, which in itself will always yield circumstantial evidence at best. let's just hope they keep stepping up their game against any future exploits and have the banhammer ready to strike whenever it's due.

Main point here that four entities is low count for parachutist and should be increased. One could even give luft 2 different types of Falls an infatry(or infiltration) version and airdropped one

not sure what this has to do with the possibility of porting units from OKW over to Ostheer, but for what it's worth i've never had any problems parachuting my 4-men falls into the battlefield, nor do i think a higher model count would improve anything with respect to deployment. if you apply common sense when using any of the airdrop abilities, i.e. stay away from hedges, trees and especially enemy unit concentrations, they'll mostly land just fine in my experience. in fact, i'd wager a larger squad size might even increase the odds of one or two models ending up entangled in a tree since USF paras, for example, appear to be spread out over a much larger area upon landing.

The river system has the right to be in the game. Many do not realize but forcing rivers was a huge part and problem in WW2. What can we say, the Allies organized three airborne operations to preserve bridges or cross the river (partly Overlord operation, Market Garden, Varsity). On the Eastern Front, there was one airborne operation to cross the river - the Dnieper airborne operation and one canceled - an airborne operation to cross the Danube. There may be more valuable resources or a better position across the river.

while that may all be true, historical significance doesn't automatically translate into good gameplay elements. for example, there are already a couple of maps with an overabundance of choke points in the form of bridges in the game, and i guess you'd agree those are not exactly fun to play on (outside of compstomps maybe).

Imo it would better if parachutes fallschirmjägers become available to Ostheer instead of OKW.

well if that doesn't raise any red flags due to swapping units from one faction to another, i'd say fallschirmjägers could be quite a good fit for either of the two luftwaffe-themed ostheer commanders, at least thematically. still, at the same time i can't see any good reason why OKW should not have them or why they should lose their parachutes and spawn from houses instead.
