Right, because demos are abused so hard right now.

Sounds like you dont have an issue with the m20 vet 3 mine laying speed change, you have an issue with the mines themselves. This is a different topic entirely, and one that this patch doesn't seek to address (as far as im aware, anyway; this mod already covered more topics than I think we wanted it to...).

And yes. Some people are telling you to buy a sweeper. Those also happen to be entirely different people who have different opinions than those people complaining about OHK mines. Either youre assuming everyone who responds to you should be grouped into a singular entity and shouldnt have their own separate opinions, or youre trying to illustrate how divisive a topic this is.

Demos were used in GCS2 on buildings for free wipes = abused. No wipe should be brain dead, otherwise skill wouldn't matter. It would just be who could abuse the most braindead crap instead actual skill in games.

But your assumption of me disliking immobilize is correct. As I've said many times already, it's very punishing. However they won't remove it from the game, just like abandon, just like main gun crit and many other terrible mechanics. Instead I intend to stop the spread of these terrible mechanics by buffs such as this.

What this patch entails is completely up for whatever relic and the unbalanced cornerstone table decides it seems. First it was commanders, then we threw in royal engineer snares (deserved), then we saw the brummbar and t70 nerfs (deserved) and now we have USF getting a tech structure rework (deserved). Tomorrow it'll be nerfs to the demo and goliath.

I actually went back to the OHK thread and looked for a certain person, funnily he/she hadn't posted about it. They all tend to blur together occasionally because they all spout the same stuff most of the time. Unfortunatly for me though this time was not it.

Smoke is nice but I'd rather just blow up the mg or whatever (which the pack howie does pretty reliably). RE/officer smoke is also generally more reliable and quicker, if shorter ranged. Don't get me wrong, it has its uses, but usually I'd still rather have a pack howie than a glorified smoke dispenser.

Once you're done with BARs. If you build 3 rifles, that's 360 for 6 BARs, and if you put them on your LT or CPT, then it's 480. If you get double zooks on a squad (presumably your REs) that's 580. Even for just single BARs for each squad that still comes out to 340, but realistically you eventually need double BARs.

I understand and I agree 100% as far as pack howie vs mortar goes, and I'm sad that if I do want to get a pack howie i'll have to buy full CPT and still get LT for the HMG.

I don't expect people to forego BARs just for the M6 AT mine, but you can very much sacrifice a single BAR for a potential game changing mine. 1x BAR though will not be a game changer in itself. The power of the AT mine remains. Furthermore zooks will see a reduction in usage because of how accessible the AT gun will be.

There's literally no reason to build a usf mortar instead of a pack howie. The pack howie is just better at everything.

The limiting factor for m20 mines is usually muni, not time. Have fun getting beat with no BARs by cheaper infantry if you spam a ton of m20 mines. M20 stil gets forced off by 1 atg shot (still dies in 2 hits right?) just like a flaktrack would, and has less raw dps than a flaktrack, so I don't really see the problem. It barely has more health than the kubel lmao.

Once you're done with BARs and upgrades etc you float munis just like every other faction. I also don't expect players to be planting early M6 AT mines, but if the M20 survives to lategame those mines are devastating. Everything that was said here could be all be applied to the OST HT riegel. Both of them should get this buff or neither.

M20 feels like it vets really fast, there isn't a whole lot of counter play from OKW BG for it either, unless you want to force cloaked clump rak creep which is just awful to play against.

Vet 3 mine laying speed is WAY too fast for a mine that immobilizes. Probably shouldn't add additional mine laying speed for that unit. Immobilize is very punishing and doesn't need to be spammed left right and center if someone keeps an M20 alive.

More likely:
Never use
Bitch they are too expensive because Axis actually have things to spend munitions on unlike Soviet...

Was used in GCS2 -> Never used.

ok

PogChamp BARfinders are back! Gonna open with airborne now!!!

I'm actually so blinded by happiness that airborne might be good and flexible enough to run paths and paras that I'm not even considering potential balance going out the window with min 0 paths.

EDIT: Ok now that I had 60 seconds of happiness that I could potentially use paratroopers, do you see a problem with giving USF 20 starting fuel? Here's some examples of fuel costs between USF and OKW, the WFA.

OKW starts with 5F, USF starts with 20 (in mod).

So OKW starts 15F back, which is the same fuel price as weapon racks, meaning that weapon racks are basically free if you take out build time and do some manpower calcs which I'm not doing right here. However, weapon racks, specifically BARs outscale StGs primarily because of 2x equip.

You see where I'm going here? If weapon racks is basically free, the upside of StGs on volks is they can be purchased anywhere, vs actually scaling in lategame.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather have lategame scaling over buying anywhere....
