Unless the notes were changed, we reduced the value for 10% for the final version.
Says 25% in the offical changelog. Good to know that it's 10% as intended though. |
British medic doesn't always heal wounded in base. |
"Counter barrage" is missing entirely. It should be on the OST mortar, the OST panzerwerfer, and both OST and OKW LeFH 105 howitzers. |

Agreed but you can't just ask for a HMG to be effective vs what supposed to counter their effectiveness. Now yeah some other HMGs are more effective that others in that matter, they also are worst in others areas, or more expensive...
I do agree, which is why it would be my hope that other HMGs would also receive things, specifically the vickers and maybe the maxim if possible to not break the meta. |
Howitzers might be cancerous, but an equal or higher pop requirement compared to the Calliope, Priest and Sexton (15, 15, 14 respectively) is hard to justify for a unit that's quite easily countered with the right doctrine.
I think that's valid, but they're also like 1/3 the cost so... in fuel at least. |

Then use your Luch / Puma to wreck the cover?
I mean we can go back and fourth all day with counters etc but ingame is never vaccum scenario. |
ATGs are too vulnerable in 3v3s and 4v4s late game because of an abundance of rocket and howitzer artillery. Bazookas barely scratch the paint of Panthers and heavies (except doctrinal Rangers). These are not reliable options to fight the heavier Axis armor, some of which are stock.
So we're buffing howitzers why exactly then???? |

If you want to make a squad move out of cover, use the ISG. You're trying to peel potatoes with a fork here.
That's potentially locked behind a 40F tech wall. Soviet players complain about backteching T2 for 20F. This faction design is fantastic |

Have you ever tested a max range Vickers vs a squad at max range in green cover? You'll be waiting a long time.
Sure you can make the argument other MGs do extra DPS, retreating through a Vickers at close to mid range is painful. But Vickers DPS vs green cover is pitiful.
That's the role of building green cover. But the 34 has a nifty ability to destroy sandbags and light vehicles
Pitiful is still apparently better than any other HMG. I don't expect it to rival vet 5 obers with an LMG34, but it doesn't take 5+ minutes to make a squad move like the HMG34. |
