Given you're claiming to have enough trouble with the UC to warrant complaining about it I doubt that's a change you'd want to make.

The UC is currently set up as a manpower opportunity cost: you get it instead of an additional infantry section. It's an immediate tradeoff: you trade the capping power of that Infantry Section for mobile fire support.

If you shift that cost from manpower to fuel you turn the UC into an early game power spike: both the lower manpower cost on the UC and the delay to T1 means you'll probably be facing the UC and the additional infantry squad. It's a delayed tradeoff: you get a much stronger build early on but delay your teching.

I agree with Relic in that making the UC an immediate tradeoff is the better way to do it for UKF.

Not asking them not to get snared; it's the range of the faust combined with the fact that it seems to guarantee an engine crit. Also, I play at low resolution to ensure faster gameplay... as far as I can tell there's no animation that the faust is coming up, is this correct?

that doesn't make sense, top players still use cons as soviets against OKW,(I do watch pro replays) people talking about flame scout car as though its a cure all are living in a dream world, its useful but not for long, its also situational, not just something you pop out as it slows the penals build and will get fausted if used with flame, as its got to get in pretty close, decent for dislodging buildings, pretty short lived usefulness, lets stop pretending tht you can control OKW blobs with less more expensive infantry, Penals do work, but not with like for like skill, they will outnumber soviets and will get the 6 minute noddy tank, you cant have had flame and upgraded a penal squad by then unless you had decent map control, which you dont get by being outnumbered, by the way PPSH cons beat STG's grens.

As far as I know.


Target size is only used for accuracy checks that involves small arm fire and ballistic weapon.


Attack ground probably does not use accuracy checks at all since it the target is the ground.

The scatter modifier seem be lower but my vary from weapon to weapon.

I was wondering about OKW blob control, early game is ok-ish but then it just degrades to the point they are even killing my infantry in plain sight of my tank, even that is having very little effect on the ever growing blob, i have tried getting 4 or 5 maxims after a couple of engineers, con spam and mixed arms, but the blob just seems to get to critical mass and then walk through everything, T70's do ok at kiting but often the blob has a few racketen with it.. any pointers on build orders when facing this? stuff lie Katayusha seem to do ok at prompting a retreat, but it slows the units I need to face off the inevitable KT.
