Ever thought about rebalancing and resizing Fallschirmjaeger squad like the Brotosh commandos?
They could come with mp40 with stats similar to stens and the fg42 be rebalanced to have a dps curve and cost similar to the Commando bren lmg |
I'm pretty sure you will be able to put away the sweeper only, the schreck stays, just like it works in the live version if your sweeper strums pick up a schreck.
Playing the Devil's advocate here but this risks being useless.
Who's gonna waste 300mp and 60muni just to have a good ai squad crippled by a single 100 damage panzershreck?
I'd rather see a dedicated squad recruitable from the HQ, hell even with german at rifles. |
Just a question, how would the Panzershreck upgrade thing work? Can you put it away and it swaps with the minesweeper, or you can put them both away for the 4 stg squad? |
Commander p4 needs to be fixed too while you are at it |
Does it actually exist? |
Cost of Panzerschreck upgrade from 70 munitions to 60 munitions
Panzerschreck upgrade no longer mutually exclusive with Minesweeper upgrade
I can't see Sturm ever being effective with panzershreck at all, especially if the global panzershreck changes affect them too
It would be much better if sturmshrecks were removed entirely, especially when Panzerfusiliers have them |
I'll repost an idea that I suggested for some USF commanders
Swapping the M7 Priest from the Infantry Company with the M2 flamethrower of the Rifle Company would both be thematically more consistent and better completement each doctrine
Rifle Company would get an indirect support fire unit instead of leaving the Priest in a doctrine with the mortar halftrack and ToT offmap
Infantry would benefit thematically from a combat upgrade for rear echelon that has no business with riflemen
As @UnitG17 pointed out, some other changes could be applied, like the m3 ht to rifle company.
The browning upgrade (NOT the one for paras of course) doesn't warrant a single slot any more than mp40 volks does. I would bundle it with the m2 flamethrower in the Infantry company and Tactical Support company, I can't see more fitting commanders, aside from Urban Assault which has already the urb ass kit
"~ In addition to the Flammpanzer 38t, StuG 3s can be build after upgrading panzer authorization"
God I hope not, Hetzer, Ostwind, Stug 3.. don't belong anywhere near full tech and should come with Obersoldaten. |
Since we are talking about sperimental changes and not a patch with a specific scope I would suggest looking into some doctrinal units to improve both underused doctrines and avoid overlapping units and abilities

OKW
Falls as of now are essentially less expensive and less powerful Obers with less utility. They aren't bad, but admit it or not, the main selling point of Luftwaffe is Falls, that are a sidegrade of a non doctrinal unit. They also share the same role of ambush unit as the long range oriented JLI, and JLI will never be able to compete as ambush unit compared to Falls, no matter how good it actually is.
While I agree with the sentiment behind removing the faust, I can hardly ever see this unit put in use.
I'd consider as design model similar Osttruppen vs Grenadiers from the Ostheer
Trying to change the unit so it can be an actual alternative, rather than a sidegrade would make the doctrine more interesting. A 5 men squad with 3 grens rifles that loses both ambush and the high dps by trading survivability with 2 of its fg42.

It might worth considering this for USF:

Same, 76mm Shermans are intended as generalist, why would someone take a normal sherman?
It could be grouped up with the wc51 in place of the m3 |
I think they need a buff but not dps. I think they should have less RA, or even straight up damage reduction to increase durability against aoe as well.
Nothing too big, because the true achilles heel of ukf is teching. |
