Next Winter patch, removing the cover requirement for Ro.E Vet 1 bonuses would really help with reducing reliance on IS power, even if the numbers need to come down.
I completely agree. The cover bonus is awkward on an SMG squad.
Vet 1 and 2 are pretty weak, but vet 3 has a huge RA bonus. I think some of that power could be moved earlier. |

Just going to repeat my idea of making Ambush Camo and G43s exclusive with each other. This would have no impact on the other (less popular) commanders with Ambush Camo, but would force players to give something up for the camo snare in this (too popular) commander. |
|
Someone may have said this already, but I think lowering the snare range to volks level could help the issue instead. Or just disabling the ability when camouflaged.
Or is the real purpose of the change to nerf G43 grenadier ambushes? In this case, why not make the G43 and Ambush Camouflage upgrades exclusive? |
|
I also disagree with the camo nerf, or at least think it's too extreme. The other commanders with Ambush Camo (Storm and Encirclement Doctrines) are well below average in popularity.
Replacing one of the Jaeger Infantry's strikes seems to be a better approach.
While the subject has been brought up: I think the Jaeger Command Squad is an awkward unit that doesn't contribute enough that other commander abilities don't do already. Maybe it could use more utility/officer abilities? |

Great, thanks to everyone involved! Are the mod tools being updated as well?
I'm very curious to see how the handheld AT was prevented from firing at infantry.
My only concern is the Soviet Air Supply Drop and other commander abilities shared between factions. Doesn't feel quite right. Same with the M3 being its own slot in Rifle Company, but not Mechanized Company.
Also, since 2/3 Stuka Smoke Bombs have been removed from Ostheer, maybe it could replace Panzer Tactician (6 appearances) in another commander? |
Gren VSL upgrade to focus on high durability (but with a slower build up compared to Osttruppen) over firepower with 5th model and STG 44, but with current cooldown bonuses traded for the extra -10% received accuracy.
That looks perfect to me, I don't think a complicated rework is needed. |
|
I'd like to repeat my B4 suggestion to make it work more like the Sturmtiger's round. 580 damage seems fair to me; not one-shotting mediums, but keeping its identity.
I also am not a fan of the Air Supply Drop in Soviet Reserves, since it's just taken from another faction and doesn't appear elsewhere in the Soviet roster. Airdropped or regular DShK, maybe? |
|
I proposed returning some RA along with the StG, like 5%.
Apparently one modestly worse weapon and 10% RA is the difference between horrifically OP and useless, so it really shouldn't take much to fix them. |
|
Since Vehicle Crew Repair is in 4/9 commanders, maybe one could be replaced with the mortar team? Probably Vanguard Operations? Or lend-lease, even |
|
I recommend making the B-4 work more like the Sturmtiger, in that it does 580 damage and suppresses in a radius. I think firing 3 weaker shots reduces the unit's identity. |
