Thread: (H)MG34 9 Apr 2020, 12:00 PM
This has been discussed repeatedly on this board.
I was always of fan of reducing its supression and increasing its damage, since IRL the MG34 had a slower rate of fire compared to the MG42.
It just feels like a crappy MG42.
Instead of incendiary, it could have increased ROF special attack, increasing its suppression to that of an MG42 temporarily. This would make sense in the fact early MG34's had a clockwork adjuster to increase/decrease ROF for an intended purpose. |
Give it bigger BOOM. Pre-Sturmtiger shell.
Edit: Then it can be one shell. Like a stronger StuKa zu Fuß, because of flares + sound.
Make it like the V2 rocket in COH. No flares, the sound of impending Doom...then BOOM. |
Why couldn't they do the trucks like US forces?
Split the initial cost and vehicles.
You could get your truck setup faster, and have access your MG and I.G. then you could unlock the additional vehicles with a seperate upgrade.
Heck, they already do that with the Panzer HQ upgrade. |
Armor Doctrine, Assault Engineers, have a rifleman back them up. Bleed them heavily. Done. |
That, and emplacements are way too easy to get around now. They take too long to build, they are vulnerable once they are built and take up too much cap space.
If my friend is running UKF, I'm running OKW with Feverstrum. I've got volks with mp40s, isg with incindiary, flammenpanzer, on top of an early sturmpioneer to wreck infantry sections, which early game the brits dont hsve an answer for. Now with OKW having a better AT gun, now a UC is not that big of a threat.
I liked the new commander for UKF which gives you portable mortars, which is a lot handier than setting up a static position. Also the assault infantry was an attempt to boost Brits early game close combat capability. But they are fairly expensive at 70 munitions, and go head to head with assault grens which are a lot cheaper.
UKF is great once you enter mid-game, but try doing so and not being far behind.
I would like to see emplacements weaker, but build faster. Make them cheaper too, and give an ability to scuttle them and get a partial refund. Ost can do it to their 88's, why not UKF? |
Currently like Ostruppen, Elite Troops, and Strategic Reserves |
Currently, I really like Lend Lease - IS, MG, IS, Fast tier 2, research BOFORS, Engineer.
One of your IS is a Assault Section, other is a double BREN healer. with the insta mortar call in you can build a BOFORS near a VP and have your mortars counter battery enemy Indirect.
Lend Lease has made IS a lot better. I like to place the double bren behind cover and have my assault section flank. |
My main problem is it takes too long to lay sandbags/barbed wire/traps, unless I have two dedicated engineers to it, (which I don't). |
Pre patch, people virtually stopped using the Ostwind due to cost/performance ratio.
Pre, pre-patch, everyone was bitching about the Ostwind being too powerful.
It did need a buff and got one.
I agree with above stated about just making the Centuar 90.
I use the ostwind situationally, especially against soviet shock troops. |
I kind of like them as a shreckwreckers support unit. Volks with STG's are fine until Ober, in my opinion. |
