Would definitely be a cool feature to trade resources for manpower and vice versa.

There is some games I have played which had that feature and that is good.

Maybe that would be something that could be added into COH3.



The fuel caches cost 250 mp for an output of 3 fuel per min if I am not mistaken
and
for ammo caches cost 250 mp for an output of 7 ammo per min.



So say I want to get extra manpower by trading fuel. I trade 3 fuel effectively gives me around 83 manpower.

Trading 7 ammo should give me something like 35 manpower



It would increase diverse gameplay by investing and allocating resources, making decisions and sacrifices in order to keep the game a flow.

Something like having a market economy in the game. Investing, allocating all your available resources that you have, for more this and that should be another thing that would impact the game. Your investment strategy could even have the effect on the outcome of the game on top of it rather than just from micro alone.

Economical, strategical and tactical thinking would be fun all in combination.


Maybe there should be a cache for an output for extra manpower instead?


Though I do not imagine that it is possible for such a drastic change to appear in game. At least some other areas of decision making should have an impact on the game.

On the topic of the flak trak if I recall properly (been a while since I used it) a set up flak trak will actually lose to a kraut mower that comes to it. Maybe a ROF buff will make it more reliable at all the roles it should be/ could be filling.

It is current accuracy is too poor and scatter, that is my problem with it. It misses to frequently for that much damage output especially when it must deploy before shooting.

Reload is long currently too which makes it bad and bad and bad on top of everything else about it.

Just too many downsides at the moment with it. There is nothing good about it anymore. too exposed and vulnerable in too many situations.



One thing it does not even have at all and it is simply just described in one word only.

CONSISTENCY.

It simply does not have that at all.

It was good before but now is just garbage unfortunately.

I suggest making it accurate in the beginning already by moving its vet 2 accuracy bonus only to vet 0 instead.

So, that it can vet and scale properly which it cant even do with its current performance.



Odd thing about it, it begins to only do well when ti reaches vet 2. Any lower, it is simply utter garbage as it is even problematic to even scale due to its poor stats in the beginning.

Here is a forum I made based on this topic. https://www.coh2.org/topic/96376/thoughts-on-okws-flak-half-track

I think its major problems stems from:

A: It must setup to fire, USF AAHT does not.

B: A full burst from the cannon cannot kill the M3A1 scout car, which allows for PTRS penals to easily approach and AT satchel it.

C: AEC counters it very well.

There isn't any good spot for it vs all allied factions. Why buy a mediocre HT when the luchs is a real wiping threat and more duarble and can fire on the move. There just isn't a reason to buy a suppression platform when the MG34 doesn't require specific tech. Plus mechanized also has the puma, which counters all light vehicle play and even some medium tanks.

Battlegroup is simply not good enough.

That is too true. It is simply not good.


If I am not mistaken. The Devs or Relic have nerfed the Flak Half Track into a state which I would simply consider as useless now. That was a change that I believed was not even thought through properly.

Before, it was an option, yet to an extent somewhat viable and still difficult to handle due to its timing and vulnerability.

Now after the absurd nerf, it is simply impossible to use it even practically. Since its current accuracy and damage has been nerfed. The only thing you get out of this unit is simply losing that manpower and fuel for nothing.

Gosh, even the overall DPS has changed drastically into a worse state than before. It cant even handle lights vehicles and more so now even infantry. USF Halftrack can easily handle and do both areas.

The Flak Half Track is just really the worst light vehicle currently in game. It is simply not viable. That is why.



The September patch change for Flak Half Track overall is simply a joke. It is simply useless and frustrating to even use. Currently, it is not even worth it overall.

Gets countered too easily and cant even handle its designated role properly. It is just terribly designed as of now in its current state.

People ask for nerf, then this unit is just left in the ditch to be forgotten because nobody cares since Luchs is just another option instead. It is simply terrible balancing is all I can say about this work done on this unit.

It just was simply better before, it simply was viable before, now it is just not.

They should improve it to a state similarly to how it used to be. That is the fix it needs to have in order to make it viable again.

Currently, the only thing that is useful only in Med base is just the LEIG & Infrared Halftrack (both mostly used in team games only). All in all, Med Base Battlegroup is simply not a practical choice in some game other modes.

Really in poor state of gameplay and terms of viability. It needs some improvements and changes.

Not to make them as mainline.

To use them effectively enough as a means of support.

An idea to make Echelons more viable and to be more utilized since other Engineers are getting too some improvements in order to make it used more often!
