Ostwind
The changes seem to focus on turning Ostwind into a AI killing machine, while the reduction in scatter will make it even worse vs vehicles. Imo the unit should become better investment offering more. Compared to the Centaur it has allot less armor and bigger target size.
Suggestions:
Tone down the AI of the unit but increase its performance vs light tanks.
Increase armor reduce size target to perform better vs light tanks
Increase the damage vs light tanks. One could either give the Ostwind 2 fire modes AI and AP with AP or one could turn the auto cannon into a accuracy based weapon similar to Centaur.
Panzergrenadiers
Imo semi elite unit should not be available in their full potential this early. They should follow the power level of mainline infatry and scale with them.
Suggestions:
PG become cheaper close to 280-300 and come with worse weapons a combination of k98/g43/ST44 getting the rest of their weapon as an upgrade.
Since there is real danger of shreck blob one could removed the shcrek upgrade from the PG and create a separate unit (AT PGs) that can upgrade with shcrek.
+1,and I think PG default weapon change to 98k or MP40,STG44 upgrade need phase 2 but give more buff for PG |
Are you sure about your numbers? Because Osttruppen actually have a -50% accuracy penalty (at least to their K98).
I remember all osttruppen have -50% accuracy debuff for all weapon,but cover bouns only for them 98k... |
Is that why people started spamming Stormtroopers and skipping T1?
Spamming stormtroopers?340/34 manpower cost How to spam ?It's joke? |
For Soviet and USF
Soviet use 150MP/15Fuel unlock Cons Molotov and AT Grande
USF still 150MP/15Fuel unlock RM Grande and AT Rifle Grande,as compensation,give Riflemen build light AI mine (same as Soviet defensive Tactics)in vet1 |
if Rifle squad have vet1, they alredy have a AT grenade
Problem is you need vet1,in late game if you lost vet Riflemen squad you will never have ability defend German panzer rush,and in early game,tech upgrade also can deal Ost flame251 or OKW wagen if you didn't got bazooka or AT gun |
Rifleman are a victim of powercreep, pgren/Jaeger/shocks/grens hell even ostruppen all recieving buffs through core changes or commanders.
Meanwhile they lost their smoke grenades. I say drop them to 250mp like volks and make BAR a 60muni StG style upgrade, then slightly nerf performance. Also give back smoke with grenade tech
Not smoke,I think AT grenade more balance,better bundle Soviet ATgrande and molotov |
I understand. However, the WER is relatively flexible compared to the United States. And the problem with the Grenadier disease in WER is that it is a reinforce so reducing their reinforce from 30 to 25
Single Grenadier is best mainline infantry,so 30 for a man ,contrast Riflemen and UKF infantry I think is balance,but biggest problem of Grenadier I think is 4men squad size and too late bouns for survival,give more survival bouns (more receive accuracy reduce or damage reduce)for Grenadier in vet2 is enough |
And I do not want to talk about the Volk Grenadier. Because it is difficult to discuss this topic. The reason for this is that the difference in betters between each other is too large. but definately thing is volk manpower is 250 that is cheaper than rifle squad
And see Ost Grenadier,if increase M1 Garand damage to 10,they will got high dps in 35m as Grenadier,more close will more high than Grenadier,and more 1 squad size than grenadier,Grenadier got combat bouns in vet2,only vet3 got reduce received accuracy. |
And I do not want to talk about the Volk Grenadier. Because it is difficult to discuss this topic. The reason for this is that the difference in betters between each other is too large. but definately thing is volk manpower is 250 that is cheaper than rifle squad
So,I think Riflemen need not more buff,they are little expensive than Volks,and little better than Volks,is balance |
I forgot. Of course, I think that strum pioneer manpower is better than the existing one. It would be a little more reasonable if we reduced it from the existing 300 to 260. And I think that for op if the VOLK gets more vets bonus)
Volks in vet3 received accuracy is 0.78,Cons and Grens vet3 is 0.71,Riflemen is0.64,Infantry section in vet2 is0.63,Volks got worst Vet bouns even Vet5. |
