Thread: Wehrmacht - Strategic Reserves - Feedback23 Apr 2019, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 12:06 PMSmartie +1 Just wanted to point out that they have the costs of elite infantry but obviously not the same performance. Earlier arrival + new vet1 is a step in the right direction. but i think further changes are probably needed. So, I suggest an anti-infantry upgrade for panzer grenadiers, somehow like new panzerfusiliers. They can have either anti-tank or anti-infantry roles: Infrared StG44 upgrade: provides 2 squad members with StG44 rifles, increases squad size by 1 (need reinforce, 90 mun maybe) Vet 3 bonus: +passive healing, increases survival chance Current modifications and costs are fine, i like combined arms. StG44 maybe replaced by one LMG34 (fires on the move, like obers). In: Lobby
Thread: Wehrmacht - Strategic Reserves - Feedback23 Apr 2019, 11:45 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 11:29 AMSmartie You say "Wehrmacht needs its own elite infantry". I agree 100% but the best way to reach this goal is to improve the standard non doctrinal pgrens and not create a new unit that can only be used in 1 doctrine. Pgrens cost 340!!!mp they are supposed to fulfill the role of "elite inf". But the unit needs further buffs thats for sure. I agree with you that a non-doctrinal elite unit would be much better, but i don't think that decreasing the cost of the panzergrenadiers is the answer. Regardless to its cost, the new (or the modified) unit shout be able to withstand elite infantries of other factions. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback23 Apr 2019, 11:14 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2019, 13:07 PMSander93 Panzer Tactician is a defensive ability. If you want to use smoke to attack with your tanks, the doctrine has the Stuka Smoke drop. The arrival of the stuka might be a little bit too late... No idea about why panzerfusiliers can not be a call-in unit and why they are so special? In: Lobby
Thread: Wehrmacht - Strategic Reserves - Feedback23 Apr 2019, 11:08 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2019, 13:33 PMSmartie agreed. Even if the Pgrens had only 1 flamer it would create a unnecessary precedent. Currently only pios can use flamers which is good imo. There is no need for urban pgrens, Assgrens can clean houses with grenades. While some units undergo major changes and addition of new models are forbidden, why wehrmacht should not get an elite infantry in the form of urban panzergrenadiers? Look at the other factions... shock troops, new guard paratroops, rangers and paratroopers, new assault tommies, falls and obers... Wehrmacht needs its own elite infantry in the same level as the mentioned squads (come on... don't mention assault grenadiers! simple 5-man mp-40) A sample suggestion would be the removal of dual flamethrowers and addition of 1 flamethrower upgrade for 60 mun. Durability package can be removed and squad can get an armor of 1.5 (same as shock troops and normal panzer greandiers). Balance team can made some additional changes to make this unit more suitable. The reworked urban panzergrenadiers may be another rare strategic reserve, like Tiger Ace and add a new unit to the old-looking wehrmacht (such as what soviets got in their new commander). In: Lobby
Thread: Wehrmacht - Strategic Reserves - Feedback22 Apr 2019, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2019, 18:57 PMTiger Baron What Vipper says makes sense for the most part and brings me to the thought that since this commander or doctrine or whatever you wanna call it is as far I can tell based on the elite "Großdeutschland" division which was a highly mechanized and elite unit of the Heer that served for the most part on the Eastern Front and was at several crucial battles such as Kursk, the Rzhev Meatgrinder and Kharkov. In essence they were a highly mobile reserve force often called in to plug gaps in the frontline or push out Soviet punches in the German lines. So if the Assault Grenadiers and Tiger Ace are proving too hard to handle in terms of balance and design replacing them with Urban Assault Panzergrenadiers or a Mechanized group with a 250 HT and replacing the Ace with a normal Tiger or a KT wouldn't be too far off from reality and the theme of the commander. I mean they even had stuff like Recon and Fusilier units which are represented with the Jaegers and Panzerfusiliers from the OKW basically so there's lots of options. It will be very interesting to see Urban Assault Panzergrenadiers back into the action, much needed infantry for this doctrine. KT seems a good idea too. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback22 Apr 2019, 11:24 AM Tested the commander for a few games and here are my opinions: Panzerfusiliers are given anti tank upgrade, which was needed in this faction. However, why this unit is not a call in unit unlike all other commander specific infantry squads? (I cant understand why??) Keeping a call-in squad suits the offensive theme much better. Plus, same AT upgrade costs 100 munition on panzergrenadiers and the cost may be reconsidered. I suggest the addition of panzer tactician to this doctorine, which encourages tanks to break into enemy lines. IMO, it can replace panzer commander upgrade which i don't think is useful here. This ability makes the commander much more attractive to the players who based their pushes on heavy OKW tanks. The addition of Tiger tank is a good idea, as it took a lot of fuel to unlock and bring KT in and fits the offensive theme well. However, the veterancy rank 4 and 5 should be reconsidered. The command mode significantly decreases the performance of the tank, costs munition and lasts too short. I suggest either a much useful passive command aura like command panther vet 1, extra abilities such as flare, self repair or air support, or tank specific upgrades such as penetration and sight boost.
