That deficiency is beaing greatly diminished in this patch and spios are not getting a slap for it tho.

The thing with it is that this is, ironically, making the ability less valuable. Medcrates are good value, but the fact they come in threes and can be stolen, means they're generally only worth using in base anyway.

They don't really need "Slapping" because their factional healing is becoming less restrictive. UKF didn't get slapped when Medics were introduced... despite already having the best healing in the game.

I do usually prefer when my meals aren't severely oversalted.

Yeah, tho spios don't exactly need to be right next to you and are incomparably more muni efficient with their healing.

Rifle nade is weapon upgrade, not nade, neither its stock utility, which we are talking here.

Perhaps, though Spio healing is intended to make up for a factional deficiency, more than it being a "bonus". The stun grenade is nice, however.

I still think Spios are overpriced and overpopped for what you're getting. The new balance patch is somewhat addressing this though. Not really important to discuss in the UKF balance feedback, anyway.

I don't think RoyEs are going to be overpowered in this upcoming patch, but I think they're going to be quite strong. Their Veterancy is still a little weird though. Someone suggested making them a rifle squad that can upgrade to SMGs earlier in the thread, which sounds interesting, but I don't really see the point.

What i WOULD be interested in seeing is a change to the Officer, putting him at tier 0 (Instead of the REs?) as a Rifle squad, that can upgrade in a couple ways, (SMGs to become the current Assault officer, or with a Scoped Enfield with either a path/jli snipe, or a muni snipe) coupled with some other utilities.

I'm currently working on a tuning mod with this idea implemented. I think it might be interesting to see if the Officer could even be made to be the UKF starting unit... though this has the problem of further restricting UKF sandbagging. Either way, It's a fun project so I'm gonna continue. I doubt the Balans team is interested in user suggestions like this though.

I think that giving "Command" vehicles a multitude of utility abilities would be rather better than auras. Auras encourage blobbing, and are difficult to balance, whereas giving the Command P4 unit-target abilities of various types would likely be a lot better.

This is, after all, why the Sturm Offizier was changed. (Admittedly infantry auras are potentially more abusable)

yes but the molotov

1. takes a decade to throw (which puts the squad in danger)
2. has shorter range (by quite a bit)
3. is a paid upgrade (incend is free with tech)


the only real advantage the molotov has over incend is the fact that its 10 muni cheaper...

That's a pretty nice advantage, though. There's also the OTHER advantage that it comes on a cheaper squad, that also has a sprint (And other utilities).
