Maybe, it wouldnt be bad to shoot at target last chosen, if none were, then it can do what it wants?!

Even taking up an activity like running, where you don't have to pay for facilities, isn't completely free of monetary upkeep. Why should gaming be?

When it comes to balancing, I'll just weather it. As long as I keep shelling out cash for them, they have a real incentive to fix things.

For 20 fuel, its valid.

The cost is so severly crippling to teching and eventual armor.
Vet isnt that great anymore. 20 fuel however is a severe setback.

A single Maxim will deal with Vet infantry, as will they die just as fast to a mortar, as will a sniper vet even faster by depleting an even more expensive unit. Basically that Vet doesnt do jack shit for you except against infantry in a vacuum. It doesnt help you one bit vs anything else except small arms combat.

Yes, a single unit may be more effective, but at 20 fuel, its a bitter cost that bites you back, hard, as the game progresses.

Unfortunately this indirectly makes RNades even shitter vs buildings, especially in extreme early game.

Not that the change wasnt absolutely necessary. It certainly was, but now there really is no need for Sov to worry about RNades on garrisons in very early game, whereasntheir own Molotov still automatically causes a a degarrison.

Flamer survival and increased garrison dmg is all well and fine, but it actually benefits Sov far more.

A) Ost infantry relies on armor to equalise small arms combat. Flame completely bypasses that, leaving Ost infantry AND Support units very vulnerable as compared to Sov infantry and Support teams from Pio Flamers.

B) A Maxim in a building is VERY difficult to approach with aPio Flamer, owing to the faster resetup of Maxims within buildings, as compared to MG42 in a garrison vs CE Flamers.

C) Molotov is an automatic garrison emptier, and can in the hands of an adept player, be placed at the exit of a building, so that not only is the unit inside forced to vacate, but especially MG42s have to cook in the flame at the door as well.

I think RNade needs a more consistent dmg vs Garrisoned units. All to often it does jack shit, and Sov just laughs at the Muni expense.

Furthermore, I think Flamers need to be asymmetric, rather than universal as they are now.
Sov can stay as it is, whereas Ost Flamer needs a wider template, but with lower DPS, to account for dealing with a more numerous and spread out Sov unit.
