Thanks for answering. How about Pathfinders with better received accuracy at vet 0? I would assume the change in base stats would make them more durable vs the units built at base.
Instead of adding new abilities, what do you guys think of reducing the received accuracy by 5-10% for the Pathfinder at Vet 0 along with the ability to reinforce at the beacon. This would differentiate the two pathfinders squads a bit more.
With the change to the pathfinders, it would indirectly buff the airdrop mg/at by allowing for early pushes without having to build an ambulance to reinforce. While making them a bit better than stock due to the self spotting and better durability.
A question I had for the more knowledgeable, do the crewed weapons keep VET stats of crewing infantry? If it does then crewing an MG/AT with a VET 2/3 pathfinder with the additional received accuracy bonus could function like elite support weapons.
Unit seems fine to me. Like most said the commander is fairly weak.
It would be nice if they added rifleman incendiary grenades to the flamethrower ability. Beacons could be added to the Rifleman flare ability. This would allow the commander to be focused on rifleman utility and Muni starved so that it is not a BAR fest like it normally is.
Hi guys, new to the forum but have been lurking for a while. I am a USF lover and had an idea about how to rework the tech tiers so that all units are available. First post so be nice and i apologize if someone posted something similar.
Start game with 0 gas
Lieutenant cost 280 MP 10 gas. Tech time stays the same. No bazooka upgrade
Unlocks
AT, MG and Howi
Captain cost 280MP 60 gas. Tech time stays the same. No Bar upgrade, supervise locked behind Vet 1
Unlocks
M20, Stuart, AAHT
Major stays the same
I was thinking this my reduce the WC51 spam to open the game and allow for more varied army composition. The LT gas price is to avoid LT rush and force some opening infantry. The increased MP price to slightly nerf infantry spam. This would also give USF AT gun in all situations so that a better solution could be found to the Jackson problem. Supervise was removed since M20 rush could become cancerous.
Another completely unrelated idea I had was to give Pathfinders a single M1919 upgrade after tech to LT/CPT and making Paratroopers Thompson/Zooks only. This could potentially make Pathfinders a better sniper counter while improving synergy with Paratroopers.
