Thread: Ask the Strategist!15 Jan 2014, 20:45 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2014, 16:53 PMSarantini What are the effects when a squad is freezing? It says they fire their weapons slower and move slower. i dont know of any effects for freezing. i dont know what loading screen tip youre referring to, but it may just be poorly written. units in blizzards do have negative effects. units in blizzards are typically freezing, but theyll have these negative effects even when next to a fire. all units have 50% sight radius in blizzards. mortars/howitzers/panzerwerfers/katyushas all have double scatter and their barrage abilities all recharge 50% slower. vehicles have 75% of their max speed and rotation speed.

Thread: Ask the Strategist!13 Jan 2014, 05:52 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2014, 20:18 PMvan Voort G43s on PGs. g43s give you 10 extra range and are better at great than 20m. mp44s are better at 20m or less. like muffin said, with schrecks they might be good since youll want your pgrens at long range. id avoid them though since theyre expensive nad really not worth it. Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2014, 11:19 AM19mila92 Hi Strategist! I have a couple of question for you 1. i think building t2 vehicles when the soviets have guards is typically a mistake. especially with 1 cp guards, its very hard to make use of them. i would typically use 222 or fht as a counter to shocks. without shocks, i would just build pgrens, assuming the soviets didnt go guards and snipers. 2. looks like that was your next question. guards and snipers is really hard to counter in this patch. i would recommend just spamming grens. i usually hate this strategy, but in this case i find it almost mandatory. this strat pretty much forces you into blobbing. if you have too few infantry squads, the snipers will quickly force a retreat. building pgrens will reduce the number of squads you can build and also make the mp bleed from snipers much worse. Jump back to quoted post10 Jan 2014, 17:59 PMsir muffin i heard from the dev's that they were going to make the g43 upgrade on PG's 10 munis but that must've been canclled somewhere along the line ha, you mean you "heard" from the beta Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2014, 11:36 AMslother Hello! 1. the 4% rate of fire bulletin is the only bulletin that will give you a decent boost to your suppression. accuracy will also increase it, but not by enough to really matter, it mainly increases dps. 2. i believe the reload modifier only applies to vehicles, while the accuracy modifier applies to all units 3. depends which type of weapon youre talking about. for example, a mortar would have these modifiers when hitting units in trenches: these are actually the same modifiers that small arms have against trenches.

With that, the odds of survival would be a lot better, even with the mine's high base damage. i think you mean other AOEs, because every mine ive checked has no damage drop off. the german AI mines are awful though, and the AT mines arent a problem.

Thread: The tiger ace syndrome12 Jan 2014, 16:25 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2014, 15:43 PMwuff Could the troop training ability only give one star per use, currently many units achieve two stars per use. What do you think? units dont recieve a set amount of stars. the ability gives a fixed amount of xp, so the amount of vet is then based on the cost of the unit. grens get vet 3 in 1 use. pgrens only get vet 2. panthers require 2 uses to get vet 1. ive really never felt vet units are a problem. youre investing heavily into a single unit. this reduces the number of tanks you can have on the field and also delays teching. the only thing i find annoying is vet 3 mortars early on, but its nothing you cant handle. also, i dont see the point in discussing commanders that havent been announced. one, you have no idea when/if theyll show up and two, you have no idea how they function. just seems like itll get people worked up, potentially over nothing.

Thread: "One-shot-wipe-potential"12 Jan 2014, 16:18 PM just wanted to point out that having low hp squads or full hp squads hit a mine makes no difference. soviet mines always do 200 damage to any entity they hit, the only randomness is if they will hit units in the outer half of their radius. so low up squads is not a cause for getting one shotted by mines. as for bunching up, i dont know of any way to control their formation. avoid choke points is obviuos, but besides that i dont think theres anything you can do.
