Thanks, everyone. I'll make it a thread in a little bit, but I want to write the idea up a little bit better first.

Just so I don't waste a bunch of time; it is possible to set target sizes higher than 26, right?

That would probably be a question to ask to modders in general. To see if someone had found an issue with it.

Reminder that just because it seems inocuos at first, anything that happens in coding has unexpected consequences.

As others have said, you should had seen what planes used to do before.

For most cases, extreme cases of RNG had been dealt with with only a few exceptions been left which still don't make sense to this day (hello ram).


The whole concept of RNG is not about removing it completely, it's about not rewarding or punishing a player for absolutely no reason at all.

As seeing that GeneralsGentlemen just released a vid recently, you could check his POV on the subject from back then in 2016 when it was partially toned down but still there (example mines).

But this is the balance section, so here he writes who is interested in this.

There are 2 extremely good videos on the subject. There's an old vid from Richard Garfield (Magic The Gathering creator) on luck vs skill. It's a bit longer and "boring" but a more approachable source is this one:




TL;DW: translated from fighting game to CoH2, some people want the game direction to be towards a "party game". Who wins doesn't matter based on who plays better. Others prefer the whole "competitive" vibe.
So in a scale of luck vs skill you have low skill low luck (tic tac toe), low skill high luck (bingo), high skill low luck (Chess), high skill high luck (poker). Different persons want the game to go towards different regions on this chart.

Realistically, only the first 5-7 units could be considered a "build order".

As others said, don't just take at what the LMG34 on it's own is doing but the whole squad.

Obers are fine for how late they arrive.
