Aha. And? OKW also has a doctrinal improved scavenge but that's nowhere near UKF and Sov scavenge

Do you have to pay resources and sacrifice AI in order to be able to salvage or scavenge is FREE, part of the root abilities of the unit?

Salvage values of outliers units (Ex: ambulance) should be adjusted. Scavenge values could be adjusted as well after OKW 100% resource income (to make it simple, leave it as it is for support/light vehicles, increase to 10 for mediums, 20 for heavies).

Now, if you want to have salvage returns, then you should also have to pay for them. I don't think SP has any more space to add things, so i wouldn't mind seeing a 100muni upgrade on Volks IF Scavenge was not already prime meta commander.
Once Party cover is properly nerfed, if no rework of the other abilities is done, you won't see any more salvage going around anymore (Dank Hunter aren't been used).

... should they?

If the question is serious, yes.

Heavy cover doesn't mean immunity to suppression.

You are actually mistaken Pathfinder have more PDS then JLIRS that can become even better with rack weapons.

Both squad are recon squad and Pathfinder not only can set up beacons but also come with camo (that helps them spot with impunity) but they also get better sight radius at vet 1 instead of medic kits. JLIRS need to reach vet 2 to get camo.

The infiltration of the JLIRS is mainly useful against a sniper (and even then the sniper can still retreat) since they have very little shock value with their low close range range DPS and luck of a grenades. They are probably the infiltration squad with least alpha strike value.

Both units reinforce with same cost and have some pop.

People don't use pathfinder simply because they do not use the Commander...

Pathfinder and JLIRS are of about equal value.

Working from memory

More DPS at close/mid range. JLI get more DPS at mid/long range. Carbine vs Kars
Path gets 2 carbines with 40% crit. JLI get's one with 75/80% crit. If it's 80% then it just need 1 hit from Kar to crit.
0.8 vs 1.0 receive accuracy. Because of this, Pathfinders are way more support unless you give them double bars AND they get vet.
JLI end up scaling better through vet.
Commander wise, Pathfinders are there as a single unit to deploy beacons. JLI get access to volley grenade, scavenge and booby trap.

As part of the faction, which is the most important, Pathfinders on their timing/arrival/function are redundant.
You'll have 3/4 Rifles + mortar and eventually an Officer. You then want to add more infantry on Pathfinders, support weapons and/or Paras?


Pathfinders:
-Changed to 0 CP. Start on cooldown. NO infiltration (i don't think the unit needs it)
-Reduce weapon slots to 1.
-Reinforce cost to 0.40 (30mp)
-Increase cd on beacon or make them actually have to build them (IIRC they assemble automatically)

50cal/AT gun:
-Changed to 75muni each
-50cal goes to 2CP (is it already?); AT gun to 3CP

While it may seem cheap, support field operation from UKF is 150muni for a Vickers, UK AT gun (better), med drop and movement n reinforce speed bonus.
Remember that you also have to take into account that you still have to reinforce the weapon (cheapest been RE at 25mp per model, so extra 100mp).

P47:
-I'll rather lower the cost to 200MU rather than increasing the performance (i think it's fine leaving it as mostly an anti heavier tank tool). On the other hand, i'll raise the CAS cost to 220/240MU instead.

Campaign

Then the new squad spacing isn't helping, at least against Brits. I played one game on Hill 400 as Ost last night. The other player on my side and I took the other team's natural fuel, VP and cut in probably less than 5 minutes. I thought the game was going to be over quickly. It was, just not how I expected. The first mortar pit wiped a full health Gren squad in one shot (two shells). By the time I killed the first mortar pit, there were two more mortars and a bofors.

There is a lesson you can get out of this:

First of all: replay. Cause you can describe all what you saw during the game, but there's probably plenty of things you are missing.

Second: you have to realise that capping the map doesn't mean you are winning the match. People often forgets that mp attrition war is more important than mindlessly charging forward.

Third: you opened a thread to complain after only playing 1 single game on which the bugfix didn't had any effect at all. Also, if 2 mortars of any kind are hitting a single squad, be it a mortar pit, 81mm, 82mm, 120mm or whatever, there is an RNG shot that it will wipe a squad, specially if you are sitting on yellow crater cover.


Disclaimer: mortar pits needs nerfs, but OP point is wrong.
