M-42 already has a camo/first strike bonus and vehicle tracking as a vet 1 ability.
Simply removed canister shot and the unit will still be fine.
Removing the canister shot from the M-42 makes it even more useless. After all, you have non commander ZIS-3, which is better in performance and has a useful anti-infantry ability. Take the M-42 for an ambush shot? Take the ZIS-3 camouflage commander. |
It was a bad design from start, so just remove it and find another way to make the M42 not shit.
in M-42 there is no point at all in the presence of ZIS-3. M-42 is a relic of a terrible starting design (hello conscripts and penals). ZIS-3 was the commander ability, M-42 was built in the building. But at the same time, in the opposite side, the Elephant could be built in T4 without a commander. M-42 remained until the end of the war because it was light and had frag and canister shoots. |
The thing is, it suppresses well enough if massed. Part of it too is that cons are not worth supporting/being support. Would you rather a con squad who can't scale until you fully tech and will lose helplessly against the enemy units costing the same or another MG that can support your existing MG for only 40mp more? They deal enough damage that a pair of then has far more to offer than a maxim and a con squad ever could.
Bump the maxim up to 300mp and make it do its job a little bit and drop cons to 220 and you might see the occasional con support squad but nobody wants cons as support RN because cons are not support.
Increase Max to 300mp and you will finally finish off the Soviet start, which already sucks now. While you are building Maxim at the start for 300mp, you give a huge advantage in the presence on the map. Or leave Maxim 260mp but a little buff, or leave it current and reduce the price. In the current state, Maxim is not worth its price. |
IMHO usf demo charges shouldnt be able to destroy lefh or pak43, that would prove problematic. 2 or 3 demo charges per lefh seems like a good number.
Usually the howitzer is located near the main base so that they are covered with machine guns or built near AA or Medical HQ. So if it should to destroy with a single charge - a huge difficulty should be given a huge profit. |
Even worst, you had no supply income before and duplicates were a thing. So it wasn't rare that you could get multiple of the same commanders been dropped.
Yeah. Initially, supply drop randomly, and when I already got everything I needed, the system was reworked and forgotten, I have a ton of coins for which there is nothing to buy. In this situation, it would be better if Relic to continue to produce paid content: DLCs, Commanders, and (personally for me) historical skins. |
Hold on, aint all commanders can be bought with warspoils? Althougth it would take around 100 battles with spoils only to get that, but it still possible.
No, warspoils were added about two years later (I do not remember exactly) the appearance of the game, before that the commanders were bought for real money. And I would even now buy really new commanders with new abilities and techniques, because without new content, the game becomes more boring and boring to play. |

I hope the next patch (which will affect the changes in heavy tanks) will change the IS-2 and ISU-152 these heavy tanks hard suck. These are so rare tanks in the game that they can be called an extinct animal species. |
|
Obviously and objectively, Maxim is the worst machine gun in the game, the next is probably MG-34. The rest are either fine (Vickers) or great - MG-42, I am surprised that there are people who think that MG-42 is the best machine gun in the game requires a buff. |
|
I noticed and heard from friends many complaints that after the last patches, tanks pathfinding had deteriorated sharply. When I give the order back the tanks start spinning, even if there is an open area behind the tank. |
|
For the Soviets: any commander in which have Shock Troops and the IL-2 bomb strike, this is very important for 3vs3/4vs4. If you prefer the Guard - there is an excellent commander: guard, reconnaissance plane and IL-2 bomb strike.
For the British, for me personally, Sexton commander. He has reconnaissance and artillery strikes.
For the US, I have no preferences, the most used: Airborne and Priest commander. |
