Great stuff. Looks and plays really well I'd probably just add some manpower cost to all trenches (if there isn't any in Ur mod) in order not to spam them too mindlessly.

That's actually how trenches are for the Osttruppen Doctrine in live. I think as well as the community defensive doctrine and OKW heavy fortifications.

None of the current trenches available to any of the commanders or factions have any cost associated with them. Unless you mean a mod you've created and have a "live" version for.



In regards to the thread suggestions:

The changes to the panzerwerfer are very interesting and I particularly like the smoke barrage idea.

I don't like the recovery squads idea. I get that its a throwback to CoH 1, but currently there are no abilities which positively augment manpower income in anyway and this is for a good reason. It will have drastic effects on factions or build timings that are manpower tight and still have potent effects on ones that aren't.

I like the idea of adding suppression to the railway artillery, but I dislike having all the shots arrive at once. The suppression helps with area denial, but the alpha strike damage instead of consecutive shots negates it.

Garrisoning mortars in trenches is a cool idea, however I don't like the range increase or especially passive healing. If trenches were given a SUBSTANTIAL mp cost like say 100mp, then perhaps passive healing could be ok but if they cost only 50 mp(like the old trenches) or if they were free as now, I feel like players would just build 3-4 trenches in base and skip the bunker medics or equivalent. The micro tax would be higher but healing overall would be faster due to more models healing, and the resource cost would be lower. I feel the barrage range just rewards putting mortars in trenches too much, you already get the durability increase against enemy indirect fire, adding additional range is too much I think.

One change I'd like to see is the vet 3 mortar barrage accuracy bonus changed to a +20% barrage reload speed on all mortars and support guns.

The problem with the increased accuracy is that it makes mortars actually worse at area saturation/denial and can be problematic when barraging say a brit emplacement as it makes them less likely to scatter out and hit the repairing engineers.
I dont know if it's the case, but if the accuracy bonus effects smoke barrages, the vet 3 is an even bigger nerf as it reduces the potential area covered by smoke.

A 20% increase to rate of fire would still increase the dps against whatever you are trying to hit by 20% without damaging its other roles.

Yes, i did specifically say "supported AT gun". Taking out an isolated AT is nothing special.

Most infantry have a sight range of 35 too.

And BTW crew grenade or WP is not a "hard counter" to ATG wall, no way in hell you can claim that. ATG outranges even WP for a start. U pretty much show your poor knowledge with such an outlandish claim

I'm pretty sure WP shells have longer range then ATG sight range, and I'm pretty sure that comets with tank commander have longer sight range then ATG. If you are saying the problem is that the comet can't shut down x4 paks with infantry support, you would be very correct. But the problem isnt that the comet cant defeat 40 supply of anti tank assets, the problem is the comet can excessively easily shut down 1-2 atg even if they have infantry support. No other tank does that except the churchill.
