Ok I have 2 Ideas for fixing CAS. One Easy one Hard.

Easy idea: just change out the ammo conversion with the ammo drop from the other commander. This way they have to us some manpower(Ost main weakness), and have to have an ammo point for the full effect. Again this dose no not make the commander unviable, but dose punish the player for spamming the ability, and give the other play an opening.

Hard Idea: this idea i came up with as a way to make AA viable. What you need to do is give AA platforms (M3/sovs, Ostwin/Ost, AA-halftrack for both OKW/USF) a set up ability like the american AA-halftrack, but make it so enemy cant call in airstrikes in that area(good size), while the aa gun is set up. Now i am not talking recon runs, the aa can just shoot at them as normally and recon is not something that should be gotten rid of. Sutcka dive bombs, all staffs, p-47s, and any other airstrike on the other hand should no be sent in. This would achieve 3 things.

1. allows all air strikes to be powerful call ins. i mean if this michanice was implemented i don't see any reason for all air strikes to as good as the old il-2. I would say it would add depth to the game with each side trying to get the other aa down so they could call in the Air Cav.

2. would give all implacement like pak-43, and artillery a place in the meta for at least 2v2+. With the AA covering them, they wouldn't have to free stuka dive bombs. (which is one of the main reason for arty not being viable)

3 it would give aa unit an important role in the game. And, like i said it would had a whole new layer of depth to the game.

Well here is hoping that relic looks for, and makes map that fit these criteria. Especially because everyone that has posted, agrees.

It should not favor any specific faction or starting point.

how do you do that? How do you make a map that is equal for a faction that is all close range imf that have no long range damage, and a faction that is all long range damage, with little closes range abilities?

The more and more I play this game the more and more I think there is almost no real way to make a balanced map. I think this is the major reason we get maps like sitar, stalingrad and misk. With this is mind what do you all think a the key factors that are need to make a map balanced?

If anything just drop one of the 3 PTRS from the Con package.
