Profile of GachiGasm

And with Raid Sections having a good all round profile that would make them easier to play with than the static IS, and with both not having snares anyways, the latter wouldn't be an unlikely scenario.

Because UKF is so hard to play to begin with

It feels like, Raid sections are a brilliant idea of someone very vocal in dev team, since you guys already tried to push this agenda of having them in the game in patch. Now you slapped them into a top pick commander.

Still, alright lets say they are indeed just a different way to play UKF and be less static, but can you elaborate why having them as a replacement, or close to be a replacement justifies the fact that they are allowing you to skip all side tech?

If one can play with all the tools UKF have in the beggining he can replace IS with Raid sections and save hell of a lot MP and Fuel. Why it should be in this way to begin with?

This decision pretty much introduced the commander that potentially can fuck up the way faction resource management works.

Its also funny to see mention of osttroppens in the same post, because as we all know power of osttroppens came from not from their combat perfomance, but from the fact that they allowed faction to do major res.skips, allowing snowballing and fucked up timings.

So in the end we have a commander with:
1) Flames on engis
2) One of the strongest CQC inf
3) Inf which allows you to skip tech
4) Rocket arty

Like come-on, is this UKF player wet dream of something?

There is no real reason that a faction with as many docs as Ostheer can't make 4 LeFH docs work.

Because balance team decided that only 2 docs for both Ost and Sov should have access to howis. While alright as it is, the fact that soviets have ML-20 in 2 good docs, while Ost have only 1 doc that can be usefull, while Joint Opperations are kinda overloaded support weapon garbo.

If anything LeFH should go from joiunt opperation to a different com or Joint Opperation should be remade to be on the same level as Sturm Doc

I agree about CAS, however encirclement did get some adjustments made to the vehicle territory capture ability. Although maybe you saw that and are wanting more changes. idk

I did see it, but point is all commanders have a value. In other words, for example OKW luftwaffe commander. This commander oveall was objectively very weak in terms of its abilities, only Fallshims and Valliant assault, are so good, that it was worth picking commander just because of them.

Encirclement main ability is Close the pocket. Thats it, outside of this ability, this commander is garbo. You have camo in much better commanders, you have stormtroopers in better commanders.

Breakthought and Break Supply Line are both made to work towards CTP, they objectively have no value outside of it.

You wont be able to do it, against even bad player who know how it works on the best map possible for it, simply because caches counters this commander completly.

In other words, aside from being a meme against players who fucked up, there is no reason to play with it.

And what could be done with it? The whole point of this commander is a memology of Close the pocket. Aside from it, commander has no value what so ever.

If anything it needs full scapping and turning it into something different, other then that it falls into the same category with CAS commander.

I think part of it is that the G43 upgrade, while being geared mostly for close-range, is still a fairly "universal" upgrade, in that the squad still has effectiveness at all ranges. Riflemen already have that same design, and due to being more expensive, will pretty much strictly be better than G43 Grens.

Its a universal upgrade, which you realistically want only on maps which wont allow you to use LMGs to great effect + G43 cost was 45 muni. Now its a 60 muni, and you still cant win against Rifles and you still properly win against Tommies. On top of that in late game your G43s grens will be infirrior to pretty much any other mainline, even Reserves cons will give you nasty bleeding.

In comparison; the PPSH upgrade is strictly a close-range package (and Obers are a long-range focused squad), so PPSH cons being able to beat a "better" squad by taking advantage of their preferred range is fairly logical.

Thing is, cons are already close to mid range inf. Like sure, they lose some long range DPS, but in a real scenrario who are they supposed to fight at long range? They ideally only want to keep range against CQC inf like PGs\SPs\Ass.grens. Other then that, you always want to be as close as possible with them. Not to mention that they are even beating un-upgraded Ass.grens with PPSH now.

Point is PPSH is direct improvement, for the range cons are best used on.

I agree that Gren G43s kind of just need scrapping, and a different design for that upgrade be considered. Honestly; a suggestion someone made that they could become a Light Infantry squad with a single JLI G43 (Or a weaker version, with a lower crit HP%) is possibly worth considering, though I don't know the balance implications of having both a Light Infantry squad and a Sniper. (I'd argue that all factions should have both, or one or the other nondoctrinally, however.)

Not sure about JLI like G43, but over-all G43 need to affect 2 things in order to have reason to exist:
1) Improvement for long-mid range, where grens already shine
2) Giving mobility to not overlap with MG43. But this is already the case.

They dont need to have an upgrade which makes them into second volksgrenadiers, decent at everything but good at nothing.
