Scikar posted:One thing I've never seen answered: why does the Spetz RPO have twice the suppression of any other napalm rockets? In practice it kind of evens out in combat because they have the RPK, but if that gets buffed in an MG rebalance and they keep their ability to stunlock enemy infantry they are going to get ridiculous. The others fire faster and have a higher DPS. The difference used to be more noticeable before napalm launchers got repeatedly nerfed into the ground however.

Out of curiosity, do we know if any new DLC or patches are set to add more multi maps?

There's a dude in the units thread on their forums that threatened to have the entire Russian community quit the game because no S-300. Talk about a win/win.

Lmao, genuine, non-whiny topics about the Patriot (started by notorious NATO fanboys no less) are being merged into the whine threads and then locked by MadMat.

I called him a vatnik yesterday in the offtopic forums when he was being a poo poo-head, and he said "Thats pretty much the same as calling a black a friend of the family. I would punch you in the teeth IRL!" It was glorious.

I can't get over how every patch is like some sort of new space-anime season with ever-increasingly OP poo poo being added in. You'd think at this rate eventually they will add railgun ships and BigDog squads armed with Mk19s and .50s. Just like the jump from ALB to RD, what were once basically endgame bosses (2A4s and T-80Us) are now rolling around in 4-blocks and relatively not as dangerous. And now we are getting a patch adding in super-SAMs and a super-IFV for a nation with already the strongest mechanized force in the game. When are they gonna add some dumb scrub-tier units, like giving the M35 back to the US or US guardsmen armed with M14s and LAWs. Imagine taking a modern RD deck and all its units back to a beta ALB match.

Eugen should just go ahead and make a Wargame set in 2060 or something. Then they can just add in whatever they think is cool without having to worry about realism.

You don't seriously believe that sci-fi nerds would be any better, do you? If anything, they'll be worse, between the "railguns can not accelerate beyond 8 km/s, this game is physically UNREALISTIC"-crowd and the "I read an article about <concept> so we should totally have heat-seeking asteroids as a deployable unit, it's only realistic"-group.

To be fair about the Marder 2, it really should have been in from release. One of the most notable omissions of any unit in the game, up there with the M2 ADATS as a unit that was ready for production before the wall fell. The side fact that PGrens and Marder Is are way too cheap isn't really connected to that. Mazz fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Aug 31, 2014 |

What do people do with Commonwealth infantry? It kind of forces you to play heli rush because you have all these 300kph transport copters and pretty underwhelming land transport (the IFVs look alright but the RD battleground is not the place for ten point line infantry).

And which that fit in their insane time frame? The Type 96/98 is the only big one I've ever seen talked about. Which I agree is right up there with the Marder 2. EDIT: And the Javelin, but we've been down that road multiple times before and the devs actually get mad when it's brought up at this point.

If there's a nato country that needs an updated IFV, it's not Germany. France could use that 1990s IFV family a lot more than Germany needs more better Marders.

But that French 90s IFV does not exist. If it did then yes, I'd agree. Just because PGrens are too good doesn't really justify omitting a very real asset to the German deck. It means you should fix the price of that infantry.

Strong helo assault, obviously, and I've had some success backing that up with the Aussie flame infantry, commandos in LAVs, and UK or CAN line inf to get the IFV. But you're right, they don't get good infantry-transport pairings on the ground.

I disagree about commonwealth having bad transports. Canadian Bison are pretty nice. I'll grant you their IFVs aren't much to phone home over though.

They have fast transports, I like the ASLAV as well but once they drop off their dudes they aren't useful for much with an M2.

Though, wouldn't a better buff to France's mechanized-assault capability (insofar as it needs a buff) be to give them some 15-20pt shock Pgrens equivalent that can come in -10Ps? Or make Chas '90 more useful in cities (CQC gun?). I suppose the equivalent for Commonwealth would be giving Canadian Airborne or Highlanders access to the TH495.

I like fusiliers 90, perhaps in warriors. With all the tanks round these days having access to plenty of high AP RPGs for a reasonable price is no bad thing. Players aren't really shy about driving their heavy tanks into forests any more, because they know that they can afford to trip over a couple of squads armed with low end RPGs or a special forces squad with a good RPG and still do a bit of damage before backing out to repair. But with fusiliers 90 you can afford to have several squads with good RPGs without breaking the bank, which presents tanks with much more of a problem. They're not the most cost effective squad for fighting other infantry, but they can do it.

Having an IFV with Leopard 2 levels of armor is going to be hilarious. I'm still mad about Scandinavia not getting Leopard 2s though, especially now that they won't even have the best IFVs.

Just a reliable source. Anyways, the Swedes are going to rock a Leo 2A4 with modern ammo and FCS. It'll be hella sweet, and give them a heavy on par with at least the Leclerc. I was just worried about getting people in trouble, is all.
