Title: Lightning War
Post by: 8thRifleRegiment on March 17, 2011, 06:19:04 pm
Lets be honest, at first glance that whole row of doctrine stuff seems really appealing, Fast moving double repair fire while repairing tigers and -75% call ins on all yer shit and 15% accuracy boost to anything that moves ontop of accel bonuses. but the last T4 lightning war, is more or less juyst a huge sword to stab yourself with. becuase at first look, HEY COOL MY INFANTRY CAN SPRINT AT THE START FOR 60s but little do they tell you FOR THE FIRST 60 SEOCNDES ANY OF YOUR INFANTRY IS ON the field, they are completely blinded with 5m sight *facepalm* and even if you stop, the sioght doesnt come back so "hey look guys weve made it to our destination but i still cannt see shit for another 40s becuase i cannt turn it OFF". by logic, on most maps you can reach the centre of the map within 20-40 secondes without sprint, with you can reach it sometimes in ten secondes, thats an extra 50 secondes of total blindness where anything can shoot you, what the fuck kind of tier four is that, its a debeff rather then a buff. Remove the sight debuff or atleast make it manageable so my infantry cannt get killed by invisible engineers in the fog of war 10m infront of them.

bring a bike out with it? so i spot for my own units.... wow tym, its always the same bullshit soloutions to axis inconsistancies, BRING OUT another unit to assist in A FUCKING TIER FOUR I SPENT 60PP ON. it should not debuff ANYTHING, if the sight debuff is removed,id say its just about on par with the allies tier four. ALSO im getting pretty tired of this crap people always say. like "well to counter my ONE allied unit, you need to..... bring out this... and this... and this... this micro this... and this... then do this... along with this.. multiplied by the sqaure troot of 3.14, and thats how you beat *insert allied gimmick of two units* here.

Lightning war needs the debuff to be removed and thats that. its not hard, and its such an obious problem i dont know how its gone soo long without being changed.

ALSO TYM, your argument falls apart, by BRING ON A BIKE since VEHICLES ALSO GET REDUCED SIGHT FOR 60s soo... wtf am i suppsoed to do with an army of blind units....

the reduced sight for inf kinda makes sense since all sprinting inf gets less sight. a button to stop it would be nice though.

I don't understand why vehicles get less sight though.
