First, just wondering everyone's opinion on pe blobing. I've seen a lot of players do it lately, even I tried it out lately and it's pretty effective, in a way pe have to blob to be effective with their infantry because of the armor, low health and small squad sizes.

No tym that was my tank nere it, its my "keep it moving" T1 that gave the yellow glow.

Tbh if Zeal makes for blobby gameplay and that's unwanted from a Dev perspective (I personally dislike blobs very much cause that means I get raped by supression or AoE) they Could change it to work like the initial draft for cohesion: health bonuses based on the number of infantry guys on the field.

Right now cohesion also buffs american blobbing by giving reduced incoming supression...if both these abilities affected infantry health but no inc. supression reduction it would not interfere with this basic tool against infantry blobsss.

That said there are downsides to blobbing that people might forget sometimes, like not being able to negate directional cover, falling prey to AoE (both damage and supression) and it being tricky to "centralize" and decentralize the blob into cover positions and "ready for blob charge" formation.

okay skip that then.

since groupteal is a SE ability (t3) i dont see th eproblem with blobbing. only SE groupzeal players get the slight blob buffs but still, smokaz is right, make it a global ability.. and +2% per man istead of only +1.2%/man (maximum of 25%)

i encourage blobbing.  That way my Churchill croc gets them all in one .

I wish more people would play PE the way they are meant to be played.

Fuck a vehicle based army. Go infantry spam!

[Armfelt]

A vehicle based army will often get gibbed by the hordes of "zook rifles", AB and ranger blobs.

IHT gets gibbed.

AC get´s gibbed.

P4 IS get´s gibbed.

But IHT still works as a bus atleast and to suppress ordinary rifles.

----

But increasing the survivability of the PE vehicles can easily make them OP because they are often fast and mostly the problem for the PE is IHT and marder pathing. It ain´t easy thinking of a balance.

no WAI vs all these vet3 ABs!

PE = Infantry spam, supported by its vehicles.

in wehr, the infantry support the tanks.

I play PE mostly,

How are they supposed to be played?

Pretty much I have Main battle tanks, marders and infantry blob, supported by an occasional MHT VHT or AC.
