why do we need to give every doctrine an officer?  Mirror balancing is boring?

I'll tell you all an idea about officers that REALLY makes sense...

 With all these officers and nonsense running around, who's telling me there aren't a few bad apples in the mix? You know, that one horrible-ass officer with relatives in high places who's just punching his time card on the frontlines to pad his resume? Good leaders are hard to come by, and I fear that this mod is giving a woefully inaccurate impression of the abundance of good leadership in the military ranks.

 I propose that to really make officers accurate, we implement a 35% chance at the start of every game that instead of your nice, courageous, effective officer, you get one hell of a useless mother %&$*##. I mean this guy will be one impotent clown: he'll dissapear randomly throughout the battle and you won't be able to find him, break under pressure and order all your troops on suicide missions, and sow panic and dissaray amongst your ranks.

 The best part is, you won't even know which kind of officer you have until shit hits the fan.

 Stats:

 -When you hit heroic charge, you get the opposite effect. All nearby troops slowed down, pinned automatically, and take extra damage.
 -Units near the captain/officer which suffer a casualty must pass a 10% chance of suffering the effects of vcoh propaganda.
 - All call-in off-map artillery made by the officer/captain will fall in precisely the wrong location to the one you clicked, due to the incompetent map-reading/co-ordinate finding nature of your man.
-All airborne units on the map suffer a -90% range reduction with RR's (this abillity is endemic to all captains/officers from all 4 armies).



 Perfect!

lol, you just reminded me of how much bullshit axis have had over the period of this mod ^^

[AmPM]

As opposed to Allies? Please, they are both full of equally bullshit items.

Remember Thompson Officer spam lol, or RCA in general, or old AB? Or any number of horrible broken shit doctrines including some of the current ones.

I think each doctrine should have an officer of some type. Doesn't mean it has to be an uber officer.

I say nay to everybody getting officers on the grounds that we get enough blobbing as it stands.

My RCA <3's blobs...and Groundfires snipers.

Two Bren squads + Lt = Epic infantry rape tbh. Grab a dropped LMG of some description with the Lt for more lulz.

Why not bump the officer costs and throw them into a full sized infantry squad. Ergo, its a buffed/buff giving squad that gets picked away at like any other--no more LOLHEROOFFICER who grabs a shreck and wipes out every tank on the map like fucking rambo. Would force players to USE their officers and not stick them behind a building with good-sized auras (unless you're keen on wasting 5-6 pop).

U.S. Officer with a ranger squad; Officer, Radio Dude, 3-4 rangers.
Def officer with 3 grens (oh noes, officer health would have to drop from 140 to something thats not insane)
Brits...uh, derp, LT/Capt with 4 tommies
PE gets the short end of the stick because I say so. And zooks are free.

No. Simply no.

[AmPM]

The first clue to it being a bad idea was the TheVolskinator tag....

[TheVolskinator]

OK, lets make all officers 300 HP and double def officer buffs? Seems the direction we want to go in 

[jackmccrack]

No, that's the direction YOU want to go in.
