A bland manpower increase is only going to give you more unupgraded troops, not affecting the balance of AT vs Vehicles.

Don't forget the perception of 'light vehicle spam' can also stem from:
- Too much fuel units in comparison to other resources and units fielded

Tell yourself that 

[Demon767]

But i believe in that the new availability system is flawed ATM, i know it shall be fixed, but i second that vehicles need to be fixed, hey i just put in 6 M18's and 4 M8s and im bloody Airborne you know

Go ahead, do it, and then tell me you don't have an insane PP bleed each time you play a game.

it doesnt cost me 1 pp and i have 5 airborne RR's and 2 ats Mgs and mortars with Bar rofles.

[Tymathee]

you wanna know a gimmick company? Try the defacto AB company BITD (back in the day) Basically...Airborne and Shermans/Crocs thats was all.

My Infantry company? Rifles with BARS and Rangers, some at guns a couple hmgs maybe a mortar and that was it.

armor? 2 callies a bunch of light vehicles 4 at guns and a crap load of rifles.

Oh and you guys never saw the 50 rifle company that killer used to run  that was it. Rifles with nades, bars and stickies and that was it.

Then there wasw my special 3 callie company, that was fun.

or then there was the tank/superior command 10 sherman company and rifles, that was all...

you guys are so spoiled...

[Tymathee]

EIR:R is so much more balanced and fun than the old EIR.

[Malevolence]

I had an eight howitzer company, double-calliope with DRR company for extreme spawn kill cheese on RTC, gamesguy and I had like 28 volk assault spam company with dual tiger and repair bunker with conviction...

You don't know what spam IS

[AmPM]

I love the cries of spam today....it usually when 3-4 squads of the same type appear on field. People have no idea.

I miss having 8 HMGs, 4 PAKs, 2 Mortars and 2 Nebels + Shit ton of upgraded infantry and 12 STuGs.

You only have 5 ABs squads in your whole damn AB company.... that's ok for you?

In 007 I ran with only 5 AB.  You dont need 9 AB to make a successful company.  9 AB +14 rifles+ 6 flamers just makes AB overpowered.

[CrazyWR]

the same thing that counters 5 AB counters 9 AB...

[Killer344]

The same thing that counters 1 kt counters 3 kts...

[EIRRMod]

Hard Cap... no oversupply values...

then you'd just see identical companies from everyone  that plays each faction.  Give or a take a unit or two here or there.

If you Hardcap every single unit yes, but afaik the devs only intend to hardcap a few units

Yep, Hardcaps will only be applied to certain units - Extra Heavies, and possibly snipers.

[Tymathee]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not he sniper, you mean i can't have more than 1 now....

seriously, who carries more than 2 snipers?

[EIRRMod]

No lol, snipers wouldnt be capped at 1.

At AT gun, a sticky squad, and an M10 can take on 3 KTs? Holy shit who's playing the Allied units...me?

[Aggamemnon]

Surprised no-one has mentioned it, but I think having delays on certain units would ease a lot of the grief factor.

Like snipers take 30 seconds - 3 minutes longer to deploy.
Same with Super Heavy tanks.

Especially if you could put checks in place to compound the delay.
2nd sniper takes 1 - 6 minutes to deploy
2nd Super heavy takes 6 minutes etc.

"Ok, let's put a sniper in my core to defeat Player A's grenspam start".

"Dude, get on the field!!"

"SHIIIIIIIIT"

'Player X has surrendered'

[Unkn0wn]

No one said we would limit snipers to 1 or 2.
