Just had an interesting thought. What if we could use PP to buy more into the pool? You'd have the inf/veh/arm/supp and you can pay so, 10 pp  to get maybe, 4 more to your pool you've got already.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

If you oversupplied by 4 pp per match, in ten matches you would have spent 40 pp.  With Tym's idea you would spend 10pp and get 4 extra pool forever.  It's worth discussing.

I dont like it.

Your trying to circumvent a system that keeps you from spamming units.

It's not even about spamming units. Like in some companies, there are lower pool costs for a certain one depending on what you have. So like in Infantry, I can only go with like, 4 shermans i think cuz the armro pool is 12 if i remember and shermans are 4. Well, i want another sherman cuz i can afford it but i can go over and use say 4 pp and get it but shermans die...a lot. that pp is wasted.

I know it might promote more spam possibly but at the same time, it will allow you to cater it to your taste, permanently rather than maxing out an account and then being able to spam with the extra PP.

Then also, you can limit it to just one pool being able to be bought so it's just not crazy.

Even if the pool advantage was considered - 10PP is a big slap in the face.  Itd be at least 11PP.

Seriously though, probably a one off choice, +4, 50PP.

I rally dislike the pool system we have now; it just doesn't work. The extra 10 reserve pool is way too much. Even on an AB company, you can take five Shermans, and still even have some Reserve left over.

I dont really like this idea. It does break the anti spam protection. Even if you level 9 who cares, you dont deserve to spam. I dont want to go from seeing 10 t17 and 10 atgs to seeing 12 t17s and 12 atgs in a spam game.

'It just doesn't work'... for you maybe? (And shouldn't you be glad about that?)
I know for a fact some people struggle to stay in supply, and it does in fact work to address spam. (5 shermans is not really spam)

If you build a balanced company you won't have it affect you, that's intented...

How is five Shermans not overboard on an AB company?

I think someone should give me access to a full level 900 PPs US Armor coy so I can buy 25 capping T17s on top of some AT guns. To remind people what spam is.

iirc the Advantage System allow 3 choices at level 2, 2 choices at level 5 and 1 choice at level 8. If a pool advantage is added, player have to sacrifice one of those advantages to purchase it.

If you want to anti-spam, the only mean should be hardcapping for each units. My army got a good variations of anti-infantry, anti-armor, mine-plant, spotter and indirect attack, only found that they all cost support pool.

On a related issue, as SE the support supply of 14 is retarded.

It includes: munition half-track, Mortar half-track, Vampire half-track, Light half-track, 50mm half-track, Hotchkiss stuker, Hummel, Mine sweeper squad and support scout car.

Thats 9/21 of the units available to PE, and its all from the support pool which is only 14.

am i only one that thinks that's seriously fucked up, btw im in over supply 7, with light easy to kill half-tracks.
