I think should grant +25% range. Defensive doctrines like to fight at range and dont like to get picked off from a distance sitting in a trench

[Mysthalin]

I think you either missed the part where it was decided range boosts to direct fire units are never going to happen again, or didn't quite grasp the concept.


+25 percent range would be retardedly OP mate.

[TheLastArmada]

yeh 25% range would be quite op
say grens have 50 range
25% of 50 >12.5
62.5 range

[Mysthalin]

Grenadiers normally have 35 range on their rifles - this would raise to 43.75. Stack this with omniscience, or even advanced warning - and you have grenadiers that can see further and outrange HMGs.

LMGs have 40 range, which means they'd raise to 50 : you'd basically be able to shoot back at a max-range sniper, and nearly have the same range as a brittish mortar.

Not to mention a range buff would affect short and medium range as well - effectively improving the DPS of the unit overall.

i dont see why range could be raised. ok maybe less like 12.5% range buff

[Mysthalin]

Because range buffs invert the natural counter roles of units. Even a 12.5 percent buff to range would allow grenadiers to outrange .30 cals.
