I would say that this should wait until the doctrines are done.

However, vet as it is now is good, levels 4 and 5 could be interesting, but not cosmetic or they are meaningless. They don't have to be large changes, but something like:

Panzer 4 Vet 4: MG42 mount deals an extra 10% damage
            Vet 5: Heavy Crush 20s/240s

[bbsmith]

Well if you don't want to do it that's fine. What I'm really looking for is a general layout of how the Vet should be. Numbers can always be fine tuned and tweaked later on.

CHANGE THE NAME OF THE UNIT!

[sheffer]

i like an  idea of choosing specific skin for high veted unit

[lionel23]

Skin or name change, i prefer name change to put yourself on the damn field! It's what made games like X-Com so personal, naming your units gives you a sense of ownership.

[Smokaz]

My X-com 1 commander was unbeatable. He mind-controlled ethereals from spawn. His reaction shots always raped face.

[Demon767]

Exactly. NAME CHANGE NAME CHANGE NAME CHANGE!!!!

Vet 10-40-80 (XP) for lvls 1-2-3 is too damn high for Armed Schimmvagen

[MultiDoc]

Vet 10-40-80 (XP) for lvls 1-2-3 is too damn high for Armed Schimmvagen

+1

Also a rework on the requirements for the Kettenkrad (4-16-32) especially since it cant kill anything, so getting any vet at all is almost fictional

And the requirements for the Support Grens please (10-40-80)

+1 squad member...bad idead,just encourages blobing...

dude its vet 5 , 240 xp..... last thing is supposed to be elite/ hard to get..... try getting pgs to 240 xp , you should have a noticable reward for this imo.

and how this encourages blobbing more than people blob currently ? lol

[smurfORnot]

if u give axis extra man,soon you will have to give it to allies cuz they will whine how it's not fair,and u dont need 7man ab/rangers squads running arround 

lol,240xp...u expect them to live that long

[nugnugx]

no no , every unit would have smth that goes along with that unit to keep them happy






edit: vet 5 maybe could be like a 'small doctrine' ability , something not powerfull but maybe something interesting.

for example :commando vet 5  'commandos now drop on parachutes without drift and sound notification'

[TheIcelandicManiac]

lol,240xp...u expect them to live that long

my best ranger that i ever had was with 357 xp   and i just lost an ranger that had 260 xp yesterday.

[Artekas]

There's a humongous difference between Panzergrenadiers and Rangers.

[smurfORnot]

yea...you can compare volks to storms also   

mine storms had 567xp..and I lost them only cuz of the wipe...

[nugnugx]

overall vet 5 i think is a good idea, it gives more persistency aspect as its rather easy to vet 3 with some units now,, and upping vet 5 to high xp levels will give more reason to play when your company is maxed  out and making vet 5 'elite' and giving it some cool things would be preferable imo.


I can see the rage of people though , when their 300 xp inf or 600 xp vet 5 tank will get retreat killed 

[smurfORnot]

it would definately be a nice thing 

[8thRifleRegiment]

maybe... at vet 5 you can name yer unit.....or custom skin or sounds.
