This is what I have thought out for my Airborne Doctrine thus far. It still needs a lot of work, but some of my basic ideas are here, don't be too harsh as it's just my brain storm thus far, but I might have ideas that other people like that they would throw into their doctrine drafts.


ABI = Airborne Infantry (those that get satchels, RRs, and grenades) (the light .30 will be taken out of AB, AB need to be on the move to be effective, should be moved to infantry or armor)
ABR = Airborne Riflemen (the unit that got taken out. the new one will be like ABI, except the only upgrade they get (other than from other doctrine upgrades) will be grenades. They will start off with garands and SL will have a thompson. They will also be less pool cost than regular AB.

Tier 3x2: Improved LVs

M8 for 40mu can purchase AP rounds with 50% more penetration and 10% more damage (2x uses)

Tier 3x3: Leg Bags
-Ability: Upgrade for ABI and ABR
-Description: ABI can buy garands + grenades for 50mu, ABRs can purchase 3 BARs for 135mu (these BARs would have SF on them, for balance sake they could be 120mu w/o SF)

[Scotzmen]

ABR's gaining 3 bars for a purchase of 110 munis? seems a little imbalanced. Considering 2 bars at 90 munis is 45 munis a piece. It should at the very least be 135. Then you have excellent bars on a already pretty decent type of troops aswell, who can fireup and recieve less incoming accucary due to there armour. I dont know man, maybe 2 bars for that price would be well suited.

[lionel23]

Also, will these bars have suppression or will it be removed?  If it's bars with no suppression, I'd pay 135 for 3 of them, with suppression then I agree with Scotz that a price increase is in order, though for different reasons.

[deadbolt]

i believe calling it a brain storm is politically incorrect now.

[RikiRude]

Oh these were supposed to be the BARs w/o suppression, I think a price increase would make sense. 120mu, but 135mu for BARs WITH suppression makes more sense.

[Unkn0wn]

I like trip (flare) mines, or the general idea of having mines that would put you in negative cover for a short duration.

[RikiRude]

updated a bit, now to actually PLAY some eirr.

[Poppi]

seems cool.

I like it when there isnt a tier i dont care for.
If i chose one of them i will quickly reset and choose another one to test it out.

Maybe AB shouldnt have the option for suppression at all with bars. As maybe a bit much for a unit to suppress,kill, and sprint away. They arent that good without suppression so cheaper price would make sense. LMG just SUCKSSSSS. That has to go

Be cool if they had greaseguns, but ya op... or maybe just too useful. Or maybe its not. And the idea of a l33t US airborne while easy to counter... sounds too scary?


how does "Open supply lines!" work? Button?

not sure about "provide surrounding troops with a faster run speed for tanks". I like it but imbalanced? maybe cover bonus? or is that worse? BUt hey if there are units that can throw 6 grenades in 2 seconds whatevs.

[RikiRude]

updated, its near completion i just need some input on ideas to round it out.
