We need more infantry in eir, every game now is mainly heavy tanks and medium tanks duking it out through whole game.
Panther/ tiger/ pershing starts are the norm.

[Demon767]

no.

nug makes good post ?!!

God, it just pains me to see Nug post....... and he is right......

We kinda screwed the game with all the repairs and cheap vehicles. Tanks should be rare, not the core of a company.

Tanks are fine but they are all heavy class vehicles. Mediums are outright garbage.

[Tymathee]

exactly. you made panthers cheaper and tigers and pershings buffier, what did you think would happen?

[Jodomar]

The grass is always greener on the other side.............

Well, it depends on what you guys want.

Heavies were meant to be the endgame vehicles from the warmap perspective right? Usually endgame stuff is supposed to be used alot more. And thier isn't really any endgame infantry other than flammer grens.


Now, come to realize, that we arnt actually in endgame yet Who is anywhere close to having a complete company? No one.

If you consider heavies to be endgame tanks where infantry dominates most of the war, then heavies were researched way too early in the war. Needs to have some sort of time period where you can't get t3 unlocks and so forth.


Now, if you take it from the perspective that endgame tanks shouldn't have such a presence on the field and that infantry should have a larger presence even in the last stages of the war, you can go ahead and lower overall fuel. Or if you want to focus on heavies as the issue you can increase the price slightly.

cool, 4man kch at vet 3 parading around the field just owning everything was always fun playing vs.

[skaffa]

Not more inf.

Just less tanks.

[aeroblade56]

i got a 120 rifles with vet 2.  its not very cost effective.

That what you've seen in the last game. 

[AmPM]

Infantry is boring, need more tanks.

[TheVolskinator]

Take the BKmod approach. You can either tech up your company or purchase tank chassis to make armor available. Ergo, do I want the Infantry Bipods T2 or that shiny Hellcat chassis?

[hans]

well in my opinion u have to be innovative in ur decisions what u call in. If i start with armour like a panther, or shermans, or m10s ..., its sometimes more effective and surprising than using inf. Inf is slow and not overwhelmingly strong...

If your worried about heavy armour starts run a scouting start and have an alternative core to deal with it.

Same thing you'd do if you were genuinely wanting to take advantage of the chance of being on the defence. You make an alternative core focused on support weapons, engineers, etc.

Personally I rarely run heavy armour starts due to the high chance of them going pear-shaped. Most of the real hard AT and disablers get fielded earlier in the game with late game reliance leaning on handheld AT and ATG's (Or Marders) due to their ability to last.

Running right into an LATHT with treadbreaker loaded to go with your Pershing or Croc is a bitch. As is running on a rapidly placed Teller, or falling victim to a Volks slow mine, etc, etc... Rinse and reverse for Axis Panther/Tiger starts with appropriate Allied disabler counters.

I agree with some other here, I used to like infartry more than tanks but... welll... Tank micro is simply more fun to play around with, and mediums dont suck, got all those vetted croms for a reason.

[deadbolt]

[Hicks58]

I don't like it when you make sense Deadbolt. It scares me.

Why cant you just put a silly picture and invoke the wrath of the mods resulting in lulz?
