Make more squads viable

[babybillygaming]

Not every squad needs to super well rounded, I think having specialist squads is cool and epic. I do think that increasing the squad limit would be nice though.

personall opinion

gunners whit low br MG (madsen, bren, dp, etc…) can be used for attack on a efficient way if you use them like this guy

[TheUnclaimedOne]

Nah. Gotta strategize what squads to take. My go go set up is super aggressive, yet versatile with a focus on AT

I have a few ideas that are up your alley of what you’re asking

Missing mortars that should be added to the Research Tree, as well as for Mortar squads to build Heavy Mortars

Light, Medium, and Heavy Mortars

These are the light and medium mortars that MUST be added to the RESEARCH TREE for all factions. (Don’t pull another make the standard American M2 Mortar an event item!) US: M1 Mortar (medium) [image] UK: Ordnance ML 3-inch Mortar (medium) [image] Germany: 8 cm Granatwerfer 34 (medium) In game Germany has the Kz 8 cm Granatwerfer 42 as its Medium Mortar. This model was a smaller development of their standard issue mortar and was made in much smaller numbers. I think the Granatwerfer 34 sh…

We don’t need a spotter class, but what we can have is Radio Operators should have a Recon Plane call-in

Recon Planes Once Again

Recon Planes would be a new Radio Operator call-in. They would not announce their presence like bombing runs, because they wouldn’t be much of a reconnaissance plane if they told you it was coming. They would be great for spotting enemy tanks, AT guns, AA guns, rally points, etc behind the frontline giving your team extremely valuable strategic information US: L-4 Grasshopper [image] Soviet Union: Polikarpov Po-2 [image] Germany: Fi 156 Storch [image] Japan: Ki-46 [image]

AT squads can get Flak Cannons as their unique squad building, and they can build stronger AT and AA guns by default

Engineer Guns and AT Squad Specialization

Infantry Support Guns should be added as a default Engineer building. Everyone always uses AT guns as their HE cannons but I think we should get a proper weapon that was specifically made for that role. Theoretically HE ammo can be removed from AT guns so you have to choose how you want to support the team, whether you build an AT or IFG. In exchange AT guns could receive more AT ammo US: 75mm Pack Howitzer M1 [image] Soviet Union: 76mm Regimental Gun M1927 [image] Germany: 7.5cm leichtes I…

Mortar squads are mostly useless, they need buffs. Instead of smoke they need WP or flame based ammunition. Also, they need unique high-caliber mortars to build or ability call that strike.

[Admiral_Wenli]

I mean I can, Like other people just put AI onto the AA gun making it an aimbot, but even myself who likes to swap between, I just listen for the aircraft engine before swapping over, since its not exactly subtle

[MR_87]

After the new update. The mortar squad will only be more vulnerable to guerrilla harassment.

[Mopuit]

Just the low br one because the high br mortar can shoot from 300 meters aways when the other one is from 265 meters max

[Mopuit]

We just have to stay in spawn with engeneer to feed ammo

[Ace_Kazankov]

fair tbh,

i have also overgeneralized and its kind of ironic since I’m considering using the squad more.

but a buff to it is definitely needed, becuase the squads are not that well balanced

[Evart]

It depends on the Squad, on the Allies im running the 109th Engineer Regiment, and it has 2AT unit in it.
Same goes for the 36th Engineer Battalion for Germany and for the 48th Pioneer for the Soviets, but indeed i need to run full Bolt Action / Semi-Auto in that case, so maybe it is less flexible in terms of small arms.

[Ace_Kazankov]

ik, my point still stands tho, a buff would be nice for the underutilized squads, so people would use them more often

[Ace_Kazankov]

exactly

[Ace_Kazankov]

Very good ideas and i think they should be added
but i still think a spotting class is needed

[Ace_Kazankov]

yeahhh…
