Gray zone infiltration rework

Since the release of Guerrilla class, we starting to have ability to get behind the enemy line.
But there’s still many unit that “should” be able to do that but can’t due to balance issue.
Therefore I suggest a deeper mechanism than simply decide yes/no a squad can go into gray zone
That is: a infiltration timer
Video Project
Now the squad which have this mechanism will see a timer when you get into enemy grayzone

  • if you were still in gray zone when the timer is ended, it will apply the old grayzone penalty (screen turning gray, kills you in a few secend)
  • you can reset the timer by step back to the combat zone
  • step into enemy spawn will still kill you, Ignoring the timer
  • the timer won’t protect you if the soldier get a anti tank weapon

Guerrilla and Saboteur will have a 3 minute timer that is enough to destory enemy tank or make an ambush

Paratrooper, silcened sten/mp40 squad, bike squad will also have 1 minute

Scout car and light TD like M8 Greyhound, M18 Hellcat, sdkfz234/2 puma, BA11 will have a 30 secend timer to allow you rush in and kill the armor camper

More squad or vehicle can also be benefit by this cause it expand another dimension of balancing

You know what, I think the gray zones on some maps are still poorly designed.
Especially that warning that pops up every time you step in, which always messes up my aim.
At the end of the day, it’s also because the maps are just too small.

Your idea is really good.
Those special changes you suggested for different classes would make the gameplay much better.

This class is so bad in reality performance wise it does not need a nerf… all elope will do is just reset the timer.

We can all agree it’s annoying having enemies roaming around in your back lines but a tip… if you’re not in your back lines you can’t get killed by enemy infiltrators… if you’re actively pushing their lines it doesn’t affect you personally at all.

The timer is to reminder Guerrilla player to come back to the front line and stop them from ambush forever
You won’t want your teammate just doing nothing behind enemy line, we only got 10 player for a team in this fast pace game

Guerrilla fighters can use the countdown system, but other combat units cannot, which affects the game’s balance.
