My soldiers sometimes act like they are drunk, wobble and hard to control
I get potted even though crouched behind sandbags while reloading
I was firing from an MG on sandbags and then get the “you’re out of bounds message”, then get shot by someone almost in front
After getting a shot off I almost got targeted immediately and blasted
In one Map (Vaux) my squads were getting smashed by snipers and others however, when I tried to defend by assaulting the enemy, the message “you’re out of bounds” kept coming up.
(they can shoot you but you can’t attack them?)
Many thanks for your reply. But every time I tried to counter snipers by attacking their position the “you’re out of bounds” message kept coming up. If they can kill you even from far away, you should be able to react and defend yourself if you don’t have any snipers to cover the range. Seems out of balance to me.
Which is why you need a sniper squad. But there is a limit on how many infantry squads you can bring by default and snipers are less than ideal for most situations. So, you need more slots to accommodate a sniper squad. For which, you need gold.
It’s not unbalance. It’s one of those ways the game can profit. Which is a good thing as far as I am concerned.
There are other ways by which you can counter snipers. Engineers, artillery, tanks, planes but what’s common in all of this is teamwork. Which is sadly absent in the game.
Forcing people to pay to be competetive or able to do something so basic as fighting back is a good thing? How? That is called P2W which is not healthy for the game at all.
There are other ways to counter. Maybe a bit difficult but the counter is not absent if you don’t have extra squad slots. The extra squad slots is a convenience at best.
I am not of opinion that it is perfect. But this game has to make money. And the extra squad slots is one way to do it without having it’s effects as pronounced as the other monetization practices in place while not being completely useless either.
If there was a way to see it completely gone, I would have absolutely wished to see that happen. But these things are expected in a F2P game.
There was a great megathread after initial community outrage about possible solutions and pricing… and to be honest people were quite generous despite expectations. Sadly, thread was hidden and is no longer accessible.
I will summon @5762269 for clarification of this as it was his thread but in short, there are other ways how to monetize games without making them P2W.
Thank you. I find that my snipers don’t last very long (life) when I make use of them and proper placement takes too much time for too little rewards. Will try to make better use of Engineers and Artillery. Don’t do planes and rarely use tanks as I find most fun is with playing Infantry.
