Soviet needs HeavyWeapon Recrewing Upgrade.
« on: June 02, 2010, 02:40:11 PM »
In EF Mod, Soviet Infantry can't pick up Heavy weapon like HMG, Mortar, AT.

Yeah, I Think that this is good choice. but I think wrong that soviet infantry can't pick up until game is over. in historical Viewpoint, soviet army would be more trained as time went on. also infantry would be trained about Heavy weapon.

So, I suggest Recrewing upgrade. Recrewing upgrade can research in Soviet Armoury. when upgrade is finished, Soviet Infantry will be able to pick up Heavy Weapon like AT, Mortar, HMG. Thinking about cost of this upgrade is yours.

I want to be accepted my suggestion in next patch.

Yeah, that would be great, but you forgot about tiny problem. SOviet's can't recrew heavy weapons because of BUG, which devs can't fix. So adding upgrade is pointless.

I was wondering... question to Devs, can you split squads by code? I mean, if you have a squad of Shock Guards, you can split them into two squads of 3 after an upgrade?

My idea is if possible, exploit this bug; so, that the soviets can salvage weapons, and instead of getting ammo they get the weapon previously salvaged as free upgrade(like the ones of strelkys, DP and PPSH), and when purchased the squad would be splited(and one of them treated like that bugged soldier), and you should reinforce them to get the weapon.

EDIT: Maybe a little offtopic, but you should check the condition to unlock IS-2, When playing on this "playground" to get the screenshots, I do the follow:

Engineer x 2
Commisar
Engineer 1 -> Red Army Mustering Tent
Enigneer 2 -> Armoury
Conscripts x 4
Engineer 1 -> Soviet Support Barracks
Engineer 2 -> Tank Hall
Tank Hall -> Light Armor Upgrade -> And after that IS-2 still locked.

However I lost the sight of it and later IS-2 was available... Could it be that the upgrades on Support Barracks to unlock their units unlocks also IS-2???

Wow this guy is clueless.

Hurdurr I'm gonna ask for recrewing like it's an easily added feature even though the devs had said multiple times on these forums and other websites that they can't because of the way the engine works.

I'm pretty sure this point has been brought up enough times to be able to find it easily. It's also on the faq somewhere, which should've been his first stop. Can this be locked as there is clearly no point?
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
