needed changes
« on: January 21, 2010, 09:48:20 PM »
just have played 4 games but the pe/soviet mu seems unwinable for the pe guy

some imo neccessary changes.

1. most important imo: the command squad can call down the flares and then move to cancle the animation = infinit flares one never knows when its a real arty strike or a fake strike = really gamebreaking bug/balance issue

2. penetration values of all the russians seems very high mb reconsider them (ihts/ketten go down even faster than vs riflemen/tommies)

3. t70 dmg to hts of any kind (looks like same dmg modifiers like stuart wich are completely retarded)

4. the outpost seems not to be destroyed without heavy weapons ( e.g. shreck tankgun etc)
check the replay i attached where small arms fire could not bring it down
(the game was a match between me and a decent player. the first 3 games i was pe and lost all of them, then we switched sides and he lost)

5. guards smoke ability is on "R" wich does not go well since "R" is allready used for reinforcing them

on 3: it's slower and you get it later than stuart also it doesn't have canister so its not unbalanced

on 4: the outpost go down with just a schreck or pak shot and it costs 250 manpower, compared to a building or bunker that is far from good.

Everything else i can agree on and PE are not made for 1v1 and momentarily a bit underpowered so its hard to win against any army.

I TOTALLY agree with this statement. I think balancing the Soviet forces against PE would be a disaster should relic get off their duff and actually fix PE, and who knows what PE strategies arise that DO make PE doable vs the russians in the mean time.

Yes but the outpost is not the real problem it's the mortar.
