[1.04] A few small questions

[Topsy_Elephante]

I cannot find discussion about....

The inability for Russians to call in engineers or otherwise repair a destroyed HQ. (I've seen it mentioned a few times, but nobody says anything about it)

The inability for Russians to recapture fallen equipment. (I'm pretty much positive I've missed this discussion, but I just can't find it.)

This is my first forum post EVER, so excuse my ignorance. I'll have other balance questions after these are answered. Thank you.

yea would be nice to have some engineers to call in after the HQ is destroyed.

I think these problem will be resolute in the next patch.
Until it's done, soviet cant recrew heavy weapons, which is justified by the lack of training of soviet soldiers (but i think they should be able to recrew their own equipment lol ).
The ''call in engineers'' problem isn't a real problem because when you need it, you're already defeated!

Oooh have you ever played scheldt ? what would you do if your Hq got raped by Arty and you had no engineers left ? sure you have buildings and tons of tanks fx...

Scheldt is a noob map... only arty is ruling on... I've stop playing COH because all games were on Hochwald gap or Scheldt. I prefer use EF map, which are very good!

And on these map, I've never seen a player use call-in enginners abiliti, its almost useless: if the ennemi can destroy your HQ, it mean he have arty supporting inf and tanks, and fuel, munition, manpower... Even with allies,the game is lost (except rare occasions )

The need for an OPTION to repair a destroyed HQ still stands.

maybe on some maps, but on maps like montherme, hochwald or scheldt it happens often enough that you lose your base and your allies fight back the enemy...

i've seen it a lot of times that we lost one base and won in the end and EF is not meant to be played only on EF maps...

+1, as EF is designed as addon it should also offer the same repair option to the red army as coh offers to all the other factions

I also agree the Soviets need that call-in option.

As I consider myself a pretty good player, in team games it's sometimes possible for some players to hold off the others just long enough for someone to get their HQ back up. The player repairs his HQ and has now saved enough manpower to get back in the fight. However, this isn't the case with Russians and I have lost two games because of it.

Of course, you could just say that the teammates can repair it but when it's 1v2 or 2v3 against fairly competent enemies you need all the troops you can get, especially in lategame where all engies are required to keep you tanks running.

As for the heavy weapons, it has been stated many MANY times that the soviets cannot recrew because of Relic's hardcoding that causes crashes when a new faction recrews something. The EF team cannot possibly fix this, so Soviets have larger crews instead.

- put a advance basecap near and you ll recrew units incling at and mortars, not perfect but useful


- yes ... i also saw a mass 3 V1 strike on HQ /3v3 with a sniper view ... so the call in looks usual

Ive seen some 2v2 and 3v3 VP games (Hellfox83 on youtube) with high lvl players, where 1 HQ was destroyed (base rape, not arti) but the whole game was won.
