Call ins
« on: April 08, 2011, 11:49:42 AM »
Hello,
New to the forum and eastern front, i hope this is the right subsection but i already read and understood that the call ins have been limited because of the AI that would only spam the best units.

But still i have questions about this and i hope they can be answered.

I mostly play the PE or the US faction because they are more offensive orientated.
the problem is, the limits on call ins like the rangers, AT drop , airborne can really kill a match, specially when you play large games.
on 1vs1 or 2vs2 it is OK.

The Wehrmacht for example has so many non doctrine units that are well suited for the roll they fullfill.
The Americans have gaps in their units there is why the rangers, airborne come in....to fullfill the gaps specially for their AT role.
now most people spam these units specially rangers because they are universal but good players know how to counter them plus the upkeep is so high that a spam will be a bad idea since you will be badly crippled on MP
in need of an AT drop......ow damn, already dropped 3....your toast.

Long story short, is there any sight on if the limits will be removed or even if the AI will be fixed it will stay this way? because IMHO that is not the company of heroes like we know it is.

Other then that i wanna say the MOD is superb, certainly the best i have seen ! keep up the good work.

Hi and welcome.
 
Nobody should require more than 4 squads of rangers/airborne anyway but the limit to fallschirmjaeger and the call in arty is annoying.
The dev team have a new AI coder as of recently so the limits will probably disappear sometime soon.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Just disable the limitation, using corsix, companero, and do as you please.  ;)

Yeah, robotnik should fix many A.I. problems soon, i hope. But still, i can't see why it's not possible to only have call-in limits for the A.I. players...

Glad they are working on it.

@ godlike dennis, i agree partly with you.

People who spam elite units will get crippled in manpower so you know that they will be strugglin.

Like said on 1vs1 and 2vs2 the limit is enough, on large games if you going to encounter whermacht heavies 3 rangers or airborne supporting your m10's or 57mm's aint enough.

Relic has Designed the US faction that the airborne and rangers fill the AT support gap but with the limit it has been crippled big time.
you can't hold it with riflemen only.
But they are working on it so we just have to wait and see in the next patch (patches)
