Hi guys! I've looked at your comments on balance.
  • I tend to agree with you that the Sovs can come up with many counters to cover the lack of all those wonderful AC's in the Soviet TO&E. Seems like a shame to consign them to oblivion because they a just "historical and not a game" though.
  • @GlD. Lumping the infantry recce types into the argument doesn't hunt on the larger wide open maps like Prokorovka. It can take an infantry group 5 minutes to march, not infiltrate across the map. I don't think a 5 minute G2 lag for the Sovs is really balanced do you?
  • @vonklaus: PE: Ket, SC, AC, Funk, IHT IIRC are all cheaper and faster than the T70/T90 series and not OP in any way.
@neodark Have a good time on your holiday. If you will be in the vicinity of THe forks of the Juniata and Susquehanna Send me a PM. The bandwidth limitations in the boondocks of PA are an OBamanation. (one of his campaign promises was broadband in every home). Alas it will probably be a broken promise.

The illumination flares would be a great idea as an active mortar ability. Sorry BlackBishop.
