Who to Capture with?
« on: December 03, 2009, 01:58:52 AM »
A question dawned on me today.  Every faction so far has a unit that caps faster then the rest (Riflemen, Grenadiers, Recon squad, kettengrad) and I was wondering who that is going to be with the Soviets?

Personally I am hoping this role will be filled with the Strelky

 Quick capture. I heard it would be the elite guards.
 Tank riders. So it's logical, kinda. Plus, it's in the same vein
 as they being 'latecomers' (ie : No starting units).

I think I know what statement your referring to and i don't belive you read it correctly. I think Burro (or Warty) meant their mobility was good for capping.

As for late comers, all the other factions quick captures come in mid-game latest, those being the Gernadiers. I can see how that would align with the Soviet style, but I don't think the best infantry unit should have the best capture rate. No other faction does this

 PE is bike.
 Americans get rifleman (first unit out just about)
 British sniper (First unit out)

 Wehr is middle.
 soviet is latest. Can a dev confirm that tank riders will be
 able to capture (T34 capturing a flag) like the British Bren
 carrying infantry?

 That certainly would fit very nicely. Thanks.

 And it's not a question of wether other factions do or not,
 every faction is supposed to be different, having a flavor.
 That is part of soviet 'flavor'.

Interesting point. Within the game, most of the capturing is done by Ingenery and Conscripts.

However, about who has the fastest capture? I have no idea. Would be best for Apex or a programmer to answer this question for you.

I was just wanting to know, since I prioritize caps based on this fact. Ex. I have a volks and a gernadier squad just clear a point, I have the volks set up sandbags and gernadier squad capture it. I want to know who it is for the soviets so I can get the most out of them

 - VoopBakon : Hey, awesome Voop :) You can do this with
 2x sets of grens, too. I usually do this with Rifles/engineers
 (US), never thought of doing it with Wehr. Sad PE can't
 (Luftengineers/PEGren could, though) Awesome idea, I like!
 
 - Wartyx : I vote you give +cap speed upgrade to Flag
 Strelky (Upgraded) and upgraded Guards/Tank Riders.

 Awesome that Tank Riders can cap (you mean T34's
 infested with infantry, though, yes?). Would be in line
 with slow early russians, but then rabidly catch up end-game
 ;)

So no one had any idea? I tried messaging Apex to no avail. I just want to know if a higher capture rate has been implemented and with which unit

Ingenery, Conscripts, Strelky and Guards all have a cap rate of 1.5.

 !!! Ooh, that's important info, though.
 Very good to know

 Doesn't sound like soviets are a slow start race after all :)
 They're more like PE!

We've lowered the build times significantly on infantry units too... how that will affect balance we're yet to discover... but now its even quicker to amass an army of conscripts. ;D

 Yea, it should be interesting :)
 Conscripts now have a use !!
 
 - Lowered build time on infantry units... Ah, make it a call-in
 instead? / Look at my Ural Mountain suggestion? Slow in beginning then gets more interesting as it is developped :)
