Russian Engineers and Mechanics
« on: January 25, 2010, 03:52:59 AM »
Is it just me, is do Russian Engineers and even Mechanics seem to repair extreamly slow?  it took me nearly 2 minutes to heal a T34/85 up to 80% from about 20%, i said screw it its good enough and sent it back into the battle.  I dont know if this is a real 'balance' issue, but it seems that Mechanics especially, for a special unit, repair too slow for their worth.

Well sappers are a bit slower then other repair units, but Mechanics are reasonably fast and more importantly they can recover wrecks wich makes them add-hock BergerTiger with pop. of 4.
So yes, Mechanics definitely worth their money.

Yes, when you buy "Rolling Fortress" upgrade, you can recover wrecks.

in the beta recovering wracks was one of the OPd abilities ever. I hope they didn't reintegrated this like it was then.

Beta: Advanced engeneers could recover a wrack with moderate speed by only a pop cap of 4. if you buy 3 squads you have a pop cap of 12 like the bergetiger, but you recover wracks 3 times faster. THAT IS OP

btw, they repair like hell.

I do think that there needs to be something to fill the void where the "rolling fortress" ability was.  Any ideas?

Ohh, in the name of Stavka, stop jumping on every S unit that is`s O P . Its becoming boring. Yes, they are 4 pop, yes they can recover wrecks, but let me see a battle where Mechanic can defeat at least pios!? They die very very quickly and posse no combat threat, while Berger can really take a punch...Learn to play already

On the other hand, I have had two Mechanics squads wiped out by two mortar shots. It takes a hell of a gun to take down a Bergetiger.

i have no problem with the recover of wracks, i have the problem with more then one unit recovering the same wrack at high speed, while no morter could be set to kill them.

Well the germans will have to destroy the wrecks of soviet union tanks as allies have to do against PE.  :)

This is just insane. I can take a new faction copying things from other factions to create their new identity, like copying Heroic Charge for officers. Kinda makes sense.

But copying this is RETARDED. Stop stealing EVERYTHING from the other factions, for God´s sake!

What faction has infantry that can recover wrecks?
