Ability suggestion thread:

Actually RSE is the best-fit for the RMC because of it's additional tank call ins-A weakness you have if you abuse the OP aspects of the RMC and build only T1-and T2 glider. If you have a Churchill at that point it's GG.

[Pac-Fish]

 Isn't RMC being changed with next patch . So that tactic shouldn't be as effective

[GodlikeDennis]

Yeah we'll work on it. Since the balance team is generally focused on Soviets, it may take awhile.

Hey guys back with another idea from one of my old Ostheer concepts:

Unleash the Reserves: Gives any squads in its large radius automatic reinforcement to maximum capacity and makes them fire faster, with renewed vigor, unfortunately the use of our reserves makes getting reinforcements at the headquarters or forward HQ impossible for 2 min.

This would be a last resort Plan X type of ability, but can also be used to create that final push, so you can finally finish of that pesky Soviet horde and send them all packing.

I would actually prop the recharge period for this ability to 3 or 4 mins and give it a high munitions and/or manpower cost (considering what it is this ability does)

Any opinions??

Where do those guys come from? Suddenly there like ghosts

I would rather see some Beutetanks like a german t34/76 or a german KV1. That would be cool.

[GodlikeDennis]

It wouldn't be the first unrealistic thing in CoH. Something similar would be appropriate for Fortress Troops in OH. Though, they'd come out of defensive structures rather than nowhere.

[Blackbishop]

That's obvious . We cannot reinforce entities from nowhere and I'm sure that was what neosdark thinks as well.

[neosdark]

Yeah its really like that last resort thing when you have a ton of soldiers, near your HQ or Forward HQ that need a reinforcement, so instead of paying those exuberant Manpower costs, you can pay manpower and munis to get a quick super reinforcement, that is useful for only a defensive push back, and then you have to be very careful with your troops for a period of time cause you cannot reinforce your other forces, only build new ones (which cost, of course).

It would need special coding to work only in the vicinity of a reinforcement building or some vehicles, I imagine, since reinforcement can only occur in these types of situations.

[Pac-Fish]

Sounds like reasource blitz only in the middle of a fight and it already reinforces your soldiers, rather than you retreating then reinforcing. But its kinda cool

[stealthattack1]

hmmm. its strange, but not a bad idea imo. sounds kinda like the reimburse used (killed) squads in the propaganda doctrine exept they span to your squad

* Foreign Battlegroup - 3CP (Call-in two random Foreign squads (or 1 random squad plus a random crewed weapon) and 2 Foreign Tanks)

My suggestion:

3 different foreign troops: Italians, Romanians and Hungarians

One is only Antiinfrantry based, other only antitank based and the third one mixed antiinf and antitank.

You get the call in what you need the most similar to US offmap battle group.But you will never know what exaclty you will get.

I don´t like the crewed weapon idea.


Cost: 1000mp


Antiinfantry: Romanians

• 2 x Panzer 38t
• 3 infantry squads equipped with SMG and LMG

Antitank: Hungarians

• 2 x Turan II 41M
• Toldi 41M
• 1 Antitank squads equipped with Schreck

Mixed: Italians

• Semovente M42
• Fiat SPA AB41
• 3 Infantry squads

Wait so when you activate the ability you might get 1 of 3 foreign groups . Seems very random and unpredictable to me Better hope your right or your screwed . 1000 seems like alot

Maybe you could have it sort of like 1000 MP for a random, or 1250 for a guaranteed pick.

[neosdark]

Meh, don't give them names like that, you might start the old, Why is my nation not represented here Flame War. Just call them AI battlegroup, AT battlegroup, and Mixed Battlegroup and give them units from each nation in each. For example:

Mixed Battlegroup: 1 Semovente M42
                          1 Assualt Team armed with 3 MAS 38s, and 2 FM 24/29                                   
                          1 43M Zrínyi SPG

AT Battlegroup: 1 Turan II 75mm
                      2 Panzer 38 (t)
                      1 AT Teams with 2 Solothurn S-18/100 AT-Rifles (each, with a possible upgrade to 2 Panzerschreck)

AI Battlegroup: 1 Char 2C
                     2 Assualt Teams each armed with 3 Danuvia 43M SMGs and 2 MG30
                     1 Heavy Assault Team armed with 4 Suomi KP-31s.

i agree with neosdark on this one. specific countries make me think "why do hungarians fight tanks better than romanians???" i really like the foreign call in troops though.
