Unit - Reward suggestions thread:

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

^ we already have a reward unit for the ISU152, the IS3

su100 could be an upgrade for the SU85 if we get a proper model, who knows

[HyperSniper999]

Yesterday, when I was playing Soviet and call in a SU-85, I had a idea. Call-in SU-85... What about SU-100 call-in, maybe 1 or 2 SU-100 as reward units in place of IS-3 and ISU-152?
Note: this idea mostly being write here to if anybody thought about this. They could know that this idea was... (very likely) not accepted

Well, I think you can't have two reward units for one unit.

And didn't we used to have an SU-100? What happened to it? Unless I missed it somewhere...

[Pac-Fish]

Maybe we could replce the SU-85 for SU-100 and just give it weakened stats. Mainly just for eye candy

[GodlikeDennis]

SU-100 was/is being considered as an individual upgun for SU-85s.

Oh ok . Good to hear anywho . It'll be like the PE Panzer IV. Its gets an armor upgrade and a offensive upgrade

[GodlikeDennis]

That's what we were thinking, although you could only get either the upgun OR the cage armour. However, the point is moot until the model is fixed and even then we need a pretty serious discussion about it.

  I find it really annoying for the soviets to have to mg. I realize they compensate in other ways ie the d28 light mgs upgrades and  hords of inf but still annoying when your tryin to hold down a side of a map in the early stages of the game. So i thought that it might be a cool idea to give them a machingun crew and use the same machingun thats in their mg dug outs. The team would have to wheel it around like the at crew does at a faster rate of course but slower than a reg mg team so there would be a draw back to it. idk jus a thought i have might give them a better chance in one on one battles and in 2v2 or 3v3 you wouldnt rely on a american teamate as much. tell me what you think   

[Tankbuster]

Yeah,as a replacement for Tankhunters.

I was thinking about the soviet's favorite lend-lease tank. The M3 Stuart(Honey) as a replacement for the T-70. The trade-off would be a better chance of getting hit for better anti-infantry firepower. But what to do about the T-90?

This was suggested many times. Soviets with mg is too strong. Same reason why soviet/US combo is imbalanced

Why replacing a anti vehicle car for better anti infantry firepower if you just could build the T90??


Honestly i don´t think its a good idea to add any other reward unit for soviet faction. They not even have to be balanced but have to fit in a soviet design concept. In addition they have to fit in a combination with other allies.
Thats what the Jagdtiger for example lacks, because it takes the role of the Elephant. A heavy armoured tank hunter which is accurate at middle distances (compared to 88) but is slow and needs support.

The Honey was just as good a taking on armor as the T-70, in fact its 37mm had a better chance to penatrate armor than the 45mm of the T70 that is why the soviets loved it. It actually was one of the most demaned vehicles of the war by the soviets.

[Killar]

but you said this tank should have better anti infantry performance, thus making the T90 useless.

But thats the whole concept about these tanks, that soviets have specialized units. The T70 is against armor and T90 against infantry. Merging them like a M8 destroys this concept.

Try not to post the same exact thing in two different threads . We see it the first time .

And the T-70 and T-90 basically forces you to choose b/w AI and AT.

Besides the M3 Stuart is a US tank . Wouldn't you rather your SU faction have SU units?

[Tankbuster]

No; but it would be fun to make the 85mm gun as a reward unit for the OBR. Seriously, think about it. Its not like the soviets dont have enough arty right?

[OdinsWolfpack]

ya sorry bout double post
