Reinforcements

[Paladin88]

That's true, I know that its not a "critcal hit" but it was just a suggestion.

The flak 88 gun needs at least two of the crew to operate, since there are only three crew members to operate the thing it isn't as easy to keep alive as it sounds.

Two snipers will easily end its miserable reign having only two men left is like inviting the enemy to kill the crew and man the weapon themselves, they won't care if they lose it, heck, it wasn't their's to begin with!

Since it is easier to use a halftrack to spam reinforce crew members than having a spare pio/PE squad come over to fix the gun that would make this idea better. If you still think that's easier you could make the gun "harder" to repair. Remember that mortar fire and artillery will decimate any surrounding infantry, your pios will be exposed carrying out repairs and you'll probably find it harder than you think to do it.

Also to repair, your manpower rate will be decreased. I actually reckon that halftracks will make the job easier (since they are the backbone of PE, right?).

On a second thought I wish to ask if you don't believe that gunners should be replaced by repairs how does that explain how the MG gunner on top of the tank returning!?!?

I think, reinforce must be limited & oriented for a map ("combat history specialisation"), or some sort.
If that is possible, reinforcements must be not simple limited, but is very special for the map battle ... (I hope you are understand.)

For example.
Kursk battle map can give to a player possibility call in tank platoon reinforcement & field artillery or IL-2 support ...
Kiev (if that map is present), give the possibility a light infantry reinforcement & very limited light & tank units.
Stalingrad can take a possibility a heavy & medium tank renforcements call in, soviet marines & veteran sniper group.

If that possible, that was great ...

Sorry for ignoring your post, no hard feeings right?

I was referring to repairing a flak emplacement, repairing them should not replace their crew because they're not a tank. and thats how tank gunners are replaced, they're not reinforced but repaired. On the flip side the flak guns crew are reinforced, and the gun is repaired.

My comrade Im afraid thats just the way the game plays. And not to sound indifferent but you will just have to accept it and adapt your battle plans to compensate 
that is how wars are won

best of luck my inquisitive friend

@Sturmovik
That would only suit a campaign, but is absolutely unacceptable for any proper multiplayer.

OK. Understand.

Ballance & intensive battle action ... in MP are welcome.
In the other side ... thats why thare are many suggestions about new technics.

... and no hard feelings, of course.

@Sturmovik
What hard feelings can there be amongst brethren?

Hee hee, none whatsoever.

It doesn't matter if you make mistakes and lose... just be ready to kick his butt next time 'round!

You're probably right... I'm just making a suggestion that's all. Still its a little annoying...
