[1.3.1.0] Unit veterancy

[RedGuard]

And how about the Guards? Vetting up from only 1 infantry kill is way too much, for any unit.

They get 7/14/28. Slight less than Airborne, don't see a problem there.

thank you FFS, 7/14/28 for a unit thats THE MOST EXPERIENCED soldiers in the army. you can unjustly nerf whatever you want axis fanbois but dont you dare touch the guards. thats the last straw

they're designed to vet faster than other SU infantry its part of the units core design, and their vet1 makes them unsupressable by the time they hit the field MG42s are usually gone anyway so u really need vet14 for any use

they're the only thing we have that can handle axis vet 3 infantry, and they still struggle at that

Well i don't recall Airborne vetting up from only 1 infantry kill...

Each stormtrooper gives 2.5 xp to the killer, guards will need to kill three stormies to vet up. Saying that killing only 1 stormie to vet up means that guards already ate something else as appetiser before eating the meal.

I cannot watch the replay here but i find abnormal what you saying pariah, also you cant watch the replay either.

Well i was just relaying what Maxi said. If Guards aren't meant to vet up so quickly, then that means they either killed something else before, or there's a bug.

[Blackbishop]

xp is equal for both factions (US & SU) you cannot get more as soviet than you would get from amis. Then again we need to look at the replay before saying is a bug. The marder 3 one looks like it is, but guards doesn't.

A guard sqaud has more men so it should get slower vet than a smaller Sqaud like in this case 3 stormgrenadiers. I still don't know how the 2 stormgrenadier sqauds with MP44 lose against one guard sqaud in close combat .

Nonsense - all soviet squads are larger then those of other factions', what is compensated by their troopers' lower health. PGs are on the contrary the healthiest basic infantry. Simple as that. So these arguments absolutely fail the basic logic test.

[GodlikeDennis]

Most of this thread is rather pointless. There may be something to the Marder bug but as for the guards, without any proof that they vetted from one kill there's nothing to discuss.

There is simply no way 2 full MP44 stormie squads lost to a single guard squad unless there was an insane nade. Proof is needed to back up this absurd claims.

Squad size has nothing to do with vet.

Didn't Maxi upload a replay with that happening?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I did, but the only thing I actually saw was the Marder bug, the thing with the Stormy was reported by walki. The question of the Marder bug is done, so I'd agree to Dennis and lock this. If there are complaints left, just send me a PM.
