pretty much! nerfing the hinds makes it harder to win with a single tactic.

It sounds like you're debating from the "I want to win more games" angle????

I don't agree with nerfing flame throwers. If we remove a viable early game strat when people whine you're setting a deadly precedent. What should happen is buffing the allied pillbox. Increase its damage and make it auto target infantry rather than apcs. Then countering flame throwers is as easy a...

We could move grenadiers to the allies faction so they also get a strong early game anti buildings infantry to compensate. I like this. The grenadiers kind of fit with the artillery as they both have chain explosion. And for the Soviet side to have both grenadiers and flame troops seems a bit of an...

Is there like a fund for this game? I'm not opposed to throwing in a few bucks from time to time so that the dev guys can have the finest caffeinated products at their disposal.

I like the idea with the ""single-barrel mammoth-tank"". Remove the rockets and it would be a fine new unit for the allies. Or we could give it to one of the two soviet factions instead of the mammoth tank. Your username just conjured up a vision of multiple tanks merging together to form a giant t...

Your APC gets taken out during an early game rush?

I haven't seen swarms of choppers come flying in since this change has been made.

Every douche of a player uses the early flamethrower rush. It sucks the enjoyment out of the game. Why bother to plan out attacks when you can just throw a bunch of flamethrowers at the opposing team and wipe them out?

If I see APCs rolling into my base during the first 3 minutes of a game, I just let them destroy the entire base, congratulate them for their original thinking, explain that nobody wants to play a 3-minute game, and then go find another game with better players.

Demo Trucks are a great way to unwind after a long day at work.
