News over Faction on Playtest 2015
France Their Gap Generator is Bigger.
Germany Their ChronoShift can teletransport 11 units.
Russia now paradrops 2 tanks, has mad tanks instead of demo trucks
Ukraine always has de demotruck, and instead of paratroopers, it got parabombs.
at England I had seen no change.

I like the idea of factions but the sovs "buffs" suckYuriMolina wrote: ↑France Their Gap Generator is Bigger.

Paradrops are unreliable, MAD tanks i'll never touch and it's not worth trading demos for them and well parabombs aren't worth trading paradrops for.
Russia should get an upgraded MIG that can shoot air to air and i'm not sure what would be good for Ukraine.

parabombs sound like fun; and would be useful if your enemy is hoarding arty or infantry - also parabombs are powerful enough to do a lot of damage to a tech centre or nuke.PersianImmortal wrote: ↑ I like the idea of factions but the sovs "buffs" suck

A MIG that can shoot air to air would be far to over powered - especially since they can outrun missiles to begin with.
However, i do agree with you that the soviets' buffs suck; i feel as if the soviets dont really have anything to contend with a player that can effectively micro their units and co-ordinate attacks well that uses the allies' factions - other than brute force that is.

lol ... i think you guys forget ... this "faction" thing isnt about "buffs" ... its about more variety on play-styles + balancing them ...
correct me if im wrong , but as far as i know ... mads (for soviet) are down to 2000$ .... and ukraine is the only faction with demo-trucks ... right ?
beside that .. mammoths , migs and apc-flametroopers are still available ... for every soviet faction ... and heavys are still better then medium tanks ....

I got you dude, but the allies changes actually amount to really nice buffs. 12 unit chrono that's awesome. Bigger GAP i'll take it. The sovs changes are just so meh and like I said i'll never take a MAD tank over a demo and i don't want to have to trade my paratroops for parabombs if I want to use the demo. I don't think they should have to be traded off.JOo wrote: ↑lol ... i think you guys forget ... this "faction" thing isnt about "buffs" ... its about more variety on play-styles + balancing them ...
