Has anyone played the Blitzkrieg mod? It does the usual thing of adding a ton of new stuff, but it also makes infantry a lot more vulnerable out in the open and makes infantry cost more to build/reinforce, meaning you have to be more careful with your squads. I've been loving around with it in skirmish, no opinion on whether it's balanced or not yet.

The sole use of AT halftracks is immobilizing poo poo.

Well, the thing with a blob is that it can generally only be in one place at a time, otherwise it won't be as powerful. This especially goes for PG blobs due to group zeal.

e: How effective is a quad 50 halftrack against a PG blob?

Doctrines are coming, but I assure you the game works as smoothly as VCOH, in fact, better, because it includes a camera mod so that you can zoom it out twice as far, which was a major gripe I had with VCOH. I have never played EiR, but the communities keep in contact, and apparently EiR went to poo poo balance wise recently.

Also. Skin Packs. Sound Packs. New Maps. New Units. No resource management. Regular updates. Forums where you can whine about balance and people occasionally listen. Whats not to like?

Man playing chokepoint maps sucks balls. I was playing PE vs two Americans with a German partner on that river map (not acheolus, the one with the sort of U-shaped thing) and both American players went armor (I went TD) and we just could not break through. Next time I do that map I'm picking airborne instead

Yeah I was pretty bad on this map. I didn't even think of trying to repair the bridge and going that way, and then I thought my teammate left

The map started with high resources, so I farted out a few panzergren squads and immediately went for dual armored cars, then just started rolling hetzers and an IST as soon as I could. You can see what happened there next.

Yeah, this was like my second or third MP game ever, so I was scrambling a bit. I went for the AC first because popping out an armored car fast seems to be a relatively common PE strat and I didn't need as much fuel.

I went with TD doctrine later on and spammed hetzers because I panicked, but I'm not sure whether anything else would really have been helpful.

My later game with some other goons on the 4v4 was pretty awful though. I didn't get much of use done other than planting a vampire near an enemy fuel point and then managing to kill a 17 pounder with a Goliath (actually pulling that off was a pretty moment for me, how does that even happen)

How badly does the vampire gently caress up enemy resources anyways? It's only 220 MP so it seems like it might be worth slapping one down if I have the spare manpower and just hiding it in a corner or something.

The armored car works fine against riflemen for me, as long as I just stay far enough away to avoid a sticky (which isn't hard)

How do you even micro a mortar halftrack? It's pretty much move it into range and then either let it shoot on it's own or pick out a specific area to barrage. Or fire an incendiary round at a garrisoned building/deployed AT gun.

I haven't played too deeply but the changes the Blitzkrieg mod makes to Brits are awesome the gently caress aren't these guys working for Relic

-U.S. vetting system
-Tommy's move at full speed wherever
-Emplacements cost manpower and munitions

MGs cost munitions to build too. Since infantry out in the open dies significantly faster to everything and also just about anything with a cannon can load HE rounds (for some muni) I think this is fair.

Rifle blobs in this get loving owned real fast by all sorts of poo poo. Also, every team starts wtih a tiny little AT gun which is really only useful against soft skinnsed poo poo, which also migitates the enormously gay strat of "park bren in enemy base then laugh at him". Since this same gun can also load HE rounds it is likewise useful for supporting your early skirmishing.

One thing to watch out for with PE: since their basic infantry squads/assault grenadiers/tankbusters all now start at 6 men, if you get the squad size upgrade their max size is seven, which means you can't fit them into some things anymore.

Has anyone played the Blitzkrieg mod? Looking for fun LAN mods for non-serious play but this one has a few things that are making me reconsider this one. German MG bunkers apparently have way too much health or something, tank shots do like 3% damage per direct hit, arty of any kind won't even scratch it with a direct hit, and getting in close with any sort of infantry is absolute suicide.

Have your tanks load HE rounds; they're much more effective on structures. Standard tank rounds arn't so hot against structures in this.

As for a bunker MG team just snipe it outta there I guess.

As Wehr of course buildings are no problem whatsoever. Most of their higher end tanks and TDs can fire big loving hollow charge rounds that surprise sex buildings big time.
