My Ideas and opinions

It’s my first post in forum and gonna be long. As a player when I choose a game to play, I have some standards involving Historal accurate and Gameplay experience in order to evaluate a game/mod. In this post, I will talk about two main topics: My ideas and gameplay balance.
Let me talk about my new ideas:
1. Supply air-drop package for US Airborne, Luftwaffe and Iron Will.
That mean: the (standard) Officer squad can call-off map a  air-drop package (or just call-off map) which is vulnerable and can be destroyed by regular rifle very fast, its function is the same with weapon truck, but more flexcible and fast supply.
This idea comes from Gamplay experience, I command a paratrooper division (US Air – Luft) or a legionary army supported by Germany (Iron Will), I feel not really good when I call -off 3 squads of 82nd Parachute infantry but can’t not upgrade them with 2 M1 for each, and only can do when retreat them. In history, there were weapons air-drop.

2. Command tank for US Armor, like he Command Tank for OKW VE, but when the Command tank is near, every tanks in near area will be buffed (accurate or reload time or… something els), I think It’s reasonable for a Armor doc to have a Chief commander.

3. Parachute ability and replancement in the field for Fallschirmjager Bataillon 600 of Luftwaffe (with green smoke grenade perhap), because they are Germany Paratrooper too, that make the Gameplay experience more fun. In BK, even The Mountain troops drop to the field (not Historical Accurate). I doesn’t mention this ability for Luft Pioneer because someone said that they won’t have gear to repair vehicles or building if they parachute to the field, The solution for that is to give them air-drop package too (I do not strongly that idea for Luft pioneer, but for Bataillon 600, yes I do)  I know there are many complain that Luftwaffe doc is OP, but find I hope we can find somehow to solve the problem.

4. Pioneer/engineer or simular stuffs have ability to clear tarrain for line of sigh (like in Spearhead mod), more stuffs to build your defensive position or just rescue your stuck infantry unit.

5. Giving the Officer unit (standard) observer mod ability, they can watch the battle from behind the line.

5. Giving The Grenadier of Wehmarch standing camoflage and hold-fire ability, for ambush, because I see them have camo uniform and there are good-training troops btw. If we do so, players will be motivated to dissmiss Volkgrenadier and replace into Grenadier.

Before turn to the balance ideas and issue, I want to tell you that I base on standards that no unit is useless or unworthy to use. And one of the most reason that I love Wikinger mod is there is always certain solutions for every situations when you play whatever doc, not only recieve feedback and buff or nerf particular units; lower and higher the price, you know everything “OP” unit should have certain ways to counter.
1. Panzerfaust price, it’s precise that I played many PvP game with the mod veterans, I hardly saw someone used Panzerfaust. The issue I think is the price of panzerfaust (45 for unlock abi and 35 for a shot) comparing with Bezooka of USF (45 ammo unlock and no shot price). I find out that the cost is too much, with 80 ammunition, I rather choose MG42/43 ungrade than panzerfaust and leave the job to most functionable unit (AT squad). It’s serious if you can not see any panzerfaust used in a WW2 game.

2. Jeep and Similar stuffs are too vulnerable or too costly. At the early game, extremely rare to see vet players use it; and got nobody using Pak 30.

3. Buff survival abitility for retreating, I think Papamong already solved the issue.

4. US Infantry really doen’t have any certain method to fight agaisnt German Heavy tanks (Tiger 1 -2 – Panther)

That all I wanna show, more ideas and issue will come soon.
