Funny that we sank like a rock right after the patch that was supposed to reinvigorate SD.

the future of WG 1) command units that give buffs to surrounding units is a great idea and would make fights a little more realistic because you'd have to maintain platoons to gain an edge. Removal of CV from logistics tab and incorporation into unit type-with stats and avail change to something fitting-would compliment this.
2) coalition decks are horrible for balance and result in there only being one or two #1 decks. Coalitions are balanced around protos, unicorns, and flavor units, meaning some of its basic units will have to be trash. The only reason prototypes and flavor units exist is to make coalitions viable. In a situation where there are only mixed decks, every unit MUST be balanced with its peers to be worth using. 2A) prototypes can be balanced by absurd price, limiting to a certain amount per deck, or limiting to thematic decks.
3)thematic decks need to confer bonuses that don't encourage just spam. Extra veterancy is always nice but variable load outs depending on specialization would be incredible. Mechanized deck could get Motos '90 with RPG-22 and RPK for instance, while vanilla would have current weapons. Armored decks would receive better ammo for tank guns, airborne better aircraft load outs, and so on.
4) non proto unit cards need be standardized per unit type to a more reasonable amount with price amount per card being balancing factors. If I want to take 4 cards of 2 A-10 Thunderbolt in my deck, let me. There will be weaknesses elsewhere.
5) National and coalition decks should be a feature for roleplaying or fixed rule lobbies but confer no advantage in a standard settings game. If your playstyle truly matches a country, then you should be able to use just their units in a mixed deck and be at little disadvantage. If not, the meta is intruding and some unit class is over performing.

6) Now onto game mechanics. Mobility on most units is not large enough of a factor in WG currently because road speeds are standardized at 110 kph and 150 kph. MBTs, APCs and the like should be brought down to 100 kph, with an intermediate speed at 120 kph for things like the Sheridan.
7) the differences between shock and line is too high. Shock has better vet, speed, and loadouts with lines being taken for only transport, for MG grinding, or for being Fusilier 90. SD:44 has much more reasonable infantry balance and I hope the infantry fighting in WG4 is more fluid and built around RL tactics.
8) Choppers should have the ability to move while at a low altitude, with reduced speed and increased susceptibility to attacks.
9) more interesting unit load outs. Tanks with smoke rounds, mortars with white phosphorous, infantry with grenade launchers that you can use to create smoke screens, units that specialize in only thing and have to be used in conjunction with others. The DLCs did a good job of doing this but imo many more units should receive the treatment of something about them being fun or unique, if not through a unique loadout then through soft stats. For instance USA units as a rule having better than average optics, or Chinese units having better than average stealth. Really don't see why RPG-7 units can't have an HE warhead or two for instance.
10) better unit control. On map control groups, seeing unit tasks with shift, predeployment orders, would be nice. But formation commands (tanks into a wedge for instance) and escort commands (hold escort key and click on unit, selected unit will keep current distance to what unit you click) would be incredible.
Thoughts? This post is extremely dense but I'd like to start a discussion on the future of WG.

> Artificial national unit stats Why not just reflect how they are? US already generally has better optics than Pact units.
Luis Thomas
I wish there was maybe a gameplay option to automatically display auto-cover for all infantry. The only time I find it useful is for deploying into towns.
Ryan Green
even worse. To paradox with you
Jackson Turner
We should just declare nukes to be a war crime, that will stop anyone from every using one.
Henry Torres
Except they aren't
I'm not saying militaries don't use WP offensively, but games generally avoid allowing players to commit war crimes

whats the most autistic general we can merge with /wgg/ was part of the stellaris general for a while, but they're too active
Leo Martin
No clue, my only hope is that the general doesn't throw an autistic shitfit about having to share that it kills itself again.
Caleb Flores
/gsg/ They throw an autistic fit any time WitE is posted there, but with the release of steel division it would pretty much become /paradox general/
Camden Hughes
There are more people playing Oblivion than SD.
Aiden Davis
There are more people playing Medieval 2 than all the Eugen games combined.
Charles White
Okay, I'm all for merging but jesus christ not with /gsg/.
Benjamin Hughes

Adam Price
CoH1 and CoH2 still have a decent playerbase. I've never seen CoHposters on any Veeky Forums threads though.
John Barnes
The issue with /gsg/ was that it was too fast. It's not worth browsing when there's 100 stellaris post for every eugen one. We need a half-dead general to merge with. But we'll go with /gsg/ like before if nothing else shows up.
Joshua Nguyen
>assuming /gsg/ would ever permit this
Isaiah Fisher
From memory they moved the Command Shermans from C to B and dropped the price of Shermans overall. Also get 2 x 2 cards of Wolverines to play with in Phase B.
few other small changes but overall some nice stuff. Standouts are still the Cromwells with the huge HE gun and the early Stuart spam.
Poles have a much nicer transition from A to B now.

Who here hyped for PanzerCorps 2?
Parker Scott
>Its spectacular success brought an almost forgotten genre back into fashion, it inspired multiple clones and literally gave new life to an entire market. Is this true or are they bullshitting? It's not surprising that PC sold really well compared to other Slitherine games, but I really doubt that it single-handily revived the "panzer general like" genre. >The move to a fully 3D engine is a natural evolution of the game not too existed about this, don't really care for 3d in wargames.

William Williams
More MGs, better HE, and can tank most Phase A AT.
SD is dead and RD has even fewer players, why bother merging? Just go play something else.
Grayson Bennett
RD has been "dead" for more than two years now, but I still have no issues playing it and finding games. It's bad for the thread that by now we've built all the decks and discussed all the units, and SD hasn't picked up the slack.
But RD is unlikely to really die and hopefully the same will prove true for SD.
