Next Operation special unit suggestion

If we're going to do this we might as well do it properly. How about the awe-inspiring LOBSTER DREADNOUGHT

IDK about snipers, I think we already have them as part of basically any unit on the "infantry" branch, along with standard rifleman. So I think this is redundant. Snipers, even more so than flame tanks, never formed regiments by themselves.

haha you never cease to amaze me CodeName CrayFish!!, thats WAY more needed!!!

get that into R&D TOMORROW!!

But with Snipers it would not be on the unit branch, it's a "special" unit, that you will only get in Operations,

it can shoot from a far without being seen from Citys and forest and kill Infantry with ease

This is what an infantry regiment depicts.

We have anti-tank, rocket artillery, &c. and other units because those also were organised into large groups in their own right as well. I don't think any power fielded entire regiments of snipers during the war, or had any reason to, although I might be corrected on that.

What I meant was: aren't snipers already implicitly included in all infantry tech anyway? Call of War operates on the scale of a regiment or larger. An infantry unit represents more than just riflemen. I expect it would include snipers, along with machine-gun groups, some mortars and even light guns, as well as standard rifle squads, and logistics. Snipers in effect already exist.

Snipers with 50km range, pretty impressive

Monke probably just thought that all snipers have the range and skill that he has.

Yes. I crave this.

I hope they just don't. The flame tank itself was a dumb unit from every point of view. From scaling, it was silly because flame tanks aren't fielded in battalions. They're company level weapons, generally in engineering units.

From a gameplay point of view, they were dumb because they filled a role that didn't need to be there. Oh no, infantry is good at defending cities? How terrible that they have, like, one thing that they're cost effective at. There were plenty of ways to take cities, anyway. Rockets, artillery, special forces, etc

From an art perspective, they were lazy. A single sprite for every doctrine? Please. Puh-lease.

Cut the trailer off, use it as a heavy tank sprite for a new Commonwealth doctrine split from Allies.

Motocicle troops. Like weaker recon, ivisible in forest and more swift everwhere, but without province conquering skill.

Have you seen the lvl.1 Pan-Asian and Comintern (and Axis IIRC) lvl.1 motorised infantry?

Have you seen axis, allies , somintern and panasian heavy tank lvl 1 units? We have flame tanks. Also we could have motocicle recon, not mech. infantry. Again, completly new troop, swiftest recon with invisibility on forrest terrain, but disability to conquer provinces.

Yeah motorcycles were something that there was, like, a handful in battalion/company HQ for running letters and light recon.

While that's true, that still doesn't make them the majority of a battalion's fighting strength.

Not to mention that this is only one country, and one which didn’t use very many of those divisions.

Agreed, yet those units were iconic and had a far greater relevance than their small numbers warranted. Arguably, Hitler wouldn't have been able to control Europe without them.

Maybe some type of OP helicopter to add for a few weeks then remove it?
