      After many games of luftwaffe both in PvP and in Beta version, I find:
      a. The new model for Supply (weapon and medikit) is awesome.
      b. The 600th and the AT-luft-squad can replace the loses through the Green smoke of the Reg 6 Fallschirmjager, which I think it’s good.
      c.  The uplock “Elite Ausbildung” which give every luft infantry 1 star vet in the beginning is not worthy to be a skill. You may change it to the Airstrike from Wunderwaffe.

      Through a lot of people cry about their beloved Luftwaffe so weak, the weakest doc, not because we nerfed it too much, but other faction get their buffs time to time such as: US Infantry get Jumbo, US Arty get crocodile, and the powerful new UK docs….
      I have some suggestions which may help to slightly give the doc some love:
      1. The easiest way: Give the Gebirgsjäger 1 more squad, total 2 squad in game. If not, consider others:
      2. The “Dispatch weapons”, a squad of infatry will drop with the weapon, because imo, with the old way, they only call-in the weapon drop near the base, for the Luft pioneer to take (cause other infantry units are expensive to replace) => The old way is not really versatile, just another way to recruit a unit. The new idea may against the historical feature.
      3. The luftwaffe officer is a bit unworthy – low damage, easy die, only 2 skills are good being retreat infantry and call-drop supply, may give him:
      – 1 LMG42 or 1 maskman like Gebirgsjäger one, or other weapon upgrade.
      – Give him the Green Smoke grenade, and let all the Paratrooper squad (AT-squad, mortar squad, AT-gun-squad… whoever wear the fallschimjager uniform can replace loses in the battlefield)
      4. Airstrike from Wunderwaffe takes place.
      May you know, I alway put highest priority more in Game play experience than historical accuracy.
      Hope some proposals of mine will help.
      We always support you as much as we can 😉
      Cheers.

      You know, you and me often clash over balance. not as much as me and ordo, but enough. This time however, I like all of these ideas. I don’t really understand the 2nd one, but it seems ok. If the girbs go up to 2, then the sniper has to be a vet upgrade, like UK light infantry (Lowland doc). Alternatively, the sniper gets moved to the officer squad, or they can get a marksman ability, or g43 with supressive volley fire. But yeah, I’m all for buffing Luft.

      Also would like to see some buffs to US airborne. Other than giving them better stealth capability which I suggested in another recent thread, I cant think of anything rn.

      Some nice ideas, but realistically we won’t be re-reworking Luft any time soon. Wehrmacht and Soviets must take priority if we want to have any hope of finishing the main tech tree rework by years end.

      that doesn’t mean we won’t do anything, I just don’t want to raise expectations.

      @Death_Kitty: The 2nd is, at the present, with “Dispatch weapons”, the 600th, Gebirsjager, Luft officer and another unit only call-drop weapons.
      My idea is not only weapon, the call-drop will drop 1 weapon squad with their stuffs, so you no longer need to use a luft pioneer to come to take the weapon, which makes the luft more versatile.

      @MeathShieldNZ: ya, I understand the situation, just some ideas saving for some day in future 😉

      Ok, we could do some adjustmens but not bigs reworks:

      What about this:

      a. Luftwaffe officer now have x4 MP40 and x1 FG42. Maybe we could give them x3 FG-42 and x1 Mp40 instead.

      b. An extra man upgrade after vet 2 or 3 but not a marks man

      c. Gebirgsjagers will be moved to the Wehrmacht then I prefer to not touch them for now

      d. Increase the bonus of the elite trining maybe x2 vets instead one.

      @Olhausen: Ya, Those changes are good enough for the next patch.
      Btw, a “green smoke” for the Luft officer may be also a good idea.

      Ok lets do it then.

      I will check the green smoke option.
