Triumphs’ RD issues and suggestions list

*Infantry prices will be addressed in a pass pertaining to the rocket rework. Hopefully more light infantry and shock infantry will become playable or competitive.
*Tank meta will change due to the AP increases


Global Issues
HE Rocket arty isn’t the best tool in the shed. Taking down prices (5-15) and quantity per card by 1 could make a single card of them more playable.


Cluster planes are still in a bad place overall.

Cheap 15/20 point recon vehicles and 20 point 5man recon infantry tend to never see play.




NATO
*Not covering Scandi here.


USA
Early light rifles are horrible. Suggest a reroll into a unit with a sniper/marksmen rifle or sapper (Vietnam era?) flame thrower sort of unit.
Light Rifle 90 from 30 to 25
M727 I-hawk PIP III from 90 to 80 and +5 acc
F-111E  Aardvark – Bombing pattern isn’t the greatest. A little bit tighter area and a price of 105 may allow it to see play.

BluDragon


Japan
F-4EJ Kai from 130 to 110. Currently not playable.
105 SP from 50 to 45

Korea
K1A1 is not very playable
k242 should not cost 5 more because of 2 frontal armor. Should be 40 from 45. Call it flavor for mortars.
I-hawk PIP II from 80 to 70
F-4D peace pheasant I (bomber) from 120 to 105 or give it 20/30 percent ecm and keep the current price.
F-5A from 80 to 70 or give it decent ecm, 10/20 for the price
A-37b Dragonfly from 75 to 60.
F-86F Sabre from 65 to 60.
KF-16C needs a new loadout to be useful. Trading 2 AMRAAM for two AIM-9m would be perfect.
Would be great if Sochongsu 85 could get the K3 LMG.
KM-107 needs love.  See Koksan under NK.

CommonWealth
A 5 or 10 percent avail bonus would be more competitive.
It would be great if (recce elite) NZSAS OR SBS could get an LMG that is not horrible to make them competitive.

Brits
Gazelle AH.1 recce speed is listed 310 while Gazelle AH.1 SNEB recce speed is listed 260.
Is there a good reason for the FV432 to be priced 5 more than other mortars after the mortar redesign? (applies to CAN bison mortar as well)
FV712 Ferret is pretty sad. Perhaps a higher vet or a price of 40 from 50 could make it useful.
Chieftain Mk 11  doesn't feel competitive.
Jaguar GR.1A is pretty bad at its ATGM job.
L86 Lmg, could this be made into a CQC weapon? Give Fus90 some more utility.
FV433 Abbot from 60 to 50

Canada
TH-495 from 20 to 15. Would make Canadian unit choices more competitive at coalition level.
Highlander from 20 to 15.
Highlander 90 from 25 to 20
Chimera – AP and/or ROF buff would make this fun unit competitive again a unique place. Currently it feels like a bad chally mk1 or 2. 135 points, 7ROF, 21AP might make it competitive again

ANZAC
M108 from 50 to 45
F/A-18A Hornet - great bombing pattern. Just a bit over priced. From 140 to 125/130 would be sweet, so sweet.
MB-339CB - could this napalm plane be made anymore playable given an ECM rating of 20 otherwise perhaps a slightly cheaper price (10 point reduction)?
Mirage 1110(A) from 90 to 70
M113A1 FSV from 15 to 10 (it's an amphibious su-76 with half the ROF, c'mon)
M113A1 MRV (recce unit) from 30 to 25. It's got 1 armor over the scorpion and a shit stabilizer. It might as well cost the same.
Maybe reroll Ferret ENTAC VEH into a good optics recon unit that can do ambushes due to stealth rating.

Eurocorps


Wger
Peace Rhine from 120 to 110
SpPz LUCHS A1 from 50 to 45. (inferior to FIAT 6616. an mg3 is not an mk19)
Tornado IDS from 140 to 125 or 130
Marder 2 from 30 to 35. It seems to be very powerful in smaller game sizes.

France
Mirage 5F from 120 to 105


PACT
Squads with Metys can go down by 5 or 10 points. Most are priced at 25 and they are just not cost effective anymore. Gorno 90 are in a good place and do not need a 10 point reduction
.
Motorized decks: T55's are not so great. This hurts Soviet and NSWP motorized.  Suggest adding +1 AP to all high end T55 otherwise adding some lower end t72 would be very helpful.
Perhaps T72, T72a for USSR. For NSWP T72, T72m, and T72m1 jaguar.

To-55 and To-62 could go from 35 to 30. These tanks are fun and deserve to see more play.

All strella 10m could go from 50 to 45. Unit feels outshined now and PACT does need a solid, reliable, lower end AA unit that is not a manpad.

BRDM-2 Strela-1M and all NSWP variants has no reason to be 30 points. It's pretty horrible. It could be decent at 20 points. The very poor mans avenger.

Soviets

Mi-28 – AP buff please to make the atgm more cost effective compared to using kokon-m helos.
Vasilek is crazy. It should be reduced to prevent a group of them stun locking units. 2/1 or 3/2 quantity would be good. If someone wants to lock units they should need to invest into two cards.
259 Nona from 50 to 45
t80 and T80b feel useless.
T-64BM from 95 to 90. T-72B is clearly the right choice at this price point.
BMD line feels useless. Drop BMD-1P, BMD-2 by 5 points.
IL-102 from 180 to 160
KA-29TB for Spetz GRU?

NSWP
T72 Jaguar price from 75 to 70. Vastly inferior to the KPZ t-72m1 and price should reflect that. (CURRENT: 75 for 16 ap vs 80 for 18ap)


Cz
Lehka Pechota could use some love. Light infantry that are semi useless. Perhaps they could be buffed up to a 15 man squad like gurkha will be. Or maybe they could get a 5 point reduction to help make up for having to always pay at least 15 for a transport.
Mi-25 S-24 I don't know why this unit hasn't been nerfed more. Quantity and prototyping would be a good choice to limit cheese options down to just NSWP/Subfaction. To reduce potential all-in abuse it should be 3 trained, 2 hardened with a single card. If someone wishes to spam big rockets they’ll be forced to mix mig-21into their cheese.
BPzV SVATAVA from 60 to 55 (Malyutka are not that good)
BPzV Snezka from 70 to 60
OT-62 Vydra-II from 20 to 15
Mig-29 9-12A (napalm bomber) feels like a useless gimmick at 135. Could use a price reduction or HE increase to 15.


Eger
Sturmpioniere acc from 35 to 40 would be very helpful for them.
Mig-21ML from 75 to 70

Poland
Maz-543 Newa-SC from 90 to 80. The price increase compared to the tracked + armored newa seems like some nonsense. Also Newa quantity compared to Kub needs a look.
Su-7B from 60 to 55 (should at least match the mig17 since its got less firepower)
Su-7BM from 70 to 60
Mig-21MF from 85 to 80
Hibneryt zur-23-25 from 25 to 20


Red Dragon


China
WZ-551 from 20 to 15 (put it in line with french vab t20/13)
ztq-62-1 (recon) accuracy from 35 to 40 would help buff the unit at high vet
Tanke Shashou85 could use a buff. Additional range would be helpful. These should hard counter Autocannon units.
Napalm arty seems to be out of play now. Perhaps low price + low quantity like 2,1
Yubeiyi (miltia) are listed as mech but only have a 10 point 150speed transport. Suggest ZSD-63A be added as a transport for them.
PLZ-83 howitzer seems to be a clone of the Russian 2S3M Akatsiya. PLZ-83 lacks the D-22 [KE] weapon. Maybe it can be pasted in? Maybe the price can go down by 5?
Q-51 from 65 to 60
Maybe Zanshi 85 could get the type 81 CQC Lmg

North Korea

VTT-323 from 15 to 10
vtt-323 susong-po from 20 to 15
vtt-323 hwasung-chong from 25 to 15
VTT-323 IGLA (support tab unit) from 45 to 35
Gongbobyong lmg from type 73 to RPD. Price from 20 to 15 so they may be called to the field as an effective unit.
Jeogockdae 90 from 30 to 25. The vet damage bonus days are O V E R ! 19 ap is not amazing even with the extra range.
T-72m could use a buff to become competitive.
MD 5000 S-5 from 30 to 25 (to be inline with mi-8's that have rocket pods)
Why do infantry not use the Mi-25 like other factions would use Hinds? Would be nice if NK shock or elites had that option. Would have also made for a nice recon chopper too for the sake of having something decent.
Tokchon 122mm from 75 to 65 to be inline with 2S1 Gvozdika and feel like a unique, powerful tool that gives the favor flavor.
Tokchon 130mm from 95 to 80 to be inline with akatsiya and M109A2/K55 but better and unique once again adding to that NK flavor.
Koksan needs love. Perhaps aim time from about 30 to 20 and refire from about 14 to 10 with a price of 100.
m1992 SPAAG – increase accuracy and stabilizer by about 10 percent to make the choice cost effective. Otherwise drop the price by 5 or 10.
B-5 from 150 to 160 (the price of this I win vs inf button could go up a bit)
Su-7BMK from 70 to 60
