Plz remove the limits for the other parties

Guys plz this should be an "expansion" to involve the soviets and not to mess up the other parties.

Remove the limits of Hummel, airborne, etc. plz, its annoying.
(if this isnt a new "feature" but a bug ignore this post :D )

Oh, and before I make any new post I had a nice situation yesterday playing with PE against Soviets. I had 2 squads with Stg44 (4 men, all upgrades and both lvl 3 off-veterancy) and I wanted to kill 1 (ONE) mechanic squad (no other units were involved) . And this mechanic squad (4 men) KILLED my two Stg44 squads while they were running into 'em. Every shot of the mechanics killed one men of my squads ( two firing round and my two squads were gone).
I don't know what this is (bug, just overpowerd or anything) but damn they are mechanics!

Re: Plz remove the limits for the other parties

Unfortunately this doctrine unit cap a side effect of the improved AI. Once it realises that is has access to the best units in the doctrine, it spams them like hell so we put a limit on it.

We noticed that Mechanics had a high 'critical hit' chance, so we have lowered this considerably in the most recent patch.

Re: Plz remove the limits for the other parties

Ah, nice and thx for the fast answer.
is there no chance of changing it? (the fact that the AI is spamming off-map units)

because it is really annyoing to only have limited access of hummel, airbourne, etc.

btw we are talking about the AI of the normal CoH or is it modified, too?

Re: Plz remove the limits for the other parties

The AI has been modified to suit the new faction, which has meant alot of changes, it isn't as simple as it sounds. We have been looking into some sort of fix for this, but unless you want 20 US paratroopers destorying your base 10 minutes into the game, then it won't happen anytime soon.

Correction, mechanics will be changed in the next patch (1.02).

Re: Plz remove the limits for the other parties

isn't it possible to limit or lower the frequency they call in those units?
