Congratulations on 1.6, and Some General Suggestions Inspired by It

That might have some use in transferring heavy weapons like shreks between squads but it has no use for AT guns and the game would handle it strangely because of the way HW teams work. Also, changes vCoH gameplay so won't be included.

Perhaps you could add a new unit for the RMC and give them this ability. You could hardcap the unit to prevent it from being OP.

How the game would handle it certainly is an issue. I could see some use for AT gun crews being able to abandon their AT guns and do something else, such as retreating to an HQ. Naturally, this leads into other problems that would need to be solved, such as the manner in which the crew would gain a new AT gun in case they can't find one on the field.

I brought it up because I think it's an interesting idea to consider, but not because I think it would have a place in the mod. After all, I like the fact that EF tries to change as few aspects of the vanilla gameplay as possible.

Basically food for thought . Maybe COH2 will implement this system (in C+C Generals you can save your USA pilots and their vetereancy which I personally like )

[Cranialwizard]

I would never want to abandon an AT gun anyway. It would allow the enemy to capture it and the enemy with an AT gun is the worst thing for your armor.

[ÜberScrub]

Well, it is natural that no one would wish to leave an AT Gun to the enemy, but realistically it happens quite a bit in CoH - even to the best players. If an AT Gun is being flanked by a group of infantry, who are going to overrun it and kill the crew within a matter of seconds, and there is no chance to prevent this, then the capability to retreat would minimize the loss for the player with the AT Gun. This is because while the equipment would be lost one way or another, at least with retreating the player is able to preserve a certain amount of manpower that would have otherwise been lost.

This is certainly not enough of a reason on its own for such a feature to be implemented in the mod; however, I think it's reason enough to believe that it would have uses.

[GodlikeDennis]

It would be abused though, since dropping the weapon would create a new free squad, then reman/reinforce with another squad ad infinitum. Lots of squads = lots of capping power.

[ÜberScrub]

That's a good point.

[Tankbuster]

Of course they will cost pop per soldier, so you will run out of pop...eventually.

[Pac-Fish]

You could always disable their abiltiy to cap

[Red Banner]

I think last suggestion did gameplay very messy.
If you have 4-5 squads you dont have time to arming them, just buy this or this and its done
