Nice to see the community have respectful discussions about this stuff and relic listening to us

Cons definitely need some late game love. Maybe we can start a new topic about that where everyone provides some ideas? Starting with the removal of the extra received accuracy mod might be good. Then figuring out some sort of upgrade for them. Perhaps ptrs unlockable for fuel at the hq? And change tank hunters. Or even something like 1-2 DPs unlockable at the hq. Then buff doctrinal ppsh to not be a downgrade...

Anyways let's hear some ideas and get relic to make cons not awful late game.

I've always appreciated the way coh2 is balanced without resorting to 'target tables'. I guess if PTRS bonus damage is the only way to achieve desired results then everyone will support this change... but I don't think possibilities were exhausted tweaking accuracy values yet. Last time it had an incredibly massive accuracy buff which is why it's such a strong AI weapon. Surely backing off accuracy a little could have been the first step, without significantly harming AT performance. We haven't seen a middle-ground value in live yet. Perhaps it was tried in Alpha?

So how will 2 222s fare vs other light vehicles. Will they beat a stuart or T-70?

Glad they listened though. I was the first to say they should make the 222 standard in the alpha.

I think Stuart could vs 2x 222 and win.2cm cannons don't pen Stuart very well at all

Then you should provide patch notes

But...
251 Flame HT without Battle Phase 2 requirement?
R.I.P USF.

Perhaps con squad sizes could increase late game but remain the same price (with cheaper reinforcement per model) representing the increasing soviet mobilisation and giving the human wave vibe. Vet gained per killed con would have to be less to avoid runaway vet for axis as they were mown down.

Maybe +1 model for tier 3 and +2 models at tier 4. Might be to confusing for the game system though.
