[December] Volks and Obers are Overpriced

Jump back to quoted post3 Dec 2015, 23:00 PMKuprix

Since we are here and I find making new topic irrelevant, could someone tell me when to buy lmg and when to buy stg44 (from specops doc) when it comes to upgrading Obers?

Use LMG if you prefer to sit back at long range, use STG if you want a rifle squad on steroid.
Anybody know if vet 4 Obers with STG can suppress inf?

Tried the new patch in multiple 1v1 matches. Volks seem to be in an acceptable spot now, don't understand the reasoning for being more expensive than grens and Cons though.

Volks; easily beaten by cons and other though more expensive counterparts, no AI upgrade, no significant vet bonuses (such as %60 increased accuracy for vet3 penals) , basically no utility other than a rather fragile AT and point capturing waste of MP with rather annoying voice acting.


Obers; usually available when the match is pretty much over (with the new expensive T4), no 2x upgrades, long rebuild cost/time, weird burst rate behavior, high Vet requirements, can be beaten by:

- Cons
- IS
- RM
- Shocks
- etc


Simple 1minute DIY Soultions;


Volks; Remove the Shreck upgrade and replace it with PzB which should improve AI and tone done the AT blobability

Obers; Change their cost to 360, swap them with the ouh 251, reduce Vet Requirement, reduce rebuild cost to 32, reduce rebuild time.
