Volks nerf

Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2016, 17:11 PMDomine

I'm interested... What about Volks is so op? Their vet, which is worse than Vet 3 of most other units? Their AI, which is worse than that of most other units? Maybe their Durability, which is, again, worse than that of most other units?

The only thing I can see is an overabundant Panzershreck.

Saying 'Oh it's 90 munitions' is kinda irrelevant, because OKW gets to spend those 90 munitions on a really good AT weapon, whereas other factions do not get this chance.

The additional Vet is OKWs redeeming factor for not being able to build caches.

No, the scavenge ability exists for that very reason.

No nerf needed. I use volks a lot but lately I have been playing USF and blobing like hell because why not? I equip my rifleman blob with zooks and bars and they own opponents from the start to finish. If volks are nerfed then allies should be nerfed too. But as usual this thread will die a slow and painful death like other 1000+ thread on volks and allies infantry.

Riflemen are the most OP infantry in the game at the moment. Now that vet works properly they should have their buffs from last year reverted, including the zook accuracy.

not op enough to pull you out of the 2000+ rank

I'd rather have a Riflemen with 2 zooks for 10 munis more than a 1 shreck Volk. If there is any infantry OP at the moment, it is undoubtedly Riflemen.

You'd pay 10 more munitions to lose 40% of your squad's AI power to get a 61% chance of doing 100 damage and 37% chance of doing 160 damage against a PIV at max range (assuming it hits) instead of saving 10 munitions and 20% AI power to get an 88% chance of doing 120 damage and a 12% chance of 30 damage (assuming it hits)?

Well, you really shouldn't.

If anyone are complaining about Volk's Anti-inf you are just silly. A ranger squad without SMG can win 2v1 vs volks and with SMG 3v1 (Vet 0 vs 3 vet 3+ volks) - That or just RNG hates me so hard.

No one would ever trade shreks for bazookas.

I would. Zooks are better bang for buck.

Which custom mod you play then?
Let me guess, you'd pick con PTRS over zooks as well for their superior cost effectiveness?

Bazookas can be better in Axis hands against Allied armor than they are in Allied hands against Axis armor. Especially in games where IS-2s or Pershings don't exist.

But at the same time, Panzerschrecks are far more powerful in Allied hands than they are in Axis hands.
