Faction satisfaction poll

Make core tech tree units more desirable
Increase the viability of light vehicle combat.

With our goals to increase the usage and viability of light vehicles we found the Stuart was slightly under performing. As it is a very mobile tank that fires on the move quite frequently its previous accuracy and scatter values were set way too high to really make this unit combat efficient.
Health increased from 320 to 400
Moving accuracy increased from 0.5 to 0.75
Penetration increased from 45/45/60 to 45/50/65
FOW Scatter multiplier penalty reduced from 300% to 25%



M5-Halftrack
The Quad performance was severely lacking compared to other AA / AI vehicles. We’ve adjusted the stats to bring it in line with other AA Halftracks.
Quad 50 Cal suppression increased from 0.003 to 0.009
Quad 50 Cal damage increased from 8 to 12

Somebody didn't even read other people post before raging =].

FYI, I play with my friend, the score is scattered because I have many friends to play with.

I randomly post, 270 post for two years means I post less than once per day. Problem?

And unlike somebody, I enjoy playing Ostheer and CoH2 to the fullest, not come here to rant like a loser.

You started great, but went downhill by the coma.

Its all about WFA and UKF power creep.

There is nothing wrong with vanila factions design, its great, its all about power creep.

Um? I haven't ranted once please feel free to reread my post, all I have done is called you out for lying in your reply to outlawStar. You do realize your player card shows 4v4 AT right so yet again you are blatantly lying

Also I enjoy playing all factions (except brits!) I stated my opinion on the current patch, again please feel free to reread. And PS if you are going to lie about games you play at least hide your playercard........

Didn't you even read my post? I play with friends, not alone. The stats with friend is separately for each pair. Or you don't know how to read other people player card?

I can even post the replay if you wish, but it was before June 29th hotfix.

And I didn't even mention you in my post as ranter, did I? That's why I repeat again: read other post carefully.

It's about allied fanboys whining in the forums until axis gets nerfed into the ground.

Let's see your playercard.

Generalist light tanks capable of surviving 2 hard ATG shots, wiping retreating 4 man units and arriving at the 5 minute mark need to go.

Most to least:
OST - Yes; explained below
SOV - Yes; 'normal' build style and play style, just too 'squishy' for my play style.
USF - Mostly; Fun, but a bit limited in terms of unit choice; especially early on.
OKW - Not really; explained below


That's the point.

Playing easy games isn't satisfying. If you get a match against a rank 500+ player, it isn't fun; it's easy, but really boring. The same can be said about using an 'easy' faction. When you win as Ost, you won because you were the better player. It's not because you have some "insta-win" button, or some insane price/performance ratio unit - it's because you were better at the game. That's satisfying.

So when you win with Ost, which is arguably one of the hardest (if not the hardest) faction to play, it's actually 'worth' a lot. For me, at least, that's satisfying and fun.

On top of that, OST is just really versatile. Grens can be medium/close range units with G43s, long-range by default, or long-range support with LMGs. I can defend with my MGs and flank with grens, or use my MGs to support my advances. Mortars give the ability to force an enemy MG/support to re-position, opening up windows for movement.... Early game is just really, really fun as OST. Much more fun that any other faction (IMO).

Mid-game is good too with a very good AT gun and AT squad, you've also got the STUG which is just such a good 'surprise' AT vehicle as well as the P4, which is pretty good against everything.

Then late-game you've got a solid rocket vehicle, a great medium/heavy, and it's all supported by some great doctrine abilities and units.



This, exactly. I tried OKW again (since release) just after the rework came out, and I just couldn't play them. The tech was strange, the meta was boring, the units felt awkward, etc. I tried them again a few times later after some more patches, and it just wasn't enjoyable. Maybe it's just me, but I just don't like their core design.

Main issues:
Builders are actually combat units (and really good ones at that)
No real early-game support crews (MG, mortar) - at least before this patch
Far too much reliance on mid-game LIGHT vehicles
Can't really play defensive when needed

The game favours allies more than axis now...

I think the "YES" votes reflects how much the players are willing to play a certain faction.

I understand what your saying and I respect your opinion. Just feels overwhelming currently with the double upgrades on allies and the hard to kill light vehicles early game. Thanks for the reply though and insight =)
