Sick and tired of countering mindless, but effective double LMG blobs. IS is the hardest mainline infantry to wipe and knowing how good double LMG are, I hope for limiting 1 per squad. Early ober squad, c'mon.

Brits the only faction to be as good defensive and as good offensive.

Rather than continue the nerfing crusade on everything, wouldn't we be better off just buffing the German Infantry instead? Almost everything in this game feels lackluster lately.

How? If you balance axis infantry, then you have to buff any other infantry apart brits.

Just point me to the non-doctinal elite infantry the brits get instead. Or the USF for that matter.

IS is not elite enought or it doesn't say elite and it's not elite, but is strong as elite?

What is "elite" infantry? Is there some kind of property that labels some units as "elite", or is it just imagination of some forum members?

Does "elite" just equals to "stronger than average unit using graphical model of some real life special unit"?

Are partisans elite then? What does mean "strong as elite" in partisans context?

Like IS is a weak unit. Surivability among the strongest in stock infantry, despite being 4 man squad.

I might misunderstand your intentions, but wouldn't that change almost nothing? The only difference between the Bren and K-gun is the K-gun aims slightly faster (and sounds sexier).

Remove double LMG but:

-Remove/fix stupid gimmicky of double scoped rifles at vet3 (which only makes the squad drop weapons).
If i have to guess, there was some intention of making upgrades weapons less powerful with vet, by reducing vet bonuses and just giving a "stock weapon upgrade".
-Improve the grenade upgrade appealing.
-Improve flare-arty appealing without going anvil.

Commandoes and Rangers? Ostheer doesn't have non doc elite infantry either. Only OKW has this.. How vetted riflemen with upgrades and vetted tommies with upgrades perform can be seen as elite in their own right..

You consider those elite infantry lol? Well considering I put riflemen and tommies as elite infantry in their own right, might as well say they could be too then. Still, pgrens aren't really that great compared to vetted riflemen and tommies with lmgs.

"Not really that great"...That´s one way to put it. I would say they totally suck against vetted and equipped riflemen and tommies.

100 percent imagination.

However the latest community patches are manufacturing this concept. Currently there are multiple versions of the ptrs rifle that changes depending on what squad picks one up.

But otherwise there is absolutely nothing meaningful with terms elite, frontline, or mainline infantry outside the purpose of forum discussions.

Considering stock IS can already put up a huge fight against upgunned Grens/Volks without using lava nades when charging against them in cover, yeah I do think double LMGs are a bit silly. The only thing that stops people from double equipping them is because of vet 3 turning them into complete pinatas. Meanwhile I'm here abusing Royals with double Vickers K from Spec Weps. :rofl:

Also fighting Brits as Wehr is as much fun as pulling teeth with the way it is currently. Honestly I would be fine with banning Brits and OKW altogether.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
