Hi folks,

I just returned to playing CoH2 after some time off and see that there have been implemented quite some changes. For example, I see that Panzergrenadiere are now t0 and Genadiers at t1, quite the opposite to what is was in the past.

Have Panzergrenadiers been nerfed or Genadiers buffed? As far as I see from the costs there isnt much of a change...

they've both been buffed from the time you've played it sounds. However you need battle phase 1 inorder to build the pgrens which delays their deploy time. They're still how you remember I assume though. Pgrens are good at mid-close and grenadiers are good at long.

Pgrens got veterancy buffed

Ass grens were also buffed. Alot of people skip t1 now and go ostruppen, ass grens or just hmgs into fast pgrens.

Grens have 20% damage reduction instead of 20% RA at vet 3 so its a little easier to keep them alive lategame.

Grens still have the best AT snare so its good to have them but there are just other good options for ostheer infantry now.

If you want a full changelog just ask which faction you want to know more about.

OH:

The faction got more mp to start with and teching is cheaper. You should check now the values between BP and Tiers as those have been swapped to make T4 more affordable.

Pio got increased vision and the minesweeper upgrade helps with repair rates now.

MG42 is now at T0. Grens were always at T1 (?). PG requires BP1 but that lets you go for 2 MG42 + 2 Pios into PGs and skipping T1 altogether. Same with T2, as you can use PG with shrecks and rush an Ostwind in that way. Ostwdin is REALLY good now.

Grens get a damage reduction at vet3 which lets them survive explosive better at late game.

FHT no longer reinforces after the upgrade.

Ostwind, use it.

T4 is more affordable. Try the Brummbear with attack ground or new PV.

Most call if not all call in tanks now require certain degree of tech. Be careful, you can no longer panic call in a vehicle without tech.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

PzGrenadiers have been buffed *AND* moved to T0.
But you can make them there only after battle phase 1 has been researched
(not the building, but the phase).

People complain the Soviets are useless.
Well, they are useless if you fight your units 1vs1. But they are all about Synergy.
What do I care if you have a Panther? Once you are crippled from running over a mine
I wait until you repair it with your 3x SturmPioneers and tell my 3x Mortars to fire at it.
did you know Vet 1 Mortars get FLARE?!

- 900 Manpower down the drain. - Panther still can't move worth a damn.
