@austerlitz Im not even gonna argue with you because you damn near break into tears every time someone talks about ostheer.
If u don't want me to reply don't post insulting shit like ost is fine only has 'mechanical problems'.Thats a usf fanboy crying to keep his autowin candy right there. |
Hey, I´m currently ranked Nr. 14 Axis 2v2 arranged team, Nr. 24 Ostheer 2v2 random and Nr. 64 2v2 random with Soviets.
I´m telling you: The MG42 is shit.
In fact I used to be Nr. 1 Ostheer 2v2 random for some months. I built MG42s, used them as I always did and dropped to rank 100. Grenspam brought me up again, but never to the state I used to be.
A tip from me: Do not build the MG42. This isn´t good game design.
He knows better,played a game..made an expert observation..sherlock has given his verdict.Lowly ost scrubs must accept it.Ost only has 'mechanical' issues,everything is fine.Cookie the mighty has spoken. |
Far more involved? That can be said about any MG. I love maxim spammers as ost. Free win. From the beginning of the game,checking sov base splats for T2. you already know whats coming. Such lovely design. Immediately when I see that im going 2-3 grens and a mortar which counters the garden out of maxims AND t2. If im OKW then eh maybe im shaking in my boots a little. maybe.
I will then get flamers on my pios as well for any maxims in buildings, tech up,and im gonna riflenade your maxims from the front. 10-20 min GG. Its even lulzier if CAS/ostruppen muni spam is involved. Now a Con or two for every maxim isnt spamming maxims.
If you dont like being limited to 1 VP 1 fuel keeping all your stuff nearby eachother until you're strong enough to break out, then...dont play ost 1v1 right now. No one is forcing a gun to your head to play ost. You can still get your german krupp steel blonde hair blue eyes ubersoldaten fetish taken care of with OKW.
And no one is stopping you from taking a break until Ostheer is OP,which im fully expecting this next patch thanks to all these tears. from how weak ostheer units are,when its just MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH COH2 ITSELF WHICH CAUSES OSTHEERS PROBLEMS. THEIR UNITS ARE FINE FOR THE MOST PART(222,Pgrens,Werfer and sniper could use a buff thanks to their counterparts being better and overshadowing them) EVERY MG IN THE GAME is getting naded,sniped,smoked and stolen from the front from one infantry squad. Its not FUN FOR ANYONE. Ostheer is far from being the only faction with issues.
but its the way it is,and the best way you can avoid this is support and spot for your shit to alleviate this particular issue,or baseline infantry spam,or QUIT until the games patched(2 WEEKS!!!) I for one am sick of these ridiculous buff ost threads. most of OST IS FINE. The basic game mechanics are not fine,and thats what ost relies on the most.
You can scream all you want ost is FINE,that all ost issues are 'mechanical' issues,every mg is being naded ..well fun fact -no faction depends on its mg as much as ostheer.Ostheer is by FAR the weakest faction atm...but u'll never accept that despite stats because ur a hardcore fanboy who on purpose wants to keep ost extinct because he likes his autowins.And don't worry i already have retired till patch,and yes if they don't fix ost u'll have ur wish..won't be coming back..as will several others i know.Now go scream again ..OST IS FINE. |
No one does unsupported mg42,if it was as cool as u say after one game ost wouldn't be such shit.Its helpless vs both conscript orrah and smoke.And also suppressed squads wipe it for fun with nade.I'm sick of allied fanboys trying desperately and using every excuse in the book to keep ostheer dead.I'm tired of american infantry pushing grens for fun,then light vehicle reign of terror,followed by unkillable para blob and p-47 skillplane,jackson 3 shotting armoor,squads getting one shotted and what not.Its disgusting.Just disgusting..and even more disgusting watching these shameless usf fanboys defending their autowins.American riflemen in current state vs grenadiers is cheat unit. |
What happens to ALL MGs during late game when there is plenty of yellow cover around.
Also you can see that after 4 burst, the MG has to reload, therefore making the suppression threshold falldown since all the models are on yellow cover making the pin take longer.
Yes this is a 3star popcornsprayer with 3 mg bulletins.Excellent performance i fully concur with you.This unit needs a smaller arc,its too good now. |
no need to buff
No need to nerf OKW,stuka needs a buff. |
He stopped playing coh2, waiting for a Ostheer patch
Same case here.One of my friends left coh2 altogether,other plays coh1.I'm retired until patch.Masochism has its limits. |
DOn't be silly. MG42 stronkest MG in all of spacetime. SHould fore over hole map at 199999999rpm with 122mm shells 4 glorios 3rd reich.
Sarcasm aside, nothing much to say I haven't already. Stopping by to tell you that pinning units in cover is supposed to take ages (because they are in cover) seems like wasted breath when considering what most of the posts in here are like. It's almost like, you know. There was cover involved. Mad, right?
Pinning happens to troops in open ground. Suppression happens to troops with things to hide behind, who just duck into their sodding cover. Sensible and reasonable, neither of which are commonly found in buff MG42 threads.
What would you know?Have even played a single match as ostheer 1 vs 1?I suggest u do before passing judgement.I know ur used to ur autowins vs ost,but try to make an effort. |
Mg42 in its current state is simply incapable of doing its job,all the 'its perfectly fine' people as usual have disappeared including elslayer,katitof,Wingzero,fauscostbulletin..the ones who want to keep ostheer weak and shit on purpose. |
It has been powerful. Why?
1) You dont struggle that much for stupid munitions
2) Osttruppen is dirt cheap = keep up with tech
3) No more 1 shot squad wipe!!!
and IMO Tiger is a huge piece of shit anyway. Elefant is the only callin that worths something
Agreed exactly on all 3 points.
Add 4rth point,make ameri blob whine with strafe.They are so used to rolling over every infantry fight against ost,suddenly its a problem.
Agreed again on tiger.I no longer build it at all.Only panther and elefant are reall lategame armor for ost.Both jacksons and is-2 which are the endgame units for usf and soviet laugh at tiger.P-47 skillplane says and goodbye often.Its a waste unless enemy solely blobbing infantry
Once tech is fixed,IF its fixed,that is if they want to keep the faction around...i gurantee u will not see any tigers..just panthers. |
