Thread: Infantry Blobs11 Jul 2014, 03:07 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2014, 22:26 PMDullahan Here's my profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Dullahan/ Add me and we can play whenever. Suppression won't beat them on its own, but it puts the rest of your army in a great position to brutalize them. A lot of the new weapons (any sort of LMG) tends to be very good against suppression because it fires in a burst, which while it will fire less frequently when suppressed it still will deal a good chunk of damage. However, simply reducing the mobility of your opponent long enough to hit him with AoE attacks is sufficient, really. Not saying suppression will beat them alone but it should SUPPRESS them. A vet 2 maxim in yellow cover should not have trouble pinning 4 squads that are literally grouped together. Instead it supresses the first two. Honestly MOST of the 2v2's I play it just ends up with OKW/USF blobbing units to take an area. OKW blobs with a sturm officer is an unreal combination and insanely hard to effectively counter without suffering large amounts of manpower hits. Accuracy bonus + obersoldaten/shreks/g43s is fuggin bullshit. = dead MG. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs10 Jul 2014, 16:37 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2014, 01:42 AMDullahan Proper support weapon usage will definitely stop blobs. If he's rushing you with a blob of squads, a single machine gun will stop them in their tracks. Then they're fodder for any of your other units, including your mortar. I agreed with you completely up until you said that a single MG would stop them in their tracks. I'd have to check to see if I still have the replays but last night I was playing a 2v2, the enemy blobbed a couple volks, sturmpios and a panzerfusiler together and charged at my MG on moscow. It was a vet 2 Maxim. I mean charged at it, like directly in the cone of fire. My MG was also in yellow cover. I think the first two squads got pinned and that was it of the 4-5. The rest just stood in the cone of fire and shot at my MG until I had to retreat. Right now, blobbing is terrible. As OKW just throw a couple obersoldaten together with fallshrims and volks and you do and insane amount of damage before you even get CLOSE to the enemy. I've dealt with blobs it's just not the easiest thing to do. Especially if you lose a squad or two in the process. MG teams are necessary now apparently. So is some form of indirect fire. USF Mortar Halftrack is underused, has an incediary ability which is useful. This is a standard game nowadays. No flanks or anything, just run at them with BARs and Zooks. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/486701739021246228/E99EAA0782E6B0BCA5723187101F3CD94B6234B9/ Edit: Mortars!!! My Wehr mortar had like 30+ kills in that 4v4 by the end, we won cause blobbing sucks when you overextend and lose squads on retreat In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Most hilarious and sad loss1 Jul 2014, 15:17 PM You were the one that started grouping units up first.. Sherman's wouldn't have been a bad idea had you used them correctly and not wasted all of them. Honestly just really bad strategy on your part. You never supported them with infantry. Never. You would lead the attack with a sherman or two and clearly over extend into enemy territory, which probably would have worked if you had infantry to take out the raketenwerfers. Charged a sherman into the middle and just let it die before pulling the other one back. Then got another sherman to rush his base? No point in that and the only thing that happened was you lost another sherman.... At one point you had RE following 2 riflemen around the map, capping one point at a time instead of spreading out and limiting roosters resources. That was around the 10 minute mark. How you didn't lose your major the two times you had it lead other infantry into combat is beyond me. You lost all 4 riflemen squads you created at the beginning of the game by the 30 minute mark.

Thread: Speed and Cost of Call-Ins Vehicles11 Jun 2014, 23:59 PM Is your post referring to a specific type of game mode? e.g 4v4? I would have to they are fine as they are. I play 1v1, 2v2 mostly and sometimes in 2v2 it can get a little hectic but I think the call in tanks are fine. I like the fact that these big tanks can change the course of a match when used correctly, even if I end up losing. These tanks are designed to be used as support already. The only part I tend to agree with is the amount of tanks that they can call in. Personally I feel that 1 elephant or ISU is enough for anyone. Apart from that, I think they are fine as is. In: Lobby
Thread: Does the Zis really need barrage?3 Jun 2014, 17:22 PM Barrage is a timed ability, meaning, you have time to notice the barrage being fired at you and for the next 15 seconds or so, you can walk any armored vehicle right up to it before it has switched back to AT. Let alone any infantry you have around that charges at it will most likely break animation and the AT gun backs off. I don't see a balance issue with it. German AT is far superior and honestly to me, if your opponent can creep a ZiS onto the front lines and barrage your units without you harrassing and/or killing it, it sounds like you have the problem, not us. The barrage range is shorter I believe then it's actually AP rounds range. Not sure how it's that uneven at all. tl;dr l2flank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Which T-34/85 doctrines?28 May 2014, 23:14 PM Guards motor. As they said, buttoning + mark target + 2 85's = dead German armor. Mark target makes taking on tigers much easier and makes your opponent if they know what they are doing to be hesitant to rush the tiger into your lines. In: Lobby
