Thread: Walking Stuka6 Jul 2014, 18:13 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2014, 17:57 PMHux ^ Stuka not the issue. THIS is the real issue. Blobs should be discouraged (if not outright punished) and this shouldn't be dependent on artillery - should be a game mechanic Otherwise, that's all I have to contribute to the dickmeasuring that this thread has devolved into. Enjoy! There is difference between "discouraging blobbing" and a unit which has a retarded amount of long rang damage that is basically unavoidable unless you hear it firing. The Katyusha and the Werfer discourage blobbing, the Walking Stuka annihilates whatever the hell it happens to hit. That is the freaking difference. This has nothing to do with discouraging blobbing and everything to do with the fact that the unit is a 100% accurate, line firing, death machine. Everyone is bitching about 120mm mortars right now. Why? Because overnight they became ACCURATE as hell. No one minds when the rounds have scatter because vs blobs the scatter is negligible and the blobs are punished. The same goes for the katyusha, the werfer, except the walking stuka is the exception. It has pin point accuracy and wtflol damage which is just plain broken. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Walking Stuka6 Jul 2014, 16:59 PM This thing functions like a nuclear bomb carrier. Are you fucking kidding me people? Your supporting an artillery unit with a predetermined firing path, 0 scatter,that fires all of its munitions at once? Compared to every other arty piece in the game which have scatter, fire over time, and don't instantly wipe out entire armies. I have lost an absurd amount of units to these things that were never blobbed to begin with, like weapons teams or units in buildings that died instantly. Or on choke point maps where the fucking German just finds your forward unit and clicks backwards. The splash is outrageous, the damage is high enough that it will frequently KO tanks, and if your opponent isn't retarded there is no way to kill the thing in return. So no this unit isn't fucking okay and either needs a redesign or the OKW faction needs to be looked at if they have no counters besides this thing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Doctrinal 155mm barrage working as intended? 6 Jul 2014, 00:37 AM I think it's pretty balanced. The OKW are designed to lose against Maxim spam every game so it's good to see that the US now has something that acts as an "I WIN BUTTON". Now to just unlock this commander and I can switch away from Ruskies. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are they ever gonna fix Soviet?4 Jul 2014, 15:00 PM Most of the replies seem to be from people that don't even really have a firm grasp of how Soviets operate... Soviets are forced to make a choice before the match even begins. Ex: -If I go T1 Snipers/Cars then I have to choose XXX Commander as it has Guards. Otherwise I am screwed for AT when the early armored cars hit. -If I got T2 Maxims/Mortars/Guns then I have reduced capping power so I have to choose XXX Commander as it has Shocks. Or in Team Games -I'll just choose the guy with the funny hat because then I get the KV-8 and IS-2 rape machines with their buddy rapoplane. Obviously these are pretty generic but not uncommon lines of logic for a Soviet player. You people are bitching that Soviets are a one dimensional army that relies upon unit spam. Have you stopped to consider this is how Relic designed the fucking faction? When you are forced to build only 2/4 total buildings and get the rest of your units from a Commander doctrine then this is what you get. Soviets are a one dimensional spam army. Ostheer is an extremely versatile army that has way more tools in the box and given the right skill level could probably win even without a commander due to the sheer amount of powerful non doctrinal units. The Soviets on the other hand have one tool: a hammer, and it has to work otherwise they lose. So yea your gonna see some pretty big fucking hammers, aka maxim spam, truck spam, guard spam, sniper spam, EVERY GAME. Thank Relic for that. I hate the Soviet design personally. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: HELP - OKW against Maxim spam28 Jun 2014, 16:38 PM I made a post about this as well on the balance forums. Basically if it's done right there is nothing you can do. If he goes con, maxim, maxim, mortar, maxim your going to run into the issue that he will push you back, dig in with covering maxim, mortar you, then creep. All the while the cons can reinforce maxim and cap while you lose total map control due to being unable to flank the maxims. If he garrisons good luck because the infantry field gun is just pathetic in terms of accuracy and splash. Plus it's super expensive so he can field more maxims than you can field guns. If you get a half track it's dead to guards and at guns. Then it's an early t34 for gg. This and an American rifle blob are gg in most 2 v 2 matches right now. You simply can't counter covering insta pin maxims with the current okw arsenal. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Maxim Spam vs OKW28 Jun 2014, 15:34 PM I have lost the last 5 consecutive team games to this strategy. It's pretty simple. The Russian player simply goes-->T2-->conscript-->maxim-->maxim-->mortar-->maxim. If there is US player he simply holds down the Rifleman button and gets LMGS or bars. The result it that OKW has almost no way of dealing with maxims that are covering one another. Flanking can work but on some of the new maps its all tight city fighting or hedgerows that prevent flanks. The useless infantry support gun which is super expensive has about 0 splash damage and while it outranges a mortar, if you spend your time trying to take out the mortar the maxims are already pushing you off the map. Then it's a simple matter of the Russian getting a field gun and it's pretty much gg. I've also noticed that even when I do get the gun firing on the maxims it's accuracy is hilariously bad, and it also seems to hit every building in between making it an extremely ineffective counter. Most of these matches aren't even lasting 15min on 3V3. I've even tried to get creative and get panzerfusaliers in cover with an officer but eventually the sheer amount of suppression means your constantly forced to hit the retreat button. I recall struggling as Ostheer with maxim spam, but with OKW it seems virtually impossible to stop against a competent player. OKW lacks the rifle grenades, mortars, flame throwers to deal with garrisons, or sniper option that made it possible to counter reliably. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infrared STG-4428 Jun 2014, 15:02 PM I appreciate the feedback, the entire command tree seems lackluster compared to the overwhelming deadliness of panzerfusiliers with the officer. Good to know I can stop wasting my time with it. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Infrared STG-4428 Jun 2014, 04:13 AM Hello everyone Just wondering if anyone can point out exactly what this upgrade does? From COH2 stats I see it dramatically lowers the DPS vs the MG34's at all but short range. Yet it says it's effective for long term engagements? I find the Obers to be better with the vanilla MG's and don't quite understand the point of this upgrade. Thanks. In: OKW Strategies
