Thread: What is it about the Luchs that makes it suck?13 Jul 2014, 03:18 AM OKW tiers and units are pretty FUBAR right now. Who would ever want a Luchs so late in the game when you are desperately trying to save fuel for panthers / tigers to fight enemy armor? If they put that in the first or second buildings it might actually get used before getting blobbed to death by bazookas. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs13 Jul 2014, 03:13 AM Still waiting for blobs to get fixed. Quite tired of 5+ squads walking right into my MG teams and just killing them without even getting suppressed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs10 Jul 2014, 00:33 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2014, 23:04 PMDullahan Anyone want to play a 1v1 and try their darndest to blob against me and see how it works out for them? I think you guys are failing to realize that artillery is already more accurate against blobs. It's called more surface area of the bombardment zone being full of juicy meatbags. Adding an aura to discourage blobbing is just stupid. I don't care if CoH1 did it, it was stupid then too. By the time that you get to real artillery, blobs have already won the game for your opponent. Mortars / infantry support guns cannot stop a blob. They best you can hope for is for a mortar to kill a few troops before they swarm over you and squadwipe all your units. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Match freezes, and you get defeat!8 Jul 2014, 01:54 AM I've had this happen a few times but the glitch that I have which happens ~3 to 5x a match is that my game will completely freeze, and then I'll be treated to a fast forward game about 5 sec later with my units inevitably getting killed since I wasn't controlling them for the time that my game was locked up. Hate that crap. In: COH2 Bugs

MG34 is decent enough but I've seen it get shredded by BAR teams who walk into its cone of fire and kill it while it is trying to suppress them. And besides, that's a doctrine unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs6 Jul 2014, 02:17 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2014, 02:11 AMDullahan Early game: Kubel. This guy requires a lot of care, and will likely die to schrecks anyway, but early on he can put you in a good position. Mid game: Flak halftrack. This thing when used properly is a complete beast. This is honestly one of the strongest counters to infantry blobs as long as you keep him repaired and be ready to screen an escape with some smoke. Late game blobs you really need artillery to contend with, which is fine because OKW has it in spades. The Kubelwagon is a piece of junk that dies to infantry even if you spend all of your time microing it to keep it out of enemy fire since one rifleman squad can shoot it half to death before it starts suppressing them. The flaktrack is defeated by 2 to 3 bazookas or even BARs. It's a piece of tissue paper overall. Hell, it's even defeated by minor changes in elevation which cause it to completely miss the target and fail to suppress. I love this unit as well, but it definitely isn't even a early game counter to blobs. And on late game, the damage done by the blobs is usually done by this point, and spending hundreds of fuel on artillery units cements your fate since you'll no longer have any left over for the tanks you were supposed to be saving up for all game long.

The walking stuka is effective against infantry, but only for 5 seconds every minute while the bombs are falling. The rest of the time those blobs are loose elsewhere on the map killing everything. Spending 100 fuel on a unit when I should be preparing for armor is not really a good tradeoff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs6 Jul 2014, 02:05 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2014, 01:58 AMDullahan If you can't counter an infantry blob, you need to learn how to use artillery and suppression tools properly. There's nothing to fix other than your shitty play. What suppression tools does the OKW have? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs6 Jul 2014, 01:55 AM In this thread we are going to talk about blobs. As the game stands right now, infantry blobs are one of best strategies to win for all factions (Soviets somewhat less so). Regardless of what you have on the field, a blob of infantry (riflemen with bazookas / BARS, obersoldaten + volks with shrecks, grenadiers + p.grens with shrecks) will disintegrate it in seconds. This is particularly destructive against OKW, where there is no way to suppress massive blobs of troops especially in the late game. The K.wagon as it stands right now is terrible and the flaktrack is extremely mediocre considering that 3/4 of the time it will shoot the ground or your own troops rather than the enemies. Both of these units are shredded by BARs and bazookas anyways, so there's no point in even calling them in. Game balance as it is right now seems to be at an all time low. It is extremely boring and frustrating to see massive walls of troops simply attack moved forwards until all enemy units are dead. Strategy? Who needs it. Relic needs to fix this, ASAP.

Thread: U 'BLOB' SA28 Jun 2014, 05:09 AM This needs to be fixed. I've lost multiple games now to blobs by 5+ squads of riflemen with BARs and bazookas. Even if I have multiple MGs set up in green cover with armor support, the BARs shred the MG teams to pieces before they become suppressed. You can't even use an Ostwind against blobs like this because 5 bazookas will shred armor in seconds. Also, grenadiers seem rather impotent right now as it feels like they can't counter even one squad of riflemen without any upgrades. In: COH2 Balance
