Why would anyone do that? The vehicle itself is rubbish and the ability is too munitions heavy to spam on multiple M8s. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Leavers are ruining the game25 Nov 2014, 08:50 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2014, 07:57 AMBeltFedWombat Sorry, but if you hop into a 4 v 4 on City 17 and two of your teammates immediately camp the non-resource point near the central VP and don't help with fuel then it's GG anyway. I've dropped when it's clear the ELO has dumped me on planet noobenstein. It's half an hour of my life I'm never getting back. This is the attitude that pisses me off. It's almost never completely unsalvageable in CoH unless you quite literally have several Tigers sitting in your base wiping everything. I can't count the number of times that a single push + arty combination when the enemy AT was out of position for a few seconds has won me a game outright - despite the fact that I was way behind.

Thread: Leavers are ruining the game25 Nov 2014, 07:03 AM It isn't just people not loading in or dropping early on, but, more annoyingly, people who lose one engagement, proceed to abuse their team-mates and then abandon the game (or worse, they start mortaring their ally's base). It isn't a rare occurrence either. Every second or third team game has some guy who throws a hissyfit even though the game is completely winnable. A LPQ punishment system would improve the team game experience significantly. In: Lobby
Thread: Obersoldaten and stuff23 Nov 2014, 05:34 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2014, 17:07 PMJaigen Simply use equal amount of mp against them. its hilarious how often i see players throw 2 rifles against 2 obers then loudly complain that obers are op. the only unit that can defeat them are the shocks so i find that balanced. Except that Paras worth 380 MP + 120 munitions each can't actually fight Obers cost-effectively unless they have a significant vet advantage - and munitions are worth a hell of a lot more than MP, especially to a USF player using that commander. Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2014, 14:28 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf Paras lay down when they fire their LMGs but they can also shoot while moving. Whether the guy with the LMG lays down or not is irrelevant. It looks a bit silly in case of Obers but that's it. You're right but, if memory serves me, Paras' accuracy on the move with LMGs is something in the region of 25% of their regular value while Obers get something closer to 75%. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thread: Deflection Damage 16 Nov 2014, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2014, 14:43 PMMettiu Dude we are not playing the same game.. You are playing something else so I think you should not be on this forum. I'm pretty sure he's playing the same game. The ISU may be a nasty infantry killer but it pales in comparison to the Elefant when it comes to AT capabilities. It's not a matter for debate either - the stats of these units are freely available and the Elefant quite clearly has better penetration, damage and armour. Incidentally, the PAK also has better pen and fires faster than the ZIS - even post-patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic, an idea for Volksgrenadier improvement15 Nov 2014, 08:30 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2014, 07:23 AMSierra You may indeed be overthinking it. Remember people, Volksgrenadiers only achieve vet quickly because of PANZERSHREKS, and their consistent combat with mechanized units This means that if you make your Volksgrenadiers become anti-infantry specialists over Anti-Armor specialists. They would then gain vet slower, and any that survive to Vet-5 would indeed have earned it. Also I find that Vet-5 Volksgrens still aren't quite as durable as Shocktroops, just my opinion though I guess. I'm not sure about the exact calculations involved with armour vs received accuracy so I can't comment with certainty on Volks vs Shocks. I suspect, however, the the difference in overall durability isn't particularly large between vet-5 volks and vet-3 shocks. You are correct in a sense about how Volks gain vet rapidly thanks to schreks. That being said, it isn't exactly difficult to get Cons/Grens/Rifles to vet 3 as it is and Volks are the cheapest of the bunch. Add in an anti-infantry package and they should pick up veterancy at light speed - same as always. I will say again that, if this were to be introduced, I don't see why anyone would bother with Obers again. By the time they become available you would already have multiple vet 3+ volks with automatic weapons that are not only more effective than unvetted (and probably vetted as well, given Volks' arguably superior vet bonuses) Obers, but are also vastly more durable and cheaper to reinforce.

Thread: Relic, an idea for Volksgrenadier improvement15 Nov 2014, 05:31 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2014, 05:22 AMSierra I've seen them, the only reason they vet quickly and acquire those bonuses is due to the fact they have to consistently engage vehicles. Which in turn gives them an absurd amount of experience. If they were to receive an anti-infantry package as a specialization, they would become very very vulnerable to vehicles, while remaining potent to infantry but also acquire vet more slowly! Surely then by the time they reach Vet-3 or Vet-4, or even Vet-5. It will have been very well earned by survival and use. Even without schreks they'll still vet up faster than any other inf squad due to their cost and their vet bonuses are still superior to all other inf. If you add STG-44/LMG packages on top of their crazy accuracy and tankiness at vet 3+, there won't be a single other inf unit in the game that will be able to stand up to them. If you genuinely want to deal with the schrek blob problem while giving OKW a muni sink (and I have my doubts), might I suggest that schreks should be removed in favour of an active AT grenade ability or something similar.

Thread: Relic, an idea for Volksgrenadier improvement15 Nov 2014, 05:19 AM Volks already scale absurdly well for their cost and your idea is to give them automatic weapon upgrades? I mean, have you ever actually looked at the crazy vet bonuses Volks get as it is? No one would ever bother with Obers again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US viable again? 4 Nov 2014, 04:10 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2014, 03:36 AMBeefSurge Mortar Half Tracks, Jackson's, and hoards of M1919 Riflemen have been doing the trick for me, assuming a) I haven't been swamped early game, and b) the enemy doesn't build that massive PaK on a choke point. In all the time I've used the Infantry commander I think I've seen the mortar halftrack get maybe a single kill. That thing is possibly the worst unit in the game. Also, the tank pathing (which is still abysmal) kills most of the effectiveness of Jacksons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does the M20 mine need to one shot the Puma?3 Nov 2014, 07:22 AM One would assume that it's supposed to prevent the Puma from steam-rolling USF T1. If the threat of an M20 mine is there, you can't just chase his M20 all the way back into his base. In: COH2 Balance
