Thread: Combined Arms Strats27 Aug 2014, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 05:59 AMOhme T2 + T4 + Counterattack Tactics Doctrine Con, Maxim, Maxim, Con (Or Maxim), Engi (or Mortar, but I hate soviet Mortar), AT Gun, Shocks, T4 -> SU85, Kat, KV1s. The extra engi is for laying mines mostly. They're cheap and can cap territory. This is a very good team game build. Build a B4 if the situation calls for it. thank you everyone for all your suggestions, especially ohme! I will have to test these strats out. What makes counterattack doctrine optimal for combined arms, ohme? I don't have it but maybe I will have to get it In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: My thoughts & ideas on Conscripts27 Aug 2014, 14:29 PM I am not sure about the numbers so vet changes may or may not be a good idea. But this is for highly vetted squads only so I think we would not see a huge game changer, just a small one. The player would have to build more conscripts during the game, and need the tools and skills to keep them alive til late game in order for these benefits to kick in. but Cannonade, I think what you are saying about grens getting upgraded because cons get upgraded is unreasonable. the whole point of helping cons late game is that they retain their usefulness. Molotov and AT nade drop off once the high dps infantry and high armor vehicles roll out. All the work that the player puts in keeping their cons squad alive quickly evaporates. Grens get the LMG upgrade which increases their damage a lot. I would say their usefulness significantly goes up, while cons squads flat line around mid game In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My thoughts & ideas on Conscripts27 Aug 2014, 14:13 PM It is also a good reminder for all that we want changes for vetted cons (I hope I am capturing the general tone of this thread). Having them at vet 3/2 and around all game long should be rewarded/incentivized. early/midgame con squads are ok and I don't think anyone wants to change that. Also, no one is suggesting that conscript squads just roll over all other infantry late game, just a modest upgrade/stat boost for vetted infantry In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A.I. in automatch game drops27 Aug 2014, 14:08 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 09:47 AMHogman512 I've got mixed experiences and opinion of AI. If a player drops straight away as the game loads, the AI usually sucks for whatever reason. If the player drops half way through the game, the AI is usually fairly good. I've also noticed, that the higher the level of the person who dropped, the better AI is. One thing a lot of people don't know or do, is use the "attack here" flare to control the AI. Flare an area on the map and AI will start sending units there to cap. It worked in vCOH and it still works now. Most of the time continuous flaring of a VP will result in the AI spamming it's army at it until it's caught, or atleast to keep it de-capped from the enemy. really? holy smokes ti will have to try that. I also agree about the ability of the ai at different points of the game. It is easy to roll over the ai right a the beginning, but the longer the game runs/accumulation of units, the better the ai seems at managing those units In: Lobby
Thread: My thoughts & ideas on Conscripts27 Aug 2014, 04:34 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2014, 22:54 PMOZtheWiZARD Sorry but wouldn't this require some changes to Shocks and Guards as well? I am really curious what kind of scaling do you have in mind as it is my understanding that Cons current state it's an outcome of design choice. Popular reference to Volks doesn't quite fit here as they only scale in form of survivability rather than overall performance. Sure they got Shrecks but first of all they only have one piece of this equipment and second of all they're lacking any form of vehicle snare (which is only available to OKW through doctrinal infantry.). I ma not talking about the subject of Vet5 as I believe this is an OKW specific feature and it applies to all OKW units. When playing Soviets I have been always using Cons as utility unit late game rather than main fighting force, unless equipped with doctrinal PPSH, relying solely on Shocks and Guards to do the heavy lifting. I mean as pointed out before merge itself is a very potent ability that allowed me to save a unit or a weapon platform and simply stay on the battlefield and fight, retreating and reinforcing a Cons squad instead. I guess my biggest concern is that when Cons will be scaling late game then this may cause some serious balance issues since we will be facing a strong 6 men squad backed up by very strong Elite infantry. I mean Shocks are pain to deal with as they are right now (NOT saying they are OP btw). I fear that this combination would simply be too strong. Even when you consider other factions "elite " squads they're usually four men (with some exception) which kind of make them vulnerable to counters. After all it's easier for T-34 to kill a Gren squad than for PzIV to finish off a squad of Cons. To be honest I would love to see something done to Penals as right now they are this weird unit that serves no purpose. In my opinion anyway. don't worry, i don't think anyone wants to buff cons to the point whee they can a-move and destroy everyone. Changes will obviously come to other units to help smooth things out. I think the concept behind buffing cons is that they are the main fighting force of USSR (their descriptions says they are the core of the Soviet army). They should be useful late gae and not just utility units. obviously, you are bound to replace your crappier units for elite units, but cons supposed to be the heart of USSR and are built early in the game in somewhat significant numbers (2-3). Thshould be some kind of reward for keeping these units alive and vetted. When people say they are good meat shields, this is kind of silly. Other units die as well just like conscripts. Conscripts are also very fragile even with vet3. In: COH2 Balance
