Thread: Axis panzershrek spam blobs- i'm losing it26 Jan 2016, 09:21 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2016, 06:14 AMDeath's Head Problem is Volks are way too versatile. Schreked and at vet 3+ and in blobs they can melt infantry and armour really quickly and require almost no skill at all to use. A-move OP, Relic nerf. But seriously they should have had AT infantry as completely separate squads of 3 or 4, very poor AI to the point of being defenseless if not protected with dedicated AI infantry. That would sort of help the Volks blob problem because a) it'd be harder to vet up AT squads and b) you can focus fire depending on what you need to kill. As it stands vetted schrek volks blobs have schreks evenly distributed between them so that even focus firing isn't that effective. Making a Tier 2 (meaning ISG tier for me) unit like "tank hunters", that come equipped with 2 shrecks by default, having verry poor AI capabilities while costing an appropriate amount of manpower would be the only choice if we consider removing shrecks from volks and give them other upgrade. Early-middle game anti vehicle counter for OKW will translate into raketen+Puma combo (if OKW player starts with T3 building) or into raketen+tank hunters combo (if OKW player starts with T2 building). That would be probably an interesting way to change OKW, but I sincerely doubt we will see that in the official game. Maybe in a mode. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: useless commanders: Firestorm Doctrine26 Jan 2016, 09:09 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2016, 18:27 PMG4bb4_G4nd4lf The Flammpanzer III would at least have a turret. I would've liked to see that one instead of the turretless tank. Mounting a flamethrower on a turetless tank or a tank destroyer seems a bad idea from start. I totaly agree with Flammpanzer III option. But I doubt Relic will listen. In: Lobby

Thread: Tactical Support Regiment, Artillery Cover Too powerful26 Jan 2016, 08:53 AM From my experience it's not easy to play brits. The early game is quite unforgiving. I found (in my case) easier to deal with Ostheer's problems early game than with UKF's problems. That is why in my opinion they deserve a strong late game. Like I said many times before, the british faction's design is unfortunate, because it affects in a bad way the overall Axis vs Allies gameplay, and if that is not necessarely a problem in 1v1s, it becomes a problem for team games. The other 2 Allies factions are designed to be at their best in early game, while Axis factions are designed to shine in late game. So in team games where there is also a brit player, Allies factions are stronger because they can overcome each other's wiknesses. So I think this is the root of the problem. Because as brit, you can't have a questionable early game then not a strong enough late game, otherwise this entire faction would suck hard. And this is how they were designed, to have strong vehicles and strong off maps, both late game features. In: COH2 Balance

I do agree from my 3v3 experience, but I still need some L2P . Fact is there is a quite big difference between: a) different modes (1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4). For instance, Axis is quite powerfull in 2v2s. b) arranged teams and randoms (and these categories are mixed quite alot in automathces unfortunately). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Re blance the jagtiger25 Jan 2016, 07:22 AM No, it's fine. On the other hand, maybe the british AT emplacement needs to be ble to shoot through obstacles, PAK43 style? It doesn't have such a big range... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Making HT+inf call ins more attractive. 22 Jan 2016, 14:40 PM For OH I would suggest that 250 come with an MG mounted on top. No supression just something sdkfz style. Totally agree on grens and pzgrens replacement with storms. In german mechanized doctrine they my come with stgs and in Mechanised assault they may come equiped with a shreck. And no reinforcement ability for the 250 ht. ...aaand these call-ins will look attarctive enough. In: COH2 Balance
