Thread: My Thoughts on USF Anti-Tank Structure... 9 Oct 2014, 06:36 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Oct 2014, 22:56 PMwillyto Yet they only have two types of Infantry viable: Riflemen and Paratroopers(Doctrinal) I guess they didn't think about infantry focused faction thing when they designed USF. How are they supposed to be an infantry faction if they don't have viable infantry at all? I guess by adding weapon racks which are actually useless and way too expensive. I'm not asking for Pershing but everyone of you saying always that it's a design choice as an argument really have a close mind. If something isn't working there is need to be flexible with the factions. And why Pathfinders and assault engies are not viable? Maybe all of these problems will cease to exist if they will just do something about kubel. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Remove Road to Kharkov from the map pool please8 Oct 2014, 10:55 AM I love this map to and the fact that people are so contradictory related to if it favors southern spam or northern spam shows that it is actualy pretty balanced. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: PAK 40 is overperforming when compared to other AT guns7 Oct 2014, 18:07 PM Of course Pak 40 seems like overperforming if we compare it to.... raketenwerfer. But wait, it's not like pak 40 is overperforming. Raketenwerfer is a little shitty! In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Munitions abilites GREATLY Allies Favour7 Oct 2014, 12:56 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2014, 11:20 AMtaxman66 Err use a stuart or 57mm? Seriously do you think everything OKW has is OP? I've got the same sensation when people here coplained about almost every single OKW unit. The truth is somwhere between though, for instance I do agree OKW has a powerfull start (better than all other factions) and this is due 90% to actual kubel state. But if USF/Soviets can resist, the midle game will begin to favor them. And that's when they have to push. Late/end game brings again powerful tools for OKW but Allies got solutions against them (B4, P47 air raid, ISU....). You just have to be a devil with USF to win though . In: COH2 Balance

Sturmpios are expensive to reinforce use that to your advantage. If you make contact with a sturm pio squad at long range, they'll be dead before they can kill a second rifle model. of course all is conjectural, I won't deny it, but what is certain is that a properly manned sturmpio-kubel-volks combo will win in most of cases against a properly manned rifle-RE combo. And that's a fact. I am walking pretty sure with OKW combo in startgame but alot less sure with that USF combo In: COH2 Balance

You should probably check on that. Rifles lose to sturmpios every time if you know how to use sturmpios. Rear Echalon lose to every starting OKW unit. They have the voley fire ability but even using that ability nobody guarantees that they will realy force retreat, and anyway, their supressing power it's nothing compared to what kubel can do. If you want to imply that OKW has a weaker start than USF.... then let's say your USF game experience is very very questionable. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Munitions abilites GREATLY Allies Favour7 Oct 2014, 05:37 AM While I agree with the fact that those soviet mines act sometimes as they are completely broken, I don't think it's fair to judge like that. Yep, in 90% of their games OKW can't afford to build mines, for instance. That's why that fortifications doctrine cannot show its entire value. BUT let's imagine what Allied infantry would be (doesn't matter what unit we are reffering to) without amo upgrades. I think it's quite clear for everybody. On the other hand, what amo upgrade OKW needs? Its units are armed with everything they need, with the exceptions of volks, of course. Not speaking about those 10 amo grenades (infiltration tactics) from scavange and special operations doctrine. So I think Allied are pretty much AMO DEPENDANT, not the OKW, but this is not a problem for them, because they usually have plenty of it. Sure it's frustrting as an OKW player to look and see your 80% AMO income but then you realise you're doing just fine with this income and you're doing fine without planting mines. So related to amo income and usage, dunno, I think the things are pretty balanced and sensible. In: COH2 Balance
