Thread: So Sturmpioneers... what do?12 Sep 2014, 10:44 AM You guys are so pleased about new SP that I will just continue using them to see if I'm not mistaken. But seriously, that is not the impression I had while playing them at all! In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Something needs to be done about blobbing.12 Sep 2014, 09:56 AM Wow, the heavy Soviet player is complaining about blobs. The irony.... "The only faction that should be allowed to blob is my faction!". Let's get this straight. Supposing you could not blob anymore with soviets you would still have your tanks. Aside infantry, what should okw rely on? But if you don't play with it, you can't understand. It's like asking from Bill Gates to imagine he is a poor Africa inhabitant with a small wage and a lots of mouths to feed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ninja changes for 9.9 patch12 Sep 2014, 08:49 AM Nothing wrong with the kubel, it is now where is supposed to be. The only problem that OKW has right now is the sturmpio nerf. It's not ok to be obliged with a 4 models squad without armor, which costs alot and takes forever to reinforce, to be obliged to charge into almost melee combat. At least, speed up the reinforcement time, and lower a little the reinforcement cost! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerwerfers kinda suck12 Sep 2014, 06:17 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2014, 05:40 AMSarantini Firing a pwerfer from max range is terrible, you really need to get close and then you can do some serious damage. So i wouldnt say its bad, the range is just misleading Yep, it's perfectly logical that I have to close in with an ARTILLERY unit to do a little damage . Katiusha for instance, doesn't have to be near the target to kill some models.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 9/9 Balance Patch12 Sep 2014, 06:15 AM Hi, about Sturmpios changes (how do they feel ingame): Before, the best use was in cover, efficient from middle to close combat and still doing "some" damage from far distance, while being in cover all/most of the time. The problem now is that we have to learnn using them like shock troopers closing them to hug distance in order to kill efficiently. What I cand tell you about this is: 1 - STG 44 is not a SMG. It's an assault rifle. It's stupid to impose sturmpios to be used in this way. 2 - If you wanted them to be used in this way, they should have modified the values that grant them a more efficient defence. The received accuracy modifier it's not enough. 3 - They are an expensive unit. In addition, takes alot of time to reinforce. So, there is a verry big contradiction between their highest efficiency range and the way they should be used. I mean: before, because to reinfoce them was costly and took forever, they where used from mid distance alot and even from far distance in order to minimize losses. Loosing to quickly 1-2 models from squad was not the way to play them because of facts presented before. Now, while none of these facts changed (reinforcing time and cost), I am obliged - in order to have the old efficiency - to close to my opponents troops at face punching distance, loosing models at a higher rate. Suddenly, I can tell you frankly, they don't worth it. The result: If you are playing without additional units like fallschirmjager or jager infantry, that means untill T4 you will have no efficient AI infantry which is verry bad against early allied blobbing, especially now, when (remember?) the mg34 was toned down alot. That shouldn't be a problem for Ostheer, but OKW has the fuel problem and it cannot compensate through AI vehicles like sdkfz AA in the same manner as Ostheer. Any vehicle build, equals to donating an organ. Costly and with consequences in future (Bad consequences if you have bad luck losing it quickly or if you build the wrong vehicle). That is the problem actualy. Sturmpios changes are contributing to overall okw infantry handicap increase which, in my view, is highly unrecommended given the resources situation. In: News

L2P issue, they are mid range unit, not SMG CQC one, use them from cover at mid range. Before, the best use was in cover, efficient from middle to close combat and still doing "some" damage from far distance, while being in cover all/most of the time. L2P means now to learn using them as shock troopers - aka no brainer unit - closing them to hug distance in order to kill efficiently. What I cand tell you about this is: 1 - STG 44 is not a SMG. It's an assault rifle. It's stupid to impose sturmpios to be used in this way. 2 - If Relic wanted them to be used in this way, they should have modified the values that grant them a more efficient defence.

Thread: So Sturmpioneers... what do?12 Sep 2014, 05:38 AM If you ask me, I guess Relic will change again the sturmpios. I mean they are quite broken now, and they don't serve their initial purpose. My intuition tells me that they will suffer contradictory changes in the future as pzgrenadiers did (Relic could not make up its mind related to them). I think that unfortunatelly sturmpios will suffer in the same way, and no reliable strategy can involve more than one squad. That it's sad In: COH2 Balance
