Thread: Relic, Sir, Are you high? (Pack Howie)24 Sep 2014, 04:35 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2014, 04:31 AMPorygon Even 95 isn't half, right? The 95 reinforce cost makes me think you stole it with Falls, right? Well the way reinforcing works is that the squad has a "cost" that may or may not be the same as the purchase cost of the squad. For example: Obersoldaten squad cost is 400, so 100 per man. Rifles is 280, so 56 per man. Falls is 380 (the extra 60 manpower being the cost of spawning in a building) so 95 per man. When you reinforce, the cost is supposed to be one half of the "cost" per man in the squad. So Obers are 50, rifles 28, etc. The Pack Howie is bugged so that you pay the full "cost" per man when you reinforce, when it is supposed to be half. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF and mobile rocket artillery24 Sep 2014, 04:20 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2014, 03:41 AMKallipolan Why should they? Not saying they can't, but I don't get this presumption that every faction needs at least 1 of everything (see: constant Pershing begging). Why shouldn't factions have intentional unit gaps? Diversifying the factions and their playstyles makes the games more interesting. If they really, absolutely need it to be viable then sure, but just "the other guy has it" is pretty much the worst reason you could give. That's all well and good, but it kind of feels that USF is missing more "stuff" than the other factions. No stock "elite" infantry (I know Penals are meh but they fit the bill) Kinda sorta countered by Rifles being the best stock infantry, but Rifles can't stand up to Axis elites outside of doctrinal LMGs. No heavy tank* * Obvious. Jacksons are strong, but whether that is enough is up for debate. Lack of mines Only faction with mines locked behind a tech choice and no anti-infantry mine at all. The doctrinal light AT mines are bad, and I think bugged as well. Could counter by saying USF is only faction with non-doctrinal tank traps. I'd trade any day. No Rocket Artillery* * No real mortar either, just the overpriced Pack Howie and the terrible doctrinal Halftrack. Priest is supposed to fill this gap I guess, but is doctrinal and in my opinion worse than the Katyusha and Stuka (but better than the Panzerwerfer). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic, Sir, Are you high? (Pack Howie)24 Sep 2014, 04:04 AM What kills me even more than the 480 MP cost (which is ridiculous) is the 11 popcap. That's insane for how this unit performs. It is incredibly hit or miss. Sometimes it actually hits stuff and kills three models, most times it just seems to miss. Auto fire range is also really short until vet 3. With the the inconsistency and cost of the Pack Howie, and the terrible accuracy of the Mortar Halftrack, USF arty is basically Priest or GTFO. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF paratrooper upkeep too high?23 Sep 2014, 23:30 PM Ambulance is technically optional, but unless you have a teammate who gets healing, you're going to be bleeding an awful lot of manpower if you don't get it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is OKW the strongest faction currently?23 Sep 2014, 22:00 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2014, 16:52 PMThunderhun Uh...soviets can get their T1 or T2 up at start. Ostheer can build T1 immidietly Ostheer doesn't have a fully combat effective tier in their HQ like OKW and (supposedly) USF do. Soviets start with enough fuel to get both Conscript upgrades, so they start with enough fuel to either get a free tier, or both Conscript upgrades and use their T0 as a "fully effective" tier.

Thread: Kubel vs Bazooka rush22 Sep 2014, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2014, 20:08 PMGazbag OKW are the only ones who don't need to spend fuel to get a way of suppression. Wehrmacht -> Tier 1 Soviets -> Tier 2 USF -> Tier 1 To be fair, both Wehr and Soviets start with enough fuel to get the appropriate building right away. For whatever reason, USF gets the most expensive MG that is also locked behind a fuel wall. Add on that getting LT for MGs generally means you're going to skip Captain, you won't have AT guns and MGs together unless you go Airborne (or went Rifle company and skip Major) In: US Forces Strategies
