Thread: Bars are the worst upgrade in the game.18 Sep 2014, 18:16 PM The problem, at least in my opinion, isn't even necessarily that BARs are bad. It's that the USF seems to be designed saying " Hey you! See these Riflemen? Shove 300 manpower/40 fuel and then 120 munitions per squad into them and they'll be strong enough to fight infantry battles the whole game." This just doesn't play out. Even with grenades and double BARs rifles just can't seem to compete with LMG Grens/PGrens/Obers/Falls. If you want to fight Axis elites you need Paratroopers (which you also have to shove munitions into). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer 1v1 USF18 Sep 2014, 11:30 AM Just make it to mid game, LMG Grens + PaKs pretty much counter USF In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New thought on WFA vehicle balance - repairing18 Sep 2014, 10:25 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 10:22 AMnee I actually prefer not to disembark and risk losing my crew just to repair, not when I have a place to retreat and have RETs for that job. Unless you're trying to repair on the front lines, this shouldn't be a problem. Relying on RE to repair is eliminating one of the strengths of USF, higher vehicle up time (and not having to waste pop cap on relatively combat ineffective builder units) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on Encirclement Doctrine?18 Sep 2014, 07:45 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 06:34 AMbobop6 Love this commander, though I find it works best on Minsk pocket. haven't lost one battle on Minsk Pocket using it. Minsk Pocket doesn't have particularly harsh cut offs or many buildings. Good on you for winning, but there are way better maps for this doctrine than Minsk Pocket. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: c0mpl3x1ty casts random games18 Sep 2014, 04:08 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 11:14 AMAlbus Also SC2 casts despite the fact I don't play the game; for some reason, despite the fact I don't understand the game mechanics at all because iv'e never played SC2, the casters just make it amazingly enjoyable. SC2 casters get so hyped up about every game. Probably doesn't hurt that most SC2 casts I watch are from live events, where the audience is also getting super excited. In: COH2 Shoutcasts

Thread: Why were scripts nerfed again 2 patches ago?18 Sep 2014, 00:53 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 00:47 AMTensaiOni I just don't think the survivability nerf really affects OKW vs Soviet balance, since conscripts aren't that useful in that matchup that much. Or at least, I haven't really noticed a lot of them. That's the problem. The "core" infantry unit of a faction shouldn't be useless in a match up. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stormtroopers Assault Rifles Upgrade18 Sep 2014, 00:03 AM Worth it. Gives them similar (the same?) weapon profile as PGrens with a cheaper reinforce cost. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Bars are the worst upgrade in the game.18 Sep 2014, 00:00 AM As it stands, would much rather give Rifles bazookas (never thought I'd say that) and use Paratroopers to fight infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are kubelwagens OP17 Sep 2014, 23:58 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 18:05 PMMr. Someguy Doing that would make the Kubelwagen more vulnerable to flank attacks, and highly vulnerable to AT Guns (one hit would kill it). The problem is Kubel has a tiny target size (for a vehicle). AT guns only have about a 30% chance of hitting it at long range. I don't think that it should get insta-sniped by an AT gun, but a small target size increase would help both AT guns and infantry anti-tank weapons to actually hit the thing. In: COH2 Balance
