Thread: Fallschrimjagers need love! 20 Jul 2015, 21:32 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 21:02 PMBurts Fallshirmjaegers don't perform for a 440mp unit, because they ARENT a 440mp unit. Their performance is scaled to 380mp, and considering pgrens are 340mp, their performance for price is completely fine. They do singificantly more DPS than panzergrenadiers at all ranges, and have better vet as well. They cost 440mp because you pay 60mp to deploy them from buildings. Same thing is with paratroopers, you pay 380mp for them, but their upkeep and reinforce costs and performance costs are scaled to that of a ~336mp unit. So if you removed the spawning from buildings, falls would cost 380-390mp.\ And no, fallshirmjager are completely fine. But wait, oh shit , pgrens are op Considering Para's are scaled to 336 MP and out preform Fallsch DPS wise after the LMG upgrade I would say that just making Fallsch the same price and having them para dropped in would work just fine. But it still doesn't fix Luftwaffe Ground Troops being a mediocre doctrine choice. oh but they do consistently performs and more. they got bundle-nade, great vet 1 white phosphorous nade, booby trap, and panzerfaust. on top of everything comm_ash already pointed out. They don't have booby trap, thats JLI. Yes the abilities they have are far better than the unit itself. But I can pay 400 mp for a .7 received accuracy unit with booby trap, bundle grenade, and vet 1 white phos nade non-doctrinally. not only that the ability to spawn out of buildings with insane DPS and wipe snipers or an ATG/HMG for an assault is priceless. Depends on how close your are and how much your opponent is supporting his shit. Also depends on house placement. i am not opposed to make them airborne like paratroopers. that makes sense. but i wouldnt drop their price . just reinforcemanet cost to ~32mp or so. If they dropped in they could receive a slight cost reduction and reinforcement reduction since they wouldn't be "paying" for popping out of buildings. Alternatively give them better received accuracy so they don't need to cost less. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscripts need mid-game buff20 Jul 2015, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 20:31 PMBob Loblaw No more flame crits until a squad is basically dead makes using them tougher. I'm too lazy to look up the exact stats but I used to use flamethrowers all of the time and they seem less effective to me. They do better damage and have a higher chance of flame crits than they did before on low health squads. Flamers are far more useful than they really have ever been before. Relying on RNG bullshit to win the game is never fun. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Fallschrimjagers need love! 20 Jul 2015, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 20:32 PMpigsoup good post comm_ash. and no, alex, you did not just say that. fallschrimjaeger is at least very solid unit as comm_ash pointed out. on top of that, what i was saying is that Falls is the most consistent way to kill snipers in maps with decent amount of buildings. a.k.a. any maps but steppes I said that Fallsch should come from off the map instead of teleporting out of buildings. And no they do not consistently preform at a level that is acceptable for the most expensive infantry unit in the entire game. Their issues are not helped at all by the fact that Luftwaffe Ground Troops is a aggressively bleh doctrine that really gives you nothing but an HMG and the ability to maybe on some maps kill snipers. This green cover argument is also mystifying. Literally every unit in the game is better behind green cover. Seriously, are people so attached to their current form that them preforming like American Para troopers would be unacceptable? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscripts need mid-game buff20 Jul 2015, 20:26 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 20:24 PMBob Loblaw I would rather they made penals a lot better instead but since Relic nerfed flame weapons they seem to want to go in the opposite direction of that. I like the idea of non-doc SVTs and/or PPSHs. Especially with the molotov nerf cons suck even more at their post 10 minute role, dedicated grenade throwers. They need some sort of upgrade to stay relevant. They buffed Flamers by giving them much more consistent AoE DPS. The only flame weapons that are worse off are the vehicle based ones and the flame barrage abilities. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Suggestion: Rear Echelon Rework 20 Jul 2015, 20:21 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 20:08 PMEtherealDragon Personally, I think the USF would be best served by 1. Moving 50 Cal to HQ 2. Adding 60 MM Mortar to LT. This gives the US a similar array of openings to OST and grants another counter to HMGs/Garrisoned troops while at the same time giving you other units to build in the early game instead of just Rifleman X 3-4 What exactly would OKW do to counter a starting .50 cal? It would make the Kubel unusable versus USF and the tight hard to flank maps unplayable because OKW doesn't have smoke. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallschrimjagers need love! 20 Jul 2015, 20:18 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 20:03 PMVuther But mah HMG34 spam If it doesn't get a DPS increase, I'd be perfectly happy with a XP reduction requirement. Even with the old damage back it would still just be a worse MG42. Since the 42 is getting bumped up to 260 I don't see why the HMG34 couldn't get bumped up to 240 and get it's old DPS back. That being said I do agree with Comm_ash that they do perfectly fine in Cover. I think the trick is to play smart with them to get them Vet 4/5 where they become godly. 1. Not popping them too far behind enemy lines/unsupported. 2. Not playing them as if they are Shock Troops and YOLO charging at any unit you see. Except you have plenty of other units that can do what you describe, far, far better while not having to pay 440 manpower for them. Units don't exist in a vacuum; you can accomplish far more with an Ober LMG or Para LMG squad than you can with a Fallsch squad for a smaller price and more survivability. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Fallschrimjagers need love! 20 Jul 2015, 19:55 PM Luftwaffe Ground Troops doctrine in general needs to be looked at. Valiant Assault has been bugged and not working for ages now, the Luftwaffe assault ability is comically overpriced, and the Flak Emplacement from the additional fortification ability is a literal joke. Fallsch's mediocrity just compounds this doctrines "meh"ness. Suggestions; - Allow Sturms to construct beacons like Pathfinders so you can make Fallsch plane drops more accurate - Valiant Assault is just "For Mother Russia" copy pasted - HMG34 gets a price increase and it's old damage back - Luftwaffe Assault ability either gets a cost decrease or is replaced with Stuka bombing Strike giving OKW a way to counter enemy artillery. - Fallsch are now brought in by planes, but have .7 received accuracy and cost 400 MP. They scatter like American troopers do (which can be reduced through use of beacons). - Flak Emplacement is a building that cannot be decrewed, only killed like the Schwer. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Fallschrimjagers need love! 20 Jul 2015, 19:41 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2015, 19:26 PMcomm_ash They only die if you keep them out of cover. Green cover falls have always performed perfectly well for me. They are closer to "NDA INFANTRY" than anything else. Fallsch are just mediocre. They aren't bad, but they are worse than the alternatives. The popping out of houses gimmick is dumb as well. I would much rather have them faction like USF paratroopers do. I like reading alex posts. It seems like no matter what he does, he never gets matched with players below rank 3, its always very top players or korean level pro players who game for a living with omnipresent awareness and lightning fast reflexes and anticipation of oracle. do you keep your snipers away from the rest of your army and not pay attention to them? Because the line "well you can pop them out and kill snipers" assumes a lot of things. 1. Building heavy map to make possible 2. The building isn't garrisoned 3. Your fallsch won't die on retreat, if they do you just wasted 440 MP to kill 360 4. He doesn't just retreat them the minute he sees you pop out (wow clicking a button such korean micro) 5. RNG god favors you and he retreats towards you or across you instead of away from you. If a unit is mostly just ass or inefficient 90% of the time, it's bad/mediocre. Anti tank partisans can also kill a Stuka Zu Fuss if you get lucky, but I don't think that justifies them being unrelenting shit in all other scenarios. In: COH2 Gameplay
