Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 20:23 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 20:20 PMAerohank Thanks for the info Alex. Looks like the maxim will be in good shape now. Ostheer will need to counter with snipers or mortars instead of just vet2 rifle nades. OKW will need to counter them with either IR halftrack with sturmpio flanks and/or the leIG, or go for the AaHT or stuka. Honestly for OKW I think maxim spam is going to be a serious problem on some maps because of lack of flanking routes and the fact your indirect fire is locked behind a very large fuel cost. The new cheaper LeiG will be nice tho. Flak Trak to counter maxim spam ain't going to work when the same tier building it comes from gives you an AT gun. But it isn't impossible. In: Lobby

Because from the way you write about it, you clearly have no idea. I just spent like 2 pages explaining it but don't let those silly things called "facts" get in the way of your grudge posting! Most of the MG's have a suppression radius of 13, which is the area in which they do suppression. So think of it like the area around the squad your MG is shooting at. Now the nearby multiplier is what actually makes that radius matter In: Lobby
Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 19:42 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 19:37 PMAerohank Excellent, thanks for the info (so the maxim has suppression AoE of 10 then?). So now the Maxim will be able to suppress blobs finally, but not as well as the MG42. That's fair in my opinion. Most of the MG's have a suppression radius of 13, which is the area in which they do suppression. So think of it like the area around the squad your MG is shooting at. Now the nearby multiplier is what actually makes that radius matter, up until now the maxim did functionally no AoE suppression because the .4 multiplier killed any hope of it. Now that it's tuned to .8 like the rest of the MG's in the game it can actually deal with blobs (or at least much more than it could before). Some stats: Suppression radius of the MG34/42/.50/Dhsk cal is 13 Suppression radius of the maxim is 10 Also to note the Maxim will finally be getting the incremental accuracy buff the other MG's got to!

Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 19:24 PMAerohank But not the same suppression AoE. So it's still not really clear how good it will be now. Might actually suppress 2 squads holding hands now without having to switch targets manually, but I doubt it will do anything more than that since it just does not have the AoE. The MG42 had a suppression radius of 10 until the very last patch, now the maxim (suppression wise) will be the MG42 before the latest patch. So yes it will do AoE suppression now. The maxim technically always did AoE suppression, it just did extremely little now it will do AoE suppression like all the other machine guns in the game do. Not AoE suppression stop making shit up pls The nearby multiplier is what gives machine guns AoE suppression, that and suppression radius. In: Lobby

Conscript's that were "dying" or "crawling" around on the field lasted a loooot longer than other infantry did leading to Conspam essentially giving you free recon all over the map from "dead" bodies In: Lobby

They still have 25% received accuracy. A bit afraid of sov tech changes, can kill this faction. T3 being cheaper and faster with both t1 and t2 being cheaper kills the faction? What? In: Lobby
Thread: Patch July 21st preview with Dusty and Luvnest13 Jul 2015, 18:48 PM Maxim spam is going to make a come back in a big way against OKW now that the Maxim has AoE suppression. Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 18:46 PMJadame! And why maxim and 50cal (hopefully DShK would be decent after patch) not doing their job? Because CoH2? Also only blind cant see problem with hmg42 in building killing 2 maxims in building. I do not want suppression nerf, it as it should be, i want damage nerf, it too damn hight. Allied MG's greatest enemy is now dead (vet 2 rifle nade) and the maxim can deal AoE suppression on blobs while being able to pack up and move around to deal with blobs faster than MG42 can.

Thread: When did Germany gain Alien tech?13 Jul 2015, 18:21 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2015, 18:19 PMelchino7 I was under the impression OH cammo didn't work like that (i could be wrong although). I played against a Pathfinder spammer the other day and his squads were cloaking on retreat and my JLI are doing the samething. I don't know if Snipers can do it because I don't face them often (lucky me) and I don't use them barely at all. I know that hold fire also know allows you to advance JLI squads while cloaked which is p cool. In: COH2 Gameplay
