Thread: Why isnt Lend Lease meta?11 May 2015, 02:33 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2015, 01:39 AMelchino7 Something tells me you are again spreading false information. Part1: http://www.coh2-stats.com/squads/guards_troops_assault_mp: that says it's 32.3 till 6 range. Although, i think the site accounts as 6 SVT squad. 3 SVT + 3 PPSH: 39.717/8.052/2.325 Note: they don't use Shock profile, so they only do damage at sword range (6). You want to compare it to another unit? Assault Grens: 42.45/14.79/1.36 You know how most people say that Assault Grens are lackluster and don't scale to late game. Well, Ass Grens are a 0 CP unit, imagine them arriving at 5 CP. Conscripts PPSH is not meta > Assault Guards won't never be meta. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Part2: Assault Guards having better veterancy than PTRS Guards. Assault Guards: -29% RA, +40% Acc, -25% Cooldown, +25% Nade range Guards: +10% Pen, +30% Acc, -20% Cooldown, -17%/-29% RA, +30% Button Defensive vs Offensive edges. Not neccesarily better. TL;DR: they don't have awesome close range DPS. Vanilla Paratroopers laugh at them at ALL distances for example. They have worst midrange damage than Assault Grenadiers, and they don't have means to get into close range in comparison to assaulting units (sprint, hoorah, smoke or armor). Assault Guards use the 3 of the Shock Troop PPsHs, and 3 of the Penal SvT's. The only unique PPsH's in the game are the Conscript one and the Partisan one. Were are you getting their info that they use the conscript/not shock PPsH? Not to mention the fact that the earlier received accuracy you get sooner allows you to keep them around longer meaning a higher chance of getting somewhere veterancy wise. Again this is working around the point of the fact that they are A. cheaper than Guards, B. Come with a reinforcement field HT that you can also use to cart them around doing close range DPS to things or throw a flame engineer (or penal) or two in. The Dshk allows you get suppression with out t2, the Guards + HT lets you get a HT without T3, and the M4C is arguably one of the best mediums in the game with it's insanely good DPS. The reason this commander is seen as lackluster is because of the power of Guards Motor and Shock Rifle comparatively, but Iv seen many very good players use this to kick ass. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: No tech demo just poor design.11 May 2015, 01:29 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2015, 00:28 AMilGetUSomDay The increasing of OKW's munition income, and Kubel buff would disagree with your first statement. 1 vetted gren squad with an lmg is a perfectly good trade, its a fine use of a Demo. I watch a lot of high level play and demos do not supremely punish any of them. They might take a loss here and there but they are never utterly devastated like lower tier players whom loose a lot to demos. spreading out has its pros and cons, you have a higher chance of detecting a demo or mine and yet you also have a higher chance of missing a demo or mine depending one how far you are spread out. I said it was a good trade, but OKW's munition increase wasn't new game focused at all and doesn't arguably make up for the rest of nerfs OKW received over time. Speaking of which you seem to be upset about cons being an effective early game unit with no tech requirements. OKW would like to say hi Every starting unit in the game is better than Volks, so this really isn't an argument. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why isnt Lend Lease meta?11 May 2015, 00:40 AM Jump back to quoted post11 May 2015, 00:19 AMSpearhead I think they are rather useless, I just like to pick equipment up with them for nasty surprises when it gets flanked by weak inf. They are a close range unit that actually somewhat scales out to medium range, they are the opposite of guards which are a long range unit that scales somewhat to medium range. Really for how much your paying for your getting a good deal, especially with how good merge squad is when you have a HT near by, or just reinforcing out in the field. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why isnt Lend Lease meta?11 May 2015, 00:13 AM Also Assault Guards have better veterancy bonus's than regular guards and have 51 close range DPS so I don't know wtf the people who are saying they are terrible are on about. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: No tech demo just poor design.10 May 2015, 23:12 PM The idea for every nerf or removal there needs to be a buff is insane and stupid and has no bearing on Relic's history at all. We have seen a constant nerf to OKW's early game since WFA release and see no buffs or changes at all to help it. The issue with Demo Charges is that they punish smart players AND stupid players. 1 demo to instant gib a single squad with Vet and an upgrade is excellent. 1 dead Vet 2-3 gren with a LMG42 is an excellent trade for 90 munitions. So yes, it does punish blobbers, but it also punishes people who makes use of spreading out squads around to map to cap and cut off people because 1. You can't spam Sturms OR Pio's, and 2. You can't spam the upgrade either. Mine detection for Axis is neither cheap nor plentiful, making demo charges a very large issue even in higher skill modes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why isnt Lend Lease meta?10 May 2015, 23:07 PM The M4C is bar none the best Sherman in the game, the DPS it's capable of putting out is incredibly good. 1 on 1 it will beat a PIV while only costing slightly more and a swarm of M4C's can wreck anything in the game. The speed + ROF allows it to do a lot of damage before having to retreat because you can count on being able to get away fast. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Jagdpanzer 4 - Underrated and Underused?10 May 2015, 23:05 PM It's map dependent, some smaller maps with lots of shot blockers and flanking points make using it an absolute nightmare. It's attributes are exaggerated, IIRC it's got less penetration and a lower ROF than the SU-85 and penning it frontally with the Jackson is much easier than it used to be. In: Lobby
Thread: OKW Op.... really?8 May 2015, 22:37 PM Jump back to quoted post8 May 2015, 22:34 PMBurts Falls combat wise are scaled to around ~385 mp performance. They also are quite fragile, so calling them in behind the lines is not always the most optimal strategy in the world. Normally the best way to get Fallsch later in the game is to use the Air Assault ability on a contested VP to lock it down for a bit and get a free squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Op.... really?8 May 2015, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post8 May 2015, 19:32 PMelchino7 150% extra damage JIV vet 5 using cammo deals 400damage with almost 100% guaranteed accuracy and penetration. Only bounces against an IS2 at max range 9.3% of the times. 400 of 1080 is roughly 35%. So yeah, not half HP but decent. Anyway, keep fighting each other. Don't do math to early in the morning kids Regardless, I don't think the Vet 5 JPIV is much a problem. In: COH2 Balance
