I'd complain about it myself if they weren't fine, but they pretty much are so I really wouldn't be into major changes for em'.
You don't need major changes, bring it up to 240 MP and just adjust the damage or accuracy so while it may not do much suppression is can actually kill shit. Right now it's just used because OKW has literally nothing else. |
heres a tip:
have all your AT guns bound to 1 control group. i dont normally use control groups, but for select cases (at guns and snipers) i do. keep your at gun group out of sight, behind your lines. when you see enemy armor, attack move to YOUR front line, instead of the enemies. the paks will automatically rotate to engage enemy armor, automatically engage at longest possible distance, and their reaction time is much faster than if you had manually set up the paks and then manually reposition them since theyre only setting up, theyre not tearing down and then setting back up again. this is how you should use AT guns for every faction.
I wasn't complaining about the performance of the Pak lol, I was being sarcastic. |
HMG34 is fine. Basically incapable of suppressing with the first burst ever, but it's cheap so just get at least two. If it needs anything more, maybe a bit of a long-range DPS increase (not to the 42's level, of course) so it can get vet a bit faster.
Maxim should a bit of an AoE suppression so it can actually handle blobs with spotters instead of having to micro each unit suppressed, probably at the cost of increasing the set-up time a bit because none of us regard the Maxim as slow/suppressing one target poorly, and that would be a reasonable trade-off to make it better at actually locking down areas - make it take a bit more foresight and positioning to safely get down like the HMG42/34, but not quite as much because it won't shut down such a large area as hard (Ok, those two can only actually shut down the entire area with vet to actually traverse any good, but...you get me).
The problem is that the 34 has all the weakness's of the 42 but none of the strengths. It should just do a lot more damage with less suppression or possibly faster swivel and reload speed.
The model for a unit shouldn't be "Like that other unit exactly, but shit" |
I like when people on one hand say its impossible to counter an IS2 with Dual Pak guns because they are fragile but thought the Pre Buff Jackson was just fine to deal with King Tigers....
When the Pak...has...better pen, same range...better DPS....is cheaper....
Wow I didn't know Pak guns had tracks that allowed them to move quickly at a moments notice, as well as a crew protected from small arms fire. And since when did the Pak get a turret? That must have been recent.
Crew weapons =/= tanks. You would have had a case if you mentioned the USF AT gun.
The IS2 isn't impossible to counter, but it's a huge pain in the ass and it sucks that when you buy a Tiger your paying the same price as an IS2 for lower armor and worse mobility. |
rematch!
I'm doing some randoms (losing some randoms), trying to git gud. Hard to go from no games to beating a top 300 1's player in an afternoon |
Anyone have any good strats for OKW in ones |
Well so much for Queen winning gracefully. |
And yet before WFA it wasnt a problem. Fancy that.
Every faction blobs but Soviets just suck at it because conscripts dont scale worth a damn. They are the WORST at blobbing mid to late game of ALL the factions. Even Ost does it better when LMGs hit the field.
Having blob counters isnt a bad thing. The more the better. Every faction should have a PLETHORA of blob counters and punishment tools. Personally I would like to see the ISG and Packhowi BOTH be BETTER then the 120MM. They should be defacto blob destroying tools for the WFA where the EFA need MG buffs and Goliath for Ost. Man I want to see that come back.
Edit:
And if you dont want to hit a demo just add a sweeper to your precious Blob instead of mindlessly running it around without one.
Soviets don't suck at blobbing, cons are fine against pretty much everything except LMG obers, especially if you combine your conscripts with Guards or shocks.
I'm totally in favor of blob counters tho, but the demo charge is good but should be something every faction has not just soviets. |
Queen got me, that I did 100% expect. Unsurprisingly a dude with 1 game as OKW in 1's lost to a dude with 300+ games as USF in ones. |
Why, you scared? This game wasn't my full potential.
I'm not scared, I'm having a laff at you coming up with excuse after excuse why you lost to a player who has a grand total of 0 1's games under their belt. |
