Thread: light tanks and half tracks9 Oct 2015, 03:54 AM This would represent a major nerf to the Ostheer thing as the Allied factions have far more light vehicles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: vs. US Captain Meta6 Oct 2015, 05:29 AM I'm having a lot of trouble against the current Rifles>Stuart>Pack Howitzer game and am seeing it in pretty much every game vs. US now. I usually go three or four Grens plus a Sniper or MG42 into T2 and the PaK, but I seem to get outnumbered and outcapped early and then have a lot of trouble actually killing the Stuart. Anyways, I would really appreciate help in dealing with this. In: Ostheer Strategies

Fixed. Thanks. Jump back to quoted post1 Oct 2015, 03:09 AMturbotortoise Is there really a need for a PaK40 earlier than it arrives already? No, not really. But this isn't about timings - it's about giving the Ostheer more teching flexibility. And it solves the Sniper issue. In: COH2 Balance

Pak T1 and Faust delayed is probably the worst idea to improve Ostheer early game. The idea isn't to improve their early-game. It's to give them more teching flexibility and give them an easier time with light vehicles like the Stuart and T70. Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 10:39 AMEsxile -Pak cost a lot of MP, 1+1/2 grenadier mp squad. So instead of 1Pio+1Mg+4Gr, you'll have 1Pio+1Mg+2Gr+1pak. Your field presence will be ridiculous and you'll bleed hard vs cons or rifles. So why the hell would you buy a PaK as your fourth unit against Conscripts and Rifles? Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 10:39 AMEsxile -No Faust mean M20 and M3 will ride freely on the battlefield and you'll have a hell of time to micro you pak to shot them 2 times. Maybe, but even one PaK hit would force them to retreat and repair. And Panzerfausts at Battle Phase 1 still arrive pretty quickly - pretty much at the same time the M20 arrives. Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 10:39 AMEsxile And this, just to believe you'll be able to skip T2... No 222, no Pzgren and no 251. T1 Sov and T1 USF will become meta insta-win vs you. You don't have to skip T2 with the above changes. It would just make it an option. Access to the 222 and 251 would be completely unchanged. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Proposal For Improving The Ostheer Metagame30 Sep 2015, 05:24 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 05:12 AMskemshead 1. Sov m3 are not a huge issue, but will be if you think pak is a better counter than fausts. m3 will just drive behind pak and wipe it. Same applies to Universal Carrier. No faust means Ost will have to keep all squads together or else get wiped by anything on wheels. I know it's not a big issue. I was worried that if the PaK was moved to T1 it would make the M3 and Universal Carrier completely useless, so I thought it would be a good idea to make Panzerfausts require Battlephase 1. Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 05:12 AMskemshead 2. If you cannot get a pak out before a t70 or Stuart your either getting outplayed , not preparing for it or just need to l2p. The problem here isn't that you can't get a PaK out. It's that you're forced to go T2 by the six minute mark every single game. In other words, the current meta-game allows the Wehrmacht no teching flexibility whatsoever. I figured that moving the Sniper to T2 would help the British out while also providing a reason for Wehrmacht players to build T2. Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 05:22 AMCorsin All popper AT guns are T2 for all factions. Gives incentive to tech. This is blatantly false. The ZiS is accessible at T1 - Soviet "T2" is a tier-one building, as you well know. And using the non-word "popper" to avoid referencing the Racketenwerfer is silly. It serves the function of an anti-tank gun. Plus even the US 57mm is sort of tier-one, thing as teching straight to the Captain is possible. Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 04:52 AMMr. Someguy The reason they actually nerfed this is because they wanted the British Sniper to be able to counter-snipe, and the Ostheer Sniper's re-cloak was faster than the British Sniper's aim time. I didn't realize this. Good point. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Proposal For Improving The Ostheer Metagame30 Sep 2015, 03:58 AM I believe the following Ostheer changes would solve several major balance issues and improve the meta-game for all factions. Wehrmacht Sniper moved to T2 - This change will prevent the Wehrmacht Sniper from inflicting massive manpower bleed on thre American and British players in the early-game. PaK40 moved to T1 - This change will help the Wehrmacht counter the powerful Allied light vehicle mid-game. It will also allow the faction to skip T2, which is virtually impossible to do right now due to the dominance of Allied light vehicles like the Stuart and T70. Panzerfausts require Battle Phase 1 rather than T1 - With the PaK40 moved to T1, the Wehrmacht will no longer require immediate access to Panzerfausts in order to hold off Allied vehicles like the Universal Carrier and the M3 Scout Car. Wehrmacht Sniper cloak nerf reverted - With the Wehrmacht Sniper moved to T2, he no longer needs the super-long recloak time. Moderate T3 building fuel cost increase - With the PaK40 moved to T1, many Wehrmacht players will choose to tech from T1 straight to T3 and rush armour. This change will make that strategy riskier and prevent Wehrmacht tanks from hitting the field too quickly. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Current State of Balance29 Sep 2015, 08:46 AM I'm back wondering if swapping the PaK gun with the Wehrmacht Sniper would be a good idea. It would prevent the sniper from dominating the British and Americans in the early-game while helping Wehrmacht players deal with Allied light vehicles in the mid-game. It seems to me that this change, along with a moderate decrease in the cost of the Wehrmacht T2 building and a moderate increase in the cost of the T3 building, might fix a lot of meta-game problems.
