Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..2 Oct 2019, 20:42 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2019, 20:32 PMJibberJabberJobber Ostheer just got a 100mp reduction for their T2 structure, I wouldn't give any more mp reductions. Instead, with the mainline buffs for Sov and USF, I'd just keep your composition at 2-3 Grenadiers max and back them up with infantry which deal more damage for their cost like Assault Grenadiers, (G43) Panzergrenadiers or Stormtroopers. I get either overwhelmed or outtraded in the lategame if I solely rely on LMG Grenadiers as infantry. Actually, certain players like Brosras, Jae, Nicko and Stuve like to skip T1 with double Pio + double MG42, rush out Pgrens, 222 and Jaeger Command Squad and give their 2-3 Pgrens G43's. Fully agreed from my level perspective. I also feel grens are simply unable to scake well and don't build them. It's sad though because it is a house of cards ost composition. In: COH2 Balance

This hurts the numbers of strats ostheer can attempt since again... grens lose vs most other mainline infantry and they do certainly don't trade well at all. Spot on - agreed fully In: COH2 Balance

I understand that sov snipers should have started shootnig 4 times per minute while ost snipers 7 times per minute once cons became 7 man units. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..2 Oct 2019, 19:41 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2019, 19:40 PMgbem Combat engineers dont recieve schrecks crit repair or satchels... Of course they don't. My point is that ostheer has engineers that are quite expensive (200) and are much worse than UK sappers, for example. They are more expensive than Soviet engies and not better than them. If they get sth like the things I mentioned losing their extra sight (which sb suggested), I'd like them to get, for example, an ability to equip a panzershreck. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..2 Oct 2019, 19:33 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2019, 18:22 PMMr Carmine Grens can build bunkers as well as do pio,s. And if the pios get demo,s shoudnt ce,s get extra vision range and cons and penal get a normal/bundle nade so the can actualy wipe easy? I'd say that: 1. To build a bunker you need manpower and it's rarely a good idea to invest 150 manpower (almost another sov engineer) in a static position unless you are winning anyway. I'd definitely prefer free sandbags for grens. 2. Extra vision was supposed to help ost deal with flanks but I'd rather not have it as engineers should sweep for mines, build base buildings, healing structure, repair vehicles, etc. so you rarely can afford to keep them them constantly supporting your mgs anyway. I'd reduce their vision in exhange for anything (crit repairs, non doc. satchels, ability to equip one panzershreck, etc. - they would be similarly useful to say UK sappers or Sov engies) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grens UP & G43s suck2 Oct 2019, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2019, 18:13 PMgbem Someone clearly does not play the soviets... engineers cost 170 manpower... play the other faction before complaining you dope My mistake (sorry) - but I love Soviets and play them regularly I'm a fan of Sov and always feel pity for ost when stealing their mgs and team weapons. I love how nicely they die to Soviet flame arty etc. And.... ....I really feel that too many forum writers keep boosting allies while forgetting about balance and I feel I have to defend the underdogs sometimes to make the game less frustating for those who want to play against those boosted allied armies. To the point - grens are the worst mainline infantry period. They have to rely on support weapons whether with or without g43s. The Soviet engineers just prove the point - a 170 manpower worth unit can stop them advance (1vs1) or make them fight from range for a good minute or two, effectively stopping them, and making them unable to cap. It's just ridiculous imo that there are players who seem to argue that grens are that good. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..2 Oct 2019, 14:01 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2019, 09:08 AMgbem this is such a hard l2p issue.. mrgame2 i would recommend learning to play the game properly instead of acting out like grens somehow cant compete against conscripts in case you ask the solutions are 1. dont fight conscripts that are in cover 2. use the riflenade if they are in cover 3. use vehicles to force conscripts out of cover if conscripts had their DPS maintained out of cover then it might have been a problem... this simply isnt true however soo the real issue here is you Why can't grens build cover if conscripts can?
