Thread: How come Axis infantry get all the snares?23 Jul 2019, 08:57 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2019, 07:14 AMKatitof Sure you can have them, but they come in package with PTRS and have a price of giving up 2 shrecks. Ok - so make them also bigger than 4 man squads, add decent anty inf capabilities even when ugraded with ptrs and also reduce armour on allied lights to the level of 222. Of course price of the ptrs sqhould stay the same. Just wrong way of thinking. Satchels are most useful for finishing off wounded tanks and make it completely impossible to push and circlestrafe AT infantry with a vehicle, plus punish hard all overextending vehicles. An You know all that but just pretend you are not aware. Incredible bias. In: COH2 Balance

They have no relevanz and are useless...so axis can have it...right? That was exactly the sort of argumentation some allied players kept using. Just no comment. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So are they really nerfing the Churchill Tank?22 Jul 2019, 20:08 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2019, 18:21 PMdistrofio Or they are such expensive because spamming such a proficient, late game securing, unit is batshit crazy OP. Performance would be the least of a long list of aspects that defines a unit cost Maybe just add higher fuel cost - but is really sort of park it in the middle and see what happens unit. I'm surprised with its acceleration: feels like the most responsive tank I used. And this funny grenade for 20 muni I would understand that USF should have cheap stuff - but Brits were resources starved during the war In: Lobby
Thread: So are they really nerfing the Churchill Tank?22 Jul 2019, 20:02 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2019, 17:37 PMSeductiveCardbordBox How are you finding Ost sniper plays so far? The problem is that I play 1v1 mostly against okw. Seems like ost is rather a rarity in 1v1 unless the player is a real pro. So, not yet encoutered any sniper plays but hioping to ghet matched against and ost player with a sniper. From may experience babysitting ost sniper can be rewarding but is even more risky than building pzgren shreck squad. You just need to have a smoothless game as ost and you win. A few mistakes and your totally doomed. With UK it is totally different. The units are more universal and you can keep boosting them. For example - double gren IS can build cover, call arty srikes, heal for free (itself and units around) and on the move, have acces to two typoes of grenades - just incredible. Just realised heavy sappers for 60 munitions get both quicker repairs and better guns - so cheap. Like I'll gibe you stens and maybe you should repair faster Back to the chrchill - I haven't manged to build one yet but cromwell is so cool The grim conlusion is that imho ost is still neglected while okw in 1v1 is just good even against UK. Still nice to come back to UK after a year or more. I still remeber simcity playstyle Now I play as if it was ost on steroids. In: Lobby

As I said, I thinkt biggest problem of UKF are the IS. Either they're slightly OP overall or too strong early on. They're almost undisplacable when in green cover, maybe their combat potential should be finetuned and some power from early game carried over to the late game Ive started playing them. I'm lvl10 now. Struggle vs okw while ost is piece of cake. In: Lobby
Thread: How come Axis infantry get all the snares?22 Jul 2019, 16:11 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2019, 15:46 PMSeductiveCardbordBox Why don't soviets or Brits have teller mines? Why do no allied TDs have Targrt Weak Point? Why don't allied infantry get access to any handheld AT that does as much damage as panzershrecks? Why don't allies have a retreatable AT gun? Why dom't allies have any super heavy tank destroyers? The answer to your question, and all of the above, is asymmetry. Assymetry is good. But snares on already decent at squads are just a bit too much imo. Especially against ostheer. OKW is simply more powerful. But slow repair speeds of ost plus only one infantry unit that has some decent at (panzergrens 340manpower + 100muni) can be just crushed by a vehicle. This unit also loses its anty inf potential almost completely. Anither thing is cmplete lack of any logics regarding some allies arguments. It was repeated very often that satchels have such a small range that are just impossible to use. Yet, when,in my opinion, underpowered ost should get them to offset the heavier and heavier allied tanks and limit cheesy strats of strafecircling expensive units there is suddenly a big no.

Don't, you know, screen your tanks or accept getting punished for blind advances. Nah. Just remove close range high damage abilites from the game. Krupp Stehl! Honourable mention to 'satchels mean I can't just drive my tanks over the enemy infantry and that's not fair'. U don't have to remove them. I would be against it. Just why, for example, a faction with IS2, t70, ISU 152, su85, KV series tanks, etc. has them and axis factions don't. Ostheer tanks are no longer so much heavier than allies tanks. I don't understand why allied infantry can punish overextended tanks in many more ways. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: How come Axis infantry get all the snares?22 Jul 2019, 07:21 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Jul 2019, 06:26 AMullumulu replace satchels with normal fausts. noone has problems with fausts. but a satchels has MUCH more impact for only some more muni. satchels even can not only do 400 dmg on one verhicle...in some situation it even make seroius dmg to other verhicles(even engine dmg) and sqauds. its in many fights pretty easy to give the enemy 2 satchels which means in most sitauations a dead medium/ heavy tank. to easy. and even when u think(hello katiodoof): "but you must come in rang 10 to set them up. so you must really bad at this game when you let penals comes in this range" True. But it means: the following: their very presence means you can not push into the enemys line, without getting a 400dmg satchel. this is a huge advantage. Oh...and there are MANY maps where you can easily use the view blocker to abuse satchels. Or get a commander with "FOR MOTHER RUSSAI" and easily overrun the enemy line, SMOKE and attack, let sit penals in M3 and drive into enemy lines. so many easy options ... but.... And to be honest, you could imagine even more satchel scenarios. That's why it should have some counterpart in axis rooster. In: COH2 Balance
