Thread: Artillery Officer 10 Mar 2015, 23:07 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2015, 22:55 PMWhat Doth Life?! The officer model used to have something like 4 armor. It was ridiculous. You deserve a promotion when you're 266% tougher than Ivans in body armour. Fun times. In: COH2 Gameplay

I still like it over HE Shermans because one of them is much easier to micro than reversing Shermans and having them still fire. Scotts can just go "REVERSEREVERSEREVERSEREVERSEREVERSE" at the first sign of trouble and remain usable. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 10 Mar 2015, 01:29 AM Yes, the theory isn't a very likely thing to apply to tripod-mounted HMGs (the findings relate to the Americans' development of the M27 IAR, a squad automatic weapon). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's Make USA Easier to Play Late Game10 Mar 2015, 01:05 AM It would be much better to reduce micro of vehicle crews by giving them an option to automatically hop back in after fully repairing than totally gutting the mechanic. It is legitimately a ridiculously cool new mechanic that is a defining point to the USF. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 10 Mar 2015, 00:16 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2015, 00:00 AM☭ Калашникова ☭ All i am saying is that the maxim had generally not very many positives when compared to the 42, I say this from a design standpoint (Gotta give the maxim some credit it came 32 years before the 42) And also from personal experience of firing both guns on a semi regular basis (About twice a year) Yes, for actual gameplay, it would be difficult to both accurately represent the Maxim and give it advantages since its advantages were more for personal and logistical matters that the game would never hope to model (because who the hell wants their HMG crew to change water or barrels too?). One could argue its lower fire-rate could justify its better single-target suppression with some modern findings that accurate fire is far more effective at suppressing experienced troops than less accurate and higher volumes of fire, but that would be a lot more arguable since accuracy would still come down to the gunner using it.

Related to what I said, yes. PM1910 Maxims definitely wouldn't be the best HMG to garrison in a large building with that taken in account. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 9 Mar 2015, 23:39 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2015, 23:21 PM☭ Калашникова ☭ I didn't realize a 11Kg (25 lb) MG-42 was more encumbering than a 65Kg (140 lb) Maxim. If we're discussing the effects of weight on ease of use, I'm pretty sure being on a wheeled mount would have the Maxim win because you're not carrying the entire thing yourself. Of course, said wheels would certainly mess up planting it down easily on rougher terrain and areas. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer - MG42 9 Mar 2015, 21:06 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2015, 18:39 PMElSlayer IIRC shocks' grenade is the weakest and guards' one is the strongest in the game. Nah, if we're not including Molotovs, that's the Volks' Model 24. 0.5 less radius and 0.125 guaranteed one-shot radius than the Mk. II, same cost. Actually, Shocks' have the same AoE and damage as the Mk. II. In: COH2 Balance
