Thread: OKW Need Some better Anti-Blob Tools28 Feb 2016, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2016, 21:28 PMMathias_Bras Good call. Brad however said blobbing was a part of the game. So I doubt that blob nerfing will happen. Anything that is in a game is actually a part of the game, blobbing is the same at least since you are allowed to bunch up units an move them altogether. BUT... (and that is a huge "but"...) Blobbing needs to have reasonable counter-play and not give tremendous benefits otherwise certain aspects of the game are practically rendered useless since their importance diminishes.

Thread: OKW Need Some better Anti-Blob Tools28 Feb 2016, 16:48 PM I believe that people here see the tree but miss the forest... What do I mean? The fact that OKW can't cope well with USF blobs doesn't necessarily mean that Relic should buff the OKW faction with anti-blob capabilities. Maybe considering what makes blobs that strong and tuning it down a bit would be better. These endless buff-circles is that cast some units OP'ed and others completely useless. Buffing X unit/faction to counter Y unit/faction that overperforms end up with X being way too strong for anything else in game! Just a basic question to start with... Why OKW have issues with USF rifle blobs and doesn't complain about SU Cons blobs for example??? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 6-Men crew for SU support units doesn't make sense.28 Feb 2016, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Feb 2016, 05:40 AMelchino7 Conscripts have too much utility! ^^ THATS what people said back then... still remember it like it was yesterday! Complaining about Cons spam and how Cons could be upgrade to Molotov, AT-nade, PPSh while being so cheap to build and reinforce. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 6-Men crew for SU support units doesn't make sense.27 Feb 2016, 19:14 PM I can't say that weapon teams can't be killed. The SU has many models per weapon team but they aren't that sturdy, while Axis have weapons that deal quite solid damage. Try, instead of stopping just infront of a mortar/ZiS, to get slightly past it and disrupt their retreat path. That way you will deal more damage to them. Maxims do the "death-loop" when retreating which results to some deaths most of the time. Apart from that, Axis units that utilize MP44 (PGrens, Sturms) are exceptional at wiping weapon teams as they deal high damage from med-range and while on the move. No matter what, most semi-decent SU players learned to retreat weapon teams in time so they avoid squad wipes. Try SU weapon teams yourself, if you are a little careless you 'll lose it no matter what. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 1v1 Strats25 Feb 2016, 11:35 AM Maxim spam might be easy and effective but its rather boring imho and goes against the Soviet faction concept, which is supposed to be "combined arms". In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: 1v1 Strats24 Feb 2016, 16:55 PM Can't say that Cons are useless but they definitely start out weak and scale not-so-good into late game. In some games I 've played recently as SU, I went 2 Maxims, 2-3 Cons with Cons being the screen/support of a Maxim. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: flanking24 Feb 2016, 13:58 PM And here comes the first "balance dilemma". Buff the HMG so that a single one is really a pain (meaning that when using 2-3 its simply OP'ed) or leave the HMG almost useless in order not to be a pain if used in quantities? Hmmm... what if we had to rethink the power of infantry? If the HMG, which should be a meat-grinder for infantry, is weak to head-on mass infantry attacks then maybe its the infantry too strong! Isn't it possible? In: Strategy Desk
Thread: A returning player... hows the state of the game?23 Feb 2016, 14:43 PM @Beefsurge Yeah, I 've seen some pretty weird stuff around, like people using maxims as main infantry unit, Volks blobbing being a super-weapon mid/late game while Cons being hard to survive from mid-game and on. Thing is, as you said, that "balance" is so fragile atm that any nerf will cast a faction too vulnerable compared to others. On the other hand, being forced to rely on stuff like X-Y-Z spam makes the game dull. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: A returning player... hows the state of the game?22 Feb 2016, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2016, 13:45 PMsostronk AFAIK most people let their conscripts die off by late game. Just die? Haven't seen anything close to that... at least not intentionally! In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Do OKW blob in 1 v 1?21 Feb 2016, 18:23 PM From what I 've witnessed this far (not at high skill lvl play) OKW players tend to play blob-like* *Ofc in 1v1 "blobing" isn't the same as in 2v2+. Most of the time they split Shreke'd-Volks from other AI units (like Sturms, Falls etc) and they run around, disregarding cover and just focusing down your units. Rarely I see the micro'ing I got to do when having a group consisting of 2-3 infantry units. In: Strategy Desk
