Thread: Why was thompson riflemen never a thing?25 Apr 2022, 04:35 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2022, 04:06 AMMMX Out of curiosity and since you seem to have tested them frequently; what's your take on the carbine-to-garand weapon swap Rangers got with the last patch? It seems to me that the long-range capabilities didn't really improve too much to be noticeable or useful, while the loss of short-range DPS might have been enough to put them at a disadvantage vs other CQC squads at mid to close range. I'd argue that this change didn't help the unit, but since I haven't had the opportunity to test Rangers much yet I'd like to hear what others think about this. Don't play the game much any more but I did play around with un-upgrade rangers when the patch came out. Don't know how good they were before the patch but in my opinion they are good against basic infantry. Once you start fighting elite infantry, your in trouble and should get Thompson's instead so overall they are not that great in terms of cost and pop if you think they are going to be good at range. I remember throwing obers against rangers and had them engage at max range vet 0 and 3, it's quite even but would cost the rangers more in reinforcement cost. That's without the lmg on the obers so I didn't bother trying with lmg obers. Edit: Best conclusion is that un-upgraded rangers are between basic and elite status like with obers, you have to upgrade at some point. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why are snipers getting nerfed?7 Sep 2021, 09:51 AM I agree with Zarok on this. I really dont like the incentive that every faction should have a sniper just so they can counter snipe the other, is that the best way of tackling the issue people have? So boring, sorry I mean what great game-play. In my opinion, I would like some sort of stock camo unit besides the sniper (even as a upgrade) that's good enough to kill a sniper. At least that would be another variable to consider when a sniper is on the field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet AT Over Watch is too strong.7 Sep 2021, 06:54 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2021, 06:14 AMMMX Good stuff +1, my thoughts too. The ability needs a change not a straight nerf. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA13 Aug 2021, 07:01 AM One of the few units I find that struggles with its intended purpose despite its cheap cost is the m10. I find because it needs to get in close and flank that it is very likely to be snared and can suffer main gun destroyed (considering it has 560hp and needs to get in close which is a death sentence) that is frustrating. Flanking speed is better used against infantry. I also don't understand why for a flanker all its mobility is stuck at vet 3 when it rarely makes it there. The hvap rounds lock the turret before and after activating which can be annoying. Never see the British m10, it's seems alittle too muni hungry to be on par with the usf m10. If anyone can tell me does the brit one vet up the same rate as the usf due to elite crews? On the patch itself, I think the nerf to the sturmtiger is decent, the only thing I think needs a look at is its veterency bonuses. In: Lobby
Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability2 Jul 2021, 03:05 AM I too think its intended. As MMX said the USF mortar delay fuse charge stuck to vehicles since forever. Its just a copy of the same ability with added whistling effects. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Pershing vs Tiger. Shouldn't Pershing be buffed?18 May 2021, 15:49 PM Christ this thread is still going? The pershing if anyone has ever used it is almost fine. I do agree its still needs a little something (lower price or slightly better Armour). Hvap could go down to 60secs instead of 120 secs and have a reduced fire time or ammo (even both) at vet 1. In regards to Jackson support, getting 2 jacksons are incredibly expensive alongside the pershing. Yes this would decimate a lone elefant but what support has that elefant has in that time?

Thread: Pershing vs Tiger. Shouldn't Pershing be buffed?16 May 2021, 07:09 AM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2021, 06:39 AMMMX I think the Pershing is a formidable tank, though a bit more armor or a slight buff to mobility would certainly not hurt. The Tiger vs Pershing matchup might be skewed towards the Tiger under normal circumstances, but the often neglected HVAP skill shot can make a huge difference here. It's admittedly a bit awkward to aim thanks to the 2.5 s aim time but it add 50% more damage and decent pen at all ranges to the mix - and that at a whopping 70 range! Not only is this helpful as a finishing blow if the Tiger somehow manages to limp out of regular gun range, the 240 damage also cuts down the required shots to kill it by 1 (due to the Tiger having 1040 HP). In general people seem to underestimate and underutilize the skill shot by a lot, even though it's not only useful as an AT tool but also has a huge AoE and OHK radius (1.25) paired with zero (!) scatter. That means you can use it to take out team weapons, such as AT guns, from a safe distance with often only one shot - even through most shotblockers and houses (example in the spoiler below). The trick is to position the tank more or less exactly 70 m away from the planned point of impact (easily doable using the in-game range indicator for the HVAP shot as a guide). This can also be used to great effect to take down garrisons, though depending on the HP of the building more than one shot may be required. Though it has to be said that elevation can sometimes screw this up quite badly, so results may vary. Hvap round is underappreciated, Iv used it almost every time iv used the pershing. I swear sometimes it fails to go the full range, I think thats fixed in the upcoming patch. (Edit: Ill admit didn't read your last bit, likely would be the elevation). I dont think many people know that its world piercing and deals 240 dmg with incredible range and soon will have guaranteed pen. Also because no one has stated it, the Pershing also has 75% moving accuracy over the tiger/is2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of Heavies, take two9 May 2021, 14:50 PM I'll give my imput as well after using the pershing, is2 and Tiger. The conclusion I have with them is that in game they are mostly one trick ponies. What I mean by that they really shine with vet and loosing one especially with vet, you cannot afford to waist time and resources into investing into another one. That's the only problem I have.

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - USF Feedback28 Apr 2021, 04:41 AM Im unsure about the Ez8 vet 1 change. It feels like changing the E8 into a significantly discounted firefly, I dont think people buy the e8 for that reason and it may not be a effective enough change. Considering its free, I understand a buff to it may be too strong but imo it dosnt feel right. This is how I feel after a in-game comparison, not looking at stats. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback21 Apr 2021, 08:32 AM Well at lease g43s are still a buff to storm-troopers as they have gren kar98s I am surprized through, they probably gave a lot of people the impression they were really good. In: COH2 Balance
