Thread: Why all the hate for riflemen?9 Jul 2019, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2019, 08:51 AMHannibal But does it really come down to Rilfe vs Volks in your opinion? Sure, Riflemen are more expensive both to buy and reinforce, but they're also a good tad stronger. Also you'll loose about 20 models in the early game, which would cost you 60 manpower more. That's not that much and by far not enough to cost you the game. The issue more of stems from the STG upgrade and Flame nades being easily accessible with teching. Whereas Rifles need to side tech in order to get weapon upgrades and nades. Although Volks and Rifles are pretty even when the Rifles have 1 BAR and the Volks have STG's, the Volks have sandbags and nades that can deny cover are hard to deal with. Riflemen start to slap Volks though once they get 2x BAR's. That is why most people go for Assault Engineers or Pathfinders against OKW these days because they are more efficient overall.

Thread: Why all the hate for riflemen?9 Jul 2019, 04:25 AM Problem with Riflemen is that they struggle against Volks in the early game due to their slightly higher reinforce cost, they are just about even with a single BAR vs the STG upgrade but then they become extremely powerful once they get a 2nd BAR and hit Vet 2-3. I would like BAR's to get nerfed a bit but then become cheaper so getting 2 of them doesn't cost as much but wouldn't have as good of performance. Right now it takes 20+ minutes to be able to Double BAR up your 3-4 squads. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer Mobile Defense Puma rework2 Jul 2019, 22:15 PM Honestly I would probably just remove the Battlephase 2 requirement and let Ostheer have a Puma within Tier 2, maybe increase it's cost a bit to compensate I feel like 80 would be fine. I think the old call-in Ostheer Puma was that cost. Right now it takes OKW about 130 fuel to obtain a Puma, with these changes the Ostheer Puma would require about 140-150 fuel which I think would be reasonable. If the doctrine becomes too powerful finally tying the Command Tank call-in to Tier 3 I think would be a good nerf just to prevent people from Puma spamming into Command Tank call-in. I feel Ostheer is the faction that could really use the Puma as I feel they struggle harder against light vehicles than OKW does. Usually OKW can at least get a Panzer II to tank damage for the Rak's whereas the Ostheer light vehicles aren't able to efficiently defend the Pak unless you build multiple of them which delays Tier 3.

Thread: Fusilers28 Jun 2019, 19:15 PM I think we will see the power of the Fusiliers this weekend since Spec Ops and Overwatch/Scavenge are likely to be banned heavily in the tournament. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New USF doctrine is too good27 Jun 2019, 21:04 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2019, 08:39 AMblvckdream - WP Sherman hard countering AT-guns. Not sure why WP Sherman + bulldozer is one slot ability. It´s silly. 110 Fuel Shermans with high HP armor and built in hard counter to AT-guns? Who thought this was a good idea? - Rifle Grenade is a horrible design. Makes enemy micro like crazy just to still lose all the engagements because units who need to mover can´t fight properly. Unlike a flamer the RE shoots the grenade from a safe distance over shot blockers etc. It´s basically like a mortar but 10x better. I think it´s both too good and badly designed. On maps with lots of garrisons it´s even worse because you can put the RE into the house and they still shoot the damn grenades. Why is that? - Molotovs for Riflemen are good increasing USF potency in infantry engagements even more without any drawback. It´s USF and UKF design that you need to tech grenades. Now you don't and it makes the Volks/Grens vs Riflemen dynamic even more unbalanced. - Sprint + Rangers with elite zooks = Terrible idea. PzGrens with Shrecks are ok because of 4 men but on a durable 5 men Rangers squad this is just another silly idea. The power creep with this doctrine is once again just too much. How many more buffs does USF get??? I would say either make it so getting the bulldozer upgrade locks out the WP rounds or getting the bulldozer locks out HE shells so it doesn't have so much utility because right now the Sherman is probably the best overall medium tank in the game with the bulldozer upgrade, outside of a heavily vetted OKW P4 which is still amazing. I feel like the Rifle nades are nice but have the downside of not being able to get sweepers and delaying a weapon upgrade for the infantry since it's 60 munitions, maybe the range could be slightly reduced but otherwise I think they are ok. Molotov's just need to be tied to the Grenade package so you have access to one nade that denies cover for a period of time and one grenade that is meant to be lethal. I would say the Rangers should probably just be limited to two weapon slots or maybe even just 1 although I am not sure how many slots the Thompson upgrade takes up. They should probably only be able to carry 1-2 elite bazookas at once instead of being able to have three and nuke tanks pretty hard. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer T2 Skip24 Jun 2019, 19:45 PM I would say just make the Ostwind about the same cost as the Centaur and it will probably be fine. I don't think Brits really have a massive problem dealing with the Ostwind, it's more of USF and Soviets to some extent. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Any suggestions for a panzerfusilier opening?24 Jun 2019, 19:44 PM At the moment I like to use them in tandem with Volks, Volks don't scale as well put have cheaper upgrades and are more cost-effective in the early-game. Fusiliers take some vet and upgrades to begin scaling well and have overall better combat vet in the mid to late game. Right now I opt for two Volks first to capture the map and follow up with Fusiliers to help deal with the UC, WC51, or M3. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Move Conscripts 7th man from t4 to t3?19 Jun 2019, 22:38 PM I would say this is fine only if Grens would be allowed to gain the 5-Man upgrade at Tier 3. This could be the German Infantry version in which they get an extra man and a G43. If you want the upgrade earlier than go for the German Infantry commander that would allow you to get 5-man squads at only 2 CP, much earlier than Tier 3 would normally be up unless you are skipping multiple tech structures.

Thread: OKW - Replace Sturmtiger in elite armor doctrine6 Jun 2019, 21:23 PM I would like to see the Command Panther replace it within the commander and then tie it to tech. So we don't have to see Spec Ops every game. In: COH2 Gameplay
