Thread: USF commanders18 Jan 2016, 06:30 AM I replied in that reddit thread, though that was back end of November. Now it's pretty clearly: 1. Tactical Support Company Then all others, w/ Heavy Cav, Armor, and IMO still Rifle Company hanging around up top. Heavy Cav probably the undisputed number 2. I usually take Calliope, Heavy Cav, and Rifle/Armor in 1v1. Tactical Support is your go-to. Calliope is very strong right now (might get nerfed eventually) but it's the last piece of the puzzle USF needs... long range indirect. It's devastating and allows you to get critical squad wipes late in the game. It's particularly strong against OKW if you sneak your Calliope out and use its first barrage on their forward retreat point w/ some wounded squads there. Heavy Cav is good if you're in relatively even game and you want to start digging in. So Rifle Field Defenses (sandbags, mines, etc.). Then you stall w/ 57 mm ATGs and maybe Bazookas until the Pershing comes out. If it's an even game, Combined Arms can make the difference in a critical late-game engagement. Armor is good in an emergency if you gardened up somehow and need to get your M10s in to knock out an OKW Ostwind or OST Panzer IV or something. Engineers w/ mines and flamers are pretty strong too. Rifle Company is mainly good for Easy 8. If you're rolling along and in complete control and want to keep the pressure up, just tech straight through to Major and start accumulating Easy 8s. No need to wait until 10 or 13 CPs for your best unit. In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: [USF] Live And Learn +%10 faster vet bulletins stack18 Jan 2016, 05:34 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jan 2016, 18:00 PMCuddletronic Issues like this are currently being looked at, I don't have an ETA on fix. Thanks Then the Panzer IV and Panther armor stacking bulletins better be fixed too. It's funny how there's so many "game breaking" things about Allies even though 1v1 balance is apparently the best it's ever been. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: new AEC is overpowered17 Jan 2016, 22:04 PM I think it just needs to cost a little more fuel, as others have been saying. It's arguably better than the Stuart and T-70, yet it comes before both. 180 + 30 to Tier 1 100 + 15 to unlock AEC 340 + 50 to build AEC So it's 95 fuel if you go straight through, versus 130 for Stuart (60 for Captain + 70 to build Stuart). It should be something like: 180 + 30 to Tier 1 100 + 25 to unlock AEC 320 + 60 to build AEC. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Redesigning USF Crews.15 Jan 2016, 01:53 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2016, 00:04 AMVipper If it too much hassle one can simply replace crew disembark with the version already existing abilities of OKW on Ostheer of self-repair... Crew repair isn't going anywhere nor should it. USF can jump out and repair crit because its armor is (relative to OKW, OST, UKF, and to a lesser extent, Soviet) pure paper. Its most survivable tank -- the Pershing -- has less armor and the same health as a Panther. And that one can't be decrewed. Do we really want or need everything from every faction to be the same? To have the exact same strengths and weaknesses? Why even have Americans and Soviets and Germans and Brits when we can just have mirror matches? It's frustrating to see threads like this and comments like: Pak and Shreck are irrelevant when comparing the Tanks them selves. No, they're not. At all. USF armor and AT options are outclassed in all respects by Axis counterparts. Far easier to kill, often w/ less micro required (e.g., drive Panther straight at any US armor and win, drive any US armor straight at Panther and lose). Taking AT, the health, armor, mobility, and costs of the tanks into the equation, it stands to reason that USF has an ability that allows its armor to survive and get back into the action fairly quickly. Sheesh you think USF late game is poor now and you want to remove crew repair, lol. Better buff USF early game even more because the faction will have no chance past the 15-20 minute mark w/o survivability buffs to all of its armor, up to and including the Pershing.

Thread: OKW AA Truck12 Jan 2016, 06:23 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2016, 02:06 AMRappy And what, in your equations, do you evaluate is the cost for the risk involved in it being destroyed? ie. ending medium armor production for at least five minutes. Schwerer exists because OKW was supposed to have a small, expensive army that could be overrun by hordes of SU and USF soldiers like Cheesetruppen overwhelm the Brits. Schwerer gave them flexibility and allowed them to maintain map control and their precious 66% income. Obviously this is no longer the case since OKW typically has as much if not more infantry than Allies these days AND they have the Kubel that can scoot around the map and cap. You are right though that losing it can very well mean GG for the OKW player. So the obvious solution is to give the OKW player a choice: the Schwerer HQ when first constructed has no super cannon on top. If OKW builds it somewhere it's exposed, then they can pay an additional MP and fuel cost to unlock the gun. The price should be comparable to the Bofors. Option 2 is to build the truck somewhere safe, like in base sector, and spend the resources on quicker armor instead. I really think this is a fair compromise. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW AA Truck12 Jan 2016, 01:44 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2016, 10:27 AMDomine That is correct. The cost of setting it up is immense, and you are seriously overblowing it's effectiveness on the field. It does not have brace, it does not outrange AT guns, and Sturmpios have the lowest repair speed out of all repair units. It does not require the combined arms approach of a Bofors, nor is it as cheap, nor does it wipe infantry in under a second. Get one tank destroyer, one AT gun or one indirect fire unit and start firing at it. Lmao this is so gardening ridiculous. On the one hand, you insist "l2p" re: killing the truck, then you suggest using "one AT gun" as a reliable way to kite the thing as if any OKW player who has been playing the game for more than 30 seconds will lose his Schwerer to a single ATG attacking ground. The Schwerer is simply too potent an emplacement in its current state for what it costs the OKW player. There is nothing unreasonable about suggesting that it is overperforming for its cost, same as any other unit in the game. It suppresses, snipes, and kills infantry at long range, it annihilates light vehicles and armor, it reliably penetrates all medium armor except the Easy 8, T-34/85, and maybe Cromwell, and it shoots down planes consistently. It is by far the most versatile and effective emplacement in the game, and it is constructed every game and costs nothing beyond OKW's normal tech costs. Whether you consider it free or "part of the price" of OKW's teching, it overperforms for what the OKW player pays for it, relative to what other factions get for teching to a comparable level.
