Thread: Upgunning the soviets - the IS-2 7 Apr 2022, 11:19 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2022, 05:15 AMCrecer13 The IS-2 must be made an analogue of the King Tiger and not the Tiger, in order to somehow justify it in such a number of commanders. So nondoc range 60, 260 pen Axis TDs when? It's a struggle as is with JP4s to beat IS-2, featuring a racket of bounces. Even had a pair of JP4s defeated by one IS-2. Also 720 MP, 270 FU price tag for IS-2 with all tech tiers (yes even that dastardly skipped T1/2). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW Mech repair speed29 Mar 2022, 18:46 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2022, 17:39 PMLatch If you only get one engineer squad that's on you, take UKF sappers as a comparison, they are a flamer/piat squad, barbed wire, salvage, building emplacements, tearing down emplacements, building caches, snaring, blowing up cover, planting mines, defusing mines, repairing. How is that any less than what the OKW pios do? Early game they turn engagements, they can put away their sweeper giving them back 1/4 fire power. What exactly do they do more of than any other engineer squad? There are reasons why no good OKW player gets more than one SP. Whether it be bleeding to death at far range (30MP reinforce for 0.87 size CQC models), four man squad having to go close range & losing a greater proportion of its firepower per model drop, or being generally poor against people in garrisons/behind heavy cover. Then midgame arrives and 2 SPs will usually lose to 2 LMG equipped squads, esp if they have a BAR each. And so on. They do most of what listed above and then a great deal more. Volks are frankly so abysmal that that a SP must fulfil the role of a mainline inf squad in every way. Flanking, stopping frontal assaults, dislodging dug in inf with grenade throws, zoning out CQC squads, taking early territory (GL with your volks and late MG otherwise), etc. I liken the job of a SP squad to be a 'firefighter' where they are needed to put out fires in several places at the same time. In any case, this stuff has been discussed to death by players far more experienced than myself. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Mech repair speed29 Mar 2022, 12:33 PM At the end of the day, the OKW mech repair speed is greatly related to the fact that you have only one engineer squad who has to do 20+ jobs. As overpowered as it is, as fast as its repairs are, as incredible as it is at mowing down Ivan/Nigel/Yanks, it is still only one squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AVRE OP?19 Mar 2022, 11:36 AM Yes it was made OP by the buffs it received. Additionally the projectile tends to overshoot, making it more likely to land in the middle of your soft retreating men/weapon teams. I'd agree with ppl that one-shot squad-wipe machines are bad design in general. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Stuart is sh*t compared to T7017 Mar 2022, 11:43 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2022, 07:12 AMJilet I still don't understand why nobody goes Fuersturm on OKW to get both. We do though. The problem is that mech builds take longer to get than BG, esp if fuel is contested and you're going to have a bad time without an MG. Smoking MP40 volks can be nasty in ultra urban but they are no replacement for a dedicated smoke/light arty piece. The Opel Blitz/Mech combo is very viable on very large maps, but these are usually maps which already favour Axis and/or have high/secure fuel income. Like Steppes and General Axis. But enough off-topic for me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pershing is a huge meme.16 Mar 2022, 11:19 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2022, 21:06 PMEsxile You'll have to explain us what are the strong advantages you are referring to. What, you need me to go through USF basics? Path 'builds' Smoke (most smokes of any faction) and BAR blobs. Captain with 'On Me' to insta-break suppression Riflemen who scale extremely well with vet (Vet III has 0.63 model size) but cannot be replaced Extremely aggressive tactics and faction design Best non-doc light arty (pack howitzer) in range and firepower T0 mortar, even if some ppl view it as a glorified smoke machine .50 cal as a HMG etc. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Pershing is a huge meme.14 Mar 2022, 19:50 PM USA having a heavy tank always was going to be in the dodgy territory. A faction with strong advantages in early game and midgame, then getting a very good heavy tank would be absolutely meta. And extremely hard to deal with. It's still a Cheezeburger eating Comet for better or worse. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: At the end the modding team didn’t balance the game.12 Mar 2022, 11:19 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2022, 11:07 AMSkysTheLimit Some of those things used to way more OP thanks to Relic. I mean you really gonna mention the B4? How quickly people forget that the B4 entered coh2 with the "precision shot" ability. You could call in a single b4 shot with perfect accuracy. Was basically a cheaper stuka bomb with even less warning Sturmtiger used to be a stock unit. Soviet windustry could give you like 9 minute t34s. Tiger ace used to cost 0 fuel. Relic had plenty of incompetence on their own What, you mean the 'glory' days of ML-20s in HQs leveling your own HQ in 1v1/2v2? Impossible to see boobytraps so you stop counting squad losses? Tsunami of iron men with schrecks? Unkillable emplacements with 0s(?) CD brace? Sniper clown car? Combined Arms bug? I don't get why people miss this era for the balancing. In: Lobby
