Thread: Increase target size of abandoned team weapon.21 Aug 2021, 13:58 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2021, 13:41 PMProtos Angelus Let's be honest, raketen is only ever in danger of a wipe in craters where they clump up (same as every other unit). It's still one of the most survivable AT guns in the game, not to mention it can be played very aggressively. I've seldom seen raketen wipes by infantry, only direct hits by any non AP tanks when pointing the gun at them. I don't know where this myth that raketen is ez to wipe comes from I fixed it for you. That and it has an awful tendency to hit the slightest elevation and thus a med tank can get closer without fearing about snares. It has to be played aggressively because it has a shorter range lol. Grenades and light artillery do full damage instead of half due to the heavy cover of the gun shield iirc. But that's not a real issue by itself. Someone even looks at you with small arms however.... If by survivable, you mean press T when you need it to shoot then yes. You wouldn't do a shootout with a regular AT gun with a med because you'll just die 90%+ of the time. But I see it all the time with raks. In: COH2 Balance

Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2021, 09:54 AMGrim Then why is raketen spam in every damn game these days. And yet somehow a regular PaK gun would still be better in overall effectiveness. Rak spam is a low skill bracket meme ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are rangers overpriced?20 Aug 2021, 23:10 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2021, 22:51 PMSkysTheLimit Yeah I think that's OPs point though. Their 3rd weapon slot is useless for anything other than zooks. Which imo is also overrated. The 3rd weapon slot just isn't that great of bonus, because of the dropping Thompsons are 90 muni on Rangers and Paras. The tommy upgrade is fine I think their popcost is too high atm, but idk if I would change anything else Righto. Yeah it's prob too high. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are rangers overpriced?20 Aug 2021, 22:07 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2021, 13:28 PMProtos Angelus No problem. And I never said "easily beat obers". I expect them to lose vs obers generally. But they do not just lose most engagements. They get shat upon by infrared's and you need to charge MG34. You will lose models but Obers will lose (if they don't use nades). Problem with charging is, Obers won't be alone, and a decent OKW player will always focus down the charging infantry, leaving the BAR rifles that supported the rangers, easy pickings for the obers + volks. BARs ofc being only good close to medium range, static. I thought that was the general expectation of the testing but alright, I take it back. Well, as you've seen, you just need to run up to LMG Obers with Thompson Rangers to beat them. IR StG 44 is a strictly doctrinal weapon and means you get shredded by M1919A6s iirc, also a doctrinal weapon. Diving them is one of the worst things you could do vs them. Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2021, 21:07 PMSkysTheLimit I didn't see anyone saying they should easily beat Obers... And 3x bar rangers is a significantly larger investment and risk than either Ober upgrade. Obers will only drop the mg34 if they get wiped and the StGs can't get dropped at all. For 180 muni it seems like they should do a little better Not a fan of either triple upgrade on rangers because of the droprate. I don't even get 1 bar with the thompsons for the same reason People getting triple BAR Rangers imho is highly unlikely, esp when Thompson is a superior upgrade overall and cannot be dropped. Realistically it's 80 vs 100 muni iirc for LMG34 to Thompsons? I see those guys coming and they get treated like shocktroops. They don't really need a BAR because you'll lose someone on approach typically, then it's 4 Thompsons vs whatever's unlucky enough to be that close. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase target size of abandoned team weapon.20 Aug 2021, 17:10 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2021, 14:04 PMcaffeine this should be seen as a nerf to allies generally they are much more dependent on team weapons and combined arms to counter stronger units as well as more susceptible to wipes thanks to stuka, brumbar, sturmtiger, etc laughs in Raketen, easiest to wipe AT gun in the game In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pfuss vs AssEngi20 Aug 2021, 13:16 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2021, 11:04 AMAlphrum - Veterancy 2 Received Accuracy bonus from -23% to -29%. damn super gigantic buffs, sturms will now be like main line infantry for OKW for sure. Srsly people comparing a bloody enginner unit to an alternate main line infantry unit with commpletely different roles. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit's Comet20 Aug 2021, 12:56 PM Well you're not wrong overall. Rak just has a hard time, but can still pen with a 62% chance at far. The proper OKW counter to Comet is not Rak however, it's JP4/Panther and if necessary HEAT. Comet players do not like the Command Panther at all, either. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Are rangers overpriced?20 Aug 2021, 12:46 PM You point them at the enemy, move them close and use their ober-level 0.73 RA and shoot. Unit is very simple and can be extremely difficult to get rid of. You should not expect them to easily beat infantry that come later than them and have a gift basket for you. A test vs Pzgrens would be more appropriate imho and rangers beat those guys hands down easily with weapon upgrades. Thanks for the data though, cleared up some misgivings I had regarding the matchup. Will definitely improve my late game play in OKW vs USF, been seeing rangers a lot more. In: COH2 Balance
