They should give okw some smoke to counter some of the OP maxi spam but k...kk.
Smoke for OKW? Then give some PTRS for USSR to counter OP 222 spam and early luchses/pumas.
Actually, smoke is not best way of dealing with MGs. Mortars/Field guns are better. And LeIGs are doing well, for me. I think it would be good idea to give to LeIGs smoke rounds, like mortars have, if OKW have such serious problems with MGs...

They should add mg34/mg42 as a stock unit. Rest is fine.
Then add to USF mortar truck as stock unit, please. And Calliope too. And maybe Pershing, cos KT is undoctrinal, last time I saw.
Seriosuly, no stock MGs for OKW. They have in T0 more, than any other factions! Close combat infantry/top-engineers, meat-longrange folks volks with top AT, scoutcar, AT-gun... Now let's give them MG in that - they will be unstopable!
And I think, that OKW should already get real artilley - SP Howitzer "Hummel". Place it in Feuersturm doctrine, instead of poor useless FlamenHetzer. And no - Hummel won't shoot flamecharges of course, but artillery in doctrine with name "Feuersturm" is OK for me. Im really tired of using boring Wuhrframmens for to dig out Tommy rats.
And for god sake, do something with Sturmenginners. They are combining itself both best engineers(repairs) in game and close-to-best close-middle combat units. Maybe, there should be upgrade, which will give you choose between "good repair - bad combat conditions" and "good combat - bad/no repair"?

One of the best armys with worst core infantry, worst stock middle tank, worst infantry AT (PTRS) and without weapons for core-infantry at all (only with doctrines again), which is also doctrinal and with all usefull units ONLY in doctrines.
USSR also has no fortifications at all, their heavy tanks are best of allies, but way worse than Axis's heavy...
USSR have one real thing, which cripples it hard - doctrines addiction. All other factions can play even without doctrines, cos their stock units (mostly) are fine, specially OKW. USSR has worst stock units in their types - only Katyusha is good rocket artillery and maybe SU-76 is cheap and effective tank-puncher without HP and armor. All other units are trashy-trash, which worse then their analogs in allie's armies, and, that is worst - axis's armies.
USSR needs serious revision of it's game mechanic. "Faction of cheap+ineffective troops with more or less good units, but only in doctrines" - bad idea at all. It could work in vCoH with USF, which had pretty same scheme, but there were only 3 doctrines and each was super-cool. For USSR we have only few (maybe same 3) working doctrines, but even they are not enough powerfull to drag USSR out of swamp with cheap-bad stock units.

This thread is fail. Soviets are one of the best armys they are capable of heaping the pressure on early and keeping it on for quite a while if you play right.
But then they have heavy late game tanks, the best available to allies.
120mm is some of the best indirect fire in the game (comes early too).

Lol, just lol.
Maxim spam is OP, but MG-42 spam is ok.
Good news for you, OP - MG-42 spam is real today too, a lot of Ost players calling 2-3 MG-42s and nobody cares. And it is even more OP, than Maxim spam.
2-3 maxims cover same area as 1 MG-42. So, 3 MG-42 covers same area as 9 (!) maxims.
See reason, why we spam maxims? They can do their MG-job good only in massive numbers, while MG-42 doing same job nice alone. And again - idea of offensive MGs is stupidity, make doctrinal offesives ok, no problems, but in stock I need normal MG. |

USSR in CoH 2 suppoused to be like USF in vCoH. And if USF in vCoH were great, than USSR here is pretty poor, because they refused of a lot of good ideas.
Relic, "steal" from yourself those ideas (like not-cheap upgrade for core infantry - 2 LMGs to everyone, or gun-upgrade for core tank or... a lot of good things were there), please! You have a lot of good balancing ideas already, you just need to see and use them. |

Don't know what you feel, but Im really tired of insta-shooting schrecks, zooks and PIAT's. It's really wierd - I move my tank, it meets volksblob with schrecks, they immideatly shooting - 1/2 of my tank is gone. Same goes for rifleblobs with M9s. Rarely for PIAT's, because they are not so troublemaking with their poor accuracy.
Why is it problem? PTRS. Again PTRS. I don't understand, why all top-AT launchers have no aiming time before they shoot, when loosy AT PTRS have 1.5-2 sec for aim before shooting.
PTRS is really "whipping boy" AT. It's only doctrinal, with poor damage, with time for aim... But, we will talk about PTRS later.
I suggest to add to all AT launchers 1-2 seconds time for aim before shooting for to stop that insta-tank-killing horror. It is really terrible to lose you M4A3 to 3 pzgrens (6 schrecks), which killing it faster, than you will understand, that there are 3 pzgrens - thanks for insta-shooting. |

I said before somewhere - just throw out from game base artillery and Sextons, cos they both are useless, no matter what you will do with them.
Remake Royal Artillery doctrine, place there and only there OF 25 pounder emplacements with 1-2 passive abilities to that, instead of "Sexton" and "Coordinate barrage".
Let UK have good artillery, but as for everyone - only doctrinal. |
i think they will nerf the set up time and the take aim not the supression or the damage
Yea, it really makes me feel easier. Nerf set up time without buffing arc of fire? How can that be?! Game goes crazy... |
guys stop flame and insult we are civil people not fanboys or arsonist
No, I will insult Relic, because their decision to nerf Maxim insults me more! What are they thinking?! Maxim doesn't deserve nerf. And buffing penals instead won't make it better. I need effective supression platform, not effecitve infantry. |
