imagine walking through random mg42, mortar, arty fire in a thick fog.
Charging across a flat surface when they can accurately target you is probably worse. |
I know people hate getting gibbed from long range.
I see nobody complaining about OST scopes, SU-85, Searchlight or T-76.
ISU-152 should be a beast. |
Build mortars, use rifle grenades, flank, rush out flame halftrack, sniper, etc. |
It's you that crying for defending Allies.
Plenty of people explained above why kubel doesn't replace ordinary MG's position.
Seriously, can you say that USF and Soviet do not need MG because they have light vehicle suppression platform?
USF even have pack howie, yet they have 50cal.
If you talk about flame nade and rifle nade, it's same on Axis MG teams.
Try to check conditions on each factions before you say other people crying.
You have forward bases, ISG and a shit ton of flak.
How can you complain about not having suppression? SU hardly has any AT infantry but no complaints from them. |
Don't spread propaganda.The units gren or pzgren are NOT 'amazing' in any sense,they are thoroughly mediocre and dominated by allied infantry with poor durability.And they don't have excellent nades either.Rifle nade is now useless vs capable player and bundle is shit.
If u don't give them 5 men then they need big buffs to recieved accuracy or allied infantry need nerfs.
I see more calls for buffs than calls for Brit/USF nerfs.

So OKW is underpowered against all three allied factions you say? I could see an argument for USF because Riflemen are overperforming, but UKF and Sov too?
OKW does fine against SU since they basically have the same stuff and more. |
Glad to see this idea is getting traction. 4 model squads have no place in modern CoH2 design.
Yes they do. These units are amazing once given either rifles or Lmgs. They start with AT and excellent nades.
Making them 5 man would have to involve changing what I mentioned above.

There is a simple solution to make Axis win more, Remember Opel Blitz from 2013?, it almost doubled the resource income in that sector it locked down and shared that resource bonus with all teammates, imagine if we change Opel back to how it was, it will give OKW the fuel and munition it needs (in Teamgames), and same for Ostheer (in all game modes)
OKW is amazing when properly supplied. Making it easy for them to get well supplied and rich in fuel would be Op. |
1. The kubel rarely lasts past 5 minutes; mid to lategame, it gets basically 1 shotted. Even if it does, it's generally not worth the huge amount of micro it takes to keep it useful.
Still devastating in early game if used properly.
3. None of those of options have the combination of being mobile, scalable, and the AOE of an actual mg unit.
You want an excellent Hmg and forward bases?
I don't care about balance, when the first thing I address is the fact that OKW is underperforming.
Ok

Because it costs 15 fuel more yet hardly does better than a Sherman.
The Sherman is for anti-infantry. Its anti-tank roll is supposed to be very limited. |
