Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)11 Apr 2022, 08:25 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2022, 08:11 AMMr Carmine if you cant go around or flank they set the terms. So i have to disagree here You have the right to disagree, but they some can be said for USF they can also play defensively/passively if they want, so there is something wrong with that theory. As I have ready pointed out the more flexible someone is the easier it is to "dictate the fight". Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2022, 08:11 AMMr Carmine please read for once. Did i say only because of self heal? Or did i mention other factors? Nope I am not following down that path which will derail this thread...the ambulance was brought by OP so I will stick to that.

Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)10 Apr 2022, 18:44 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 18:21 PMMr Carmine the larger the maps are the bigger the problem as they are laney and open, sandbags plus long range mainlines dont agree, as its quite easy to hunker down and bleed inf on appraoch from behind cover when there is limited to no flanking available. Even then mg's or sturms can cover that. In bigger modes going around is not a real option. Playing passively is a defensive position does not describe "dictating the fight" on the contrary.

Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)10 Apr 2022, 14:28 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 14:07 PMSupport Sapper While relload and scatter of these two are similar. OST mortar do have better aoe distance of 1/2/3 compare to 0.75/1.5/3 of usf mortar on both auto attack and barrage. OSt mortar also have 5 more range on both AT and barrage. All for only 10mp more. Now before you drag me in a whole series of post to debate meaning of the word "significantly". I didn't make any claim and simply provide the stats. Thanks for providing the stats. Do you agree with the claim: "USF mortar is by far the weakest and usually just behaves as a pop eater," ? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)10 Apr 2022, 12:50 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 12:41 PMMr Carmine rilfes are not the best at long range, their best preformance is close to mid range. They dont have sandbags stock. They either need to close in or avoid the engagement. They have a harder time defending a position because of these. And before you start i am not saying rifle are up. The maps are to open for them to shine. They do not have a harder time to defend positions because Ostheer are bad at attacking. Try attacking with grenadiers from out of cover vs riflemen in cover and see what happens. But that is besides the point riflemen are much more flexible when it comes to fighting having decent DPS at all ranges and thus it is not "the enemy dictates the fight in by far most cases" Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 12:41 PMMr Carmine releying on a mortar to bleed is quite a bit unreliable. As usf you get rifles (midrange)rear echelons and a mortar and ambu at t0. Other factions get mg's scout cars/transport, at gun, long range and cqc inf or sprint. So using doctrines as usf and pathfinders in paticular to fill gaps so early on makes sense imo. Neither paths or scott imo are op. USF mortar is in line with other mortars and it will bleed the enemy unless he can fire back. Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 12:41 PMMr Carmine Ambu comes early but not so early, its also the most vunerable imo esp if used as forward healing. Also if what your implying is true about mortar and ambu why is usf usualy more mp starved then most faction when not using paths? They cant seem to float mp such as okw for example. Destroying a ambulance in a 3vs3 or 4vs4 in the early game is not easy at all. OKW float mp only when/if they are starving for fuel (and even then mostly because they can not build cashes like other factions). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buffing WC51's Self Repair.10 Apr 2022, 12:32 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 12:02 PMGoforGiantsV3 You meaning change Basic Cargo + MG upgrade to Basic MG + Upgrade Cargo? Yes Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 12:02 PMGoforGiantsV3 What a hot IDEA from you. I've never expected that you give a good idea to USF. That is probably because you read too many post from forum warriors who find it easier to do personal attacks than to back up their point of view with arguments. Improving the design of units regardless of faction is actually good for the game and all of us, as players. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)10 Apr 2022, 10:10 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 09:14 AMProtos Angelus ... Most 2v2+ maps are fought cover to cover at ranges 15-30, where rifles lose AND those maps are quite open, meaning you can't easily sneak around or wait. Do you have any test or stat to back the claim that vanilla VG/gren will win over riflemen guaranteed at range 15 cover to cover? Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 09:14 AMProtos Angelus ... (which is risky AF as the USF mortar is by far the weakest and usually just behaves as a pop eater, better to wait for pak howi; as much as it was nerfed, it's still better)... Once more any stats or test to back the claim that the USF mortar significantly weaker than other mortars? or are these claims imaginary like the one that KT's pintle suppress better than HMG-42 when in breakthrough mode advertised as tested?

Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)10 Apr 2022, 07:20 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 06:36 AMMr Carmine It not at least mostly not that rifles suck, its that most maps by far are way to open. Back when rifles had smoke this was not an issue. (Not saying they need it back) They always need to close in and the enemy dictates the fight in by far most cases. Why? Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2022, 06:36 AMMr Carmine Imo rifles currently bleed you way to much esp in 3s and 4s. To much to be viable long term. They have no stock early options for long range inf to counteract the bleeding. They only have mortar smoke or rear echelons smoke with nade tech. They should have gotten stock sandbags just like okw and ukf did to reduce bleeding. Imho these should notvhave gotten them on mainlines but on other units. Does mortar have HE explosive shell to bleed the enemy? Does the USF have access to early ambulance to greatly reduce bleed? In: COH2 Balance

Great work as always May I suggest that in time ranges you add an option for specific patches. Can you add stats about doctrinal ability usages or build? it can provide helpful info. In: Lobby
Thread: The main problem with balance8 Apr 2022, 14:09 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2022, 14:04 PMMMX A bit off-topic, but I've always wondered if the game would benefit from slower repair and healing rates in general. Dealing health damage - both to tanks and infantry alike - isn't all that valuable in most cases since it can be restored rather quickly. This is of course especially true for infantry, for which HP damage is only really relevant in the very early stages of the game, but also for some tanks as you stated. Things like the Churchill and KV-1 being slower or faster to repair than other tanks is quite a clever and IMHO underused balance approach that could be applied to other units as well. I agree and that was what I pointed out when they buffed heal rates. In: COH2 Balance
