Volks are extremely powerful right now. Losing them late game is punishment. Squad survival is rewarded. How is a Soviet player supposed to get cons to vet 3 when they get wiped after the 10 minute mark? Meanwhile they feed out vet. I have not found volks vetting too slowly at all. If you miss healing you are free to drop med kits, remember many OKW units (including volks) get healing with vet so you only need to do this for a short period of the game.
Obers are expensive, you need at most 1 squad. In some games you may not even need them. They exist for a specific reason, dealing with elite infantry behind a cheaper infantry unit. Their vet prevents their price from decreasing. Some of their vet levels are insanely good and they have a huge range of abilities. They truly reward excellent play.
Sturms probably have too much on their plate, but the fear of light vehicles eating up OKW without the shrek is at least reasonable to me. Until such time as another solution is found they will need to hold the shrek. Having said that, they can easily reach vet 5 now, and at this point they can function as almost instant repair stations for any tank.
MG34 is fine, plays well, and fills its role. It is a cheap, static, MG capable of controlling blobs and letting volks chew threw them with upgrades.
Maybe Zyllen will listen now to an actual seasoned strategist.

How are the mortars now? |
Tried Obers today, they are perfect vs cons and other mushy infantry.
Expensive yes. But i feel the price is justified.
To the above poster, it's too soon to tell, people are still adapting and thinking of ways to work with new OKW. Please for the sake of COH2 don't jump into conclusions until we have have a month of patch.
I like the changes to OKW. It's actually fun to play for once. Not just one-tool-for-all-occasions thing of old. |
STGs =/= mp44s for godsake. One is an assault rifle, the other is a shitty smg. Get em right ffs.
You are incorrect, MP43, MP44 or STG44 are all correct ways of addressing the same gun. During the war the designation of the weapon changed until it finally was designated as Stg44. |
Obers current role is kinda conflicted, specially the Mp44 armed variant.
But who knows, for flank guard missions they might just be what you need to face off that single harassing unit that is trying to decap while people focus on the main brawl. Or use them has flank harassers.
I haven't been able to put them to good use yet, but then again most games i tried to play with OKW so far was against seal clubbing teams exploiting the new broken mortar and cheese. |
BHAHAHHAHAAAHAHAHAA
your a fun dude mate. or you dont know math.
It has been proven that it is a straight up upgrade to kar98s, it improves their DPS in all ranges bar the most extreme long range.
You just talk out of your ass because you can't adapt to the new meta and blame it on the game.
Keep on behaving like a spoiled child on this thread. It will surely enhance the quality of the responses. |
how to beat as OKW since i dont get a mortar and this USF one is powered by mac sauce and fires as fast as kids can glitch their shermans with combined arms so i cant even use cover without having to dodge and get shot to pieces by riflemen
Wait for patch of the patch. The mortar is broken. If it doesn't address it, then pose the question then. |
Drop system is much better. |
Didn't notice anything obscenely wrong with Ostheer. However did notice that Soviets still have some units that seem overbuffed.UKF feels ok.
USF mortar at tier 0 structure is...debatable. It's basically a perfect mirror counter to Ostheer opening with HMG42 and i don't like that one bit, whether it's over performing or not.

VG's need a buff . their weapon upgrade is extremely lackluster and their vet is generally poor. the mp44 upgrade should at least mirror the dps output of the pg's and vet 3 should be increased from 10% to 23%
No they should not. the mp44 upgrade on volks makes it one of the better base infantry choices currently in game.
Volks are fine now. They have an AT snare, an anti garrison grenade and can build cover, this a great deal for such a cheap unit. |
