Thread: US BARS29 Aug 2018, 11:37 AM Yes, on the paper bar does more damage than STG. But Volk is like 10 times tankier than riflemen and cheaper to build and reinforce. It is like you are comparing glass cannon vs a tank. Rifle DPS doesn't match the tackiness of volks. Escipaclly late game, riflemen are so bad. If only riflemen are not so squishy I would say usf is not a bad faction. I destroyed ihitto AKA USF OP nerf more (Top 10 usf player)every time when I played against him as OKW. He is a very good player, but the usf faction is really bad ATM. Unless you play WC truck like twistytoosty. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade3 Aug 2018, 07:39 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Aug 2018, 05:44 AMFelixTHM Being higher ranked than me doesn't change the fact that your arguments are based on outright lies, and you repeating them multiple times doesn't make it true. The worst thing is that we're actually on the same side. We actually agree fundamentally that USF needs help or changes. The difference between you and me is that I posted actual arguments and actual solutions. You posted misinformation and nonsensical exaggerations. When people read your rubbish, they will not take the issue seriously. Even if DevM or Luvnest said something blatantly false like "T34-85 has higher penetration than Panther" to say Soviet is the best faction, I would point out that the numbers are incorrect. Being a highly ranked player doesn't give you the right to distort the truth. Even a rank 1000 player can point out blatant mistruths. I've no doubt that you have higher mechanical skill than me, since your rank is easily 50 to 100 spots higher. But you're also the guy who insisted Vet 3 Volks (0.8ra) have higher durability than Vet 3 Riflemen (0.6ra). Bro, in a perfect situation yes rifle out damage volks. You have to take other factors into consideration. Rifle takes forever to fire snare, no sandbag, more expensive to reinforce, no long range damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade2 Aug 2018, 21:57 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2018, 05:19 AMFelixTHM Esxile kept attacking me ad hominem for making these exact same points. Waiting to see that rabid dog bite you for making the same reasonable claims. You basically pointed out the exact same facts that I did: Riflemen can handle Grens early game, struggle when LMGs come online, but regain their footing late game with veterancy and upgrades. And that Riflemen struggle vs OKW early game, but when veterancy and upgrades kick in, really dominate the infantry engagements. For pointing out something that's statistically true I was subjected to slander and non-stop verbal abuse. Which Theodosis did nothing to stop except to censor my rebuttals, but yeah whatever. I mean, KoreanJesus was telling outright lies, saying that Volks are more durable than Riflemen. Volks at Vet 3 get 0.8 received accuracy and get no combat bonuses after Vet 3, vs Riflemen who have double the ra bonuses (0.6 ra at vet 3). But sure, outright lies by the OP and ad hominem attacks by Esxile get a free pass. I play both USF AND Axis, so I do agree USF needs some help. I just don't think outright lies and false information are the way to suggest improvements. Imo, giving every mainline infantry non-doctrinal sandbags or standardising sandbags on engineer units would help to mitigate the problem. Another possibility would be to reduce Riflemen cost while nerfing their veterancy bonuses. Specifically targeting OKW and making them start with a Volks instead of a Sturm might also be a viable solution. Bro, when you get top 30. Snipe me in solo queue.

Thread: USF infantry upgrade31 Jul 2018, 20:11 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2018, 08:58 AMVipper Not really, riflemen might have more casualties but not because grenadier are better. First engagement is 1 riflemen vs 1 gren +1mg + 1 gren most casualties are on retreat from mg point blank. Second encounter is riflemen vs pio point blank. Third encounter is 2 gren vs 1 riflemen that soft retreat and then attempt to charge 1 gren trough red cover while they have taken damage and are down to 4. In all initial engagements riflemen where in a disadvantage and in addition VonIvan retreats his grenadiers early to avoid casualties (minute 3:52). Most of the casualties in initial engagement are probably from pio (3) and MG (2) and not from grenadiers. Most of the damage from grenadiers comes later from rifle grenades. After that Ostheer have heal and USF do not. Just check out the overall win rate of USF in GCS. Super low, not even close to 1:3 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade30 Jul 2018, 02:23 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSpjWnDko2I Newest GCS USF game, you can see easily why riflemen are bad between two similar skill level players. More model drops on the riflemen than grens. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade28 Jul 2018, 05:58 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jul 2018, 01:52 AMShadowLinkX37 Good thing those side grades are compensated for with extra starting resources, free squads, super cost efficient scaling infantry etc. Want to see a muni strapped faction? Try ostheer. They require munis for infantry just to stay relevant. Light vehicles giving you trouble? Try an AT gun. Honestly USF is very strong when you know what you’re doing with the faction. I personally only played 150 games and am currently top100 and exceeding my OKW which I have far more games as. USF is probably tied for best late game faction currently against soviets with the HE Sherman, Jackson on AT, Scott as a solid piece of indirect and many of the strong doctrinal as well. Easy eights are fantastic in 1v1 and even 2v2 against armor, and the Pershing is as good as the former KT. This faction is only weak to snipers, MG spam on thin maps, and their awful tech fork. Get past that and you’re golden. Cant survive because the early game is super rough? Good thing VPs prevent the game from ending at 10 minutes... 2 years ago OKW was the late game faction and USF was the early game strong faction. Now we’re on the opposite side because everyone complained they couldn’t “win early game”. So how do you lose “early game” now? USF is fine when I play vs players below top 20 players, I don't think you have experienced enough frustration vs a really good OKW player. VS okw players, even you killed two squads if they manage to produce their lucs out around 6 mins, they are completely fine. Still can gain half of the map control. AT gun as you mentioned, you will never kill the lucs vs a good okw player, and you just bleed out in manpower when he pokes you at max range. Which also means, you can't play on both side of the map, you can only play the side where you have at gun. And btw, if you screw up early first grouped engagement vs Volks, then there is no way you winning the game. Volks then build sandbags at fuels and key location waiting for you to attack. They have a better chance of winning since they are long range and don't have to gap close. Still, have SP to flank. Same population caps, volks and sp has more combat potential than USF, since RM is expensive and squishy. You can't get to the late game when you can't survive the early game because of manpower bleed and if their p4 comes before your Sherman it is pretty much game over. AA half track, can easily be killed by a hold fire camo rekton. If you go t1, your light vehicle naturally at disadvantage vs OKW 's light vehicle since they have no tech needed at gun. If you go t2, RM not going to win vs Volks with STG since your don't have .50 cal support.STG always cheaper to get vs tech upgrade bar. So volks have much early power spikes vs RM. Moreover, one puma from axis completely shutdowns USF light vehicle. So unless you use some off meta-strategy like WC trucks, MG spam you don't really have an advantage vs OKW. I believe this is also the reason why USF pick rate is low in gcs. Either buff RM by give them smokes back or remove the sandbag from Volks. You don't need to remove the sandbag from tommies since their cap rate got nerfered. People complained about how OP the double LMG on RM was, with the captain's on me ability it was OP. But one single LMG on RM is super bad, you put it on a vetted RE is decent. IMO, LMG 42 is much better than USF LMG, which is also 15 muni cheaper, can be upgraded after battle phase one. LMG 42 comes earlier than 3cp USF lmg. On maps like crossroad, single LMG 42 upgrade on GD makes them 100 to 0 RM. This is the reason why RM needs the smoke to gap close and win closed up engagements. I think relic can make the same change on RM rifle smoke, reduce the range of smoke when RM is supressed, allows the machine gun to reposition. Maybe reduce the dps of USF lmg, and make it 2x for the riflemen. RM is currently not the backbone of the USF force. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade25 Jul 2018, 23:16 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2018, 19:30 PMFelixTHM Completely wrong. Of course, since you don't play the Axis factions at all, I wouldn't expect reasonable comments even remotely grounded in reality. Riflemen have way better RA bonuses than any other mainline infantry. Iirc, it's 0.6 at Vet 3. Volks are nowhere close to Rifles in either offense or defense in the mid to late game. USF infantry outscale OKW and Ost infantry so hard it's not even funny. Only way for Ost infantry to survive is to stick together in blobs, and Obers take a good while to reach Vet 2, which is plenty of time for USF rifles to dominate. Vet 3 double barred rifles can a-move any squad and force them into a retreat - even vs vetted Obers. Panzergrens are a joke vs Riflemen. They're going to bleed insane amounts and lose in most/all situations vs a Vet 3 double BAR rifle squad. You ranked 100, I am sure you are better than me. I am just a noob. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade25 Jul 2018, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2018, 16:51 PMblvckdream You make some valid points overall but I disagree with this. Vet 3 RM with double Bar or LMG/Bar combo are better than Vet5 Volks despite not being able to build sandbags. Other than that they have the same "utility". Now does that make USF late game better than OKW late game? Not really, but at least it compensates a little bit. Panzerfaust is instant snare vs rifle nade takes a while, and sometimes when a unit uses smoke it bugged out. Rifle vet 3 late game is okay, just not great. But before you get vet3 rifle is squishy, so the problem is how to survive the early game with much less manpower bleed. Imagine if you lose a rifle squad early, the impact on the USF player vs lose a volk squad early. I had some many games where I wiped volks squad early vs OKW player, they still had okay mid game when the lucs comes out. But as USF losing RM early could be the end of the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade25 Jul 2018, 16:20 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2018, 15:17 PMFelixTHM Unlike what you claim, it's actually possible to win engagements and come out ahead MP-wise as every faction. What you are claiming is that in every situation, USF loses mp-wise, which is utter bs. Not to mention the fact that countless posters have already pointed out Riflemen's superior veterancy and scaling make up for the early game weakness with cost-efficient trading in the mid and late game. We are almost the same rank as USF, so it's not even possible to justify your incredibly biased and lopsided view. USF's weak early game is definitely something to be looked at, but not through spreading outright lies like the way you're doing. The worst thing is that we actually agree that USF has a weak early game and that the sandbag issue is a problem. USF is weak all stage of the game ATM IMO. Here is why, riflemen don't out scale axis infantry. Vet 3 and vet 5 volks is much durable and has more utility than riflemen. They gain vet much faster than the riflemen too, since they can engage at long range and retreat when less favorable matchups. It is often the case volks KDA is better than RM. And for some reason one Panzerfaust gives you insane amount of xp. Not to mention OKW can make ober which dominate riflemen. USF naturally does not have a late game infantry units like the ober, you have to preserve the riflemen and its vet. 20mins into the game, a fresh RM squad it is even harder for them to kill units and gain vets. On the other hand axis still can stay at max range get model drops,and gain vets since RM vet3 at long range really doesn't do dps. So a faction suppose to have the strongest infantry lose infantry fight all stage of the game? huh? Someone of you might say ranger and paratroopers. Lucs, flame half-track, 222 and puma with smoke meta makes easy manpower bleed. USF has light vehicles too, but it is also naturally at disadvantage. USF AA halftrack vs OKW AA, OKW has an at gun that doesn't require tech. One puma outclasses all USF light vehicles. Really unless you out skill your opponent, USF hard to play. Most people build WC truck nowadays to gain the advantage early. I really miss the old coh meta, where allies win the early game with infantry, and mid game could go either way. Late game axis can make comebacks with their heavy tank on little vps they have left. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF infantry upgrade24 Jul 2018, 22:47 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2018, 20:56 PMthedarkarmadillo Use a mortar? Why shouldn't a unit in a prepared position stand a chance or even beat a squad assaulting it without support? What's the point of cover even? I agree with you, but do you realize how easy it is for volks to have access to sandbags. You can't just have your mortar going all over the map. Even if you build a mortar, you got one less combat effective squad vs okw. When you barrage them behind cover, they can just simply move away,and your mortar is useless. On the hand, if OKW decided to blob at your cutoff, you are not going to win the engagement with one indirect fire unit. In: COH2 Balance
