Thread: Sturmpioneers - Uberpioneers25 Mar 2016, 13:10 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2016, 12:29 PMzarok47 So, in the end it turns out i was right. This went alot easier then expected. Base mg's are a thing you know. I didn't mean rush base per se. I meant rushing points close to your base the ones you need to link yourself to other resources. Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2016, 12:40 PMsquippy I asked about map presence; I'm suggesting you ignore them and cap the map. I did not argue that cons could easily take them down. Map control is near impossible because of it, it really depends on luck in some maps where sturms can get you stuck and in the end for you to blob up until you have good means to counter them. Which means that if on top of being stuck at some place, your blob fails to gain map control at either left or right side, you're done already. I need to cap both fuel point to be sure to win, if not I'll have to spend the whole game managing a way to counter tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmpioneers - Uberpioneers25 Mar 2016, 12:22 PM The picture is easy to get. It's literally having shocks as an early unit. How do you counter sturms rushing in your base when you just started? The only way is to blob 2 cons, or 2 penals, then imagine when they shelter in houses. What's even worse, is that a sturm has the advantage if you are the one sheltering cons in house but they are at close range (this is an actual unbalanced feature only sturms can do ) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmpioneers - Uberpioneers25 Mar 2016, 12:09 PM Sorry about that. Just saying that being able to throw molotovs at sturms is impossible. It's not like the flame grenade from the counterpart. It's slow, absurdly slow (for a ridiculous cons dance) it doesn't do as much DPS as the OKW flame nade, and if anything, by the time you get to throw it (remember that when you throw a grenade, you deal less regular DPS from your squad), the sturms would have ripped your entire cons squad. Sturms are not good as a main infantry unit, the whole meta right now is to use them as rushing unit. So OKW has both the suprority in early and mid game, just because they have sturms available from start. Again just change this, and it's all good. This unit needs only a nerf in repair time, not in DPS. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Elite troops, Soviet industry, vet riflemen.25 Mar 2016, 12:05 PM The only reason Soviet Industry was good, was because of that ability that made tanks build faster. For what prupose did they remove it? Fuel income is useless without it, I can build fuel caches whenever I want, I don't need trucks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmpioneers - Uberpioneers25 Mar 2016, 11:58 AM Molotovs are not good anymore, are you playing the game in 2013 ? Whoever uses them as grenades is a huge noob. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets - Too Strong25 Mar 2016, 11:47 AM I'm sorry but you guys are terribly bad, if as OKW you get downed by Guards, SU76 spam, and maxims. Shocks I can understand. But all the upper have been nerfed beyond any logical possibility, what are you asking of soviets? They are with no doubt the weakest faction right now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Idea for Penals25 Mar 2016, 11:45 AM Penals are underperforming for their price and meta consideration, you need to spend in a building that has no way to counter vehicles for it. It still makes conscript opening the most safe way to play soviets. What I think should be done, is to : -Buff them so that they are good at both mid and long range (make the DPS the same for both these ranges, they are using a SVT rifle). -Give them the ability to upgrade with RPG-43 grenades. This is just one suggestion, I know it may be overpowered, but I see it fit for them: -Make their resistance to supression even bigger, as penals it's only fair they are made to counter MGs and shouldn't be affraid to rush them down.

Thread: Sturmpioneers - Uberpioneers25 Mar 2016, 11:31 AM It's just obvious the only problem with sturms so far is that they are available as starting unit when they shouldn't. If an OKW player wants to rush in early game, he has to pay for this choice. Right now rushing is a 70% guaranteed way to win when coupled with volk blob(in early game again) and they have nothing to pay for it, it's free, highly rewarding, almost no cons to the strategy, whenever in danger = retreat. It can be countered as USF, or UK. But as Soviet, this meta is decisive. Rushingg sturms is the most annoying thing so far, or maybe it's just me? In: COH2 Balance
