Thread: Machine Gun(s)5 May 2019, 13:46 PM If memory serves, always go accuracy. Bulletins are so minor I can't see them swinging games much though. Bullshit ones like snare range nonwithstanding. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch5 May 2019, 13:43 PM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2019, 13:17 PMSuperhet They're easier to shut down with machine guns because of being more expensive so there is less threat of flanks or capping, lacking smoke and sprint and having short ranged grenades. Their only means of flanking machine guns gets destroyed by stock fausts. They lose to OKW's infantry force from minute 0 to the end. They received some hefty buffs several patches ago. A Penal Batallion beats a Volksgrenadier squad one-on-one now. Combine that with the M3A1 Scout Car and Soviet can easily take the early game from OKW. It can't be that hard to press the panzerfaust ability Ultra-light vehicles have been the meta for a while, so people have got good at kiting with them. Walk a Gren towards a M3A1 Scout Car and it'll reverse away even at mid ranks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Half-trucks for OKW5 May 2019, 13:37 PM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2019, 12:13 PMKatitof Vipper already said why 250 is NOT a good replacement, why opel is perfect -FOR OKW- and why OKW can't have any stock one. So unless you want OKW infantry to be neutered, you're not getting one. I don't agree with Vipper. The OKW Opel is terrible. Its aura has such a short range that you lose the halftrack if you try to use it so all it can do is skulk behind shotblockers. It plays like a 30 FU Ambulance without healing. Replacing it with a 250 would be undeniably powerful, but at CP3 its counters are available and OKW already has the Flak HT/Luchs available. Furthermore, it'd be in the off-meta Feuersturm doctrine: unless it makes Feuersturm stronger than Overwatch/Special Operations it wouldn't be a net buff to the faction. And if OKW really can't have a decent halftrack, replace that ability with something worthwhile. The Opel is a dead slot in an off-meta doctrine. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Half-trucks for OKW5 May 2019, 11:49 AM Jump back to quoted post5 May 2019, 09:33 AMKatitof You have opel blitz already. And OKW isn't getting any completely new non doctrinal unit, unless you play a mod that does it. The Opel Blitz is practically a dead ability. It costs as much as a proper halftrack, but has no armour and is unarmed. The 250 would be a good replacement for it. Sticking Sturmpioneers in it would be pretty strong, but it comes out at 2CP and it means not going for OKW's more powerful doctrines. Personally though, I think that halftrack Widerstreit designed that can hull down and deploy an anti-tank gun is the best use for that slot. Good synergy with the doctrine and not as boring as an outright Pak 40. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW Core changes commander Revamp Patch4 May 2019, 20:30 PM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2019, 13:45 PMSkysTheLimit I can work with that, makes sense. But being able to retreat does distinguish it from the zis and m42. Within my suggestion a 5th man is a nice survivability buff, so what would you think about removing retreat (including the other changes too)? It's retreat + 50 range or no retreat + 60 range imo. A 50 range Raketenwerfer with no retreat would constantly change hands. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Core changes commander Revamp Patch4 May 2019, 12:37 PM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2019, 12:22 PMSkysTheLimit You want it to have more damage than all other AT guns even though it's cheaper and arrives earlier? And you don't even mention range, which is it's most distinct weakness? That's ridiculous Give it a 5th man, no movement while camo'd, and it can't retreat until you deactivate it. Give it back the range bonus with vet (used to be vet 4, should be at vet 2 or 3) and then let's re-evaluate Toggled camo's an unnecessary feature if the AT gun can't move in camo. It should cloak automatically when stationary. The cloaked ZiS and M42 should work like that too. Moving AT gun camo is both irritating for the opponent and an unnecessary micro burden on the AT gun's owner. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ostheer Core changes commander Revamp Patch4 May 2019, 00:28 AM To be honest? After playing around with Jae's Ostheer build, I think PGrens are fine with the new changes. No radical overhaul needed. In: COH2 Balance
