Cyanara, I guess we differ on the level of damage we would expect from flame weapons. You have some balance concerns about flame weapons and thats fair enough - I agree with you hence I told Stug life i'm willing to pay for it (balance being a combination of unit strength and price).

We've seen it happen all too many times you get a blobs of snare wielding infantry and no amount of hard counters is ever enough. We should be rewarded for hard countering. I think getting hit with high flame damage is a fit punishment for such poor gameplay - a crime against the game and the community!

love the pathfinders change. Has been such an under utilised unit in current state of play

Any chance we can crank up the damage/DPS/suppression on flame weapons across the board for all factions?

I can tolerate watching infantryman shooting bullets and missing each other behind cover and crawling under suppression.

However, I find it rather obscene to see unprotected infantry in a blob (clearly on fire) carrying on business as usual.

These were highly lethal and psychologically damaging weapons. I doubt soldiers in WW2 were storming tanks or infantry while they were being hosed down in flames."Nah i'm only on fire a little bit"

I'm quite happy to pay more manpower and munitions for increased damage - just don't give me the ridiculous visual of 4 squads of volksgrenadiers or rifleman firing snares while they blatantly doused in flames!!

Ps not a balance issue as all flame weapons should be increased

Shout it out #burnbabyburn

Hi Coh2 community,

I've been spending a bit of time playing as the brits (I'm not an emplacement commander - please don't shoot me).

Just wanted some advice as to whether to open with the MG or Universal carrier?

I've had a go at both. My strategy has been to check whether its an open or urban map. From here I either rush IS into key building and MG. Or alternatively sequential capping with IS and use Universal carrier to stop enemy from taking key point until IS arrives.

What really interests me is the thought process by players to decide why they should go for what opening build. Is it mostly the faction they are versing or the potential commanders/bulletins they have seen chosen by opponents?

I've had some success and failure using both. The catalyst seems to be whether opponent rushes a 222 or a flame halftrack and if i've had enough time to prepare to T1 to 6 pounder. Its always a thrilling showdown.

I ask this because I ceased using the Universal carrier after it got nerfed prior to the self-repair (very handy). Its been a useful unit in stopping the man power bleed from running two IS in an opening.

Opening suggestions appreciated and is the vickers upgrade a viable soft counter against light unarmoured vehicles or should I always go WASP?
