Thread: Looking at USF28 Sep 2018, 01:41 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2018, 01:10 AMelchino7 Ez. Go ask all USF top main players why they basically drop the faction starting by Devm. Since conception, USF has been driven by the old Soviet design of polarizing teching options which was surpassed by having strong shocking value units. The LT/Cpt coming with weapons and then the light vehicles. As opposed to UKF, i think USF has all the tools it needs, the problem been how they access to them. PD: with the exception of good late game indirect fire. Wait pack howie is freaking amazing. It just always dies to rocket arty though. I would say one of the biggest weaknesses of the faction is the offensive late game tank department since almost all their tanks are so squishy. UKF only works if you crutch really really really hard off commandos IMO. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview26 Sep 2018, 22:59 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2018, 07:40 AMVipper The problem is not that Jackson can fight PzIV but that it can fight the majority of axis vehicles effectively. In the case of PzIV the problem is that the chance to hit and penetrate a PzIV is very high even at max range while it not easy to be flanked like the SU-85 or have slow ROF like FF. M-36 performance is part of the reason that M-10 which is a cost efficient unit sees little action. TD should actually be separated to those best fitted vs medium tanks and those better fitted to fight heavy tanks. There isn’t a TD that performs poorly overall against other any other tanks though. Why only the Jackson should be made to be such doesn’t really make sense. Sure, it’s faster and has a turret, but all the other TDs have some sort of advantage as well. JPIV can camo and has good armor, making it riskier to attempt to engage frontally, while the SU85 has very long range free self spotting and the firefly has tulips and somewhat longer sight range with the tank commander upgrade . Even stug has TWP and is at least very cost effective and puts out a lot of raw DPS still. It also has a pintle and can shoot down planes (sometimes) but that’s largely irrelevant. Jackson is also the second most expensive TD after the firefly (why firefly is still the most expensive is beyond me but whatever). In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW UP?26 Sep 2018, 22:34 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2018, 02:34 AMShadowLinkX37 I have no idea how to get OKW to function in 1v1 anymore, but from what I see in tournies and top players, you need to be aggressive with your sturms early, especially vs USF since they start with a sizeable disadvantage. A light vehicle is required a lot of the time to help your volks through mid game. raks are always near your light, and don't try and fight upgraded allied infantry 1v1 with volks unless its con ppshs at max range. Sturms are the saving grace of okw early game vs usf. They beat all their units in 1v1 scenarios and are good for grabbing key garrisons (which usf are very weak against) and keeping riflemen from moving up on your volks. The kubel is also very nice as usf has no automatic weapons at the beginning of the game or you could just cap the other side of the map with it and focus your entire army on his side. If he goes lieutenant he has not at guns, so FHT or luchs, and no good indirect, so leigs are also good. If he goes captain he has absolutely no suppression so playing infantry heavy is to your benefit there. It’s also very doable to hold off on choosing commanders until he picks a tier and then picking based off what he will have or not (ex. going luftwaffe because he went captain and has no suppression to deal with falls). Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2018, 21:14 PMVonIvan OKW are strong when you blob and rush light vehicles, continually camping the cutoff of your opponent. Cmd panther or jadgtiger are strong. Rushing puma with (Heat) shells allow to 3 shot medium vehicles. Doesn’t puma HEAT take 4 shots to kill mediums? Unless you mean something other than tanks. In: OKW Strategies

Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch26 Sep 2018, 22:24 PM Has there been any word on the new commanders that are supposed to come in this patch too? Are those still going to be a thing? In: Lobby
Thread: Looking at USF26 Sep 2018, 22:21 PM The biggest thing would be to fix the teching somehow. Why they put all the at units (Stuart and at gun) and all the suppression units (AAHT and .50) in the same tiers is beyond me. Either making teching linear (and make one officer not free for balance reasons) or swapping the units around a bit would help a lot. On the topic of a lack of tanky tanks, maybe a global upgrade for more hp/armor on Shermans would help. If it was veterancy based then losing veteran tanks would be too big of a blow for how comparatively easy it is to lose mediums in the late game (when that kind of upgrade would matter). Making it a health increase rather than an armor increase would make it more consistent and mean the tank would spend that much more time repairing if damaged (so it’d be better for counterplay IMO). It’s worth noting that soviets are the only other faction with mediums and TD’s as their nondoctrinal armor ceiling, but t34s are significantly cheaper than Shermans. The fact that usf has to pour almost all their muni into BARs for the first 40 minutes of the game also kinda hurts them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Company need to be rework26 Sep 2018, 22:08 PM Again, LMGs don’t really fit the commander as it’s supposed to be aggressive and mobile. Maybe give them the M5 callin from tactical support? That seems to be he only unit that would actually do anything for the theme of this commander. Flares should also be looked at; they are a little expensive and aren’t that useful on an infantry focused faction that needs to put single then double BARs on all its squads in a company where infantry are even more so the main focus. Soviets can deal with the cost because they don’t need so many weapons upgrades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Company need to be rework26 Sep 2018, 02:02 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2018, 00:05 AMthedarkarmadillo Swap lmgs from infantry with flames from rifle? LMGs make way more sense on infantry and flamers make way more sense on rifle IMO. Rifle is more mobile and aggressive while infantry is more focused on holding the line and pounding the enemy with indirect. Infantry is actually a very well designed commander that needs no tweaks in the current state of the game IMO. Rifle needs better/more abilities; 2 slots being taken up by overpriced flares and a shitty version of sprint is very underwhelming, especially in a faction that practically relies on commanders for half its army composition and strategy.

Dedicated AT unit that can do literally nothing but fight armour and only from head on is better at fighting armour than a generalist unit with utility! Gather yer pitchforks, relic dun goofed! Lol +1 Don’t forget the part where the JPIV doesn’t have a turret. Meanwhile people still complain that the jackson can fight p4s (that’s a topic for another thread but I had to draw the parallel).
