Thread: AT infantry for OKW?7 Feb 2018, 04:25 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2018, 04:19 AMdk828315 Fausts are good for snaring, they don't do serious damage like schrecks, and against decent players they will just reverse their vehicle as soon as they see volks come running, and flanking is just wishful thinking, considering the lack of urban maps nowadays I dunno about you, but I'd rather have a pak than that cheesy raketen Yeah but the fact that volks (and all other mainline inf except sections) can force away tanks is not to be underestimated at all, even against good players. In a way, they're just as threatening as schrecks since they can make a tank a sitting duck and just their existence coupled with the fact that they are on a majority of the infantry on the map means that tanks have significantly less breakthrough ability on their own and can't just steamroll at walls and suicide dive other armor all day. Rak can also cloak and retreat, so that's pretty nice. I actually like them a lot. In: COH2 Balance

Infantry AT was quite effective at AI at the time too. The problem was volks, with vet, could barely miss at max range. Combine the cost, the infantry sniping, rapid vetting, and max range accuracy... and you can see that a fix was necessary. Sturms were given the schreck and volks got stgs instead. And so the problem with volks schrecks was effectively removed. God that was such a weird time now that we think about it. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Allied Tank Spam3 Feb 2018, 18:58 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2018, 01:02 AMTwo Years Gone Yeah, they lack mobility and I was too dead set on making the Wehrmacht a mobile fighting force (since historically the Germans were pretty much nonstop offense even when retreating). Suppose that's what the OKW is for. Now I realize how sparse Pgrens should be used and that Paks/Stugs should be used in pairs. The biggest problem I had was the fact that they would get easily flanked but that's more of a flawed MG placement on my part. If you want mobility/more flexible defense non schrecked pgrens shred allied infantry and are exceptional at countering flanking squads, although they are somewhat squishy and vulnerable to explosives (and expensive). Their stgs are good out to mid range too, unlike the sturmpios'. When on the defensive, I use them as a reserve force to handle any allied infantry that tries to close or flank my hmgs, and I think one of the best feelings in the world is chuckinga bundled nade in the middle of a giant blob. I do also like to keep one schrecked squad around for doing the same but with tanks. Also, in regards to OP, spammed mediums are pretty easy to faust en masse, allowing your paks and stugs to finish them off from a safe distance, while infantry can be handled with hmgs, grens, and pgrens. Just remember to keep everything supported, as ost relies heavily on combined arms to function at its best. In: Strategy Desk

Thread: Missing The Old StormTrooper and if they comeback?3 Feb 2018, 17:42 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2018, 17:24 PMadamírcz The new stormtroopes should get tne same stealth as commandos- the ambush bonus, or they would instawipe anything. Then they would be fun to play Yeah I see no reason that this shouldn't happen. Even though stgs are better than stens, they cost 100 muni and the unit is near indistinguishable from pgrens right now. Using the ability that makes them more lethal right out of hanging camo might be a bit op though. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Mortar3 Feb 2018, 16:45 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2018, 04:27 AMthedarkarmadillo Could be cool but i think WP is bloody strong, to come on something so early might be game breaking. Them mortars vet pretty fast. That said holy hell i want it. Also worth noting that usf has no flamers and grenades are locked behind a costly sidetech, and still not even that great against buildings. It'd be a neat solution to garrison clearance and it takes a while for the usf mortar to hit vet1 anyway. In: COH2 Balance
