Thread: Nerf "Encirclement Doctrine" Axis. BROKEN2 Sep 2021, 20:35 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 20:06 PMwaasdijki If you're playing random and your up against an arranged team its a 99% change your going to lose that game anyway. It doesn't matter if they use encirclement or any other doctrine. I've won plenty of random games to top 20 AT teams in 3v3. It's cancerous and hard to play, but not impossible. One thing I've noticed with every AT is that they go 2v1 hard on one opponent. Most problems when playing with randoms is that if you get a lower skilled players, they will not be able to take advantage of the 2v1 your teammate is having and encircle the deep pushes. Otherwise, if you get people that know what they're doing, you can win anything. But that's not the point. The point is that the ENC doctrine is fine. It's not broken, it's cheese and hard to pull off. Main problem is the map design on some maps (eg redball) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Gren Rifle nade is to powerful.2 Sep 2021, 18:41 PM The only problem with the rifle nade on grens is that it's bugged. Balance wise it's quite normal and not OP in the slightest. The nade not getting called out, the animation bugging out, etc. are the problems, but they have nothing to do with the performance of the nade itself. In: COH2 Balance

If it is so broken OP, why don't you spend 1 minute with engineers to build a cache AND barbed wire around the capping circle, and maybe even a bunker? Stormtroopers cant do anything vs that fast enough. And if you are telling me now that it's the TANKS that neutralize your cutoffs on whiteball and redball, then your team is just complete trash. In almost 7,000 hours I've had the ability successfully used against me once or twice + In 500 games I've played competitively I've had it successfully pulled of once. And it was in a rank 200 AT vs rank 10 and 2 rank 5000 teammates. And in casual games never ever seen it neither had a teammate that successfully pulled it off. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relief for USF teching problems2 Sep 2021, 11:51 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2021, 11:44 AMJibberJabberJobber It would probably be preferable to rebalance Ostheer tech costs as opposed to linearizing every faction as much as Ostheer. Agreed. Have you ever thought of buffing the AA HT suppression? Or anything really. The AA mode fixed all of it's AA problems but it's suppression and clumsiness to use (must use handbreak, which can lead to problems), not to mention the 2 shot without any smoke or anything really force you to backtech to lieutenant for the MG In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Nerf "Encirclement Doctrine" Axis. BROKEN1 Sep 2021, 22:09 PM Some maps it is not that hard to pull of by an arranged team but it's still rare. It's a funny gimmicky commander that has some cancer in it but that's it. The ability itself is more than fine. Need to react fast though, real fast if it happens to you. Redball is a horrible map to start with, and the easiest to pull off In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.1 Sep 2021, 19:06 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 18:31 PMPip I don't get it, you "don't care", but you mentioned it to begin with. And how does it make sense that you "wouldn't want to make him look bad by having proof", but you're still totally willing to declare it to be true? Because I have no proof, you are free to believe whatever you want. I stated it in response to the "I don't trust the official balance team". I don't either. It's my reason as to why I do not trust them... well, at least one of them I do not trust. I didn't declare it to be true. I've said my experience of being in the match with him. Didn't declare him anything. What are you on about? If I did have proof, and actually put it on, I think the backlash would be much greater than me posting it on this thread ad-hoc. Here, it's just an experience of a random game, no harm no foul In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.1 Sep 2021, 14:11 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 12:58 PMGachiGasm And have you compared them to ... lets say volks? And have you considered that idk, Rifles\Cons already not supposed to fight at long ranges and that Tommies are winning cover to cover engagements? PFs over volks have an 0.27 DPS advantage in yellow cover at range 35. In other words PFs are inferrior at every single range then volks, and slitghtly better at long range. What are you trying to say here? That you want to fight PFs at ranges other mainlines, but tommies are not supposed to fight and then call them strong because you arent playing properly? But yes, lets bring sturmpios because why not. Sure. Volks are still stronger then PFs even paired with sturmpios, whats your point? A) Much better investment than volks, they have much better lategame potential B) While fussies win the same engagements as volks (long range vs rifles and medium-long vs cons, close-medium range vs sections) C) G43 D) G43 E) G43 I want to fight PFs at ranges other mainlines are not supposed to fight? So you just charge over whatever terrain to close in to PFs with rifles? If you are first to the point, fussies (and volks) can hold their ground vs everyone Tested an average engagement on an average map with average distance. Rifles won at that range. Cons lost, Sections got wrecked. Tested it a couple of times. Each time same result. Dropped smoke between them before making one of them the enemy. Engagements like this one are on pretty much every map there is. Cover on both sides of the point, no cover on the point and fighting to see who wins. So opening up with fussies is good vs both brits and soviets. Less so vs rifles, but considering that rifles open up with echelons which are the worst combat unit there is, you can easily turn the tide with aggressive sturmpios. You can play like that until you get G43s but that's a whole other matchup with different units behind different mainlines. *BUT THIS IS NOT THE POINT*. The same tests can be done with volks and the results would be the same. The point is, the G43 upgrade makes PFs the best mainline there is, by far. Least micro intensive with lots of utility, best of which is the flare/sight upgrade. So you have a squad that is pretty much the same as volks early on. A not too shabby squad which is poor on close range (hence sturmpios) but which upgrades into something much better than the volks upgrade. Volks downside, and the existence of Obers defines their lategame combat prowess. They fall off, start losing to pretty much everything BECAUSE the army that is behind them is vastly superior to anything allies can field. Fussies negate that. Fussies have no distinct weaknesses and have vast benefits. The biggest problem is the myth that volks/fussies are bad at start. They have specific distances at which they win, same as rifles. And you absolutely need to take into consideration the unit a faction opens with. It's not the same fussies + sturmpio and cons + CE. If you're talking about the starting performance (eg. first 3-4 minutes) then the starting unit needs to be included. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.1 Sep 2021, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 12:13 PMGachiGasm Well you should firstly: 1) Agro less 2) Read what I was saying before As I was saying 4vs4 PFs arent 1v1\2v2 PFs. In 4v4 its much easier to play with them and they are stronger. Speaking of, can you like not bring G43 like they start the game with it for a second? G43 is BS, but I clearly said that G43 is BS, because default PFs are shit. You can agrue as long as you want, but for a 270MP unit, default PFs are utter garbage, volks are better in early game then PFs its a fact, also the fact that volks arent particularly good should ring a bell. If you have problems dealing with PFs more then you have with Volks early, then I have bad news for you. PFs early game advantage over volks - snare, thats it, because its allow OKW to not get completly cheesed out by sov clown car and UKF UC. And about G43 read ending of my previous post, i've said why its broken. When you have all your DPS concentrated in few models of a 6 men squad, while the rest of the squad is a meatshield you are begging to have something broken. Well you should check 1v1 yellow cover to yellow cover PF vs any other mainline mid range and long range. And also take into account the starting unit for OKW which is Sturmpio which annihilates every other mainline unit close to medium range. And also check https://coh2.serealia.ca/# the stats of vet0 PF and compare them to other mainlines before saying that PFs are utter garbage. Utter garbage for garbage player definitely.

Thread: I don't trust the official balance team.1 Sep 2021, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2021, 11:01 AMGachiGasm Thats not true. Guards, grens and paras become significantly better with weapon upgrades, but they are not weak without them considering timings. PF in early game is objectively the weakest inf in the game considering their price. Yeah but why? I mean you either go full house PF or 1 Volk (for sandbag) and 3 PF. There is no reason to mix volks with PFs like what so ever, simply because you will end up with a handicapped army anyway. The only somewhat realistic scenario is 3 volks and 1 PF later upgraded with Schrecks maybe. Ofcouse exluding situations where OKW go full retard and gets like up to 5 inf squads. This is actually funny question what is easier to deal with PF blobs or Obers. As I was saying previously obersts are uttery retarded unit, expecially in teamgames. Because the only justification of its overpowered nature - the shit DPS scaling of Volks past mid game. You're either extremely delusional or a bad player or extremely wehr-horny. PFs are not that weak early on. Overall the are the best mainline one can get, out of all mainlines in all factions. The G43 upgrade which also gives bonus sight is beautiful for the OKW aggressive playstyle. What are you on about? They are the most cost efficient squad there is. There is a reason why pretty much every game features fussies in teamgames, especially vs brits and USF which lack good blob control. Their effectiveness is somewhat lessened in 1v1 due to the nature of the mode, where you don't really want to blob and lose territory on a relatively large map for 200 population. I've seen 2x volks + 2x fussies. I've seen fussies only. I've seen fussies and kubel opening. In whichever build you add fussies, they improve the strength in all stages of the game. 10dmg paired with good long and medium range accuracy is not something to throw aside. Just compare the stats of kar98 to other mainline infantry and check the range/accuracy values, and you'll see how you can use them most efficiently. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?31 Aug 2021, 16:39 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2021, 16:03 PMKurobane The M8 Scott never deleted full squads though at any point in COH2's history, you are exaggerating its effectiveness and making it seem like it was a Sturmtiger with no cooldown that deletes the entire Whermacht roster when that is false. Even if it was true (its not) how is that any different from Dual Panzerwerfers which can make it almost impossible to capture anything without getting squads deleted and are far deadlier as well as being able to damage vehicles. Why is it ok for Whermacht to have the ability to delete squads with Panzerwerfers but its outrageous for USF to have that same ability? That mentality of yours is exactly why Axis have almost 60% win rate in team games because of bias like this that exists. If one faction has the ability to delete full squads then either all factions should have a similar level to do so or none of them should. Every Faction should have the same access to tools in their stock roster no if and or buts about it. As long as Panzerwerfer/Stuka exist then the M8 Scott should be in a similar realm to those units not vastly sub-par that the Stock Whermacht mortar out performs it. It's called wehrabooism. Mentality of such people is non-negotiable and therefore, any attempt at reasoning should be met with extreme caution, as engaging with infected individuals can lead to the loss of brain cells (due to cell suicide), time and patience.
