So, now we have it. Late in the war Volkssturm-Units were also part on Volksgrenadier-Units. Can't get it, what has freikorps being in volksturm anything to do with volksgrenadiers ? In: COH2 Balance

Likewise, keep an open mind to all information--treat it as plausible (or even true) unless proven wrong. Don't shoot it down just because it does not comply with your previously acquired knowledge. Also, CoH2 is a game with historical flavor, not historical accuracy. I would argue that historical accuracy is not a very good reason to tweak game balance. Try to stay on topic, and keep it civil. Obviously the book of the most famous ww2 historian has no value compared to wikipedia RU and some unknown site. Crecer is right tovarich. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper7 Dec 2018, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 23:11 PMWiderstreit We are speaking of last war-weeks until battle of Berlin etc. and back there Volkstum-units were sometimes also part of regular Volksgrenadier-battalions. They also fought with SS units. Also Standschützenbataillone and Freikorps were part of the Volkssturm. Edit: They wern't regular units, but sometimes they fought under the order of normal Heeresleitung. I think you are German? Breslau wurde bis in den Mai 1945 hinein durch Volksturm und Wehrmachtverbänden verteidigt. I'm not german. Volkssturm ABSOLUTELY did fight with regular troops. The whole concept behind that is a numerous force that could work with actual troops as reserve unit. Freikorps were foreign units from Axis allies and loyalist from annexed countries, they still logically need some at least physically fit men in the unit while being still untrained. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper6 Dec 2018, 22:52 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 22:22 PMmurky depths From that same article, 2 more paragraphs below. "They were organized around small cadres of hardened veteran soldiers, NCOs and officers, and then bulked out with anything the Replacement Army could supply: "jobless" personnel of the shrinking Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe, wounded soldiers from broken formations returning to duty from hospitals, older men who would have been considered too old or too unfit for the peacetime army and teenagers were recruited into the ranks." Not that I'd necessarily quote wikipeda as my go to source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksgrenadier 1) The difference being that "too young" men were 17 years old at worst and "too old" men were over the 50's while volkssturm was made out of old and children. (Check enlistment requirements) 2) Wounded soldiers from battle hardened divisions that returned from hospitals to duty---> what's wrong with that ? Is normal that soldiers that can fight again return to duty after being treated 3) "jobless" navy and air personnel received basic military training to begin with to become a pilot/sailor, and such practise was common among all armies (rear echelons) Also the whole "Volksturm were put in volks division" is bullshit because a quick check of the order of battle and division organization can confirm that volksgrenadiers was under the command of the Heer while volkssturm was under the command of the NSDAP In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper6 Dec 2018, 22:17 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 20:40 PMthedarkarmadillo How would you describe a militia? Because they mixed up VOLKSgrendier with VOLKSsturm. Completely unacceptable and totally unreasonable to mix up VOLKS with VOLKS. MADNESS I SAY. "Volksgrenadier was the name given to a type of German Army division formed in the Autumn of 1944 after the double loss of Army Group Center to the Soviets in Operation Bagration and the Fifth Panzer Army to the Allies in Normandy. The name itself was intended to build morale, appealing at once to nationalism (Volk) and Germany's older military traditions (Grenadier). Germany formed 78 VGDs during the war. Volksgrenadier divisions were professional military formations with effective weapons and equipment, unlike the unrelated Volkssturm militia." Can we put an end to the semantic debate here ?

Thread: King Tiger - Is it worth buying?6 Dec 2018, 20:15 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 19:59 PMCrecer13 Can you read Russian? And to be honest, I do not see the point in arguing with you that you will refute all the facts you have been given. I use Russian sources you use others. And they will be different. You give me an example of a book of a foreigner, but this is a Soviet tank, in all Russian books 2.4 revolutions per minute are written. I have noticed for a long time incorrect data in the attitude of the Russian / Soviet weapons from foreign sources. So for example, in all Foreign Sources, Fedorov’s Avtomat has 450 rounds per minute for technical documents and instructions for soldiers written during the First World War. It has 600 rounds per minute. So sorry your info is bullshit. Of course "foreign sources" are incorrect and obscure russian site and wikipedia got it right. I get it. Thanks for the enlightment.

Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper6 Dec 2018, 20:12 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 20:03 PMTheGentlemenTroll I don't think I was complaining about the STG44, I dont really have an issue with it minus the fact it confuses some players on the effective ranges the upgrade causes. IE a lot of people think the STG upgrade is just a mid to close range buff but in reality its a buff to all ranges. I'd prefer it be more clear to less experienced players. Other than that I find STGs fine. Wasn't referring to you. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper6 Dec 2018, 19:53 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 19:42 PMTheGentlemenTroll The STG44 on volks is a steroid buff at all ranges, so its still ideal to keep volks at mid-long range. Only exception might be Tommies. Indeed Which is something several people complain about, but actually means nothing. Mg42 is a buff at all ranges G42 is a buff at all ranges Dp28 is a buff at all ranges ..... The "iTsAnOBRaiNer" bullshit again and again Any of you guys complaining about "no brainer" upgrade ...point me a single upgrade that isn't a no brainer How many times did you avoid mg42 as grens if you didn't have a g43 doctrine ? How many times did you avoid cons ppsh because of the long range dps downgrade except that ppsh cons are simply ten times more efficient anyway ? How many times did you decide to not upgrade brens or bars if you had ammo racks ? Every single upgrade except handheld at is a no brainer, unless there's two of them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscripts need to be cheaper6 Dec 2018, 19:39 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Dec 2018, 19:30 PMWiderstreit Sure, they are. But with the STG44 upgrade (sure other stats as Sturmpio) they become something else. Why an upgrade if you can replace them with Sturmpios and Obersoldaten? I don't see the reason for the upgrade. With Commander Volks can get a MP40 upgrade. Can be replaced by Sturmpios and Obersoldaten or call-ins. So why the STG44 upgrade? Only because of blobbing? They don't become anything else, they still benefit the most from staying at long range, and is how they should be used. In: COH2 Balance
