Thread: Riflemen need a buff or Volks need a nerf?12 Aug 2019, 18:52 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Aug 2019, 18:22 PMpvtgooner Once again, TheDarkArmadillo provides the most salient comment in the thread. Volks are the way they are because it was easy for relic to paper over cracks like that. Now OKW players that have been suckling at the blob teat don't want it to go away. I hope Sanders93 and the balance team won't be so confrontational when it comes time to make the right decisions about this unit. Also, Stug Life, you wrote a 3 paragraph post with only two commas and no periods. PLEASE use punctuation because a lot of your posts are simply undecipherable as they are. And when youre trying to drag the whole thread widely off topic per usual, it makes it hard to follow you. Idk maybe thats your point lol. Actually... there was a day and age where volks WERE designed to be independent.... an age where the MG34 was restricted to the luftwaffe doctrine and barely did any suppression... and the maxim was the most feared and overpowered mg ingame... Those days conscripts being made of cheese compared to grens and volks was irrelevant since the maxim was the undeniable dominant force in the battlefield... Everything changed when the maxim was nerfed... as expected soviet winrates went below 45%... they became the worst faction bar none... and although OKW also lost its shreck blob it also gained the STG blob and a nondoc MG... Somehow the balance team forgot to adjust volk pricing when they gave OKW an MG far superior to the once vaunted maxim ???? But of course instead of fixing cons volks or the maxim the balance team decided to come up with the penal bullrush... And yes penals may exist... but theyre really only for earlygame bullrushes and the real supplement to the lack of core infantry for the soviets are guards.... take those away and the age of sub 45% winrate soviets will return yet again... and its soo dumb that.. just to compete with other factions... the soviets are the only faction ingame shoehorned into doctrines else risk being outcompeted hard by axis counterparts...

Thread: StuG life not viable12 Aug 2019, 18:10 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Aug 2019, 12:21 PMSerrith The StuG is a counter to allied TDs as an m10 is a counter to the JP4- it isnt. The StuG is a counter to allied medium tank spam, but due to the lack of flexibility of the unit, it is just more cost effective to save for a panzer 4 usually. The StuG fits a similar cost niche as the panzer 4 but doesnt offer as much synergy with different compositions. Hence my suggestion to nerf the penetration and rate of fire of the StuG in exchange for a reduced fuel cost as well. It does though... it may have 10 less range but it has all the stats required to beat allied tds in a 1v1 if they decide to duke it out for a measely 90 fuel... And comparisons to the M10 dont work since it doesnt have the same DPS as the stug and the JP4 is armored enough to resist the M10 In: COH2 Balance

And the clown car is for earlygame bullying and further proves my argument of soviet vehicle AI being squishy meanwhile the AAHT is for antiblob purposes... it doesnt deal as much damage as a flametruck or a pwerfer... and its still squishy In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuG life not viable12 Aug 2019, 12:05 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Aug 2019, 11:53 AMStug life as it should, i mean su 76 cost almost half of the p 4 ,comes earlier and can kite from 60 range, stug has 10 less range cost more both tech and unit, I would expect to counter medium tank that cost equal or slightly more when they rush it form the front as it's its only role (at least the su 76 has barrage) the su 76 can be safe from harm with it's 60 range (even from the stug) while the stug with 50 range will have to be in a worst position and even be out range form su 76 and other TD my beef with the SU-76 is the high cost of the barrage ability... outside of doctrines the soviets dont really have much vehicle based AI outside of 1. the T-34 2. the T-70 3. the katy and all of those units mentioned are all squishy and with the exception of the katyusha put you in range of enemy AT... (note T-34s have less health than the average medium) in contrast ostheer gets 1. the panzer 4 2. the ostwind 3. the brummbar 4. the panzerwerfer 5. the flametruck out of all these units only the flametruck and panzerwerfer are squishy... and the pwerfer and brummbar can attack outside of AT range... and the piece de resistance? your infantry are significantly outclassed for much of the match outside doctrines (conscripts) soo yeah id make the barrage cheaper or rework the SU-76 to have a switched static arty mode...

Thread: StuG life not viable12 Aug 2019, 11:54 AM i dont get why people think the stug isnt viable... it is a cost efficient counter to allied heavy TDs and mediums in a way the panzer 4 cannot hope to match... sure it lacks the AI of the P4 but ostheer now has 1. the newly buffed ostwind 2. the good ole brummbar 3. the panzerwerfer as dedicated AI options In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Is this a 50Cal bug or OP'ness? 12 Aug 2019, 06:16 AM That mg was suppressed not pinned... and no the mg42 is still the best machinegun ingame due to 1. Lower cost 2. Higher arc 3. Api rounds 4. Lack of a death loop Stop shoving your ideas of axis entitlement... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?12 Aug 2019, 06:08 AM 55 + 20/10 fuel puts it slightly more expensive but on par with the 40 + 15 fuel for BP 1/t1 In: COH2 Balance
