Thread: soo when can they fix the maxim deathloop?4 Sep 2018, 03:12 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 16:09 PMFelixTHM "3 barifles vs an MG34 and 3 LMGgrens vs maxim.... those barifles will get suppressed in a frontal charge" Learn to play dude. Learn to play. Such situations only happen to the lowest level players. If you think the Maxim is atrocious while the MG34 is in a "good spot", learn to play. L2P please. Maybe you should go back to school... that should improve your awful reading comprehension You sound even more retarded when u find out i main sov wehr and okw... im the one setting up the mg34s not rushing them with barifles In: COH2 Balance

I've tried my best to drill ideas to many, but only those who choose to listen will be the only ones who learn. And furthermore...... S C O P E that would make it excessively difficult to balance without causing spam though... not having a decent backbone means only gamey strats are going to be used while simultaneously suppressing potential options for other strategies... it would actually hurt diversity in the long run not to give the soviets a decent backbone infantry think of it this way... if cons remain unscalable in the lategame... then i would simply spam something that does scale like machineguns or penals rather than opt for adding conscripts to support my penals or maxims... why should i build a unit completely useless to my fighting capacity? currently the only use i have for conscripts is for reinforcing my flame engineers and maxims when i go for T2 builds In: COH2 Balance

Note that this applies per squad, as 2x 3man squad doesn't receive the same amount of suppression. -It's also pointless to test a unit against unit he will never be facing. Say maxim vs conscripts. -Performance is always gonna a bit tad lower than slow to deploy 4 man model MGs. -Not sure T2 strats are bad as you call it to be. https://www.coh2.org/news/81260/gcs2-game-stats-with-siphon-x 1. noted 2. we do know that the maxim is inferior at suppressing a 6 man squad than the MG34 is suppressing a 6 man squad aswell... if the maxim is shooting at a 4 man squad that would make the maxim even shittier than the experiment suggests 3. yeah T2 strats are viable in the condition where there is a second MG covering the first... 1 maxim simply isnt enough In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soo when can they fix the maxim deathloop?3 Sep 2018, 12:06 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Sep 2018, 04:36 AMFelixTHM Not sure what school of statistics you're referring to but a simple google search will tell you that the smallest minimum sample size you need is 100. For a game like COH2 in which my Grenadiers have lost to a Rear Echelon squad due to pure RNG and my T34-76 has beaten an OKW P4 due to lucky pens and deflections, small sample size is as good as nothing. If you have 3 BARed Rifle squads and you can't handle an MG34.....It's really a L2P issue or a massive skill gap issue. maybe you need to learn to read before you advise people to l2p... this is the last time i will remind you to read my statements before replying i do NOT have a problem with the MG34... and i CAN take out an mg34 with a well placed smoke barrage and a nade... and i have NO problem with this... MGs are meant to be flanked and killed not charged directly the problem i do have is with LMG GRENADIER BLOBS CHARGING INFRONT OF THE MAXIM AND KILLING IT... which is why... IF YOU ARE FINE WITH THE MAXIM BEING THAT CRAP THEN LETS REDUCE THE MG34 TO BE FRONTALLY CHARGABLE WITH 3 BARIFLES FRONTALLY ASWELL SO YOU DONT SOUND LIKE A FUCKING HYPOCRITE I DONT WANT THE MG34 NERFED... I JUST USED IT TO ENHANCE THE ORIGINAL SENTENCE I MADE... Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2018, 13:00 PMgbem the maxim has such bad suppression that a triple LMG gren blob or a single volksgrenadier and a flame nade can solo charge it and win... is it intentional aswell for a triple lmg gren blob to solo an mg from the front without cover? if that were the case then id love the mg34 and mg42 to be nerfed to the point where i can solo charge it with 3 barfles >.> IT WAS SIMPLY A PASSING STATEMENT NOT A DESIRE.. DRILL THAT INTO YOUR HEAD... rant over read next time jesus christ >.> your inability to read my statements leads to such stupid conclusions also im in my postgraduate studies and ive had researches with sample sizes as low as 40... others had 20... now its true that coh 2 has alot of variables... would prolly require a sample size of approx 60-80 to be safe... but i for one am not conducting a statistical test of that scale... if you wish to do so then be my guest...

The current pop fixes spam in 1v1 and encourages cooperation in team games. well idk im not sure it should have the same popcap as the slightly more expensive JP4... its an opinion but ehh...

Thread: soo when can they fix the maxim deathloop?2 Sep 2018, 19:24 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2018, 17:44 PMVipper That theory went out with USF mortar. If one contacted test between USF/Ostheer mortar against conscripts he would probably come to the conclusion that USF is slightly better in game it was proven to be OP. Incremental accuracy and higher TS probably help the HMG-42/HMG-34 be more accurate vs cons and thus suppress them faster. Arc was buffed in previous patches. Overall, the changes are the following: * Arc of fire increased from 60 degrees to 90 degrees (other MGs have 90-120 degrees) 1. there are alot of variables that decide suppression and dpm... distance target size fire rate and suppression/damage values all come into play... testing each one would be extremely long... however it is safe to conclude that... vs a target of 1.06 target size at maximum range the mg34 is superior to the maxim... and that statement already casts doubt on your claims 2. its arc is still shit however... good or decent suppression should at least compensate for that shitty arc... which it doesnt for the maxim... which is why im proposing the option of either buffing suppression or buffing the arc... or a mix of both In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we get some pop cap reductions next patch?2 Sep 2018, 17:27 PM the SU85 shouldnt have 15 pop though imo... its a good dpm platform but it doesnt seem fitting at 15 pop... 14 or 13 would be better In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soo when can they fix the maxim deathloop?2 Sep 2018, 17:15 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2018, 15:39 PMShadowLinkX37 That is what smith told me pre march 28th patch 2017, since the removal of penal flamers brought back the unnerfed maxim spam. what id recommend is give cons a weapon upgrade like a DP and give the maxim decent suppression... at least to compensate for that god awful deathloop... the former suggestion (green cover suppression) makes it problematic for the maxim as its low firing arc means its gonna have to move around alot to survive anyways... oddly enough thats how i use the maxim as of the moment... by taking advantage of 2 maxims and letting the first one get overwhelmed for the second to suppress In: COH2 Balance
Thread: soo when can they fix the maxim deathloop?2 Sep 2018, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2018, 08:33 AMVipper Using conscripts squad as targets might influences the results due to incremental accuracy. Weapon are designed vs specific target that usually do not include allied squad. not really since the HMG is firing at the same kind of target... a maxim MG may kill a cons squad more quickly than a 50 cal may kill an obersoldaten... but that doesnt mean the maxim outdamages the 50 cal... the nature of scientific testing requires all other variables to be constant or in check except the dependent variable... when there is a greater degree of variability upon said variables you increase your sample size to compensate...
