Thread: Why Soviets are OP15 Nov 2020, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2020, 10:17 AMWiderstreit One way to go would be, to remove 6men crews on loot weapons, so soviets only get benefit on their own stuff. 6men HMG42, Vickers, PaK40 etc. is simply too much. way to nerf the weakest faction in the game... can we instead focus on trying to buff SOV and OKW instead of trying to make them unplayable?

It (and other armour) however would benifit from a much higher close pen so they are not useless against stronger tanks. Harder to use and generate risk, but not useless Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 16:41 PMlovendead I am agree that t34 is not that bad. With that commander i always find them build 2 t34 to bully infantry or it can be use to execute the combo. t34 presence is already a threat while i dont think the T-34-76 is hot shit like the maxim i do think the unit is simply not worth it at the moment... it pays quite alot of AT performance while having equivalent AI to a panzer 4 with pintle... if i really wanted to put pain into infantry id just use the T-70 (or even a luchs for that matter)... no reason to use the T-34-76 outside of ram.... its essentially a beefier light tank with less DPS against infantry...

Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)14 Nov 2020, 23:25 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 15:48 PMthedarkarmadillo Cons ARE cheaper than volks now so the match up is a bit better and cons are the only unit plagued with side grades that inflate their price, but thats exactly the issue... they arent cheaper than volks because they have to pay such a huge price in order to match the utility of volks... if you dont youre playing at a huge disadvantage... Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 15:48 PMthedarkarmadillo the rest of the soviet generally pays for utility with slightly inferior stats rather than extra costs. thats only worth it for the zis and (arguably) the soviet mortar... other units like the T-34-76 pay a huge price in terms of performance in order to gain ram for ram IL-2 combos... the SU-76 is a half arsed TD thats like a zis on wheels but worse... the m5 has been powercreeped by the 251 and doesnt provide healing... and so on... plus the soviet roster also has the maxim.... probably the most useless core unit ingame... Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 15:48 PMthedarkarmadillo The power of versatility, even with extra cost is the flexibility it offers to react. This alone makes soviet very powerful and imo far from UP. some aspects are imo not up to snuff and id like to see the T70 weakened and the surrounding time frame buffed a bit so the entire mid game isn't reliant on it but for the most part the soviet are pretty great tbh overreliance on a crutch unit kinda makes a faction bad though...

Thread: IL-2 Anti Tank Rocket Run14 Nov 2020, 03:35 AM the T-34-76 is shitty without ram though... its the only half decent use for the unit soo removing it isnt a good idea unless its replaced with something else OR if the T-34-76 got buffed.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)14 Nov 2020, 03:25 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 02:25 AMthedarkarmadillo I don't believe the soviet are UP. the opposite actually, as they are extremely flexibile and have an ability for everything Id even argue, despite how my previous post read that in the current soviet faction the 7 man hoops are acceptable. I believe that bolster for brits however is both one of the best things the brits have and also one of the worst for balance. the main problem with sov is that their utility and versatility is locked through unecessarily high costs... take conscripts they have comparable combat ability to volks or grens but you need to buy molotov and AT nades separately... in contrast rifles and IS smash grens and volks outright in terms of combat ability hence dont need nades and whatnot to come for free...

Thread: Why Brits aren't op (and their design isn't bad)14 Nov 2020, 00:47 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2020, 00:13 AMthedarkarmadillo WELLLLLL soviet COULD pay like double that, to get in on 1 squad, which they then have to ALSO spend munitions to get AND it locks out their only weapon slot... iirc upgrading to additional models to all other factions that can has more drawbacks than just cost, like locking out other options cost alone does not justify a brokenly stupid mechanic/stats. KT is expensive as hell and it was nerfed to hell. whats more im unmovable that tommies are stupidly designed because of bolster. they will either be UP as 4 man and good as 5 or good as 4 and OP at 5 becuse bolster isnt an "if" but a "when" and "when" bolster is bought the powerspike is incredible and without drawback i think thats more of soviet being UP more than anything In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP13 Nov 2020, 02:19 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Nov 2020, 01:08 AMPip Rifles get a combined 38% RA boost, Volks get 24%, this is on top of rifles having a better target size than Volks by default. They also have the potential of double BARs (Even a single one is better than STGs, to my knowledge) its a 23% reduction for volks and a 35% reduction for rifles... but afaik volks also get healing in vet4 and a sight bonus at vet 5... or was that changed?

Thread: Osttruppen12 Nov 2020, 22:45 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2020, 20:29 PMAerohank Building maxims against Ostruppen is good way to lose 1v1s. building maxims at all is a good way to lose a game... anyone half decent can counter the maxim with little effort since its the only mg that takes FOUR seconds to suppress...

Thread: T34/85s now suck12 Nov 2020, 22:38 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2020, 18:51 PMCrecer13 Against Pz.4 it is good and ZiS-3 but its does not cost 130 fuel. And to spend 130 fuel for a Pz.4 hunter whose main cannon only scratches the infantry (machine guns do more damage than a gun) oh no buddy, I don't see any benefit here. The T-34-85 is a slightly less useless T-34-76. If the T-34-76 is useful as a kamikaze unit. That T-34-85 at least can kill Pz.4. 1st veterancy and the absence of any real abilities further aggravates their situation. while i agree the T-34-76 is a really bad unit outside of ram kamikaze i do think the T-34-85 is the best medium tank in the game 1. it has more hp than all other mediums soo it can reliably tank an extra shot which would kill any other medium... this scales even more with veterancy as it means the tank is much more difficult to kill and subsequently easier to accumulate veterancy without attrition... the tank also gets some massive veterancy bonuses which helps scale its performance even further... 2. it has massive DPS with veterancy... its ROF with veterancy is almost doubled... other tanks get like 30%-40% boost... 3. it has the highest penetration of the mediums soo it can reliably dish out such damage In: COH2 Gameplay
