Thread: T34/85s now suck11 Nov 2020, 23:59 PM the only thing id do to the T-34-85 is to give it to more commanders... i honestly think too few commanders have it... yeah soviet industry with the T-34-85 would be amazing... id also like a commander with the DSHK and the T-34-85 In: COH2 Gameplay

Your problem with using the T34 as a comparison is that you misjudge the strength of your reference point. do we have to explain again as to why the T-34-76 is a terrible unit? youve made some blatantly false arguments in the old thread... you cant perpetuate the same lies here aswell In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP11 Nov 2020, 23:52 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 11:05 AMOrangePest Hell id go so far as to say. One single t3485 or kv1 is worth two p4s in terms of sheer value and potenial. nice hyperbole... obviously wrong but nice try... if you dont see how 2 P4s which have more combat ability and field presence outclass 1 T-34-85 or 1 KV1 in almost every way other then repair time and cost then im simply aloof... but then you consider the MG42 UP... at this point i probably shouldnt be surprised Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 13:41 PMOrangePest Are pgrens OP, yes they arrive to early, but come lategame and thusly 7men so do pgrens too lose their relevance, they may not have an ostruppen level of useless come lategame but they will find that when trying to push 7men behind sandbags becomes a futile effort that will bleed you dry. you do know that pgrens actually arrive earlier than 7 man... its 85+15+25 fuel to 7 man while pgrens only take 5+40 to be unlocked assuming ost builds T1... not to mention SOV has to pay for an additional 20 fuel to unlock molotov/faust... something OST gets for free... stop spreading bullshit... its clear that you have some biases when you claimed the MG42 was the worst MG in the game but this one is even more objectively wrong than the last one...

Thread: Why Soviets are OP11 Nov 2020, 23:15 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 23:07 PMPip The veterancy bonuses both Volks and Cons get are assumed to be in action here, especially the Con ones, given that they get veterancy gain bonuses when upgraded. We're primarily talking about Lategame, after all. The specific bonuses a weapon upgrade gives are misleading when compared to what they do to the squad they're on. base vet 3 cons outclass vet 5 volks... vet 3 cons have lower target size and have greater DPS at range 20 and below... vet 5 volks will beat vet 3 cons only if they engage above range 25 and even at range 30 win soo slightly that its within the realm of RNG... soo its more of a tossup more than anything... thats not considering upgrades of course... with the upgrades 7 man will win every cover to cover engagement at all ranges and still have a massive chance of beating stg volks at almost any range even outside of cover however concerning vet 5 volks vs the vet bonuses of any other mainline... no... vet 5 volks get pretty okay veterancy bonuses... its just that conscript and grenadier veterancy bonuses outclass most veterancy bonuses that factions get... this is because grens and cons are outclassed earlygame...

Thread: IL-2 Anti Tank Rocket Run11 Nov 2020, 22:40 PM yeah but ram is kinda useless on its own without abilities like IL-2 rocket PTAB bomb or anti tank overwatch.... if you do nerf abilities that synchronize with ram the T-34-76 itself becomes rather useless... id prefer if the T-34-76 itself would recieve a rework instead of trying to change IL-2 or whatever those abilities are...

Thread: Why Soviets are OP11 Nov 2020, 22:37 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 20:18 PMPip 7man beating them isn't, by itself, too much to brag about, is it? Forgive me if this is a bit of an un-nuanced take. yeah it isnt... 7 man only gives a 17% DPS boost at all ranges a 17% HP boost and 15% cover bonus... STG for example gives a DPS boost of 16% at range 30 30% at range 20 and 39% at range... any engagement occuring at any range or below between 7 man and STG volks at vet 0 outside of cover will result into a volk win... 7 man conscripts only beat STG volks when fighting in cover vs cover at ranges 20 to 30... with a tossup at around 20 to 10... outside of that STG volks will win any cover to cover engagement under range 10... in any realistic comparison between mainlines 7 man isnt amazing on its own... its mostly comparable to bog standard mainline upgrades.... its only when you consider conscripts massive vet bonuses and the 20% veterancy rate does 7 man TRULY shine...

The best infantry in the entire game, with flares,sandbags to neuter any other mainline barring maybe 5 man grens who are equally retarded. This means once you pasa a certain threshold you enter a stage where your infantry may as weöl not exist. Volks bleed and even if they win fights the end up trading unequally. actually this has been argued before... 7 man only adds 17% dps at all ranges 17% HP and around 15-16% dps in cover... an LMG42 upgrade gives outright 36% DPS at range 20 and 61% at range 30... other upgrades like the SVT or the STG44 also provide massive DPS upgrades at a wide variety of ranges... STG for example gives a DPS boost of 16% at range 30 30% at range 20 and 39% at range 10... even SVT a DPS boost of 30% at range 30 28% at range 20 and 35% at range 10... really 7 man conscripts are strong only because of their significant vet 3 bonuses that normal conscripts already get and the 20% vet bonus makes it easier to get to vet 3.... also LMG obers kinda destroy 7 man cons when they are fully vet... Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 09:18 AMOrangePest Their upgrades are straight up inferior (svts for example across the board have better dps than stgs) STGs are nondoc... why compare a nondoc upgrade to a doctrinal upgrade? try comparing nondoc upgrades to each other or doc upgrades to each other... and even if you do compare them id say theyre roughly even STG for example gives a DPS boost of 16% at range 30 30% at range 20 and 39% at range 10... SVT a DPS boost of 30% at range 30 28% at range 20 and 35% at range 10... STG gives a bigger boost to range 20 and range 10 DPS than SVT does... SVT only gives a bigger boost at range 30... and dueling at range 30 really isnt the job of the STG... and yes 2x STGs give a 30% DPS boost to the volksgrenadier squad dps while 3x SVTs only give 28% DPS boost at range 20 to the conscript squad.. this means conscripts which normally lose at range 20 to volks will lose even harder when the engagement occurs below range 20... adjust accordingly... Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 09:18 AMOrangePest 3: the premium tanks. 85s are better than p4 in every single way, kv1s practically require panthers to cope, ans the fact that they deploy fleets of tanka with 5 shot hp qith the ability to self repair will inevitably lose you the lategame repair war. wait soo a doctrinal premium medium and heavy is OP.....despite being hard countered by a nondoc premium medium tank? Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 09:18 AMOrangePest Soviets are OP (But only in the mid-lategame) but they arent.... factions like the UKF and OST can basically do what SOV can without the massive earlygame disadvantage... and USF has the cancerous jackson pack howitzer and arguably the second best or the best non premium medium in the game...

Thread: IL-2 Anti Tank Rocket Run11 Nov 2020, 22:10 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2020, 20:00 PMPip If Ram didnt exist it would probably be fine... potentially even a little weak. The issue is that ram DOES exist, and if you can get one off (Not exactly a difficult feat) you can just delete pretty much any axis vehicle you like. There are a lot of rather annoying offmaps, but I do think this is the worst offender. to be fair... the T-34-76 is rather bad outside of ram... if ram were replaced with some other ability or nerfed the T-34-76 most definitely needs an overhaul...
