Thread: OKW is too oppressive towards other factions...4 Sep 2019, 11:32 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2019, 08:09 AMButcher OKW too opressive? Really? I have made the experience that OKW can't counter Maxim (or .50 cal) spam at all. The LeIG is to slow to react. Barrage? Reposition the Maxim. Smoke? Reposition the Maxim. And the only other option OKW has is infantry, which will get countered by a second Maxim. The lack of Flamethrowers and Snipers seriously hurts the ability of OKW. If you cant counter a maxim as okw... l2p... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion2 Sep 2019, 10:03 AM The fear of t3 mobilize reserves is nonsensical considering how unviable sov T2 + conscripts are as an opening build... Even t1 with cons isnt the best t1 starter In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion1 Sep 2019, 18:07 PM I mean theyre still worse than literally every other mg... that just addresses the main cause of wipes but not the inherent problems of the maxim I mean they could reduce its setup time further reduce its suppression and give it say x1.5 vickers dps... that ways it becomes an assault mg as it was intended to be...

Thread: Obers arriving earlier1 Sep 2019, 17:59 PM You already have the most cost efficient and bleed efficient mainline and now youre asking for earlier elite infantry?? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion1 Sep 2019, 17:58 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 17:54 PMVipper Lowering the range of flame grenade or moving to SP. Imo that can fix allot of issues with maxims. Removing the ST44 upgrade from VG or replacing it with MP40 can also help conscripts allot. Better designing T1 can also help allot, changes could include: lowering price for Penal replacing their weapon and giving them SVTs as weapon upgrade, removing PTRS upgrade and introducing a AT squad with PTRS if there actually a need for it. The first issue still means the maxim would be bad... and would have plenty of caveats Penal changes would be neat at balancing things out but the maxim would still remain THE worst mg ingame In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion1 Sep 2019, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 14:25 PMVipper Lowering the price of T2 will not make people go for T2 builts. It will simply allow them to back tech making T1 even more attractive. They will still have easy access to PTRS to deal with light and now easier access to ATG if the enemy rushes mediums tanks. T1 is currently superior offering too much for a small cost. It is as simply as that. The balance team is afraid of buffing the maxim... but is also unwilling to make cons stronger to compensate... having 1 bad starting unit and 1 unit that takes ages to reach parity vs upgraded infantry is simply not gonna work... how do you propose to make T2 viable? Imo the maxim should be reworked to a proper assault machinegun with low suppression and setup with high dps In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the panther fine?1 Sep 2019, 17:42 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 16:07 PMClarity Yeah, I think the Panther is fine in it's current state but Allied Tank Destroyers are probably slightly over-performing relative to their cost (SU-85 and Jackson). If they aren't going to significantly increase the cost of these I would say they should look to reduce the Panther back down to 175 and I think the Comet could also see the same price reduction since I think Churchill's are still slightly over-performing at the moment due to being spammable and cost efficient against Panthers usually allowing you to outnumber them. I was fine with the cost reduction for the Firefly but I don't feel like tulip cost needed to be reduced significantly. The jackson prolly needs to be 155 fuel... but the su-85 is costs just right at 130 considering how its quite slow and helpless when getting flanked In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion1 Sep 2019, 12:33 PM vipper please stop measuring the viability of a faction only through a single crutch build (or through doctrines)... your arguments make no sense at all In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion1 Sep 2019, 12:29 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:52 AMVipper lmg grenblobs not viable stg volkblobs nerfed this patch tommybrenblobs nerfed this patch rifle barblobs bacuse they are USF LMG grenblobs arent viable when shot with HE* and are getting a serious buff this patch stg volksblobs got a 10mp starting cost nerf... while conscripts had a 125mp 25 fuel starting cost nerf to their viability tommy brenblobs kinda deserved it.. though are still deadly in cover rifle barblobs well... USF Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:52 AMVipper Because soviet have many other option like Penal again T1 only... leaving T2 in the dust Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:52 AMVipper and doctrinal irrelevant Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:52 AMVipper and they do not need conscripts blobs on top of all the other options. right because penal spam must be the only viable technique outside of doctrines... guards/ppsh/SVT... the other viable soviet builds are all doctrinal... but hey T2 being completely useless as an opening build is fine because penals are soo good >.> Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:52 AMVipper Because the Soviet faction regardless of your claims does not seem to be UP the faction isnt UP if taken from a T1 perspective... but fails horribly at T2 oriented plays... have you ever seen a stock conscript + T2 build work in the tournament? they mostly FAIL... or perform horribly...

Thread: Soviet September patch discussion1 Sep 2019, 11:47 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:38 AMVipper Actually making conscripts viable by investing heavily on them is a step in the right direction. Conscripts blobs being effective has been tested and proved to be of poor game play. then why are lmg grenblobs stg volkblobs tommybrenblobs and rifle barblobs viable while conscripts still require insane amount of investment just to get a similar upgrade? Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2019, 11:38 AMVipper Conscripts tactics already got buffed with lowering ppsh to CP2 and indirectly with the nerf to OKW. doctrines are irrelevant to viability... viability is gauged through the core faction not through doctrinal memes also mobilize reserves still comes significantly later than PPSH STGs bars LMG42s brens SVTs... hell the only unit that comes after mobilize reserves are obersoldaten... why is mobilize reserves somehow treated as some super ability that needs lots of resources to be sunk in it? its not anymore powerful than a bar an stg or an SVT ...
