Thread: Reduce the cost of tier 49 Oct 2018, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2018, 17:33 PMblvckdream I agree with this. Maxims shouldnt get an outright buff though, that would just bring back Maxim spam. Instead they could be toned down to 5 crew members, higher pop, longer build built time but better suppression and/or arc. Right now Maxims just feel like literal trash compared to almost any other MG. Exception is the DSHK which is crying in a corner because no one wants to use it because it got overnerfed so hard. I know it sounds arrogant but when the Dshk changes were dicussed I wrote multiple posts about them getting overnerfed. Seems like I was completly right. Again, the issue with Lend Lease were not Dshk but tech-free Shermans. I agree but 5 man won’t do no good, since conscripts can merge, instead the suppression of maxim should stay as is but give conscript a rear echelon like volley fire ability for nominal amounts of munition, that by itself shouldnt suppress but designed to apply in conjunction with a maxim to create an mg34 level suppression. Not sure if that makes sense or how easily to do this, but it would fit the combined arms synergy design of soviets, and reward good play. That said i think soviets main problem with crutching cheese units is that conscripts arent good enough and fail to be either ostruppen or grenadiers but inherit worse of both, far too expensive for what they are without ppsh. Conscripts need serious changes, once they are in a good place it would be reasonable to nerf some cheesy soviet units Soviet mgs should not be overbuffed or they will become too much with 6 man.

Thread: Reduce the cost of tier 49 Oct 2018, 17:33 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Oct 2018, 22:55 PMKatitof If anything, soviets are the one allied faction that isn't underpowered and actually balanced against both axis faction as evidenced in CGS2. Calling them op at this point is only testament to your own ability. Soviets arent op, theyve been nerfed through last few patches consecutively, i dont see how they have suddenly become op. The elephant in the room is that wehrmacht is not ridiculously obnoxious with light vehicle meta and pumas and have truely insane pressure at every stage of game now, that the two other ally factions that dont get as complete a light vehicle counter kit simply have become unviable. Seriously i took a break for a few months come back and non wehr ladder on automatch has noticeably thinned out. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reduce the cost of tier 49 Oct 2018, 17:16 PM Soviet tanks are fine, if anything buff conscripts and maxims some how, because being forced into penal/guard gets boring af, its honestly lame af how soviet meta rn is early engineer to compensate for capping power How about buff conscripts into 200mp and merge their grenades and let them become ostruppen, or reduce their reinforcement by itself so they are less bleed. Seriously fixing cons, maxims, shocks (which is being buffed already), will drastically improve soviet choices that would nerfing stuff like t70 cheese not a bad idea In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Fortifications Docrtine8 Oct 2018, 04:38 AM I agree somewhat, i think while counterable this commander is extremely anti fun for other player. This is my favorite okw pick in all modes, but I pick it due to how common static weapon team spam play styles are among allies vsing okw so a fine line should be treat. I think the s-mines should be sturmpioneer and not volks, otherwise late game the bleed from volks spamming mines really strangles the other player, and don't say "get a sweeper", everyone has at least 3 volks if not 4 volks and also schu mines from sturm, 1-2 engineer sweepers simply cannot easily catch up to this amount of mine laying. I think bunkers also need adjustment, as they render the AA cannon quite obsolete in this doctrine, and being that okw is incredibly manpower efficient i find myself using the bunker much more liberally than i would as wehr. Add a nominal fuel cost like USF fighting position, or make it sturm build only. Otherwise on certain maps such as langreskaya and faymonville approach I will almost always build bunkers at some point I think the main problem with this fortifications, is that it gives a lot more efficiency to volks in terms of utility, which is worsened by manpower efficiency of okw, and their early game momentum. Instead the utility should just be extra options to sturmpioneer who are already quite busy, and a strategic trade off decision between attacking with sturm or laying mines and bunkers. On the flip side, I think most ally players complain about this commander because they play and full commit to a lot mg/at gun/arty cheese type strats that this commander is meant to hard counter. As such i think the lefh should come earlier in cp's, i think the price is already fine, and its quite a counterable weapon but earlier availability will compensate the other nerfs, and also dissuade other player from hard investing into statics early on rather than ending the game for the other player after he full invests. Saving a lot of games of heavy static play. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RIflemen, the most overrated unit in the game?8 Oct 2018, 04:08 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Oct 2018, 02:28 AMCODGUY Riflemen do get better if you can some how survive long enough to unlock the weapon rack and give them double bars. At the start of the game though they are an absolute joke. You literally have no effective combat units as USF for the first 5 minutes of the game. even with double bar they perform quite poorly on open maps such as langreskaya, minsk pocket etc for a unit thats 280 man power and 120 muni.

Thread: German infantry doctrine rework is so OP7 Oct 2018, 03:37 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Oct 2018, 22:22 PMButcher It isn't. Germans lack their originally intended tank advantage and have to face superior BARS, Brens and Penals so there is no reason they shouldn't get capable infantry. Mind you that this also forces the Wehr player into a doctrine and denies the MG42 upgrade for Grens. The PG utility isn't that much of a deal for a 340 mp unit that lacks the firepower to fight aforementioned allied infantry at range. Why should they have a massive tank advantage? Their tanks are top of the line whether its stug or pz4, they're hardly doing poorly in armor department. How about they lose their tier 0 mg advantage and lock mg42 behind t2? I mean they clearly won't have early infantry disadvantage now anyways. Wehrmacht is so complete right now with strong mg play into light vehicles into mediums its just not funny, weak core infantry right now is the only "justification" for this. This is one of the main reason players are playing soviets now despite soviets being nerfed in recent patches not buffed, because in the light vehicle meta only t70 crutching combined with ptrs can even put up a real play against that shit. Now without puma, this would be atleast some what bearable considering wehr infantry fragility (even that is extremely overrated)but now it won't be a problem either The 5 man grenadier isn't about the dps, it means they have more staying power to offer utility and support other wehr weapons, where as you would have had to retreat your other units once ur grenadiers got low on the past. This is why ostruppens are so viable, wehr uses core infantry to support other units instead of other units supporting wehr. Despite this, it would have been okay if 5man grenadier was all it was, but to give panzergrenadiers a shit ton of RA buffs, utility and mark target on top of more grenadier staying power? As a guy who plays every faction except soviets near equally throughout patches, I find this myth of wehr being some high skill cap thus not op non sense such a joke at this point, wehr is the only faction with a complete kit baseline, and doctrinal crutches in flavors of the players choosing.

Thread: Soviet unit roster needs fixing 4 Oct 2018, 06:54 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2018, 03:11 AMCresc Soviet have been a fun faction to play with, but they get nerfed beyond relief in every patch because too much crybabies in this game. They have never been a balanced faction either, thorough the whole game changes soviets have always been a cheese faction full of frustrating strats to get through. They need a serious revamp. This they've been reliant on cheese strats rather than good balancing for as long as i can remember maxim spam penal flamer penal lendlease into sherman guard sniper blob dual t70 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RIflemen, the most overrated unit in the game?4 Oct 2018, 05:45 AM I think riflemen are reasonably balanced, so on some maps open maps that makes them quite poor when lmg42, obers, and mgs are very effective In: US Forces Strategies
