Thread: Ranger, BAR's or Tompsons?13 Dec 2018, 18:13 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2018, 17:36 PMVipper Bar is superior to M1A1 at all ranges. Between the Thompson and BAR, BAR becomes better above 20 range. It mostly comes down to play stay. I also have to point out that one can equip both Thompson and 1 bar. Thank you for the detailed breakdown, does the same go for the paratroopers? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ranger, BAR's or Tompsons?13 Dec 2018, 18:12 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2018, 17:41 PMTobis Rather have the thompson. Why even get rangers if you will bar them up like any other squad. Better to have one of the best squads in the game at close-mid range. I would say because the Rangers survive very well up close, but even better at mid range. So giving them bars will give you a really hard to kill really powerfull midrange unit that also performs wel at close range. The Thompsons specialize in close range and not much else. But i understand where you are comming from melting units at close range with shocks, ranger, etc, is super fun. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ranger, BAR's or Tompsons?13 Dec 2018, 17:25 PM I have been using the Rangers a lot lately with good effect and i have some questions about them. My question is, what is better? A Ranger squad with 3 BAR's or a ranger squad with Tompsons? Ignoring the ammo cost. Are the BAR's even a good upgrade over the Ranger 1m Carbines? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Feedback for Commander Revamppatch20 Oct 2018, 21:16 PM I have been playing the patch with some equally skilled friends so I thought I now give my thought and opinions on some of the changes in no particular order. USA Assault Engineers: I like that they are now a more survivable and powerful unit in combat but I think they come too early. When micro'd and spammed well they run okw infantry off the map. My suggestion is to let them become available on 1 or 2cp. Or after lieutenant or captain are build. UKF Royal Engineers:The snare is a welcome change to the UKF. It turns the RE with double piats into the best AT infantry in the game. The 1-2 punch of piat volley HEAT nade piat volley will wreck a panzer 4 with ease because it can't outrun the shells anymore. The only other regular infantry that can do this sort of thing is vet 1 rifle zooks but RE are better at it. UFK valentine: Great change, gives a good alternative to the armoured car that can hold its own against medium armor. Because of this we might see more bofors. SOV Commissar Squad: The buff abilities seems a bit micro intensive compared to the other officer units. Perhaps a area of effect buff for nearby units is a good idea. SOV: Shock Troopers: Good changes, as ppsh conscript connoisseur the shocks seems like a bad deal. They cost more manpower for slightly more fire power and survivability while being way less versatile and they gave enemies instant retreat syndrome so they would end up doing less damage then ppsh conscripts. OKW overwatch doctrine: I would like to see panzer fusiliers instead of Jaeger light infantry. They would fit the defensive reconnaissance theme better then Jaeger light infantry in my opinion. And last but not least there is only one commander with Panzer Fusiliers and would like to see/use them more often. OST Defensive Doctrine:The trench and concrete bunker building ability seem a bit double to me especially since they can also build normal ost bunkers. Since the concrete bunker is more instresting then the trench id say replace trench with something that neither osttruppen commanders have. My idea would be scopes. OST Infantry Doctrine: Stormtroopers seem like a bad match for this commander. I my opinion Assault grenadiers would fit the doctrine concept way better. They would also be good with in combination with the new halftrack. And last but not least there is only one commander with Assault grenadiers and would like to see/use them more often. OST Storm Troopers: I think this unit is a bit of a mess and lacks focus. I think it should be a smg ambush unit like the commandos. So 4 man squad with mp40's that can be upgraded to captured 4 ppsh (Shock Trooper stats) In: Lobby
Thread: BRITISH COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION30 Aug 2018, 22:26 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Aug 2018, 17:28 PMHoverBacon If we were getting Royal Armoured Regiment, I wanna see a Churchill Black Prince in there XD I'd love to see how Axis players like being on the receiving end of a super-heavy for once Also I'd like to see Discarding Sabot rounds as an ability for fireflies and comets as well to function like Heat shells in OKW elite armour. (The Black prince never saw combat I know, but considering we see Jagdtigers and Sturmtigers in every match when they were rarer than Unicorns, I reckon it's passable.) I made most of these with existing abilities and units in mind so that they could be made fast and with minimal effort. I dont like that OKW, USA and Brit have so little commander variaty while OST and SOV got a lot of commanders that are just rearanged a bit. Since this worked mostely for the original factions i pitched to do the same thing for the newer factions as well. Here is another one that i have thought of since. Royal Lend Lease Regiment M2 Flamethrower 0CP M21 Mortar halftrack 3CP (fixes britains mortar problem, for a fuel price) M5A1 Stuart 4CP (allows you to go bofors or have both AI and AT light verhicles early game) Air Resuply Operation 4CP Air Supremacy 12CP In: Lobby

Thread: OKW COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION26 Aug 2018, 15:42 PM Sturm Doctrine: Assault Package 0CP Sturm offizier 1CP Stuka Smoke Reconnaissance 2CP Valiant assault 6CP Sturm Tiger 11CP This doctrine is about breaking the enemy lines with brute force at close range. OstTruppen Reserves Doctrine: OstTruppen Squad (same as OST one) 0CP Thorough Salvage 0cp MG42 Machinegun Team (same as OST one) 0CP Jagdpanzer 38(t)/STuG 3 G 5CP (If it is impossible to recode the hetzer just give them a STuG) High Explosive Anti-Tank(Heat) Shells 7CP This doctrine is about using eastern front units to fill up gaps in your line and your build. The Osttruppen give you a cheap unit that you can sacrifice if you need to without a huge manpower hit like the other okw infantry. They also can be used late game a salvaging units if they get outclassed. The MG42 gives you a good MG that will allow you to control the flow of battle better during the early stages of the game. Jagdpanzer 38(t)/STuG 3 G gives you a more TD like alternative to pumas and luchs. The heat shells will inshure their late game usefulness In: Lobby

Also a KV1 to get them out again for if they managed to take the building by building stairs out of their dead Comrades. In: Lobby
