Let’s see: If you get an AT gun, its rate of fire is abhorrent and you likely won’t get the killing blow on the light vehicle. ZIS gun a weakness? Wow, most players would like to get a pak with super strong barrage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: wehrmacht buff opinions14 Dec 2019, 09:39 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2019, 07:09 AMkafrion maybe its because I am currently playing brits but I don't think ost needs a buff perhaps soviets and OKW need some nerfs ? OKW certainly dont need any more nerfs (ok, Fallls should lose faust) because the faction was nerfed hard enough in the last years while Soviets never got the same treatment like the other factions. If some soviet units would be toned down than wehr doesnt need major buffs although t4 certainly needs some love. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: wehrmacht buff opinions13 Dec 2019, 20:21 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2019, 19:39 PMButcher Ost simply needs its intended design. Premium lategame. That means T4 buffs. Panzerwerfer performs strange.[...]Hard to explain. Anyhow, the Werfer can't push that away while any other artillery can. If possible the vet 1 could be replaced with a "spread out" barrage, somewhat Katjusha style. +1 In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: State of the Soviets5 Dec 2019, 10:36 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Dec 2019, 06:32 AMAerohank Unlike with Ostheer, Soviets only have few doctrines with heavy tanks. So if these lategame units are too strong, nerfs should be aimed at them, not the main roster of the faction Agreed and Im happy that someone mentions the commanders that indludes the IS-2: I could certainly live better with a strong soviet heavy if the unit would be in a good doctrine with some weaknesses.Heavy Cav with Pershing is certainly strong but USF players dont have a strong offmap arty/ air attack. Same for Wehrmacht's strategic reserves or Lightning war. Soviets in comparsion have 2 commanders with strong offmap abilities AND the IS-2(and elite infantry in Shock Rifle Frontline). Armored Assault and Shock Rifle Frontline were "OK" in terms of balance as long as the IS-2 was not so dominant. Thats why i would like to see some nerfs for the IS-2 (armor, cost). Buffs for axis units would not be needed then imo. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of the Soviets5 Dec 2019, 04:25 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2019, 22:59 PMblvckdream The reason why Soviets are slightly too good is the late game dominance. Agreed on this, +1 What i would like to discuss is the question why factions who designed to dominate early and midgame can get heavies at the same time like late game factions? Its the ultimate snowball: Dominate first 15, get map control, have the ressources to get your heavey tank. usf and soviet heavies should come later than axis and brit heavies. Thats only fair and mirrors the faction design. In: COH2 Balance

Regular Tiger is much better. +1 TA comes later than the IS-2 but costs way more fuel although the impact is basically the same. And Allies can counter Tiger/TA better than Axis can counter the IS-2. slight cost decrease for TA is needed: 720 MP, 240 fuel, 10 CP IS-2: CP increase to 11 CP, small cost increase (because Soviets should not get heavies at the same time like factions who are supposed to dominate the late game) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of the Soviets4 Dec 2019, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2019, 18:57 PMFarlion And then, of course, there is the IS2. Unlike Allied tank destroyers, which have enough range and penetration to reliably deal with Tigers (And King Tigers), Axis tank destroyers (StuG and JP4) don't have enough penetration to reliably deal with the IS2. The result is that you're almost forced to go Tiger, because the Panther can barely hold off the IS2, and is definitely outclassed when the IS2 hits vet 2. The other issue is that 7 man cons are not just potent main line infantry, but also incredibly difficult to kill, while barely bleeding MP due to the reinforcement costs. Which begs the question, how to fix the Soviets? To be clear: This is about 1v1 and 2v2. +1 and thx for the good post. I could live with the stronger conscripts but the IS-2 is a real problem imo. The problem starts with the fact that the unit turns the SU faction in a strong late game faction although this phase of the game should be the faction's weakness. The IS-2 is not only super strong, soviet players can also back it up with self spotting tds. That being said i also want to point out a fact that did not get much attention: Factions who are designed to be superior in early and midgame should NOT get their heavies at the same time like axis factions or brits. My suggestion: IS-2: CP increase to 11 CP, small cost increase like Blancat suggested In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stats from the WCS 20192 Dec 2019, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2019, 20:46 PMT.R. Stormjäger Nerf the heavy tank meta and soviets will be less oppressive. That would also hurt Wehrmacht hard because the faction has so many Tiger commanders. T70 nerf is needed. ALL light vehicles were tuned down but the t70 is as lethal as ever. But i really dont need to post more stuff here because of Farlion's great post which i support 100%. In: Lobby
