Thread: So when do Riflemen get an upgrade to six men?19 Jun 2019, 18:57 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2019, 18:09 PMStug life rifle still win vs volks at long range as i show above Every comparison I've done has been 50/50 at long range, with Rifles winning very strong up close though. Considering the price difference, it makes sense to me that Rifles would have the edge over Volks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Echelon Grenades18 Jun 2019, 18:37 PM It's way too early to advocate removing things, give it at least a few weeks for people to use it. The few games I've intentionally tried to use the RE grenades I can never afford enough muni to get more than 2, and 2 is hardly game changing. At most it means I have a counter to a HMG in a building that isn't a mortar. Though again, removing it means the USF commander was just a wasted opportunity. I'm also confused by people saying it has pin-point accuracy -- it definitely doesn't, especially with any form of suppression. Unless the person is ground-targeting with it, in which case they are microing as much or more than the person "dodging" it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Echelon Grenades18 Jun 2019, 17:21 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2019, 08:43 AMAarotron Rifle grenades are not induvidually so bad but when massed they are borderline broken. I was playing a match last day, and my opponent had gone for 6-7 rear echelon, all equipped with rifle grenades. I tried mgs to counter them, but the wave of grenade they fired just absolutely wiped every mg team i attempted to use. of course lategame blob counters work, but early on they are really annoying. I'm sure you're not wrong, but that's 360-420 munitions worth of upgrades. The rifle nades are 60 each... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So when do Riflemen get an upgrade to six men?18 Jun 2019, 16:32 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2019, 06:04 AMKiwiBirb Did you have the Rifles walk from far to close range, or did you start them close? Just curious, and I think rifles are pretty good, especially late game! In all cases I spawned them and faced them so that they were already looking at each other, to avoid any "model has to turn around, taking a few extra shots". Walking is a weird one too, since you may potentially expose 1 model to concentrated fire depending on the squad's formation, so they were all already in sight of each other before I switched one of the squads to 'enemy' and had them shoot it out. I imagine in any fight the approaching squad is always at a disadvantage, cover or no cover, if only because of the moving accuracy penalty and the free few shots the defending squad gets on whichever first two models get past the threshold of max range for the defenders.

Thanks completely didn't realise No worries, it's cost me a few moments of "almost got the HMG out" only to watch my REs run right into it. Cue the curb your enthusiasm music. In: Lobby
Thread: New Commander Update Patch June 14th18 Jun 2019, 03:00 AM After intentionally playing with the rocket strafe more, I am liking it. Though I think the UI is partially to blame with why people dislike it. You really have to use it kind like the ST where you aim the start at the end of the tank, so I don't blame anyone for aiming "on" the tank and only seeing 1 rocket land. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Echelon Grenades17 Jun 2019, 21:18 PM Yeah, I believe it's what causes the "my REs just run up instead of shooting" issue some are reporting as a bug. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Echelon Grenades17 Jun 2019, 19:19 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2019, 18:48 PMLago Replacing it with flamers would be a buff to the commander in my opinion. The grenades aren't powerful, they're just really annoying. It's a little like present day MG spam: it relies on overheating micro, and when it fails at that it gets crunched. I know, I am mostly underwhelmed with them as well (and they're quite pricey to upgrade for how non-powerful it is). But my point stands -- it's pretty much the main toy in this commander other than cover-to-cover. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bug Report for Commander patch17 Jun 2019, 17:34 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jun 2019, 07:00 AMachpawel Cover to cover smoke animation - after I select the ability the whole screen gets transparent green and when I drop smoke the animation of smoke appears and everything gets back to normal This isn't a bug, that's the Area of Effect circle for the smoke -- it's huge because the green circle shows what area infantry are affected for the sprint effect. It's the same circle that a smoke round for USF has, just enlarged. In: Lobby
