A lot depends of the backup they have.
What's going to support these elites better?
Cons or BAR rifles?
BARs definitely |
I think you've put one zero too many there.
There is no such thing as "top 2000". That's utter scrub rank. 
I couldn't write it in another way. I'm rank 3000 in 2v2 and i always expect Axis to spam MGs and OKW to go Heavy Fortifications. I'm not complaining about it, i just bet that things get better in rank 2000 |
You can't/ shouldn't get 2-3 Shooks because they will bleed your manpower.
1 is already a heavy manpower investment, short and long time.
I use Shooks and they are not worth the investment, high risk low reward (but i like them  ), they definitely need a buff.
Same goes with Rangers and Paratroopers, but still, some people manage to field 2-3 squads for flanking or tank mgs |
|
Wait till 2-3 of them rush your units. Shock troops are the Russian equivalent to "omae wa mu shindeiru". |
|
If you are in top 2000, then you're fine. There are worse things than Volks blobs, eg. Bunker / MG spams from both Axis factions. I would prefer the blobs since i use Rangers to shred them into pieces than having bunkers spammed across the map. |

As the beautiful and badass engineers from CoH1 say, “If a mouse farts in this goddamn minefield, I want his ass blown sky high!”. Do the following and your Jacksons will have a chance to survive.
1. Mines
2. Mines
3. Mines
4. Mines
5. Mines
6. Mines
PS : I forgot to mention one more thing... Mines
Oh, and of course... Mines. |
Personally I'd say slightly reduced scatter would be preferable to RoF. Consistency helps a unit more whereas RoF makes it harder for your opponent to respond which makes the unit feel OP and/or Cheesey because if you don't respond instantly you can lose units fast. I think it's scatter currently is large enough that a slight reduction wouldn't be terrible - though admittedly I haven't used it a ton recently.
That would work, because Calliope is pretty strong. You just have to use her in the right way. |
I think reducing the fuel a bit would be acceptable seeing as how it's basically a durable and more mobile land mattress now. I agree with Stark that buffing the rocket stats would be a bad bad idea.
What about slightly recuding scatter or improving the rate of fire? And just reduce fuel price by 10 (130 fuel) |
then dont play 4v4s. I cant really wrap my mind around 4v4 players complaining about balance.
That wasn't a complain. I just made a scenario. |
|
Actually Calliope is just fine. It might not have the same rate of fire as the Calliope in CoH1, but it's ok for laying down some waste prior to an attack. |
