Thread: Soviet tanks are garbage7 Oct 2019, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2019, 16:59 PMAcidfreak kv8 is 145 fuel. should be equal flame performance then. Kv can swith to 45 mm gun. Has a lot more hp and armour. I believe it gets the damage reduction to 0.8 as well. Has heavy crush. Id say the kv 8 is fine as is. Defenitly no buff needed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallschirmjäger is very OP!7 Oct 2019, 13:42 PM Loosing the faust is not enough imo. Their dps is already pretty high to be having a bonus to dps coming out of cover. I had hp and models evaporate in mere seconds from long range because every tiny bit of cover increases their already more then decent dps. Sending 1 squad retreating in the opening seconds of the engagement the next not much later. That was just from 2 falls from what i could see. If they dont loose the faust and or cover bonus their cp and price need a look. In: COH2 Balance

What will help you is your opponent making a mistake. Thats just l2p. A quiters attitude. Lots of people get cocky and over confident and make more mistakes when there ahead. In: COH2 Balance

Just weird to hear about OP grenadiers from a faction that has penals/guards/shocktroops. Uses sniper to shoot at 4 men squads. Has 170manpower engineers etc. Just incredible. I'm not even going to mention other stuff like soviet tanks/katusha/arty. etc. And they keep repeating that ost has best support weapons. Incredible, just incredible. Dude learn to read. where do i say grens to good? I just stated they dont suck and dont use them as rifles cons volks or penals. Ooh soviets have other inf in doctrines and 1 other non doc. What a shocker. Some more shockers for ya. The sov sniper has lower rof vs those 4 men then the ost sniper vs 6 men. The combat engies are so cheap because they are the least usefull engies compared to every other engineer. Ost has tanks halftracks as well....... Seriously get out of that victim bubble, its sad really sad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..5 Oct 2019, 17:53 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2019, 16:08 PMFreestyler1992 You make it sound like playing soviets is an auto lose. Are you playing the same game? Soviets are very strong right now and 7 men cons are very strong. There is a reason many people favor playing soviets over Ostheer, it is because it is still a faction that allows you to make a million mistakes and come back. Ostheer is basically a one mistake is insta lose kind of faction. A lot more fun and frustrating at the same time too. Where do i say sov up? Where do i say sov suck as a faction? I jyst compared pro,s and cons for grens and cons . Contrary to popular believe grens dont suck. They require support cuz they where designed to. They have doctrines and best overall support units to cover for weaknesses or expand on strengths. For cons its just the doctrines. As for soviets making miljons of mistakes and coming back..... going a t2 opening esp vs okw esp is one they dont recover from mostly. I do play ost as well though not as much as sov but making a come back as ost is not as hard as you claim. You have a buffed ostwind a buffed halftrack and buffed pgrens. This is just another ost forever up claim. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..5 Oct 2019, 14:15 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2019, 12:07 PMachpawel Most of what you wrote is just difficult to comment because it suggests you should play ostheer in the next 10-20 games, but when I have some time I'll explain why it is difficult to agree with many things you wrote. Generally you must realise that OKW is much stronger than ostheer and some of your impressions are based on OKW's strengths (like volks being pretty potent all around squad with a snare). The problem from the topic is about cons vs grens balance. IMO conscripts are better at at duties because of their hoorah ability. Grens just don't have that and they have trouble fausting and chasing - sth conscripts can do. Cons are build from tier 0 and grens need a structure - so you don't tech to build cons but you tech to give them extras; you tech to build grens but you don't tech to give them panzerfaust. Cons are 6 or 7 men while grens are 4 so it is easier to wipe grens with vehicles they snare. Cons also build sandbags, grens don't. It is easier to sniper gren than cons. Hoorah can chase and even allow you to kill snipers or run away from them plus higher number of models makes it safer. Cons can be also used to merge, which is verypowerful ability. Coming back to snares there are many more ways in which cons can cooperate with other AT squads. Cons hoorah and snare, penals stchel and fonish off. a Cons are a good snare unit i agree 100% on that. But at nade cant be used on buildings, cons lack any sort of decent nade, ptrs,s scale a lot worse then shrecks. The at satchal has an extreme short range, to short for it to be a viable alt to the cons at nade, Tm35 mines dont one shot all lights. Zis and both su,s dont have a snare on them after vet. Grens do not need to cooperate with other units to finish things off as much as cons do. Ost as a faction does that better then sov. Grens dont build sandbags but build bunkers. Wich in turn can grant you healing reinforcing and a popcap free static mg. Its not free like the sandbag but you do get more out of it. Merge is indeed powerfull esp at end tech with 7th man. No argument here. The thing is about the cons gren balance is that grens need the support and cons are the support. Imo grens dont suck, volks penals sections and rifles all are to good right now.

Thread: Penals idea5 Oct 2019, 12:34 PM I think a shreck non doc on six man squads with to the last man would be broken to honest. Current ptrs penals still help su 76/85 and the zis a bunch. They can detter any vehicle from puhing in if they flanked an su85 or zis. They might not be as viable as shrecked pgrens but not a waste imo. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vetted 7 man conscripts vs vetted lmg grens..5 Oct 2019, 09:22 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2019, 08:16 AMMaret Penals AT satchels good, but you must sacrifice 2 mens on it and lose almost 30% of squad AI power. Also penals don't have sprint and AT-satchel need usage or: sightblockers or very bad play from axis player. Guards have "free" AT, but it good only against light armor, you can't fight with PTRS rifles against ostwind or P4. OST have various docs with panzer smoke that completely turn off AT satchels and guards slow down ability. Only USF have crew repairs, not all allies. SU have in docs. Each faction have different design - OST don't have light tanks, but have weapon upgrades without need to pay for sidetech. OST have one of the best mg in game in T0 with AP bullets in vet1. You even could upgrade pgrens with shrecks and got very powerfyll AT squad (if you use doc with OST clowncar, you even could play "ost shreck mini-bus"). OST have stun abilities in stug and in pak40, that as AT much better than UKF and SU ATG. Only USF ATG could be better. And teller mines that instakill any light vehicle. You still think that OST have worse AT abilities than allies? Against light vehicles on early-mid game you have much than enough AT abilities. They only focus on percieved weaknesses and forgot why they are there. Like that shrecks scale way better then zooks or ptrs, who are far less effective vs heaviest armour. But that comes with high cost and fraglitie to keep it from being op. Same with teller one shotting all lights and going insane about the demo and getting it nerfed out of the game. For allies its lower cost less impact but on less fragile squads and in usf and ukf case they can be on multyple squads. Its axis (esp ost) always up no matter what with some people. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I know why MG42 is underperforming much5 Oct 2019, 08:22 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2019, 05:21 AMmrgame2 no it is not. Old mindset needs to die or stop conveniently waving off things you are uncomfortable with. That goes for every one on this thread. We cant ignore the mg 42 is t0, its rof is very high, its single and blob supression is good, its arc is really big, its ap ammo is really good. Its price is normal and does not require tech, its setup and packup time is normal, its hp/model count is standard, it does not suffer from a deathloop. Pio,s bonus sight is excelent support and allow it to basicly selfspot without exposing the pio,s to danger. This is what people seem to ingore or forget and only focus on the few negatives the mg 42 has to keep it balanced. These are imo the reloading and traverse time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grens UP & G43s suck4 Oct 2019, 17:53 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2019, 17:17 PMT.R. Stormjäger Conscripts defensive infantry with Sprint, flame nade and doctrinal assault package. Also yeah sure let the 300mp engineer unit make all the sandbags and repair all the vehicles and build all the mines and protect Volks from rifles closing in. Great game design, I guess I’ll spend another 300mp on an engineer unit while USF can have rifles build sandbags and split minelaying between rifles and M20. Any other crippling OKW nerfs you wanna propose? I’m sure if okw keeps getting nerfed it won't be broken. I never said cons are degensive inf. Cons only become anything other then support after pooring in recources or commiting to doctrines. Cons are pretty shitty at holding anything with their short range orientationand no non doc ai weapon upgrade. Those sandbags help them there until 7th man then it becomes powerful. Volks have better support same faust and flame nade require no doctrine because they can hold ground and take it. Nor do they require massive investments. And still are on par with 7tm man cons mostly. Now how do rifles have sandbags again? Ow yeah doctrines........ In: COH2 Balance
