Thread: allow 7 man Conscripts PPSH41 or PTRS22 Sep 2019, 09:34 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2019, 09:31 AMSmartie Sorry, but Shocks on close maps are op or borderline imo. And I will never understand why shocks got a mid rage buff. Its alright that they murder axis units in close quarter situations but its ridiculous that they can even wipe retreating squads at midrange. If shocks murder retreating inf mid range you retreated to late. Shocks are ai specialist. You dont fight shocks with regular inf esp, you fight them with vehicles or long range ai specialist elite inf. In: COH2 Balance

You might not like what axis need to give for compensation. And no neither are OP. Good but not op. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50 cal - Why is it so good? 21 Sep 2019, 15:14 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2019, 15:06 PMblvckdream That still doesnt explain why USF gets the best MG in COH2 while also getting the best infantry. Ost is supposed to have strong teamweapons to compensate for Grens so I understand why the MG42 is amazing but the same cant be said about the USF unit roster with strong mainline infantry + strong call ins + plenty of LV + free squads. It is more expensive just as their main inf. Its locked in a specific tech path. Unlike the vickers mg42/34 wich are always available. Why bother with it if it a bad mg? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim improvement ideas.19 Sep 2019, 22:42 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2019, 20:56 PMblvckdream Improve suppression but increase pop cap, give it really slow build time and cost to 280 including higher reinforce time and cost. That way spamming it will be hard and it becomes a good support unit. After we are done with that we can take a look at Dhsk and make it more useful. Lets just increase its supression first without gutting it to compensate for being allowed to do its job. Where is the maxim spammed these days? I dont see it in my games, i dont use them very often if at all. I dont see it spammed in streamed games. There is no reason to increase its price or build time. They already did that patches ago, when the also nerfed suppression, traverse speed, vet abilitie wich got changed. Please stop with the maxim spam ptsd. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak40 death loop buff?19 Sep 2019, 05:30 AM This is getting silly real fast. The pak40 wich is absolutly fine is somehow a higher priority then the maxim? The only that changed for the pak40 is that you can skip t2 now. Because of pgrens and ostwind buffs. This is trolling on duracell batteries or some one with a terminal case of axis always always up.

If it can supress it wont be spammed anymore then mg34/42,s. Right now you need to spam it to get it to do its job. But its not worth spamming because how easy it is to wipe. Esp since volks got their change. And giving it more pop and upping the cost even more is a stupid idea based on some maxim spam nightmare. It already cost more then the mg42 to get. Eveything that made it op during its golden days has been gutted. Please stop living in the past. It already got: cost/mobility/setup time/build time/suppression/traverse nerfed since those days. All it got was a larger arc but stil smaller then most mg,s. And a meh vet ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is there so much crying over Maxim spam?18 Sep 2019, 17:38 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2019, 17:19 PMinsaneHoshi Of course lets ignore 4 men vs 6 men. Ib4 "but teh deathloop," deathloop is only an issue when the maxim is facing alot of DPS, which isnt an issue when there are 4 other maxims. The deathloop is an issue when naded next to lots of dps. Its the only mg that gets naded frontaly so often. I had 2 g43 fussies vet3 nicely next to eachother frontaly deathlooping it and wiping it. The maxim was setup when they entered vision and it started firing. Only one got supressed the other just killed the gunner, i tried to retreat it and gone was my maxim. No nades needed. Only in fantasy land does this happen to other mg,s in simaler situations. Because they can supress effectively. And when do you see 4 other maxims? You must live in the past. The fact that you need more then one just do its jobs is a clear indicator it is very up mg. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is there so much crying over Maxim spam?18 Sep 2019, 17:24 PM The fear of spamming maxims is just unfounded. Its mobility has been nerfed hard with removal of sprint. Its deploy time has been nerfed. Its supression has been nerfed. Its price has been nerfed. build time nerfed. And the deathloop remains and is conciderd unfixable. Wich completely counteract "its more durable then all other mg,s" To try to make it not suck. Its pick up time has been tweaked. Its supression has ben increased marginaly. Its from what i saw in the other past about 50% of the mg42/34. In my experience using the maxim that seem to be accurate. So how the hell would the op maxim return if we only increase its supression, while all the other factors that made it op remain gutted? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is there so much crying over Maxim spam?18 Sep 2019, 12:02 PM Just watched helping hans. Het got 3 mg42,s and prost truppen. He keept the mg 42s relocating. Credit to him. But he kept one on the left and had it alone over there sometimes. The sov player tried multyple times with 2 cons spread out to attack it. The mg42 breathed 2 short puffs of bullets at each squad and got supressed in no time multyple times. You need 2 maxims to do the same or risk loosing it all together. Using the mg42 agresivly is so much better then using a maxim in the same way. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim Overperforming17 Sep 2019, 22:45 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2019, 19:38 PMthedarkarmadillo Maxim has replaced infantry since its inception because at no point in the game have cons really beeen in a position that it was worth getting them and/over a maxim when you just paid 160mp to unlock the maxim But of an overhaul here but hear me out: Cons become passively cheaper once a building is built but t1 and 2 become a 20mp more expensive T1 makes cons a bit cheaper to reinforce to promote using them to supplement penals. Penals are in exchange made slightly more expensive per man T2 gives cons a cover bonus that gives a bonus against suppressed units so that they might be used in conjunction with the maxim as dps. Maxim can be adjusted to be less independent In my experience now the maxim is not independent. It needs more baby sitting then most mg,s. The cause is its lacking supression, direct and aoe. It allows frontal deathlooping way to often. I like the suggestion of cons have an aura for maxims. That increase it supression but that leaves the fact that you pay 260mp 240mp 160mp and 15fu just to have it supress reliably. It wound,t be cost effective what so ever. Right now i avoid the maxim when ever i can. It gets deathlooped a lot and feels like it tickels the target. Its mediocre at best for a premium price. I mostly go for duska doctrines. I get 1 usualy and 2 max. And they do the job but the cost is in line with its performance. Again the maxims mobilty was gutted. Just let it supress it cant come close to it golden days.
