Thread: KV1 and Churchill can take too much damage2 Jun 2019, 18:11 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Jun 2019, 16:53 PMmrgame2 Dont forgot Allies have good arty. Hell Brit base arty is another low scatter accurate ones. I think same with Major Arty. And next patch, Calliope is even to arty Wehr out. Yes Wehr design a bit broken now. Even their weapon teams are no longer the best to cover. Usf mortar is more accurate and reload faster for example. Late game Wehr armor do not scale well to defeat those TD and high HP tanks like Churchill. I being asking for at least a HE round at vet1 to Panther and P4. And add smoke to flame HT. It is crazy how USF clown car has faster speed and still have smoke and self repair, very durable. Little things that Wehr have trouble dealing with. People should not have complained about smoke on rifles and had them removed. Though no one asked for the usf mortar, the prior change sparked usf using it. The same with flamethrowers on penals, although they exploded more then other flamethrowers they still were deemed to powerful. And look at penals now. Demo charge nerfed to near extiction. So whas twp. Volks with shrecks rightly nerfed, but look at them now. Sturms and obers mostly underused now. As for axis late game not scaling against td,s and high hp tanks. Well thats because the kt is non doc and was overused, deleting tanks and inf alike while bouncing off nearly every shot, exposing how ill equiped allies where to deal with it. Hence td buffs and regular armour also paying the price. Be careful what you wish for. Besides tanking damage kv1 churchill etc have no real use. No one used them. They are not fast, there guns are terrible for heavy tanks. They are doctrinal or lock out other tanks. The flametrack absolutely wrecks infantry and can easely chase them or run away from danger. Absolutly no need for smoke on that beast. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: LMG Grens Moving Fire1 Jun 2019, 07:05 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2019, 06:18 AMBrick Top Huh? Thats wrong, OSt tanks are the most defensive out of all factions. They are not good at offense unlike T34s, shermans etc. You still need to play with combined arms, with the tanks giving a lot of added punch. Ap p4 has higher rof pen and also has bigger aoe then the t34. It can take more punishment then a t34, even more when vetted. It has a vet ability to emphezise a fast agressive manouvering tank. Yes the t34 sucks at defense but is no star at offense. Its only merit is that its relativly cheap to produce. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Some change for Consript1 Jun 2019, 06:43 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2019, 03:08 AMdistrofio just remove volks sbags and that will be enough and some starting MP. Since cons are better at swarming than volks (more per squad, better sbags, more utility, doc upgrades), by just making volks less useful, they both will become equal in game. I think a price decrease for cons squad is still a good idea. (Maybe make their cost scale up with each squad present, to punish mindless blobbing) Indeed removing the sandbags is a good idea. Along with selfheal at vet3. Or make volks cost more overall. 270/27 for example. Along with increasing the cost for stg,s to 80 muni. Concidering they dont require sidetech or doctrine, cant be dropped, can upgrade anywhere on the field. Or remove the stg,s and self heal. Or make volks have a downside to upgrading stg,s unlike now. And ofcourse if any of these is done the other culprits such as rifles sections penals need a look as well. Cons spam results in horendous mp bleed, massive muni ussage, and unless going ppsh you will struggle handely in inf engagements. Cons spam will mostly cost you the game imo. Unlike volks spam.

The combination of these 2 thing allow them to do that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some change for Consript28 May 2019, 21:02 PM Jump back to quoted post28 May 2019, 20:06 PMMaret I don't think that T4 upgrade help them much. It's almost like run to uphill, where from the start to lategame you must survive until build T4 and get this upgrade. While in the other side you have penals from box, they are work from start to end and have good scale in lategame. If we want make cons really support unit and keep penals as more expensive offensive unit, we can change cons from terms of resource effectivness, not their battle states. As i suggusted before in previous topics about cons: 1. From 1-st buildnig (T1 or T2) you get global upgrade to speed up reinforce for cons. 2. From medics upgrade you get upgrade on cheaper reinforce for cons (16 mp instead of default 20). 3. Replace flare mine to faster sandbag building. Their decreased cost and time of reinforce will make ability Merge more attractive to use than now . Fasten sandbag will show them as defensive support unit and help play through T2. These changes don't make them good fighters, but get to SU player 2 options: openning from cheap and fast to return on battlefield cons (without any real additional investments), or more expensive offensive oppening through penals. This is indeed well thought out. Sanbags will surely see more use. Returning the the field will be short and cheap. However merge will still have a good chance to cost you the squad. Cons still cost 240 and need 500 mp and 40 fuel to reach this level of support now. The buffs from the mod allow you to fully recrew team weapons on the spot without loosing the squad. It allows you to hold the line with cons. Since the maxims supression is pretty meh i like the 7 men cons next to the maxim. And also cheapens their reinforce cost to 17 mp. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some change for Consript28 May 2019, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post28 May 2019, 19:47 PMblancat beacause cons is not combat infantry guards do anything and cons is just capping, meatshield infantry They do their job well now u want combat unit, then spam fucking guards ^^ i agree cons buff if guards get some nerf and delete their own support skill and price nerf I never said buffs cons in combat please read my comment better. The 7th guys makes them a meat shield, makes merge more ussable, cover bonus makes sandbags a worthwhile choice and actualy allows cons to defend. And stem the horrendues bleed for soviets. This will come from the commander patch. Right now they cant cap, almost anything forces them off. Merge is a risky ability to often costing you the squad in late game. Oorah is good but only shines with pps,s or at nade. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some change for Consript28 May 2019, 19:19 PM Jump back to quoted post28 May 2019, 17:39 PMblancat so stop claiming buff cons cons is support/anvil unit all top soviet player dont blame about cons because they are "fine" At least they are more efficient than shitty expensive rifleman Lol what game are you playing? Cons more efficient then rifles haha. Top players mostly avoid cons. Just like most other players. Cons are far from being meta for obvious reasons. Cons will most likely get well deserved buffs for their support abilities from the commander patch. Their support currently does not scale wich is weird considering it should be their defining feuture. So my claim is probably correct. Even devs and mod team sees they are quite inefficent and dont scale where the need to. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some change for Consript28 May 2019, 16:32 PM Jump back to quoted post28 May 2019, 09:26 AMblancat u want buff cons? fine delete merge and ura increase price to 260/25 delete received accuarcy penalty and unlock 1 DP28 in final tier nerf guards(5 man, only use PTRS or DP28 not the same time) worth it? You want to eliminate the faction's personality and like all the faction to be the same? Where did i say buff/change them to be on par with volks rifles etc? People need to stop claiming cons are cheap. Only their reinforce cost is cheap but the high rec acc counteracts that, Their price is not cheap, their tech is not cheap. And in what world does removing oorah and merge and adding 1 of the worst lmg,s in t4 warrant a prince increase to 260 mp? They still would have short range at nade, wich is weaker without oorah. Lolotov is still pretty bad. And nerf gaurds on top of that. Its a double nerf actualy. The new patch will give merge more use, their sandbags more use. You know their supporting abilities are actualy scaling. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some change for Consript27 May 2019, 19:50 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2019, 18:06 PMblancat if u want cons buff, nerf fucking guard and shocks cons is already good anvil infantry and guard do everything now cons is not hammer infantry That's why cons is a cheap infantry ostruppen need more dps or weapon? no Do not look at a single unit, but look at the balance of the whole faction To be at their best cons require a lot more then just 240mp. There actualy more expensive then grens and volks all costs conciderd. And both can snare and have better nade and non doc ai upgrade. And no oorah and merge dont come close to that in terms of scaling or ussefulnes. Cons fail at both hammer and anvil. Only doctrines can make them either. But that is bad design at its finest. Cons are avoided bey most players because of how cost ineffective they are. Cons are not worth it. The cant hold the line. They cant push the line. They are suppporting the worst mg and mortar. The worst engi if they dont get flamer. They make stronger units weaker with merge, as a result they save very little mp in the long run. That is taking the entire faction into consideration. Cons should be the backbone support wise but fall short in that regard quite handely. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Wehrmacht problems. 27 May 2019, 19:24 PM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2019, 17:22 PMachpawel But general purpose just works and for ost 2 men is 50% dps and they just have to retreat. When it hits the vehicle pios will have to repair vety often under fire without the ability to crit repair. If you have satchel/at or other options nearby the vehicle is dead. If you hit a teller with t70 - mate you just overextended. Use sweepers with vehicles. Ost can't have the sweeper everywhere that's why those mines are better imo. Yes and t70 dying is 100% dps lost, shock value lost if you hit it right after hitting the field. More recources lost more value lost. You loosing prgren models to a mine also means you overextended. Ost has sweepers too. Ost mines are better because they are specialized. Doing one job out of two but excelling at the one job. All true - but the AT stachel short range doesn't matter with 'for the motherland' or when the vehicle is crippled. Once again I will stress that there are many more AT solutions allies have, which makes it a bit imbalanced. And again - to have both the snare and bazookas/ptrs plus still pretty decent AI capabilities is a problem for the gameplay. Rambo style units sort of. Ost has faust, double shreck option, teller mines, pak40, stug3g, twp on 2 units non doc, the panther wich excels in at, that is not much less or even less then what allies have non doc. And every tank they have can get adtionel ai and aa by getting a pintle mounted mg, including the stug and panther. The at satchel is really more situational then any other snares. That it requires doctrines to be on par shows this clearly. I agree, but the whole point is that it happens too easily/frequently to ost units. A lot of people find it a problem. The game is quite balanced but ost has been neglected compared to other factions. Ost being more suceptible to aoe is by design. As a balacing factor their tanks are tougher and esp compared to soviet their lethality is higher overall. Clumping cant be really fixed. Mostly if given a move order or moving into cover units will bunch up for a second. I remember shreck blob very well and it was a real problem. Remember I'm writing about ost. OKW is a completely different story. Now, however, I face rifle/para/infsection/guards/penal/shocks blobs which just destroy almost everything in their way and ost has a problem with that. The risk of losing AT panzergenadier squad to armor is much much higher than losing allied AT squads. If they can blob all those much more expensive squads vs you, then either they are sorely lacking in other areas or they outplayed you. I made the volks shreck example to show what would be if pgrens got more resistant to damage. Volks where 5 men, meaning less likely to be wiped, loosing less dps, less chance to loose or repurchase weapons. Pgrenz have more dps, more shrecks when upgraded, a better nade. In: COH2 Gameplay
