The thing is, Codguy is a very well known troll who’s been making troll balance threads in the steam forums for months, as well as discords and reddit. He’s not interested in any kind of discussion, just trolling and bitching about his favourite faction (usf) being incredibly underpowered in his eyes.
He should be banned from creating balance threads.
I don't post about CoH2 on Discord or Reddit, only here and Steam.
Trolling? If not going along with the usual "Muh German Krupp Steel superiority" circle jerk is trolling than so be it. We have threads constantly complaining about Grens. Yes Grens, literally the best mainline infantry right now. You have people wanting to nerf the Jackson, the only stock USF unit worth a damn. |
70 range Jackson? Lol OK.... It's powerful enough with 60 range and top of class... Every other trait, but giving it elefant/JT levels of range too? OK.....
Yeah it's fine NOW but we're talking about nerfing it to shit. |
Maybe at your level 1500 rank that’s possible/accurate.
I thought I was 1300 rank? |
You mean assault engineers, Riflemen, Pack Howitzer, T70, T34-85, and the Pershing? Yeah having all of those in OKW would be overkill indeed.
Let's also pretend that OKW doesn't have the worst AT gun, 2nd worst HMG, a lack of flamethowers, handheld AT and caches, in addition to the highest tech costs in the game.
Oh if you meant rocket artillery, then yeah I agree that the walking stuka is indeed the best rocket arty in the game.
I'm not going to get into this too much but OKW is the one faction you can sit on your ass with and play as sloppy as you want for the first 15 minutes of the game and still pull off a win. It's got more get out of jail free cards than the Rothschild family. |
The argument for the Jackson's superiority made sense when the USF sincerely struggled with any sort of anti-tank duties in earlier versions of the game. Now that we have the Pershing seeing more use, and their handheld AT options being more viable, I feel like it needs to be toned down. I'd support a 50 range Jackson.
The Pershing is only available in ONE doctrine. What is more viable about USF "handheld at options" exactly? Are you talking about doctrinal Rangers? |

I don’t think it’s wrong at all. Fallschrimjägers are the best infantry in the game, no argument from me on that point. I just don’t see a problem with them being the best infantry in the game, I mean one unit has to be the best infantry right? I think the real problem isn’t that they’re the best infantry in the game so much as they’re the best infantry and belong to OKW.
Fallschrimjagers wouldn't be a problem if the faction they were a part of didn't also have the best engineer unit, mainline infantry, artillery, light, medium and heavy armor in the game. OKW has always been overkill. |
Infantry can counter their counter (machine guns) with clever maneuvering.
Tanks can counter their counter (anti-tank guns) with clever maneuvering.
Casemate TDs can be countered by what they counter (tanks) if those tanks maneuver cleverly.
The Jackson cannot be similarly outmaneuvered because of its 0.75 moving accuracy and its turret.
Is it wrong for a tank destroyer to be that flexible? No. But we shouldn't pretend that it's not a huge advantage over the SU-85 and Firefly.

Not really both Puma is flanker since it needs to close in to get good penetration and accuracy or attack side or rear/side armor.
Puma has less penetration than T-34/76 at max range.
M36 can snipe all day long and have near 100% chance to hit and penetrate from range 60.
But when you're talking about light vehciles is there any light vehcile that can bounce a hit from a Puma at any range? |
Actually when you think about it why not give Rifle Company access to M1919s? |
