Thread: OKW best beginner faction?19 Dec 2021, 21:11 PM OST or OKW are the easiest factions. With OST being a little bit easier than OKW because of lacking side techs, getting powerful units much sooner and cheaper than other factions. From my POV, generally speaking the difficulty of factions from easiest to hardest at the moment are: OST OKW SOVIETS USF UKF Athough Soviets and OKW I think are pretty comparable, I give the edge to OKW because they get much better infantry units with certain commanders and have better late game armor. This is all from a 1v1 perspective mostly. Things change some going to 3v3 and 4v4 but I play less of that. I think the tweaks made to OST and OKW to make them more competitive in larger games has made them a bit more powerful than they should be at the 1v1 level reletive to USF and UKF at least.

Thread: USF is confusing15 Dec 2021, 04:03 AM USF's issue lately is a lot of overly expensive garbage-tier units and excessive tech costs. Some examples of garbage-tier units costing too much: Rear Echelon Troops Pathfinders Assault Engineers M2 .50 cal HMG (not garbage-tier but overpriced) M3 half-tracks (not garbage-tier but overpriced) M20 Scout Car Excessive tech costs 250 MP and 35 fuel for CPT or LT plus another 20 fuel and 50 before unlocking vehicles and making available tech to Major. That's 55 fuel and 300 MP just for that then another 120 fuel and 180 MP to get to Major so 480 MP and 175 fuel to get to T3 without access to weapon upgrades, grenades, unit healing, and doing without access to an MG or AT gun. Pretty friggen steep fuel costs I'd say. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Let's talk pop cap14 Feb 2021, 21:39 PM I've said this multiple times that the pop cap on pretty much all late game vehicles is way too high. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So UKF rework when?14 Feb 2021, 21:38 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2021, 07:44 AMthedarkarmadillo Faction fanaticism is a hell of a thing. There was a guy on here once that claimed the elefant was one axis' multiple monsters and said its AI was too much. Some people just don't understand balance since they only play one side. I heard there were people claiming OKW and OST were hard factions to play. That's hilarious. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So UKF rework when?14 Feb 2021, 06:07 AM A UKF rework would be nice as long as they're not letting Wehraboos make all the changes like they apparently did the last few patches. Look at crap they did over the last year: - Reduced armor on UC - No upgrades to UC before PLCP teching - No bolster before teching to PLCP - Reduced dps on Tommies - Churchill tank increased in price, but worse POP jumped way up to 19 - Grenade removed from Churchill Seriously, which Wehraboos came up with these changes?

Thread: Ostheer bunker tweaks3 Jan 2021, 00:42 AM If any change like this should be made it should be for the USF fighting position. That's a much weaker emplacement, not much cheaper though and all it really is is a hole in the ground. I do think the build time for both the MG42 and .50 cal upgrades should be reduced some. Good gried takes for ever. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will they address Panzergrens in the new patch?30 Dec 2020, 06:34 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2020, 18:23 PMBetterDead ThanRed over-reliance on grens is fast route to defeat. if you lose your pio-squad early, getting T2 would be postponed, especially if fighting gets fierce, and needing to prioritize mg, mortars or grens. how about they come out as they currently do, but arrive with 50/50 K98 and STG44? and when T2 is built, STG44 upgrade is free for whole squad? I actually made a similar suggestion a while back. Basically I said Panzergrens should be built initially with 4 K98ks then given the option to upgrade to 4 StGs or 2 schreks. They deleted my comment. Maybe that was too much but personally I hate the fact that they maintain their cheap squad wiping supernade even after their Schrek upgrade. It makes them still a potent anti-infantry sqaud with serious AT abilities. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback22 Dec 2020, 01:58 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Dec 2020, 06:46 AMspajn How about making grenadiers a worthy frontline infantry? Im getting so sick of patch after patch with OST getting trivial tweaks because "they are the most complete faction in the game". Also REMOVE THE MINE SIGNS FROM S MINES. Why should the shittiest mines in the game also have a sign? How easy should they make this faction for you? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Osttruppen Discussion and Feedback20 Dec 2020, 08:30 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2020, 15:27 PMBetterDead ThanRed panzergrens are great, but expensive,far from being invincible like you say CODGUY. are we playing the same game here? They aren't that expensive, 60 MP more than Riflemen, don't have to pay to upgrade their weaponry, or unlock their super nade. Riflemen, Infantry Sections, Conscripts you pay for every damn little thing. I know the thread is about Osttruppen but the main reason why the Osttruppen strategy overpreforms is because of Panzergrens being practically a T1 unit that walks all over anything other than some doctrinal elite infantry (that arrive WAY later) and maybe Penal troops.

Thread: Osttruppen Discussion and Feedback20 Dec 2020, 08:13 AM If you have to change Osttruppen just take away the snare. Seriously, why does every Axis infantry unit either have to have a snare or a super nade? In: COH2 Balance
