Thread: MG42 over performing 24 Nov 2020, 04:19 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2020, 03:56 AMSpoof Ignoring the parts about balance, I meant using one Rear Echelon and one Rifleman squad, or one Rifleman and one Officer squad. Or one mortar and one Rifleman squad. Two units. You still don't catch a break with that because you have to side tech for smoke. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG42 over performing 24 Nov 2020, 03:36 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2020, 01:51 AMSpoof Also, you shouldn't really be advancing with a single squad. Even if the smoking squad is suppressed there should be a second squad available to go through the smoke. So you're supposed to automatically have three units to micro manage in order to counter some guy's single unit that he got to buy T0 right off the bat. Let's see, you are USF, and in order to counter and clear out a single 260 MP unit you need two rifle sqauds for 280 MP each plus your 240 MP mortar to smoke it. Oh and you're supposed to hope and pray there isn't a second MG or supporting units around to brush off your attack. The excuses people make for the most OP unit in the game are hilarious. The fact of the matter is the damn thing is too cheap, comes too early, supresses too fast, has too wide a firing arc, too long a range and destroys light vehicles all too well and it's setup time isn't THAT slow, it doesn't have a death loop and if you ask me it's crew seem to be significantly more durable than that of other MGs.

Every allied faction has access to one or both of these tools early on. As are flanks, which can indeed be done against Ostheer MG42s, most 1v1 maps provide plenty of sight blockers and alternate routes to get around strong MG positions. This MG will instantly supress multiple units in just one burst and the recovery time is LOOOONG. When you smoke an MG your units will be pinned and by the time they recover the smoke will have cleared in time for them to get pinned again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Recovery sappers salvage21 Nov 2020, 03:43 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2020, 23:35 PMzerocoh Aren't the values a little too nerfed? I did some testing and you gain pretty much nothing from the salvages now, a heavy tank like ISU only gives like 10 fuel while most of other vehicles only give 3-5. I wonder why even bother making a special unit anymore, just give the smoke grenade to regular sappers and call it a day. Probably. Sappers are about the worst Engineer unit the game has.

Thread: The Bipolar Nature of Cav Rifles18 Nov 2020, 21:22 PM They are not really a true CQC unit. They get shredded fairly easy in CQC by stuff like Panzergrens even Assault Grens. They are primarly a vehicle support unit as was mentioned so they work well in the back of an M3 HT or WC51 but not as much on their own. When used with vehicles the satchel is great for tossing it on an attacking vehicle allowing your HT or WC51 to retreat. Honestly putting Bazookas on them dedicating them to AT might work better than trying to use them as a CQC unit. I haven't really tried it though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Where is post : Why OKW is OP ?16 Nov 2020, 18:00 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2020, 16:05 PMAerohank OKW is fine mostly imo. Only change I would make is to make the MG34 available after 1st truck build instead of deployed to diversify them a bit so they don't have to go 4x volks. Eh I don't know, USF/UKF basically have to do the samething. The only two factions that have a wide range of opening builds are Soviets and OST. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pershing blows - USF Heavy Cavalry14 Nov 2020, 19:49 PM You might as well just give the Pershing a crew now. Who cares if you can call in more than one that way. The thing sucks anyway. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Issues playing agains USF14 Nov 2020, 03:48 AM OST is a much stronger faction than USF essentially for two key reasons. 1) A far superior tech tree 2) more and better doctrines. With early Panzergrens and 5 man grens you've got the infantry advantage over USF unless they happen to go Airborne. You've got medium armor that comes out sooner and is overall better than what is available to USF. You've got a complete tech tree with everything you need from mortars, snipers, HMGs, you have no difficult tech decisions to make, your USF opponent does. In: COH2 Gameplay
