Thread: Soviet Infantry Design2 Jun 2019, 07:56 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jun 2019, 05:37 AMKirrik Even by wehraboo standards you're quite something. If Guards were op people would be playing only Guard doctrines same way Overwatch was in every game thanks to JLI. Thats not the case. Guards can be actually OP and dont be seen quite often. 1st logic fallacy there: correlation does not mean causation. I can name a simple counter example about this. Combat engineers must be OP, since they are present in EVERY SU game, sometimes even two or three squads present at the same time. The point is, guards can be OPish because they can do multiple jobs quite effectively, more than other factions variants or even than other alternatives in the same faction, because they are quite durable by themselves as a premium generalist inf squad they are. Early game until almost midgame can be played with guards safely. After that, when multiple mediums, heavy indirect fire and AI specialist squads are present, guards stop shining (for ovbious reasons, otherwishe it will be buttfuck OP). Therefore guards can (or can not) be OP without being spammed in every game. Also commander pick is a important detail here, not mentioned. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Some change for Consript1 Jun 2019, 03:08 AM Jump back to quoted post31 May 2019, 19:47 PMMr Carmine Volks should have either their stg,s removed then or their inc nade. The combination of these 2 thing allow them to do that. 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) In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Some change for Consript28 May 2019, 08:40 AM People tend to remember everytime their favorite units got nerfed, but not all the buffs they got also. Still for the sake of a fresh gameplay it's better to drive the meta with buffs to every faction In: COH2 Gameplay

Wow dude! Let people free speak... Imho Brits dont need any kind of buff/new tools. But I guess that's an unpopular one. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Some change for Consript27 May 2019, 03:40 AM Jump back to quoted post27 May 2019, 02:48 AMKurobane Rather than nerf certain units, target modifiers should be used. For example, a mortar unit is under performing, rather than straight buff the unit it could gain a 10% accuracy/scatter buff against the units it is meant to counter so that unintended consequences against other units dont pop up causing an endless buff/nerf cycle. That concept will lead to a rock paper scissors based game, like C&C. It seems logical but also very unrealistic and complex. About OP ideas. Cons need a buff, but a single effective one, not a triple OPness blessing to outshine pedals. Apart from that I agree with the free moles. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch17 May 2019, 01:09 AM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 21:24 PMthedarkarmadillo ... cons are supposed to always be useful no matter what you use them to support- and thats the key here, THEY are the support, not the other units. they are supposed to be the heart of your army, but not the star. they make everything else shine. I couldnt agree more with that. At least that is the intended use for cons, hopefully it the recent buffs will help it. Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 23:58 PMVipper And that is my point, good solutions are the ones that promote building more than one type of unit. Making conscript spam a viable strategies is not a good solution. Another well said truth, the value of a combined army must surpass its individual ones. Although a cons spam could be the least problematic blob of all, even with their good amount of abilities (mostly supportive). Thats why i still think a price decrease for cons is well deserved In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 20:50 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 17:05 PMMaret You know it looks very starnge - coomon opinion about cons, that are they support. But if you play through cons you always build T2 (Support Kompaneya). We build support cons to support our support weapons, and we build support weapons to support our support cons. Please tell me where in these cursed loop of support hiding mainline infantry? As i understand how SU works, you get that support loop to give space for special doctrinal units to do the more delicate stuff. Rushing in - shocks / Figting off LVs and defend - Guards. T2 playstile its more situational, very team dependent and hardly a self sustaining one. The advantages of it when played with repair cons or repair stations is that gives a decent opening for tank massing or heavy indirect fire playstyle. Apart from that cons SU cant get any advantage, cons cant swarm like volks do. That would be a good benchmark for cons buff. I agree with crecer13 about the penal/cons situation. Penals are very useful but outshine easly what cons should do. I wonder if swapping cons to T1 and penals to T0. Along with some little buffs to cons could solve most of SU cons problems.

Thread: Universal carrier rework thread13 May 2019, 20:22 PM I have to saw, WASPs are UP and lackluster, they are a big upgrade but they fail to get the most important job, killing garrisoned MGs. The UC is just a bad platform to carry a flamer gun IMO. The range is a good way to help WASP not being trash maybe? Buff its range but not sight. Other squad spots the MG, get the wasp spray flames and back off real fast and let the flames do the job. OMG its a hard topic. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Weapon upgrades for Conscripts and Grenadiers13 May 2019, 20:18 PM I would say i liked the idea of giving cons "low quality" PPSh nondoc. They could even replace all the squad mosins. Does anyone like that too? In: COH2 Gameplay
