Thread: Volks are disgustingly good, need toning down.13 Nov 2018, 16:07 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Nov 2018, 10:56 AMVipper My suggestion for VG would be: 1) Replace Flame-grenade with normal grenade... Reason: Mainline infantry should not have easy access to anti-cover/anti-garrison tools. I agree with that reason, specially the side tech or package upgrade. Now normal grenade on volks + mp40 or STG44 its a lot of rush potential. Now flamenade denies that land even for volks. 3) Redesign the ST44 upgrade. ST44 upgrade now requires 2 truck set up and give 5 ST44 on semi auto mod. The performance is similar to "carbine" semi auto rifle. They have a timed ability allowing them to use full auto with a performance similar to PG ST44. Reason: The ST44 if closer to real performance and easier for player to understand the use of it. In addition the unit can now support long range units like Obers or non upgraded VG from being overrun by allied infantry. Making the increased performance a timed one will prevent blobing. If you delay too much stgs volks will end up loosing mid and lategame, or in other words useless after early game ends. As they are now, they win early and blob midgame, the latter being the main problem. Delaying too much sounds too harsh since obers take too much time to land the battlefield. The timed ability sounds good, that way they demand more micro and less oportunity to blob them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Volks are disgustingly good, need toning down.13 Nov 2018, 15:51 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Nov 2018, 00:36 AMthedarkarmadillo It might be that volks are 250mp when Tommies and rifles are 280mp or that Tommies and rifles need to side tech and dump double the muni to have double lmgs to wreck face... But in the end, rifles and tommies end with an egde in firepower and map control. Its more expensive but its reliable. ...Of and likley have to hit base to GET those guns, not enemy territory. AND they need to throw more fuel at being able to deny cover via grenades. I understand that it is annoying, but its not even close to a disadvantage, soon or later squads retreat to reinforce or heal. Its just a minor detail, no big deal, or is it? Everyone is complaining about volks because they are even comparable to more expensive to get squads with more munitions dumped that require even more fuel and even more manpower to even unlock. Volks get everything without having to invest anything WHILE being able to put up a fight against larger investments I disagree with the comparison, i would rather say volks are good intermediate squads and are avalible very early in the game, but they cant beat more expensive squads, they do not punch over their weight, they come before beefier troops hit the battlefield. The only issue i see with that design its what everyone here can agree with, it is volks blobs, because with great numbers they diminish their lack of the best firepower nor map control. Still I dont consider them to be OP, maybe annoying AF but definitely not OP In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff Ostwind10 Nov 2018, 17:27 PM I would say that 222 are just good to deal with AA, compared to ostwind the latter performs mediocre. Maybe im wrong but arent ostwinds supposed to be "better" against armor compared centaurs (I mean, one has an big autocannon and the other has a quad gun) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 120mm Mortars Are too relaint on RNG10 Nov 2018, 06:44 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2018, 17:45 PMjajajajaja Thas definately not the same "as any other mortar". ;-) You are right, i was refering to others SU mortars though. If you compare 120mm to OST mortar obviously they are not the same. In any faction 3 models down means decrew with SU you need to kill 5 always. Thats their strength. In: COH2 Balance

Hahaha it would be terrible if that happened. I wasnt aware of the final reinforce cost. Tnx anyway. Jae for jett got around this problem pretty quick and i stick to his idea now In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 120mm Mortars Are too relaint on RNG10 Nov 2018, 06:25 AM The reason they can retreat with 1 crewmember is because both, the weapon is expensive and its powerful. Imagine OKM with one of those. Scary stuff In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 120mm Mortars Are too relaint on RNG9 Nov 2018, 16:59 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2018, 16:52 PMjajajajaja ... The biggest "problem" with the unit is how it never dies. It just goes down to 1 crewmember even on a full stuka hit. It got nerfed recently to -1 crewmember, so now its the same as any other mortar Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2018, 16:52 PMjajajajaja ... Second issue is the bigger range compared to the stock mortar. On small maps like Faymonville, it almost covers the full map even if you just put it in your base. ... Mortars take quite a while to deal that amount of damage, you could have changed of strategy many times, if you didnt its you own fault. You just dont win because "you want to". You adapt to the other strong aspects to find a weak spot and win. In: COH2 Balance

OR do u wanna tell us that the tournements-player are brain afk player? When will we see your next game? This yeahr? When will we see that you show us your skill, when battling me? You are a forum troll which dont play this game active. Not more. You should prove your skill. Say when u ready. I dont want to throw gas on a fire here, im just telling Katitof speaks in the most sensible way, he always has a solid point. He is not trolling right now. And with regard the OPs topic, he is right pointing out that volks are cheap for their utility, and their power. As an example, riflemen have less utility but get more power, and conscript get more utility but they lack on firepower serioulsy. Volks are in the golden spot. And the worst part is, that volks are the neccesary evil in OKM since they are the only option to keep them from being dominated, pretty much as OKM does to other factions. If you buff spios, you'll get spios blobs. If you buff kubels, again, kubel raids. OKM doesnt have any flexibility in early game, they are meant to be "excel" troops but that brings many problems. My suggestions to this everlasting topic (rly its been discussed at least 3 times) is: Increase volk reinforce cost (to stop suicidal blob raids) Reduce starting MP of OKM and reduce MP cost of sPios and kubels (to nerf volks only) Remove the "free" upgrade style, or revamp it to a sidetech or even docrinal and not SWS (offensive allies does that too, its a win-win situation) Lock flamenade to vet1 (why not?) Raise stgs cost to 80. swap stgs for mp40s (like feuerstrum doc) making stgs doctrinal, kinda like coh1 Final words: Maybe the trick is within the squad cost/reinforce ratio. Many squads tend to be cheaper to reinforce. Then why cant we tweaking this ratio into a real bad ratio for volks, for example 250 to call and 350 to full reinforce, since they overdo other squads, they are kind of "premium" generalist infantry in early-midgame. Then punish bad plays and model loss, germany had fewer soldiers late in war, you cant spare them to die. In: COH2 Balance
