Thread: Volks mp40 vs stg44 vs no update23 May 2021, 10:50 AM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2021, 10:16 AMMMX for a pretty long time sturm med crates worked totally fine in conjunction with mechanized builds, which iirc was pretty much the 1v1 okw meta just about one year ago. i'm not aware of any groundbreaking changes to either the luchs/puma or volks that would have changed this so dramatically that a mechanized build with med crates is totally not viable anymore. Cause there was always something to abuse. First there was techless CommandPanther. Just go Puma+Stuka into Panther while you have to pay no fuel for T4. Then there was the owerpowered CommandTiger (timing, performance and price). But since both things got adjusted OKW has not much to abuse (besides maybe Radio Silence vs Tac map player) and you see the flaws they had since the rework. Having costly healing is no problem as long you have other positive things that overshadow this. Currently both tech paths are equally viable, but it feels kind of lacking like the old USf tech structure. If you want to go puma for lights or stuka vs support weapons you have to do without indirect fire and healing. If you want healing and indirect fire you have to neglect rocket arty and a (more or less) secured light vehicle phase. This on top of weak mainline, no groundbreaking commander and a strong counterpart (Ost) makes OKW kinda negligible. But the question is if you want to put every faction on OST/Sov level or just nerf the eastern factions. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Volks mp40 vs stg44 vs no update22 May 2021, 19:52 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2021, 19:45 PMPip It would probably be a good idea to remove self-healing from Volksgrenadiers, they're the only non-"elite" infantry that possess it, and it is the type of ability that should remain only on elites. It's too strong an ability to give to Volks at vet1, it would make healing for the faction practically unnecessary. Removing it from them entirely might make room for the unit to be changed/improved in other ways. I think healing for OKW is approaching a more reasonable price nowadays, how does the BG healing stack up to other factions' healing in terms of pricing? Its the worst if you count the whole tech structure. Brits and Sov only pay manpower, Ost manpower and munition. Only Usf has to pay both manpower and fuel. But the cost is more or less fine. The biggest problem is to have no puma/stuka until you backtech. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Volks mp40 vs stg44 vs no update22 May 2021, 19:09 PM Jump back to quoted post22 May 2021, 19:07 PMjagd wölfe I would prefer passive healing to be frontloaded to vet 1 for Mechanized builds. Whats the point of Battlegroup/Medics then? This would be way too good. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Volks mp40 vs stg44 vs no update22 May 2021, 18:58 PM Obersoldaten come soon enough now. The problem are Volks. Their vet5 target size is laughable. MP40 volks get 10 percent on top of their base 0,77 and even then its lower than that of Rifleman and Sections. Just give them something at vet 5, put healing on 4 and remove the bonus vision behind cover. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Brummbar performance14 May 2021, 22:40 PM Jump back to quoted post14 May 2021, 20:11 PMMarkedRaptor On the churchill, idk what to tell you if you let that slow thing slunk over to your AT gun. If you get a snare off that thing moves 1 mile per hour. Maybe I'm just used to having my AT guns plink every other shot as USF. Does feel good reliably penning on OKW/Ostheer though. Churchill went from broken to mediocre with a small fuel cost increase and a big population increase. It was fast enough to break balance then. I dont see your point. I think Brumm performance is fine but the popcap is a little bit too low. The unit isnt on the same lvl as OKW P4 or T-34/85 (all 14). I would rather move it to 16 and maybe increase the fuel slightly (5). Avre and Sturmtiger would still have 2 more popcap (18). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - OKW Feedback12 May 2021, 20:24 PM Jump back to quoted post12 May 2021, 18:38 PMjagd wölfe The problem of HEAT rounds is that it should have custom stats for each vehicle. Its damage buff is pointless for mediums against mediums but very good on the puma because it grants 160 damage per shot, and on the King Tiger Panzer Commander is very useful, and I think the offmap is great. It can even destroy an emplacement if brace is on cooldown or abandoned team weapons if I can't keep the tank stationary and forces every team weapon to move or lose. It also grants +10 sight and +10 accuracy Instead of active dmg and penetration i would rather have passive penetration (and maybe accuracy). Or maybe 2 different modes similar to the Sherman, so i can choose between normal and heat shells (something like slower reload and better dmg/penetration). It just feels awful to press heatshells-> miss 1 shot and bounce the other one. Nice impact lol. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff for 5 man grens10 May 2021, 12:40 PM Jump back to quoted post10 May 2021, 12:32 PMjagd wölfe They don't have any RA bonus, that was removed when their G43 was replaced with Volksgrenadiers Kekgewehr version Yeah they went from 0,82 to the basic 0,91 rec acc. Thats why i said 10% more rec acc. And Sander already proved that the VSL Stg is no downgrade compared to the VSL g43. The only nerf there was the oneshot model potential. That was a fair nerf. Even Sections lost that a couple of patches ago. Edit: Here are the stats https://ibb.co/6tBpsp4 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff for 5 man grens10 May 2021, 12:25 PM Jump back to quoted post10 May 2021, 11:38 AMLMAO Pray tell what maps lmg grens are worse than vsl and elighten this poor peasant. Eindhoven, Winnekendonk or Elst Outskirts. Old 5Man Grens were completely broken. And now where they have 10% more recieved acc they are bad? How do you wanna make them balanced when the stock upgrade is that good? You cant reduce the reinforce cost without changing stock Grens. And even if (!) 5Man Grens are underwhelming, how do you wanna buff them without breaking balance again? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Buff for 5 man grens10 May 2021, 11:07 AM Jump back to quoted post10 May 2021, 10:38 AMZyllen Grens are well-rounded. Rifles only win from grens at short range. Tommies only win from grens when in cover and at long range. In any other situation grens win and are more flexible. and of course the ostheer has access to tools to defeat both situations in tier 1 Since when is range 25 short and 13 long range? You overestimate vet0 Grens without lmg. Anyway Ost has the best support roster with mg42, 222, 251, pak40, t0 snare and teller. So Grens dont have to be the strongest squad, while being cheap. And they scale quite well. 5Man Grens are fine. They are stronger Volks with better snare, healing, better nade and really good scaling. Sure they bleed more than lmg Grens, but on some maps where lmg dont work very well they can be a solid alternative. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: RK 43 7 May 2021, 13:45 PM Making the Raketen into a Pak40/6-Pounder Anti-Tank Gun clone would be an OKW buff and nothing else. But i understand that blobbing 2 or 3 Raks can be problematic in teamgames. From my experience the biggest problem is the reliability of the Raketen. The little shit misses half of its shoots or shoots somewhere in the ground. And the tracking feels shit too. OKW has the best stock anti-tank power of all factions with the mobile+cheap puma, 60 range JP4 and Panther. Idk why the raketen tries to compete with them while being t0 and trash against light vehicles (or even cheap mediums). I would trade lower penetration/dmg with better reliability/cheaper cost any day of the weak. Something like the soviet m-42. In: COH2 Balance
