Thread: Grens changes9 Jul 2020, 21:52 PM There is a reason people are using ass grens, ostruppen, and VSL's over Grens. It's the same reason why conscripts fell out of grace before the 7 man/SVT buff. Soviet players were using penals like crazy because they could absolutely roflstomp Grens (as they should, they are 300mp), and Ost, other than building MG42's (which could be satchled) had no answer for it, except maybe a sniper supplanting a gren squad engaged with a penal. (And penals could still rush grens under cover and force them off) You could force them off and wait for PG's...which still drop units against penals, their bundle grenade is not as good, and their AT package doesn't snare. And reinforcement cost is enormous. I'm not for giving Grens an OP buff, but when players are preferring a 200mp unit like Ostruppen over a mainline infantry that costs 240mp and requires tech, it seems pretty clear the 240mp unit does not have enough value in it to purchase. Why not give them more HP to increase their survivalbility? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Proposed Sturmpio changes9 Jul 2020, 08:35 AM I don't mind it. OKW needs a highly mobile non-doc schreck unit, and Strums are good for that. Like the Flame/Sweep non lockout as well. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Counter SVT40?8 Jul 2020, 14:30 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Feb 2020, 09:54 AMJoshua85 The SVT package means that the player has locked into a single doctrine. This is a decent doctrine, but it lacks late game spice, which means that you will be facing no medum tanks other that t34/76s, which is outclassed by most german tanks in the same and higher tiers. So holding your ground and minimizing your losses until the late game generally means that you will win on the long game against an equally skilled opponent. I see SVT's, I stall for STUGs, which can take stock T34's straight up. Then I go for Ostwind, and gg bro. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Raketenwerfers should not have retreat anymore.5 Jul 2020, 12:07 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2020, 16:20 PMMr Carmine I think he meant the volks shreck blob. 1 vollying mediums and single handidly shutting down all vehicle play vs okw and sniping models with shrecks, vetting insanely fast. Glad that they are just a bad memory lol. No I meant PF's, but I'm basically an idiot and remembered wrong, lol. Pre-buff, every time I played as OKW against the Soviets, I would always see M3/Penals. Every. Time. And I really didn't have an answer for it early game. Didn't have an MG to suppress Penals, and the one Rak I could build would get eaten up by a circle-strafe M3 with a flamethrower, even with the retreat function. Best I could hope for is to stick the Rak inside a building and hope opposing player was stupid enough to drive his M3 near it. I still see M3/Penal spam, but at least the Rak can handle the M3 a bit better. Penals are still a problem, but I just go for stall and flank points because I'm relatively sure they have fewer infantry units, and they don't have Maxims early game because they went for Penals. Instead of bulging-vein induced rage when I see M3/Penals, it now elicits a beleaguered sigh. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Raketenwerfers should not have retreat anymore.4 Jul 2020, 14:07 PM Remember when the Rak was a piece of crap that no one used and in response, Fusiliers were the only decent AT weapon OKW had early game? Raks are really good as light vehicle busters. They work OK as medium tank busters in pairs. It's in a good spot. Take away the retreat function and its quirks, its needs to have a lightning fast reset and movement. I'm all for having the US AT gun or the Zis instead. Way more useful than the Rak.

Thread: how to deal vs good opponent who plays ostruppen ?28 Jun 2020, 03:37 AM Maxim/M3 Flame/Penals/Shock Troops/T70/Sniper/7 man conscripts/120mm mortar. Ostruppen will commonly run PG's once tiering up. A smart ostruppen player will keep their units as far back and behind cover as possible, then supplememt the attack of PGs. Ostruppen are not offensive units. They can be pressed to do so when synnergized with the artillery field officer, but that is not their primary role. I often play as Ostruppen. They have good survival ability, with fausts. Honestly prefer them to running VSL's or Ass Grens. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Kubel idea26 Jun 2020, 22:26 PM How about removing the MG34 altogether, keep the maphack, but lower the popcap and let it cap points extremely quickly? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Idea for sturmpiooner26 Jun 2020, 22:23 PM I think they are okay, but I think they underperform a bit in the late game for their popcap/reinforce cost. I just wish they could get a bit of a buff mid range, like a G43 upgrade which locks out the schreck. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dealing with Obers as SOV23 Jun 2020, 22:29 PM ...Surprised 'bullying with the T-70' hasn't come up. Obers have no AT, and T-70s are very good at chasing down infantry. In: COH2 Balance
