Thread: Ostheer vulnerability to indirect fire21 Jun 2019, 18:33 PM I never understood the concept of "Counter Barrage". What is the purpose of this ability? Can anyone explain what it does specifically and its benefits. Currently, I do not see any real reason in using this ability especially for a mortar! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sturmpio needs some changes21 Jun 2019, 16:18 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2019, 16:15 PMblvckdream Sturmpioneers aren't an "AT infantry unit". There job is mines, repairs, sweeping and CQC combat. The single Panzershreck sidegrade is meant as a LV deterrent. PTRS Penals are the only AT Soviet T1 has so it's not comparable to OKW at all. Sturmpioneer veterancy requirements are indeed too high but I doubt that lowering them without adjust the base stats is a good idea because making the unit any better could easily make it OP. You also forget that Sturms have the highest repair speed in COH2. That´s a major advantage in mid- to late game. Thx for the repairing reminder. I just do not think repair should be the only impact (which is the the best repair unit) in game as Sturmpio role, but to have the ability to also take on any other desired roles such as the AT which needs fixing!

Thread: PAK vs Zis AT guns21 Jun 2019, 16:15 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2019, 15:40 PMblvckdream I don´t think u really know how to use Raketenwerfers. They are not well designed and very frustrating yes. But they are not bad unless you don't know what you are doing. It is just simply frustrating to use. I do not like the way and how it functions although I know how it should be used. It should not be the case. It should be less frustrating as all other AT guns and should have more of a supportive impact. That is all! Camo is just for recon purposes, not a real AT ability like what the others have. It would be if it had the same range as others. If even the camo function was nerfed in exchange for better range, than it would have a somewhat better impact but currently it does not as the others do. OKW has already, too much recon. Should be changed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmpio needs some changes21 Jun 2019, 16:04 PM OKW starter Sturmpio units is undeniably a strong unit. Everyone knows that and are aware of that fact. The problem is, later on becomes a rather unreliable combatant unit. It does not have any alternatives in terms of proper purchasable equipment, only the "repair package". AT Panzershrek upgrade which costs 70 ammo, is the least used and the least effective AT upgrade in game. The fact its description has not been changed as well as to match its performances according to how the other factions performs has not been unchanged. It's current performance is lackluster as it has 2/5ths of the efficiency compared to any other AT infantry unit user! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here is a test I have conducted. The Comparison between Sturmpio and Penlas. Simple test. Penals 300 manpower, 6 man, AT package 60 ammo (2 PTRS in addition to Satchel Snare). Sturmpio 300 manpower, 4 man, AT package 70 ammo (only 1 Panzershrek + cold immunity, does that even matter now!) Results: For 60 ammo, it does 2 to 3 times more efficient than the 70 ammo upgrade of Sturmpio. Reasons being. Within the 9 second period. Penals would do 240 damage while Sturmpio does only 120 damage Plus Penals have snare that does more damage than within a 9 second period. I think Satchel does around 300 damage. The point is, they can in addition stun a vehicle while Sturmpio cant. And 9 seconds is a lot of precious time in this game and Sturmpio does not exactly meet the requirements of a proper purchasable "AT unit package". It needs improvements. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ My ideas are: Either, give it another Pzshrek or Remove Panzershrek for 2 Panzerbursche and a regular snare (snare that removes stun nade)! Here is an old forum related to this:https://www.coh2.org/topic/55413/panzerschreck-usage-on-sturmpios Nothing has been changed thus far! Change it please Devs! This a pressing issue as it has not been fixed after how long and how obvious this unit performs in terms of AT! __________________________________________________________________________________________________ AT is not the only problem. Veterancy is another issue. It scales terribly which makes it an unreliable infantry units. Veterancy is meant to help scale in combat but it does not work properly. Usually the Volks that comes after the Sturmpio. They Vet 5 when Sturmpio is still on Vet 2. That needs changing. Vet 1 does not funcition since there is no changes/improvements. In fact some units in OKW have Veterancy problems. I going to publish a list now but I am certain that some of you are aware of this fact, some units taking longer than expected/anticipated! __________________________________________________________________________________________________ In Conclusion. This unit, Sturmpio does not require a buff. Simply a fix, a fix or improvement. To spicen up, give proper diversity. As far as this unit performs and with what utility it has currently, it is the least reliable unit on the field. I want to have the ability to use a mobile AT unit just as I have the option with any other faction. Sturmpio AT is currently lackluster, waste of ammo, with hardly any effect! I want it to be a viable option. I am sure everyone can agree on that fact! If the Devs dont intend to fix this AT issue that Sturmpio suffers. Remove it than for "Flamethrower" for an easy fix! I dont like the idea of "Flamethrower" but something to have an impact on the field like other building units do as it scales on! Not just repair impact (which is the the best repair unit) in game, but the ability to also take on any other desired roles such as the AT which needs fixing! It needs to have an impact like others factions "AT infantry unit"! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: PAK vs Zis AT guns21 Jun 2019, 15:32 PM If there is any AT gun that needs real changes. I think it is the Raketenwerfer since it has much more cons than what you have compared to Pak40. Raketenewerfer does not play a proper AT supportive role, that is the biggest con! It plays more of a recon role which limits OKW capabilities. Too much recon! Pak40 is undeniably superior due to the fact it has good range, penetration. You forgot however to mention its stun ability which is in fact very useful. Raketenwerfer in contrast. Its only major upside is its Camo. The rest is all cons. Shit RA, range, survivability, all combo into the worst sandwich you ever tasted! You can depend on it but it proves unreliable as it is somewhat buggy and the fact it loves to rot/die all the time makes it all the more unreliable. It happens every so know and then that the Rak just instantly dies because of how vulnerable it is. That is what needs changes. USF AT gun for 280 manpower and with what it comes along. Makes it simply the best for its price. Raketenwerfer for 270 manpower, that is simply not worth it in comparison! Camos real function for Rak is just a covered up/sauced "suicide button" in many case scenarios! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Requesting that the Ost 251 Forward Retreat Point stay.19 Jun 2019, 17:20 PM Halt track retreating point was cool! I do not like the fact that it has been suddenly removed this "retreat point" feature for Wehr considering every other faction has it (SU requires Doctrine but still is a possibility). Why not for them too? Maybe they could put it pack or make some other kind of possibility would be greatly appreciated! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commander Update Patch June 14th18 Jun 2019, 15:58 PM There are still some issues with OKW. *Veterancy* is still an issue experienced amongst most of OKW units. *Price and Performance* of units needs certain revaluation. I will create a kind of list of units regarding these issues. ____ List of Units I believe experience Vet issues: 1./ Sturmpio, if you compare to when Volks vet, you can how drastically long it takes for them to ridiculously acquire vet. Maybe even move the stun nade earlier to vet 1 because it currently does not work. 2./ Raketenwerfer, apparently it vets slow in OKW hands but in others, it vets faster. Wierd right? 3./ King Tiger. It comes in and its requirements are ridiculous. Never have had the chance to even acquire anything higher than vet 2. Because its vet scaling has not been considered! That why its the least favourite choice as their Heavy Tank! Revamp/Improvements! 4./ Obersoldaten. They come apparently late all the time. Their vet scaling also needs maybe some looking into! 5./ MG34, since its performance is worse than most of other MGs, I feel it is one of the hardest to acquire vet. 6./ Although this not that important just to spill this out for the sake of diversity. Luchs "suppression ability" is not functioning properly. Even then, it ridilously requires you to obtain Vet 5 in order to make use of the ability. I suggest moving it earlier to at least Vet 3 would be balanced. List of Units I believe needs revamp, improvements, nerfs and buffs that should have been included in the patch I believe. 1./ Sturmpio AT package costing 70 ammo. Everyone is aware of the fact that this the most underpowered and lackluster AT package in game. It requires a improvements/revamp/buff. I created a forum based on this: https://www.coh2.org/topic/91515/at-raktenwerfer-okw-revamp 2./ Raketenwerfer plays a role as an assassin which is an issue which many brought up. It should fulfill a better role as an AT support unit. Its current survivability is the worst due to the fact its the easiest to lose, meaning easy to eradicate OKW AT capabilities when its their only proper option. I suggest revamp, nerfs and buffs. 3./ Flak Half Track. Everything seems fine but its current accuracy seems to be its major problem. It hardly does any proper damage and kills only until it reaches Vet 2. I suggested fixing its aim only since that is quite a major problem. The aim should be consistent for its damage. Aim buff/improvement. Take away Vet aim improvements and just apply it by default to make it consistent. 4./ Puma, do not know why the price is justified in that sense when the new commander for Brits has a Wolverine "Achilles" Tank costing similar manpower and for 80 fuel. Even then Puma performs similarly to the way AEC does and I do not see why it should be 10 fuel difference. I think it should be 60 fuel. Price nerf 5./ Walking Stuka, its timing is unjustified and so is its price. Move it last HQ and make it as cheap as any other. Its current performance is inconsistent and worse to that of both Katusha and Panzerwerfer. The way it currently functions is rather poor its barrage system since it does not cover an area but a single straight line. I suggest changing it. Instead of shooting 1,1 and 1. Why not shoot 2,2 and 2. To cover more area to suit better its purpose. You cant achieve anything from covering one straight line! I suggest Revamp/nerf/improvement. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So when do Riflemen get an upgrade to six men?17 Jun 2019, 13:29 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2019, 23:08 PMgeneral_gawain Playing alot as USF lately and to be fair: Rifleman don't need a sixth man. Its Ostheer and Soviets that struggle to keep pace in infantry battles with especially OKW and USF and UKF to a lesser degree. Well said! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AT / Raktenwerfer OKW revamp17 Jun 2019, 13:26 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2019, 21:44 PMLoopDloop Buff range a bit (not as much as other at guns though), remove retreat, mayyybe make it 5 men would be a good solution IMO. That way it can't go on commando raids and assassinate katyushas and stuff anymore, and can't just take potshots way up front and retreat with little to no risk at all since they're 4 men retreating at full or near full health. That's IMO the most annoying thing about playing against it, and buffing range and maybe 5th man would make it more survivable, both to offset the loss of retreat and to make it a bit less frustrating to use. Yeah, it has to stop playing the role as an assassin. It needs to change into a regular proper supportive AT weapon. For both in Axis and Allies favour. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander Update Patch June 14th17 Jun 2019, 13:24 PM I am glad that Ostwind is fixed after all this time. At least it is a viable option now! In: COH2 Balance
