Thread: Ostheer problems17 Dec 2015, 22:24 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2015, 12:39 PMeasierwithaturret Pak, fausts, shreks or mines (realistically some combination, you won't have the muni for all of it) are a fine soft-counter for t70/stuart. It doesn't make sense for ostheer t2 to be able to hard-counter allied light tanks. Building light tanks is a gamble because they have a fairly narrow window of opportunity and don't have much use in the late-game (stuart especially, t70 recon mode has some good utility). If you give ostheer the ability to shut down allied light tanks as soon as they hit the field that will just push light vehicles back into irrelevance. the US and OKW both can get their light tank at around the same time they both get decent anti-tank capabilities themselves. the light tank have 400 hp for a reason. It is to give them durability and longevity in the face of anti-tank. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ostheer problems17 Dec 2015, 12:07 PM 222 is a light vehicle counter (m3, m20, bren carrier). It's cheap only 210/15 and does nice damage to inf in the open do not waste time shooting units in garissions or heavy cover. I think it's very efficient. being a light vehicle counter is one of the most niche job ever. The ostheer are facing down stuarts and t70 on a regular basis and their t2 arsenal just doesn't cut it. the ostheer generally do OKAY against the USF or the SOV up until the point the stuart or t70 show up.

Thread: Enough is enough, fix the volks17 Dec 2015, 11:58 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2015, 18:06 PMAchtAchter I don't get how people still have problems to deal with schreck blobs. You have enough tools to deal with okw blobbing, demos; mines, HMGs, Calliopes, Kattyusha, Crocs, Priests, better blobs with allied vetted infantry, fast crushing tanks... Really what is the problem? Don't forget that people sacrifice map control with blobbing, another advantage you can exploit. How about we just don't want to see a blob steamrolling everything in its path? as counterable the strategy is, it's still a viable strategy. It was basically THE strategy for okw for the past year and it's still valid strategy in the game currently. If I tried the same strategy with a PIAT blob or Bazooka blob an axis player would just laugh. The next thing I fear is that a bazooka blob will become a thing if Relic buff it any further. I already saw that one clip of SPrice's bazooka blob wiping a tiger ace. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Any reason ostheer medical kits don't heal to full health?17 Dec 2015, 06:53 AM it should heal 80 hp (full) at the least. and probably a cost decrease to 15 munition. I can see the ability being really powerful combined with a HT, but the medkit is just too munition inefficient to be worth it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerwerfer?17 Dec 2015, 03:04 AM wehr t4 need a price decrease in general. The fact that it's unreachable in 1v1 distort the balance. otherwise I would decrease the firing rate of the panzerwerfer. basically slow down the rocket launch sequence so you don't get hit by 10+ rockets at once.

Thread: Do Falls need a DPS nerf?17 Dec 2015, 02:56 AM aside from their SURPRISE! ability the FS are crap of underwhelming in combat. panzerfusilier and ober are vastly more effective combat infantry than FS. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How much were infantry sections nerfed this patch?16 Dec 2015, 10:09 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2015, 18:23 PMZombiFrancis Since it's cooldown and reload, then a more accurate statement is to say that Infantry Sections suck at all ranges, but when in cover, they fire fast enough to make up for it. cooldown:0.375-0.6 seconds far/mid/near multiplier: 1/0.875/0.75 So, In cover: 0.375d-0.6s/0.328s-0.525s/0.281s-0.45s Out of cover: 0.45s-0.72s/0.393s-0.63s/0.337s-0.54s as the stats show, the effects of the cover penalty on the lee enfield are measured in milliseconds. considering that the bolt working animation of 1.3 seconds are far longer than the cooldown, the cover mechanic barely affect the lee enfield.

This include the incendiary grenade for pe and OKW. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50. Cal and Vickers vs OKW15 Dec 2015, 22:58 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2015, 20:55 PMLemonJuice I value it's stopping power against infantry. Killing infantry models directly translates to economic damage against the enemy. People also make it sound like the Vickers can't suppress for shit but I find it able to suppress on the 2nd burst most of the time. Plus once you vet it up it gets insane range. Use the engineers destroy cover ability to clear line of sight for Vickers in structures, and make trenches if there are no structures around it takes longer for the vicker to suppress than the mg42. The "2nd burst" for a vicker takes a pretty long time considering the vicker fire a longer burst. the vicker trade suppression for damage. At best it's equal to the mg42, not better. I would argue that the trade is actually a disadvantage since the mg42 is great at both killing and suppressing. With the vickers, half of the time it got naded by a suppressed volks or grenadier. a mg is a crowd control tool. Without good suppression the vicker make for a poor crowd control tool. Even if the vicker kill faster than the mg42, it's still not enough to effectively stop an axis blob. The vet ability for the vicker require a building or the british player to spend 50 mp on a trench. It's hardly superior to the cheap magic bullets the mg42 get. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50. Cal and Vickers vs OKW15 Dec 2015, 12:44 PM my guess is that they went with the .50cal for the coolness factor. In: COH2 Balance
