Even with the recent price changes, the OKW is just steam rolling the brits. one guy tried to use an AEC against my Luchs. Turns out the 20mm on the luch can damage the AEC from the front.

If your solution is to fix the gren vs rifle match up, nerfing grens is not the way to go. I doubt conscript will start walking over the grenadier just because of a veterancy change. Shock and guard are kind of meh anyway. we are already nerfing the vet on the tommies anyway. In: COH2 Balance

Besides, nerfing riflemen vet will cause the annoyingness of the pak howitzer to be used as a crutch and an excuse for it existing as it is. (Sees further quote) I hate the concept of USF being a one unit army as well (rifle spam), but then we need to yell at relic for designing the faction that way. in additional, I would still say the grenadier's veterancy bonus should have been nerfed instead. the 1.4 weapon accuracy on the grenadier vs 1.3 weapon accuracy on the rifleman make a noticeable difference, especially with the lmg42.

Having decent artillery make a big difference for the rifleman. There are just going to be a point where attacking head on shouldn't be a viable option. Pack howitzer and artillery in general are critical part of any faction. pack howitzer might get less annoying but I doubt less powerful. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes19 Nov 2015, 04:30 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2015, 03:56 AMbraciszek I thought the point of the previous buff to riflemen veterancy was that when LATE GAME came, a player who did not go the route of a commander having callin infantry can still use riflemen to engage other vetted enemy infantry, or strong elite infantry. Did we suddenly forget when riflemen were inadequate infantry for late game? Or are we expecting USF's own rehaul to change things? Pack howitzer make a big difference. Being able to shell enemy strong point instead of charging them is a godsend. .50cal are also pretty decent now. the problem was that the rifleman was the only decent unit in the USF arsenal. As strong as they were, you can't expect them to do everything by themselves. Unfortunately the whole idiocy with "smoke and flank" encourage and perpetuate the idea USF should rely on rifle spam.

That's because they never last that long. The volks and storms are outright kicking their ass. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes19 Nov 2015, 03:38 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2015, 03:36 AMZeaviS It's so they can be on equal footing with german elite infantry. german elite infantry is a non threat. Ober is far away from their previous strength. Panzergrenadier and Fallschirm had always been dodgy. Rifleman doesn't need their terminator buff to fight german "elite" infantry. You don't except a 280 mp unit to fight equally against a ~400mp unit anyway. If the rifleman does fight equally against ober then it's a clear sign something went wrong. The problem was the grenadier's vet accuracy bonus and the lmg42. Nerf the grenadier's veterancy, don't buff the rifleman's own veterancy. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes19 Nov 2015, 01:23 AM more on rifleman veterancy: remove the terminator veterancy on the conscript and rifleman,and nerf the death star laser vet on the grenadier. the problem previously wasn't the rifleman and conscript's vet3 durability, it was the grenadier's vet3 dps. the 1.4 accuracy bonus on the grenadier will overpower the .77 defensive vet on the rifleman and conscript. 1.4 x .77 = 1.078 (107.8%). This is one of the biggest reason why rifleman have problem keeping up with the grenadier. The other biggest reason is the bar. Nerf the grenadier 1.4 accuracy bonus to 1.3. this equalize the two unit's veterancy. 1.3 x .77 = 1.001 (100.1%). although this would also mean nerfing the tommies's vet bonus to 1.2 weapon acc .8 cooldown, and .71 received accuracy.

Thread: Balance Preview Patchnotes19 Nov 2015, 00:29 AM I still hate the terminator vet on the rifleman. Volks is too strong against rifleman up until the point rifleman reach terminator vets and the situation turn a 180. That veterancy is too strong. In: COH2 Balance
