suggestion:
revert the base change to the tommies, but keep the veterancy nerf.
remove the 40 starting fuel for the OKW. They don't need it anymore.
reduce the accuracy on the volks. its current dps is too high really.
replace schreck with faust.
|
the new tommies seems to hilariously under-powered. They stand no chance against either the sturmpio or the new volks.
The volks seems to be overpowered. The 2 extra damage do a lot. Even the US rifleman have problem against them.

I think fast luchs is fine, now allies have to build something to counter an early axis shock unit
if people think stuarts and t70 were fast, wait until they see a 4 minutes luchs |
how were they nerfed? i don't see it?
tommies lost some of their dodging bonus and their damage |
Wait, how ostruppen are solution if grens are scaling bad?
the same way soviet manage with their conscript.

It takes roughly half a second more to suppress than an HMG42 - as pinning certainly takes longer to have happen than suppressing and troops can manage to crawl into some cover to further slow it down while the Vickers is otherwise totally alike to an HMG42, its ability to pin is certainly compounded to be noticeably worse than an HMG42 (and I recall pinning makes troops easier to hit, so that might also be a consideration to comparing the two's DPS [heh, remember when pinning was just something that happened to people who forgot about the retreat button?]).
Indeed, the "advantage" is not without clear risks to make it more of a distinction than a clear advantage.
At least it's got "Best range ever while in buildings", eh?
and the mg42 got the best dps ever for 15 munition.

Vickers' is better at range >35, which is variably an advantage rather than a straight up good point (Suppressing enemies within that range is hardly impossible, but neither is it necessarily preferable to just suppressing enemies past that range which the HMG42 certainly does faster).
>35 is also where you have to start worrying about grenades, especially the rifle grenade which reach 30. |
vickers is a killing machine (it kills models very fast), faster vet 1 and increased fire range while garrisoned is good tbh
vicker have similar dps as the mg42.
The only possibility that the vicker kill faster is because that enemies are not being suppressed and therefore not receiving the defensive bonus.
stop twisting the vicker's lack of suppression into an advantages. If there's 4x grenadier barrelling toward me I want them suppressed asap. a machine gun that can't suppress is a crappy machine gun at all. If I want dps I will just get another tommy or sniper. |
As an interesting aside, the two scoped Lee Enfields also count towards weapon slot limit or something, but they cannot be dropped themselves, so they cause Vet3 tommies to start dropping other weapons sooner than otherwise. I had a 5-man vet3 tommy squad drop Brens when down to 3 men, and I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the scoped Lee-Enfields also have a stats downside somehow, like they are not affected by some modifier or another (cover, garrison, command aura, not sure tbh) but I don't remember the details. Does this ring a bell for anyone or am I becoming senile?
the scoped lee enfield being inferior was a bug fixed a long time ago. Now they are a straight up upgrade from the normal lee enfield.

The reason rifle's got that buff was because they have no non-doctrinal elite infantry. The same applies to tommies. Ost can get grens and pgrens by default and OKW gets volks, sturms and obers.
If your response to this is, pgren,sturms,obers suck, then the solution is to buff them.
Soviet is the only faction that actually needed elite infantry. Trying to create an artificial need for elite infantry by making them overpowered is backward.
Guys officers should buff riflemen into lategame
after having suffered through coh1 with its british super blob, I am going to definitely say NO.
US officers are already competent combat unit you get for free. They don't need to be more powerful. |
