Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 15 Oct 2015, 22:07 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2015, 22:03 PMdaspoulos You greatly under estimate the price of tommies. IS aren't some crappy overpriced 4 man squad. They are extremely good even at 4 men. 30 is more appropriate, 28 is slightly too cheap but its not a big deal. assuming that one tommies is equal to one grenadier, it still means that a 4 men tommies squad should be 240 mp, not 280. the british pay extra in the beginning for the possibility of upgrading into a 5 men squad, in addition to the upgrade itself. The wehr doesn't get the benefit of a 5th man upgrade, but they don't have to worry about an overcharged squad either. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 15 Oct 2015, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2015, 21:47 PMdaspoulos is WILL be 28 mp per model, which is less than grens. Did you read the patchnotes? The point is that the british are paying the price for a 5 men infantry section in the beginning, even though the infantry sections are only 4 men by default. It is only when they british buy the squad size upgrade that the tommies squad are truly worth 280mp. By comparison the wehr who pay the straight 240 mp for a 4 men grenadier squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Brit Mid to Late Game Healing15 Oct 2015, 20:52 PM the medical kit is the cheapest healing upgrade in the game and it's attached to your line infantry, of which you should have at least two or three. Yes, it's annoying having to sit out two squad at once if you're trying to healing, but it's one of the most mobile heal in the game and you don't need to pay upkeep for it. By comparison the ambulance takes up 4 pop and will cut into the final army count in the late game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Does the T-34/76 need love?15 Oct 2015, 20:42 PM t-34 76 is just bad. Its arrival time is a problem but the tank is just bad. Every-time I tried to use the t34 76 I immediately wish I was using a panzer 4, sherman or cromwell instead. Both the panzer4 and the cromwell are both excellent tanks that compare well to the panther and the comet. Ironically the two faction without access to an advanced medium in their tech are also the two faction with the two worst medium tanks (USF and SOV). I remember when the t34 76 was actually useful for about when their reload were unintentionally buffed. The t34 have been junk ever since that particular bug was fixed. Just decrease the reload time by about one second and the t34 will be fine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 15 Oct 2015, 20:29 PM First of all, the british "pay" for that 5th men by having a vastly overpriced squad in the beginning. In no way are the tommies worth 35 mp per man, maybe 30 mp per men. Even the balanced preview only lower their reinforcement cost, not the squad purchase price. This means that the british are paying for a 5 men squad in the beginning for a 4 men squad. the wehr doesn't have this mechanic in place. If you want the wehr to get a 5th man, then you would need to redesign the squad for a 5 man or make the grenadier cost 300-280 mp. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: lets talk about medium tanks vs schrecks (AGAIN) 13 Oct 2015, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2015, 20:37 PMHat Looking at its cost and how it plays in relation to the IsG I'd say thats the case. It doesn't kill or pin nearly as well. the pack howitzer is actually good. It's the LeIG really overperforming In: COH2 Balance
