Thread: Riflemen OP with Vet patch 14 Mar 2016, 00:52 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2016, 23:09 PMPutinist They needed infantry that scaled into late game. Not much to choose from beside buffing riflemen. Design problem The grenadier had slightly better veterancy but it only require a small tweak, not the terminator veteranccy. The other problem was the weak bar and the fact the USF depended entirely on their riflemen. Everything else is either poor or mediocre. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry vet vs UKF is broken14 Mar 2016, 00:33 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2016, 16:44 PMPablonano what is this? Company of Empires 2: Age of heroes? where every faction must be exactly the same with sligly diferences? because that would go down on british x2doctrine, defensive bonuses and racks; muricans decrew and racks; soviet 6 man crews and... i sincerely dont know what osthern does have. The point is that every faction has his stuff, deleting it would make the game just lame. the 2 extra level of veterancy is a balance issue. The british hammer and anvil is just their t4 research. Weapon rack is just another way to get weapon upgrades. The soviet mortar and atg are both slower firing than their wehr counterpart. previously the 2 extra level of vet was balanced by their lower income, but that penalty is now gone. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen OP with Vet patch 13 Mar 2016, 22:40 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2016, 22:48 PMKatitof Do some history lessons. Apparently you don't know why they were buffed in the first place. Also, since that time, axis infantry is stronger and elite one reinforces for much less. L2P thread, just like all the aaa ones. USF needed something, but there were a lot of underused or underpowered unit like shermans, .50cal, m8a1, or the 57mm that could have been buffed. Turning the riflemen into terminator just turn their meta one dimensional. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Double maxim spam.13 Mar 2016, 22:37 PM how about just increasing the cost of the maxim to 260mp? mg42 had the same issue and increasing its price fixed it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry vet vs UKF is broken12 Mar 2016, 12:45 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2016, 10:58 AMSirlami You talked about okw not having any fuel penalties and now you derail it to unit differences? I was responding to your post concerning the okw's lack of cache and the fact OKW tanks is more expensive. wehr can easily build cache for okw in team game, and the OKW tanks are more expensive because they are better than their wehr counter part. Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2016, 11:45 AMButcher Then they need caches. Salvage alone does not compensate for that. let's do something different with OKW. Allow them to increase fuel income at the expense of mp income via the repair truck. Something similar to the old soviet industry, but you can toggle it on and off as needed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry vet vs UKF is broken12 Mar 2016, 10:44 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2016, 10:28 AMSirlami Do you see fuel or muni op's? Also note that okw units are a lot more costly fuel wise? But i do agree on the vet 5 thing, should be removed and compensated with some other buffs. the lack of fuel or muni cache isn't a problem in a 2v2+ for a mixed axis force. The wehr can easily build it for them. Caches are an additional manpower investment as well. The okw lack the option to invest in cache but they can still use the manpower else where. the only okw units with a direct wehr counter part are the puma, panzer 4, and panther. The Okw panzer and okw panther are both superior to their wehr counter. The okw panzer4 have significantly better armor and the okw panther have a more accurate gun and better mgs. the ost and okw puma cost about the same. the ost actually cost more fuel and the okw cost more mp. (280 mp 80 fu vs 320mp 70fuel). The okw unit cost more fuel, but they are superior. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Obersoldaten tweak12 Mar 2016, 10:33 AM Ober only seems bad because the enemies are most likely vetted by the time they arrive. In additional, the okw player will most likely have a full complement of infantry by the time he's got the flak truck, making it more efficient to spend the manpower on a tank. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Need Some better Anti-Blob Tools12 Mar 2016, 10:25 AM the OKW flak ht is a bit useless. The USF flak ht is a lot better, even if it's more expensive. on the other hand, a schreck blob is pretty insane. replace schreck with faust and buff the flak ht to compensate. Allow the Flak ht to fire at a reduced rate on the move and give it a small penetration buff. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW infantry vet vs UKF is broken12 Mar 2016, 10:23 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2016, 09:30 AMPablonano Yeah, its a shame that an unit after getting vet 5, which is not simple, do his job properly Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2016, 23:52 PMButcher Jäger are a doctrinal Elite Infantry unit with the main-task of fighting infantry. Further OKW has two levels of vet more which is a bit better but also harder to achieve than vet3 for the Allies. In other words: While the loss of both squads is hard, losing a vet5 squad is a bigger loss as it is harder to achieve. Last but not least those Jäger barely manage to defeat the Tommies. Looks fine to me. OKW shouldn't even get 5 level of veterancy, their resources income are no longer crippled. Okw late game doesn't need to be any more powerful. In: COH2 Balance
