Thread: Why are p47s so garbage?18 Aug 2019, 22:34 PM Problem is also that Axis have way more AA on the field than Allies. Every pintle MG can take down a plane, two tanks with pintle MGs are a decently reliable AA combination. Even a 222 that survived the early game will take down planes for you, there's actually not too much need for an Ostwind to do so. Allies don't have pintle MGs. There are few AA units besides the dedicated ones. I think only the UKF UC with Bren upgrade can fire at planes and I've seen my UC take down enemy planes, but it's suboptimal since it's not turreted. This in general makes Allied planes last not as long and therefore effectively worth much less. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Assault Grenadier Spam17 Aug 2019, 13:25 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2019, 13:03 PMDangerous-Cloth If you actually read my response, you see I refer to free being no teching involved as you stated yourself, thus shock troops have free nades too. Don't come here and ramble on to me about trolling when I replied fully to your comment. You're missing the point. I fully understood your comment. You know, you could have asked for what exactly he meant with "free" or just accept the fact that a probably new player was not super specific in his wording. You also did not adress his question with a single serious word. Just mockery. You know, you could have been helpful instead. Disappointing. Now, before this gets further derailed, let's get back to topic. Write me a PM if you really want to drag this on further. In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: Infiltration troop changes and Infiltration Commandos17 Aug 2019, 12:02 PM I also thought about that. I think just reducing their MP cost is fine. They're very cost effective vs OST nevertheless, because OST has problems to deal with close range camo units, OKW not so much. Absolutely no squad costs more than 400 MP anymore since Rangers (and much earlier Obersoldaten) got a reduction. Something between 300-330 MP should be fine, so the total cost does not exceed 400 MP In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer Tactician17 Aug 2019, 11:01 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Aug 2019, 17:24 PMWingZero The double edge sword with Panzer tactician is that you cannot control the where the smoke will disperse. The Allied tanks can simply smoke to any direction they like which can be helpful for aggressive pushes. Well, it will disperse right on the vehicle? Maybe a meter or so away from it? There's no need to control it, as it's intention is to be used on the defense when you need to retreat a vehicle in danger. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Assault Grenadier Spam17 Aug 2019, 10:54 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Aug 2019, 16:54 PMDangerous-Cloth And you only have an mg, that is not supported by other units? Ah so no tech grenades are "free" now? Great, then shock trooper grenades are free too? Good! If you thought about it for just one second, you might have found out that the "free grenades" was meant as "no tech". I assume that was too much to ask from you. Better start trolling new forum members and then make lopsided comparisons. Great stuff mate. I'll remind you of that next time you complain about the CoH2 player base being too small. Jump back to quoted post16 Aug 2019, 16:38 PMZugZug Seriously, how do you beat this as USF? They tear up rifles, they run straight through HMGs, they get free grenades. I can't see a way to beat a half competent Ost player that uses them. Alright, on a serious note: I've also had problems as USF against this tactic. not sure what the best thing to do is. AA Halftrack maybe if you make it that far probably. Haven't tried an early BAR upgrade yet, could be a decent idea as well. Mortar or other indirect won't help you much. MGs only in small corridors. And I think you mostly have to ignore the CQC parts of the map until the mid game. USF is a tough one against Assault Grenadiere, but maybe the balancing of the next patch might change a bit here.

Thread: Obersoldaten upgrade17 Aug 2019, 10:43 AM Not sure about the exact stats, but I think the common agreement is that StGs -> short range, LMG -> long range. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Panzer Tactician17 Aug 2019, 10:41 AM Fausts are avaiable to every main line Axis infantry and almost the only way to deal with an early UC. Button is at mid-late game ability on a single, non spammable doctrin unit to keep tanks in place for your TDs and AT guns to deal damage. If we really start to balance a stock ability and stock units around single abilities of doctrinal units - oh boy, we're in for trouble. It's way easier to balance the doctrinal ability accordingly. Making a few second delay on the smoke would go a long way. In: COH2 Balance
