That's a whataboutism. And even then missing the point.
Most people said CB needs changes. But CB showing tracking behaviour (and this is only about the tracking behaviour) is by itself not as big of an issue as some people make it out to be.
No, its not a whataboutism, its a response to Sanders93 verbatim sentence about it needing 8 years to be decided a problem therefore its not.
And hes absolutely correct that JLI took 8 years to become a problem and it was nerfed when it ran the meta for half a fucking year or longer. |
Only took them 8 years. I guess it's not that bad then, based on this argument.
you should stop with the bullshit sarcasm because CB WAS identified as a "no micro, no skill ability" when it was removed from other IDF units on both axis/allies. Why is it that you dont think thats the case for this one singular unit that can fucking base lock you on certain 3v3 maps?
CoH2 org players cant make up their mind on if CB is so easy to deal with and doesnt need a nerf or CB is the """"only"""" counter to allied SPG. Spoiler alert: its far fucking easier to kill 4/5 rocket arty trucks than any fixed howitzer WITHOUT using a fixed howitzer. |
I strongly disagree with indirectly buffing SPGs in any way. It's already bad enough on some maps where you DARE to put a HQ but one inch outside the base sector lol. I'm sure I've posted about the state of LeFH vs SPGs somewhere already at least once or twice.
ML20 is a piece of trash against any Axis team with decent capabilities and commander picked yes. ML20 also doesn't have to face SPGs so there's that. It prob needs a slight buff either way.
That all said, I have noticed it is a bit harder for the removal of fixed artillery in 3v3+ due to the recent IL-2/Stuka bomb removals from ISU/Jaeger Armor. Though when my ears stop ringing from other call-ins & SPGs I'll get back to you regarding whether CB LeFH/ML20 has suddenly become meta again.
First off, Lefh is absolutely meta in 3v3 and up because of CB being the go to counter for mobile rocket arty which is already in and of itself, meta. So I don't think there is even an argument to be had on that topic.
Second off, you scared of putting an HQ OUTSIDE of your base sector?? Try your base sector getting shelled off cooldown for 20 minutes on port of hamburg or Hill 400. Nothing you can do. Good luck getting vision on a fixed howitzer when recon planes go down with a light breeze, everything is locked down with 7 MG42s and your calliope or any other artillery piece is getting sniped by a player who just clicked a button and started picking his nose. |
No, you still could choose 3.
But they gave things like "enable firing on the move" or "small health increase" or "special grenade ability", that sort of thing. Only problem with them there was, you could pick 3 for single unit and that made the unit Relics trademark balance issue.
So I'm sure most here know but just for the newer players, a history lesson:
Bulletins and commanders were made as they are to sell as MTX in the game store. They locked the best units behind them and the best bulletins behind supply/real money and wanted you to pay out the ass for them. Commanders themselves were stupid expensive for what they were too.
In conclusion: bulletins should be removed and never return. Commanders cant for obvious reasons. |
I see no problems with Wehr at the moment, In fact I think Wehr is top 1 or 2 imo. Extremely well rounded faction with good mainline that scales better than anyone on the forum wants to give them credit for. Their stock mediums are great these days, especially with the brummy being the beast of burden it is. And the cherry on top is a fantastic selection of commanders that can fill any weaknesses you have or compound any strengths you have. Brits/USF are the factions to look at imo. |
Never had an issue with Airborne commander as a USF main(outside of the loiter, its a joke ability l0l). Its a little boring but it has its niche, especially in 1v1 and 2v2 |
The thing is, 76mm have universal shells, unlike the 75mm, and have crazy rof with radio net. This tank is also basically a premium medium. The issue is that you are megacharging the USF roster by allowing them this option. This tank is way too powerful to be stock, especially combined with a CalliOP. The reason is that it deletes any pak40/rak counterplay. Consider this, you have 2-3 76mms and a CalliOP lategame. Your opponent has chosen to rely on double pak40s. You use the tactical support recon plane, spot the double pak40s, barrage them with CalliOP, then charge in with your premium mediums and infantry. This is way too powerful. If USF in live tries to do that, they'll have to use the 75mm M4s that are stock, which need to switch shells, adding a heavy micro and rof burden, as well as are significantly weaker against enemy medium tanks. 2-3 76mm M4s can easily beat 2 P4Js, while 2-3 75mm M4s will probably lose.
Theoretical situation, sure, but the point is the 76mm is too good a vehicle to be stock, especially since it would allow USF to get other powerful doctrine picks such as Tactical Support.
Please don't turn pathfinder beacons into forward retreat points, the Soviet Airbourne ones are already borderline game breaking abuse in 2v2. Just limit them to 1-2 on the field at all times and they're fine.
Sorry but I think its a joke for anyone to say "the 76mm is *too powerful* to be non doctrinal. Have you looked at some of the non doc rosters in this game? 76mm would get slapped around by plenty of non doc armor on the other side. It would be much healthier playing the faction to get an actual non doc premium medium like all other factions do. USF is fucking cancer to play right now because theyre so pigeonholed into the same boring build orders with barely any flexibility
And no, putting zooks on your rifles or on your major is not "flexibility" before anyone comes in with that one lol. |
Nerf the LeFH to ML20 levels, remove CB and call it a day.
We don't need to incentivise further arty spam in team games.
I don't see the ML20 that much but the LeFH is in about 70-80% of the games I play these days.
I will be the fourth (4th) person to +1 this statement.
CB existing on LefH is already absurd since balance team has spoken time and time again of removing abilities that you click and forget. Its why pak howie was nerfed, scott was nerfed and other IDF was nerfed.
I also played three games yesterday alone that had a lefh shooting into my base and wiping vet 3 inf trying to get healed up with an ambo. That is just fucking ridiculous and should have been moved a year ago. I can't even use offmaps on an enemy base and that taking into account I had to move across the entire map to give it vision.
Nerf the LefH to ML20 levels, it needs to be done. at bare minimum it needs CB removed and have the ability to target base sector removed. |
Brummy just needs an HP/Armor nerf to take one less shot before dying imo. Power level offensively is fine in my opinion as well. |
My wish---
...
by the way,USF grenade bulletins not work on Ranger grenade
Ranger nade also has a pretty hefty range on it as default. I think its fine where it is without bulletins. |
