Thread: GCS Balance Preview19 Apr 2017, 20:02 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2017, 19:51 PMEtherealDragon On the bright side, I think the fact that everyone is obsessing over the Faust change and nothing else speaks to how generally non-controversial the other changes are - so thumbs up (Maxim might take some getting used to but it doesn't seem bad by my estimation) A lot of energy burned out addressing wbp and gcs changes from a design standpoint. I burned out trying to voice my opinion on penal ptrs. This is to be expected. The mod team mostly has the blank check to do as they please at this point IMO. I know i am too fatigued to try and explain any sort of opposition to their will. I just want a stable version to build a mod on that won't be broken by the next patch so I can continue to have fun playing with friends on LAN. In: Lobby
Thread: Infiltration units needs a change18 Apr 2017, 04:02 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2017, 03:10 AMWilliam Christensen No... Last time I checked, only 1 with Kar98K, 2 with non-scoped G43s and 1 with Scoped G43 (The one that snipe wounded targets). Consider the fact that 2 G43 cost 45 MU (Based on the Wehrmacht's JLI package), this guy's package would cost around 70 - 75 MU (If we take each non-scoped G43 cost 22.5 MU).‎ Ah you are correct, thanks for the correction. Had to check and confirm for myself. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration units needs a change18 Apr 2017, 02:04 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2017, 01:53 AMWilliam Christensen maybe even full-on Kar98k for JLI as well) but to be honest, it should cost some MU to upgrade to their original weapons (Probably 50MU - 100MU). ‎ Three of the JLI squad members are already carrying the Grenadier Kar98k. Only the fourth is carrying the g43 that snipes wounded models. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW's early game over-dominance16 Apr 2017, 18:27 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2017, 18:36 PMEsxile I have experienced a full life RM on yellow cover losing or calling draw vs a full life volks no cover at mid/long range. I have experienced a lot of situations where Volks simply beat RM on short distance due to RNG factors or simply using a grenade. We have to be honest, voks trades very well vs most expensive infantry. No doubt. But keep in mind that both of those are extremely RNG dependent situations. Yellow cover only affects accuracy, unlike green cover which also reduces damage. Red cover increases damage. These are the factors I was specifically referencing in my post. Volks get STG on the field while RM need to retreat to their barrack Volks STG is egal to RM+1 Bar, which let them trade favorably for a long period of time. Volks get flamnade with the first truck. Volks get MG34 support from any truck build. Volks have Sturmpioner as support unit which let them trade even more favorably vs 2 RM/Penal/IS/Cons or whatever infantry you want. Volks flamnade is just a reverse factor on too many situations. I understand OKW need them for clearing building and flamnade are perfectly fine for that. But on the open field, it is just an OP grenade that deny cover and let you finish your opponent with your STGs. I am of the opinion that Volks StGs are rather problematic. I think volks should swap all their rifles for MP40s instead of or in addition to the StGs so they become an assault squad and not just Volks+. I also think it'd be appropriate for volks to have their normal grenade, and assault-package volks have the flame nade. But at the same time, volks do get outclassed in the slot_item department nonetheless. A couple StGs are nice, but they require rifles to be rushing in with garands, not overpowering them with BARs.

Thread: OKW's early game over-dominance15 Apr 2017, 18:04 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2017, 16:57 PMzerocoh Just look at this as example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCfmsWycFxg even though USF was clearly better at the beginning, OKW held his own and even had a slight advantage on the first 5 minutes. but if the okw player actually got the better engagements, this would be pretty much over as soon as it started. From the engagement you're referencing from the replay, the USF player stayed at range in open cover versus volks in green cover, then advanced through red cover to said volks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How is Mechanized Assault in 2v2?15 Apr 2017, 02:32 AM Probably Encirclement unless you really like Stormtroopers. (I almost wish they'd switch with Panzergrens in T2 myself.) Also, you could easily use Jaeger Armor or Fortified Armour and not both at the same time. Something like Lightning War or the Panic Puma commander might be good too, unless you load up on Elefant Bulletins. In: Lobby
Thread: Panthers need adjustment15 Apr 2017, 00:31 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2017, 22:08 PMButcher For exactly that reason I don´t get why some people even build the T-34/85. The T-34/76 is way more cost efficient and the 85mm gun still doesn´t offer that much more. Both tanks usually need to flank. Yet you get a lot more T-34/76s for the cost. Well when you've already gone Guard Motor... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer and T1 mainline infantry14 Apr 2017, 13:25 PM C'mon now you know that cons were never intended to go up against T0 MG42s. That change was entirely a result of WFA not taking into account EFA. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscripts y u so bad14 Apr 2017, 13:22 PM Grens with LMGs versus Conscripts with PPsH is still a matter of long range and short range. Conscripts with PPsH won't necessarily be fighting Grens 1v1 either at that stage of the game either. IMO a stock con PPSH upgrade should be fuel based and global. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A tribute to Maj. Dick Winters13 Apr 2017, 19:24 PM I think the inclusion and interviews with surviving members of the 101 were what propelled Band of Brothers from a good world War 2 series to a masterful portrayal of the times and conflict. In: Scrap Yard
