Thread: Are the new grenades over performing for their cost?27 Mar 2014, 23:39 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2014, 22:27 PMGinnungagap http://community.companyofheroes.com/forum/company-of-heroes-2/company-of-heroes-2-general-discussion/67-coh-2-changelog/page3 Bam. Done. So what does that mean exactly? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How the new Patch changed the flow and feel of the game.27 Mar 2014, 21:25 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2014, 21:19 PMSenseo1990 Flanking pios are a little bit hilarious though...The pioneer squad does seem a little too strong but also doesent scale well. That might need some tweaking but the important part is not to fuck up the Combat Engineer vs Pioneer balance at the same time. But then again I always thought that CEs should be a bit superior to Pios anyway. They were originally planned that way, but changed it back in beta. If I remember correctly I believe the CEs were a little more expensive, but where a bit stronger in combat. It gave the soviets too much early power because they would always beat the first engagment with the pios so they took it out. Seems that they are repeating a similar problem again. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Are the new grenades over performing for their cost?27 Mar 2014, 17:28 PM I think a lot of people wanted consistancy in grenades but at the moment grenades are simply stronger then they where before and consistently wipe 4+ squads. It is also made worse that now units are often forced to bunch up behind the smallest of cover or be wiped. I just don't like that most battles are decided by who throws the first nade. Back in vCOH it was a bit more balanced since grenades where a rather big investment, but in coh2 they come standard in most squads. And I think it does have to be said that the value of the riflnade has skyrocketed. Their ability to fire from cover and deny the enemy theirs all from a safe range is hugely impactful. They are bieng used much more then molotovs were previously and to higher effect and unlike molotovs or other grenades there is no noticable squad behaviour to indicate that they are being used.

Nope pios just became op. Saw a group of four of them beat a defensive line of 1 upgraded guard and 2 cons and only one of them had a flamethrower. And I figured guards would do much better if their LMGs where raised to 100 but they don't seem very strong in my experiences. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: German op abilities25 Mar 2014, 18:57 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2014, 18:54 PMJStorm Guards are 360 manpower and locks you into a doctrine + DP28 Light Machine Guns which are 60 Munitions + Button 40 Munitions. All countered by smoke for 30 Munitions but locking the German player into a doctrine. The synergy with Mark Vehicle or even the IL2 Precision Bombing Strike can be devastating but it's by no means overpowered. Make that 100 munis now for the DPs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: HOLY POTATOES !!! patch 3/2525 Mar 2014, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2014, 17:24 PMAurgelwulf The problem is the Germans won't have anything to counter penal spam now, nothing. The Gren LMGS move up a tier and MGs aren't going to be effective due to the increase in small arms fire as well as the buff to grenades/Molotovs(?). Tier 0 is going to suck as Germans. It looks like penals are quite different then they used to be. Lets see how things plays out before we start saying things are too powerful. In: COH2 Gameplay

It needed to be done. With T70s and SU-76s so far off it would destroy any T1 soviet play. It's also not needed as much since shocks now have much lower armor. In: COH2 Gameplay

Although, in the patch noted i read grenadier armor is decreased from 1.5 to 1, and no armor changes for cons. So now grenadiers loose big time to cons? Who knows with how the new stuff works. Remember the video where they took out a con squad without losing a single man. In: COH2 Gameplay

That would have been big news yesterday, but now that's the least biggest news. Grens 1.5 to 1 armor Shocks 2.5 to 1.5 armor There isn't going to be a single infantry squad that plays the same.
