Thread: PzWerfer vs Calliope.12 Sep 2016, 23:24 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2016, 23:10 PMAustralian Magic Stuka is easy to dodge. Calliope is not. Yup, calliope costs more what what if you need arty to counter vet 3 double LMG rifles? You need to tech and teching to T4 in 1v1 is not cheap. Meanwhile USF player can get non tech Calliope and spend rest fuel of Jackson/Shermans. Well vet3 lmg blobs is a problem for another thread. Thing is the pwherfer was designed as a T3 unit, it was only moved to T4 because the T4 was barren after losing the elephant. And TBH the idea of "T4" unit being stronger is something that never really worked out. Since some factions max out at T3 level tech, T4 can't actually be really stronger because at the end of the day the T3 level factions still need to be able to handle it. So in actuality T4 ends up just being kind of different rather than actually being more powerful. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: PzWerfer vs Calliope.12 Sep 2016, 23:08 PM Why are you making the arbitrary comparison with the pwerfer and the calliope. Why not throw the stuka in there too? Calliope doesn't look that strong vs stuka which comes even sooner. Also I don't think you are giving the pzwerfer enough credit. Most people who say it's bad are trying to use it at max range, and the calliope isn't even good if you use it at max range, but the pwerfer suffers greater from it. It's also the only rocket arty that has supppression, so even if you miss and don't get much wipes it can turn an engagement. It also has a higher alpha damage firing all at once and I believe it also reloads faster then the calliope but i'm not sure. Most importantly, the calliope is much more expensive then the pzWerfer. It's like asking why the T34-85 is better then the T34-76. Also we've seen what a stronger pwerfer looks like. It wasn't pretty. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unused British Items11 Sep 2016, 22:52 PM Most of those infantry units were in the alpha. The commander abilities were generally more powerful but caused a cooldown for all of the abilities. Part of that was that infantry came with the tank call-ins. That's what these are from. The recon sections came with the valentine. piat commandoes and flamethrower sections for the crocs And demo infantry for the AVRE In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Limit rocket artillery to 1x per player?11 Sep 2016, 13:12 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2016, 12:53 PMkitekaze I actually feel relief when my opponent carries Calliope commander. My last experience says that any USF player using Priest commander is much, much more dangerous. Why do you say that? In my experience the calliope feels more potent In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer weaknesses4 Sep 2016, 23:49 PM I'm not saying ostheer couldn't use a few buffs here and there, but the current imbalance is pretty minor compared to previous imbalances. They even have above average winrates on all modes this week, better then usf. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF mortar still not fixed2 Sep 2016, 10:58 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2016, 09:12 AMSUCKmyCLOCK Oh man you almost had me there for a millisecond I guess i'm just imagining it when the go to tactic for okw in 2v2 is to head straight for the enemy cutoff, with spio>volks>kubel. Having the strongest opening unit is a huge benifit, and the kubel speed, lack of bleed, and caping ability is really strong. Rifles might be good, but okw can outnumber them early. General rule of thumb in team games is to not try to go head to head with okw for the fuel at start or you will get forced away. Put it this way both a USF player and OKW player go for the same point to start. OKW starts with spio vs re. Obviously OKW wins. Lets say the us player waits for his rifle. Now it's rifle+re, but okw's kubel can get their the same time as the volks because of speed. Now it's spio+kubel+volks vs re+rifle. Or it can wait even longer, now it's spio+volks+volks+kubel vs rifle+rifle+re. Either way the US player is outnumbered and must play defensively. They don't really start to get the advantage til they bolster their force with their free officer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF mortar still not fixed2 Sep 2016, 07:41 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Sep 2016, 00:50 AMCultist_kun Except OKW don't even have nades early one to take garrisons, except anti-garrison units require special tier, except OKW don't even have smoke. So it's not fine for USF to invest into nades and get their bar/LMGs later and get Stuart sligly later, while its fine that OKW don't even have a single tool to fight against garrisons. Biased much? Yes OKW does have problems with garrison early. But when they DO tech up they immediately get free access to effective anti-garrison on all their mainline infantry. USF has pay for ineffective anti-garrison and wait longer for a expensive permanent option. Flame-nades actually keep units out of buildings and OKW has an even more powerful opening then even USF, normal grenades are easily dodged. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF mortar still not fixed1 Sep 2016, 12:24 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2016, 10:59 AMFiresparks even that is going to be too strong for the USF' early game. the USF doesn't need a mortar to begin with. rifleman spam might be monotonous, but it's also one of the strongest, if not the strongest, early game strategy at the moment. Except that's not true. OKW has the best early game. Spio>volks>kubel>volks can rush any point on the map you want, even your enemy cutoff. They even get sandbags to hod it. USF doesn't really hit it stride til after they get their first unit after teching. The mortar was necessary for anti-garrison. Knowing your opponent was going to rush a building and not being able to do anything about it was terrible. Grenades are expensive and easily avoidable, they didn't get the job done. And while you might be able to play the avoidance game in 1v1, it's a lot less viable in the more corridor like teamgames. They can nerf the mortar, but it's existence is necessary for usf to be competitive on building heavy maps. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF mortar still not fixed31 Aug 2016, 22:43 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2016, 12:29 PMTheMachine As far as I know, the USF mortar is a duplicate of the Wehr Mortar with better veterancy bonuses. This makes it over perform since it's firing at 4 man squads when it was designed against 6 men. The USF Mortar should have the stats of the Soviet Mortar (20% less scatter) and not as strong vet bonuses. if that was the case wouldn't the ostheer mortar be just as strong against Brits? Just switch vet 1 with flares and it will be fine. In: COH2 Balance
