Thread: Panzergrenadier needs a buff 5 Sep 2014, 12:31 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2014, 12:21 PMCookiezNcreem He's saying the LMGs that are making the ostheer weak currently will be nerfed,therefore,making the ostheer stronger,even if it means nerfing the LMG42. No one will have a GREAT LMG anymore and that will benefit the ostheer since grens and pgrens wont get absoulutely smashed by vet riflemen BAR blobs anymore. They probably still wont have the advantage since riflemen are supposed to be the best mainline infantry in the game. Its the way the faction was designed. its just right now the gap is too big. And im pretty sure rifles without bars will not beat pgrens unless the pgrens are in open or charge across red cover to them. I know what he meant. Tbh. I think that´s a nerf through the backdoor to Ostheer. Riflemen can be countered by MG42 set up. You don´t have to face mortars and snipers or even maxims like you have versus the Russians. The US LMGs aren´t that much of a problem for me. Soviets on the other hand would profit greatly from that. They hardly rely on LMGs. They usually have to face them in form of Gren LMGs. A Panzergrenadier doesn´t get anything from this versus Russians. This would mean: - Weaker US forces... bad, as they already lack the late game punch. - The same situation for Ostheer versus the Russians. Only that you now have weaker LMGs. Panzergrenadiers remain piss poor. In: COH2 Balance

Sure, but who will be affected the most by those LMG nerfs? 1) Ostheer, LMG Grens: The only combat-infantry unit used, backbone of every game. LMGs are a must have. 2) Soviets, Guards: Doctrinal, and even then I dont always upgrade them. Half of the games though, you dont use the DP at all. 3) USA, Rifles: Riflemen are the strongest standard infantry in the game, they are strong even without LMGs. So through the backdoor you would nerf Ostheer - the weakest faction of the game - even further. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergrenadier needs a buff 5 Sep 2014, 11:36 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2014, 10:34 AMKatitof It all comes down to rifles having bit too much long range DPS and LMGs overperforming. Fix the cause of the problem first, not symptoms. Panzergrenadiers are under-performing. Your solution: Nerf Grens... Take away the last reliable Ost infantry unit. If you are serious about this, I´m just sad, not even angry. Give Panzergrens less received accuracy, leave Grens and their LMG as they are and we are fine. After all it´s a 60 mun upgrade and the only reason they scale into the late game before getting squad wiped. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Patch? Clear answer, comrades.3 Sep 2014, 18:36 PM I pray that patch is going to contain some drastic Panther changes, not only the price. Less dps than a Panzer IV and the health of a T-34/85 is just ridiculous. In: Lobby
Thread: Partisans need to be more consistent 29 Aug 2014, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2014, 10:35 AMAerohank ... but at least they have utility outside of combat so thats nice. That´s the point. Both units shouldn´t be there to combat Axis troops in an open fight. They should capture points behind the frontlines or overwhelm a lone support weapon. By no means should some armed farmers beat trained soldiers in open combat. Give them a faster cap rate or something like that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Donations-Helpings Hans27 Aug 2014, 16:33 PM Why would they nerf that? German Schnitzel and Bratwurst are overpowered at the moment. Especially with that cheesy commander that allows you to turn your Schnitzel into a Cordon Bleu. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Time investment for playing competitively? 23 Aug 2014, 19:33 PM Actually the biggest advantage you can have is coming from CoH1. I came straight from CoH1 and played that from 2006-2013 with some brakes. But I had some thousand games in those years. Don´t know the exact amount because of smurf accounts. But it has to be somewhere around 1000-1500 games played. And this practice is a gap that´s hard to close if you are new to the CoH series. In: Lobby
Thread: double US23 Aug 2014, 17:37 PM I kinda agree. It´s incredibly tough, especially versus Ost dual snipers there is no counter. On the other hand dual Soviets is unbeatable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of Balance - August - ID23 Aug 2014, 14:58 PM Soviets > OKW > USA > Ostheer Things that need to be fixed urgently: - Ost T4: Panzerwerfer reload time decreased, Panther needs cost decrease and a slightly higher rate of fire (less dps than a P4 - come on...) - Soviet T4: SU-76 needs some better AI capabilities, Su-85 cost reduced to 115 fuel again - Call ins need to be attached to tech phases - All MGs: Need to be looked at to not set up while retreating or the guys running to the MG and then dying again - Panzergrenadiers need a survivability buff - Pak 40 needs more (100) range - Elefant needs more range In: COH2 Balance
