Thread: MG42 Post Patch12 Sep 2013, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2013, 12:22 PMtuvok wow, a 440mp unit kills a 240mp mg unit with no spotter, what a big deal. guess what, it's what a 240mp unit (grens) have always done to another 240mp unit (maxim) Ah, I get it. The hard counter to infantry isn´t supposed to hard counter infantry. The definition of hard counter is that you beat a unit for cost (aka 240mp beat 440 which aren´t used skillfully).

Thread: MG42 Post Patch12 Sep 2013, 12:15 PM Okay, three times in the last game: - Shock troopers run into my MG42 frontally. - Aren´t pinned after three bursts, only suppressed. - throw a grenade and/ or kill the MG42 with small arms fire frontally. This is too much. I know the thing needed a nerf, but if hostile troops can run around after two bursts and aren´t even suppressed, that´s ridiculous. The blob can run around unharmed. Just swarm the 42. I call this overnerfed, two bursts should suppress, three should pin. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flanking is back!!!11 Sep 2013, 19:31 PM The other side of the medal is that I lost some MG42s to single squads making a frontal assault right in it´s arc of fire. After two bursts they still could throw a Molotov. That´s not how I expect a MG to perform tbh. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: increased manpower on heavy tanks is a problem11 Sep 2013, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Sep 2013, 18:34 PMNullist Wat. Lol, I just played a round vs a guy called Tuvok. Weren´t your guys running straight into my 42 getting 3 bursts and then throwing their Molotov? Not gonna build a 42 for sure in the future. On topic: The manpower increase is senseless. The fuel decrease also. Imagine you build a fuel cache early on. It costs you manpower but you get more fuel. Right now there´s less point in building a cache - as I have the same effect already: More MP spent on cache = more manpower needed for Panther More fuel available because of cache = less fuel needed for Panther So it´s more or less like a forced cache if you go T4.

Thread: increased manpower on heavy tanks is a problem11 Sep 2013, 18:27 PM Couldn´t agree more with this post! Manpower is more valuable than fuel if you play infantry heavy. You will float fuel anyways late game. Atm. T3 Panzer IV is the best option for me. 320mp versus 600mp. better get 2 Panzer IVs out for that Panther manpower wise. I don´t want to decide between a Panther without infantry support or infantry without armor support when going T4. Better get some medium armor out in form of Panzer IVs that actually has some infantry with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Flanking is back!!!11 Sep 2013, 12:59 PM Just did that, it´s hilarious: - 2v2 - Both teammates make 4+ conscript each + Molotov - Run around - Profit Also: Can someone please tell me what the 10% more fire bulletin does now? How many bursts to suppress are needed now and is it even worthwhile any longer? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: @ Relic why was Tiger nerfed ????11 Sep 2013, 12:29 PM As i predicted, the fuel decrease and manpower increase for the big cats is rubbish and for me actually a nerf. Late game you don´t care that much about fuel. It eventually ends in a manpower race. Just sat there today with 240 fuel and 400mp and couldn´t get out a Panther. Tried saving more but then I had to reinforce my PG´s and ended up on 100mp again. Then the next infantry wave had to be reinforced. Ended with me losing the game as I never had 600 (it was 440 before) fricking mp for that Panther. Oh, game ended with me having 350 fuel. With the old costs I would have just gotten out one Panther. Revert the cost again or make it something in between (500mp/145 fuel)... It´s also strange that the Panther costs 130 fuel per vehicle just like a T-34/85. As of now the Panther is not worth 600mp.

Thread: SU-85; The Thread11 Sep 2013, 12:23 PM About time the thing got a real nerf. Two of them still lock down whole areas for German tanks. The range is still the same. Park some conscripts near them and you are fine. No warping out of the zone any longer, which is fine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter or Spring Maps [Developer]11 Sep 2013, 00:34 AM Summer maps are better, hands down! Winter maps are slow paced, have those annoying blizzards that can totally delay your next offensive and you are just waiting for that storm to pass. If you then move around make sure you don´t step into the deep snow and crawl your way to the enemy. There´s a reason I have only winter maps vetoed in the menu. Summer maps on the other hand remind me of Coh1. Fluid and fast paced battles, lots of action and no silly interruptions between combat. Last but not least the camouflage schemes for vehicles are prettier on summer maps. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: @ Relic why was Tiger nerfed ????10 Sep 2013, 19:53 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Sep 2013, 19:35 PMEnkidu I do like the increased accuracy for grens at range though, guess we'll just have to see how it plays out. So they are supposed to be used like Volksgrenadiers vs. Riflemen in Coh1? Keeping the range at maximum? Sry for the offtopic. In: COH2 Balance
