Thread: P grens need durability buff9 Nov 2013, 00:10 AM Boom - just schooled the whole forum. I have played vcoh since the day it has come out, watched every single shoutcast from ATR, dane, frontline network, and RNP. Basically have hundreds of hours clocked on both games, so I notice these things. You can think im some sort of noob but the truth is I probably have more man hours invested in the games and see a lot of this stuff. Its all well and good to be dismissive of my points but weather you like it or not I'm right even if you dont want to admit it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: P grens need durability buff8 Nov 2013, 23:57 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2013, 23:49 PMsevenfour This list is just brilliant Next time you see pgrens kids, get ZiS-3 and SU-85, that will show them. Also I love the inclusion of ISU-152 and IS-2, judging durability of infantry based on the fact that they can`t withstand fire from these is just genius. Ironically enough, the biggest problem when going pgrens are double snipers and they are missing from the list entirely which I think is inexcusable considering even mines are in there! Sniper is no included as its a no brainer and its designed to kill infantry so when it kills pgren its nothing out of the ordinary, is2 and isu152 are on there cos they tend to 1 shot the squad making its die outright. Zis is on there as a at gun is not meant to kill any infantry unit and I see p grens lose guys when they assault these things its pathetic. Su 85 for its price and role should not even be able to get a single infantry kill as it is absolutely OP for tank kills already, and it does often snipe p grens and therefore is mentioned. Mines cost 30 muni and kill 3 pgrens on the regular, even wiping whole squads. Did I say zis or su85 they were counters? Nope. I said that they kill infantry ( which is meant to be the best in the game judging by the recrew cost) and they arent meant to, which is a joke. Wren fucking panthers start wiping out shock squads, or a p4 being able to wipe guards in a shot or 2 let me know, until then units from the list should not be able to wipe a pgren with more ease then it is for it to do the same to a pio squad. If that is not going to be changed then simply reduce the recrew cost to make them make sense - 30 mp is completely fair. In: COH2 Gameplay

Shock troops cost 40 mp per man and are 6 man squads so if you go down to one man you have a 200 mp cost compared to 135 for pgrens. So yes shocks do have a much higher mp reinforcement cost. IF they go down to 1 man... When does that happen exactly? Shocks should be 50 mp to reinforce as nothing can kill them that isnt an ostwind or vet 2 FHT. And those 2 units tend to vanish from the map in mid game leaving an unkillable squad that can kill any infantry. P grens tend to go down to 1 man from one single shot from t34... so no p grens are more expensive and have less field presence. If you can show me replays where they stay on the field for longer than 30 seconds in any sort of multi unit engagement ill be a happy man. The other thing is these are meant to double as anti tank inf which is the biggest joke as it 120 muni for at weapons, and they have the durability of a pio squad, bleeding resources like crazy. They stay on field for like 10 seocnds before they need to retreat due to massive casualties and dont even get a chance to take on a single tank its pathetic. The guards are hands down better in this role as even with the low damage to vehicles, they live lone enough to do something and are a huge nuisance to any tank or vehicle on the field.

If this by price is meant to be the games premier infantry then they should be able to shred any infatry based unit in the game that isnt a shock troop or mg. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: P grens need durability buff8 Nov 2013, 23:20 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Nov 2013, 23:13 PMMyMe It's not like they have armor or mow down anything short of shock troopers while advancing, or anything. They'll only go down like engineers if you throw them against a KV-8 or something that would naturally hard counter infantry anyways. Weakest infantry in the game? Right.... They go down easily to mines, su76, m3, shocks, guards, suu85, zis gun, t34, t70, maxim, mortar fire, combat engines with flamer isu 152, is2.. they also happen to cost 45 per man and if they only unit they can reliably take on with minimal casualties ( I said minimal not 0 casualties) is cons then yes they need a durability buff as every other soviet infantry or even grens can take more damage and stay in field longer and cost considerably less to reinforce. In any engagement they will lose 2-3 men which is 90 to 135 mp to reinforce each time. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: P grens need durability buff8 Nov 2013, 23:07 PM As per the title - they need to be as survivable at least as the guards infantry or their recrew needs to go down to 30 per man. Currently they die as fast as engineers, its absolute bullshit to have a squad that expensive be the weakest infantry in game. The near unkillable shock troops re crew is no where near the 45 mp asking price. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Overpowered Maxim Video Evidence7 Nov 2013, 22:08 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2013, 22:02 PMThe_Courier Sorry, not convinced at all. If you don't support your MG, it's going to be killed, and that's perfectly normal. I saw many players that can keep their MG42 alive, even after the nerf, and use it to great effect all game long. Except for the maxim.. its a squad in its own right and needs no support. I said molatov has a decent chance of it, ie if the mg gunner dies, the next man runs in burns and dies, nect one runs in.. even if u hit retreat. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Overpowered Maxim Video Evidence7 Nov 2013, 21:25 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2013, 20:34 PMThe_Courier Maxims are fine, L2P. That's the only possible response I can have to that video. 2 riflenades force it to retreat, and it cant pin 2 flankers at once. Add in FHTs, ACs, snipers, mortars and rampaging PGrens and T1-2 has every counter you could possibly need. MG42s could use a small suppression boost, they take too long to make conscripts drop as it is. But they sure as hell don't need to go back to the instant pin machine of yore. Porting the VCOH values (if it can be done) could work, but let's remember that game doesn't have Ooorah. I also think any buffing of german tier 1 needs a slight nerf to grenadiers to compensate. But that's another topic. Great so 60 munitions can cause a unit to retreat, and gain vet while it does so. It also makes you need to group up at least 2 grens together diminishing your map presence. Meanwhile a t0 unit, with a 20 reinforce cost, can run up directly in front of a mg42, throw a molatov and have a very high chance of actually killing it outright. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: LMG grens should not be able to snipe snipers7 Nov 2013, 19:56 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Nov 2013, 17:03 PMBasilone Another problem is Sniper aim time is far too long. We need a decrease in the aim time with a corresponding increase in the cooldown. A delicate 360mp 1-2 man unit needs that added control, its just depressing to watch them track the target for 2-3 seconds before taking their first shot. I miss the days when you could charge a MG and if you timed the snipe right you could just run right up to him. Now I don't even think they shoot the model you click on. Besides the RNG countersniping and the camo everywhere mechanic I much preferred the way snipers performed in coh1 because you had much more of an impact on how they handled. For example you could even individually target Grens without the shreks so that the cooldown wouldn't cycle when passed off to the next man. Now they just plug away at random. :/ I agree, seems nothing is as good in coh2 as it was in vcoh, game mechanics wise that is. They are still working with a really rough game and instead of focusing on minutiae balance changes they need to make sure the game mechanics are spot on before they move into the small stuff.
