Thread: Balance issues currently facing the game7 Aug 2014, 11:18 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2014, 11:03 AMHirmetrium Which is another issue we haven't address in this thread. I agree that, at the moment, wipe potential is sky high and its ridiculous. I feel the best thing for grenadiers is to nerf their LMG DPS and improve their survivability with vet. Warthrone, definitely play some soviets and come back and tell us its still OP. I think you will be surprised. Well someone already suggested, that the LMG damage gets spread over the whole enemy squad instead of targeting one entity after the other (iirc this was Cruzz). Considering the wiping potential; I don't know if it's just me but I think the 120mm morter got changed in a way that it causes more aoe damage instead of wiping the whole squad. So when a 120mm shell lands bullseye on a grensquad it kills one maybe two models leaving the rest with about half health. I guess this is a good aproach to solve this issue. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance issues currently facing the game7 Aug 2014, 09:59 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2014, 08:55 AMHirmetrium Again, The_Courier has pointed out the weaknesses of your argument Warthrone. If you are complaining that LMG42 Grenadiers are rubbish vs Rifles, then I think you really need to go away and play some more - I feel that they are the most powerful, robust infantry in the game at the moment and don't need a doctrine to be relevant through the whole game, like conscripts do. Relic themselves have stated that Long Range combat, such as the LMG42 is too powerful and having a detrimental effect on close range units, and want feedback. I ceratinly agree that LMG-Grens are probably among the best infantry ingame. They are also pretty robust to all kind of small arms fire, once vetted. The main problem I see with Grens and Pgrens is that they are extremly prone to get one-shot-wiped. While this risk is already the highest for 4-man squads, it increases unproportionally once you loose one model. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: WC51 new 'M3' spam7 Aug 2014, 09:45 AM Had it used against me several times now in both 1v1 and 2v2. If you don't kill it fast, it'll boost the US earlygame in a manner that makes it almost impossible for you to catch up. As Ostheer I found it easier to deal with because of the pfaust. With OKW I would also recommend double sturms and wise use of buildingcover. The Raketen is too much of a liability imo. In: Lobby
Thread: Strat? The Motherland needs no Strat. Just GO AND FIGHT7 Aug 2014, 09:34 AM I encountered it recently in 2v2. Both Opponents went Con/OOrah/Molotov spam with a ton of municaches followed up by call ins. They built around 20 Consquads together, I counted them after the game. The sheer fieldpresence of this conscript horde made it impossible to get a hold on the map. By the time we managed to push them back we were at 10cp and thus lost the game. To be honest, I don't see how you counter this strat with a mixed Axis team if it's only half way decently executed. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Who else loves the ISU these days? :D7 Aug 2014, 09:28 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2014, 08:59 AMOZtheWiZARD Can you guys just stop with this Soviet T4 is crap nonsense? It got very solid AT option in terms of SU-85 and a solid AI option in terms of Katyusha. The only unit that's somehow strange is SU-76 but that's because of the unit design. The only reason people don't go T4 is due to call ins being better and more economical option that allows you to save resources and still get very good tanks. You're getting more for less. +1 In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: USF is not fun6 Aug 2014, 10:18 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 07:51 AMVegatry They doesn't scale well because their vet 3 only give them more damage output instead of accuracy like most grens, cons, and volks. It's reasonable since rifle has semi-auto rifle, but it makes rifle suffer the late game since most fight will took at long range and without much cover (mostly yellow or even none). And their vet2 doesn't increase their survivability as much as grenadier's vet 3 does, they are still fragile as fk. I would say rifleman scaled pretty well but definitely no better than OST and OKW. Grens are fragile, rifles are not. That's the reason why the gren vet bonuses aim at survivability and the rifle's bonus doesn't. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF is not fun6 Aug 2014, 07:39 AM If you manage to keep your vet3 BAR/1919 Rifles alive and are halfway decent at microing two Jacksons, then there's nothing you can't take on late game. I seriously don't see how Rifles don't scale well late game? I mean you have nothing to spend your muni on except the guns from the weapon racks. Their 5 man squadsize is optimal imo, you fit in pretty much every cover but still have that special dude that always survives the nade/tankshell/whatever explosive. As for the lategame sacling of grenadiers, their low squadsize makes them disappear pretty quickly late game, when the heavy hitters start rolling out. As for the USF indirect fire. Yes the Mortar Halftrack needs a buff, but the pack howie is nothing short of awesome. I build it pretty much every game and it rarely ever finishes the game without vet2. Edit: This is from a 2v2 perspective. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Retreat = Suicide4 Aug 2014, 21:22 PM The only problem I see with retreating is that sometimes units just herpaderp around and choose the most retarded retreatpath possible... In: COH2 Gameplay
