Thread: how about adding new features like..13 Dec 2013, 07:30 AM 1. Yes why not. 2. Definitely needed! 3. I don't really care about my rank but why not. 4. I suppose you refer to the Tiger Ace?! I disliked it from the second I heard about it. It should be a normal vet 3 Tiger and the call-in mechanic should work similiar to the King Tiger in vCoH In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: g43 counter12 Dec 2013, 22:05 PM I usually try to avoid engagements with them unless I have a clear advantage. I try to make him spend muni on different stuff as well as I try to harass his muni-point. For methods to actually kill them I point to Aerohank's post (and add Shocktroops). In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Patch Notes Discussion (Dec. 10th)12 Dec 2013, 13:26 PM All in all the patch is great! The only thing I'm undecided about is the ppsh-change. I guess I'll have to play some more games to make my final opinion. In: COH2 Balance

Before if microed correctly,they would've put a good fight against LMGGrens,PGrens and G43Grens...Now whatever you do,they are minced meat... I still fail to see your issue. As far as I know cons have not been nerfed, grens have not been buffed also g43s and lmgs remained unchanged. So did you always go with a ppsh commander pre patch? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Patch Notes Discussion (Dec. 10th)12 Dec 2013, 10:40 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2013, 09:36 AMc r u C e Please play with them before making comments that they are "baseline" and they soft counter everything...before patch I wasn't using them incorrectly Pre-patch PPsh made them decent,now they are just bad... My standard soviet build includes at least 3x cons and I have yet to find someone that doesn't use them because of their "uselesness". At-nades can cripple every german vehicle up to t3 reliably, molotovs work perfect both against infantry and weapon teams, oorraah makes flanking a lot easier, in the late game you can use them to reinforce your weapon teams, so so yes they are basline soviet infantry and yes they can softcounter a lot of stuff. Don't send cons head on into a firefight with upgraded or superior infantry. If you have trouble dealing with G43's just go here In: COH2 Balance
Thread: PTRS as an optional upgrade on Guards12 Dec 2013, 09:04 AM I don't see any reason for such a change. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Patch Notes Discussion (Dec. 10th)12 Dec 2013, 08:57 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2013, 08:43 AMTurtle Apparently PGrens do wonders against anything, their high damage and reduced building buffs means they don't even need to throw grenades into buildings now, they just walk up and fire into the windows. I laugh at all the people whining about PPSHs being everywhere. They will, but it's countered by the MG42 buff they all wanted, and by a tweaking of how PPSHs work. Don't want to be overrun by conscripts with PPSHs? Use the MG42 safe in the knowlege that the Soviet player won't have the munitions to toss those petrol bombs, if they do, it's one less PPSH equipped unit for bit. As I've said in other threads, while stats don't lie, people are just as easily able to lie to themselves and others using stats. PPSHs will still be effective, they'll just be used in different ways to access that effectiveness. I have yet to play the Germans post patch. But I'm also pretty sure that the building cover and mg42 changes will compensate for the earlier and cheaper ppsh. In: COH2 Balance

If they are useless to you, you are doing something wrong. For 240 mp you'll get a solid basline Infantry unit that can be upgraded to soft counter pretty much everything and does excellent service when it comes to flanking manoeuvres. In: COH2 Balance

And guards with LMG is much more better versus infantry. I personaly prefere place some mines. ;-) A Panzer IV is hardly part of the early game... And if I want an early infantry counter I'll go for maxims, sniper, penals or ppsh cons (depending on what commander I use). I rarely ever upgrade my guards before the first "real" german tank hits the field. In: COH2 Balance
