Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 16:55 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 15:29 PMAlexzandvar It doesn't have slightly worse suppression, it has MUCH worse suppression. HMG34 210MP DPS: close: 10.098, Far: 0.9919 Suppression close: 0.3564 Far: 0.1944 Setup time 0.65 HMG42 280MP DPS: close: 27.7200, Far: 6.1064 Suppression close: 0.4752 Far: 0.2592 setup time 0.65 Maxim 240MP DPS: close: 24.6628, Far: 6.7045 Suppression close: 0.2499 Far: 0.2678 .50 Cal 280MP DPS: close 26.8169 far: 6.0225 Suppression close:0.4950 Far: 0.2400 you even quoted it yourself... Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 15:29 PMAlexzandvar Ill say what I said in the other thread, play some more OKW before trying to argue the factions strengths and weakness's. I played OKW enough to be able to understand them. I did that back in the day when it was very hard to play but very rewarding faction. Not this blob fest it is today. I'd even say my understanding of OKW is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than yours, what I proved on multiple occasions, postulating for changes that were latter implemented by Relic in balance patch. I don't recall any of your proposal to share similar fate. For you balance = buff everything that is related to OKW. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The SturmTiger18 Aug 2015, 15:27 PM Than yes. Unit is over performing by definition. With the old ST you had to come close and made sure there is no obstacles so it was situational but still very good unit. Something as powerful as late game ability costing 240 munition to use for free and striking from the fog of war without any warning is OP. Use common sense. It doesn't matter if it has aim time. I was able to get multiple squad wipes whenever I wanted. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 15:21 PM As stated before MG34 dmg is lower due to existence of Sturm Pioneers. You guys keep comparing units in vacuum and getting too fixated on stats. Stats are important of course but that's not everything. If unit has 50% less dps it doesn't mean it should be 50% cheaper. That's wrong logic. You can't excpect MG34 to cost half of the value of its bigger brother because this would lead to unit spam. Imagine HMG that costs 140mp. That's madness. You wouldn't build anything else.

Thread: More durability for light tanks18 Aug 2015, 15:13 PM I don't think there is anything wrong with HP pool of light tanks. They either got higher HP count or different kind of way to get out when things are too hot. Increasing their survivability will result in these units over performing as they are designed to be high risk - high reward units. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 14:00 PMAlexzandvar The suppression is shit is whats (one) of the problems. It only costs 30 less MP than the Maxim but has almost 50% less suppression. Rear Echelons do more DPS at every single range than the MG34 does lmao Hey Alex, is there any unit in OKW arsenal you wouldn't like to change? Seriously everything is either under performing or not worth buying for you. You want to buff every single OKW unit there is! The suppression is shit is whats (one) of the problems. It only costs 30 less MP than the Maxim but has almost 50% less suppression. Yet somehow is able to suppress multiple squads, has much wider con of fire when compared to maxim and is more durable than '50. It's like MG42 with slightly worse suppression and weaker damage. What's that you're saying? It costs 210MP? 30MP less than standard HMG? Well I guess it's fine then. What's that again? OKW doesn't have any stock HMG? Is that true? Is there any unit fulfilling this role? There is? It's called Kubel? So MG34 is only available as a supplement to your army when picking specific commanders and it was never designed as OKW core unit due to overall OKW army balance? Oh, well I guess that explains a lot. I'd say MG34 is fine as it is then. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 15:00 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 14:04 PM__deleted__ Yes, thus raise its damage and have it as a potent weapon, instead of a weapon that can get decrewed in the blink of an eye by an American bar blob. REs with double bar rape anything. Also scale better into late game and don't make you bleed as much. And FFS!!!!! Pioneers don't do any damage at range!!!!!!!! FFS!!! Did I say anything about BAR upgrade? I said Rear Echelon squad. That means vanilla squad. Not to mention when adding BAR upgrade you are paying for it with ammunition. Simple fact that makes your argument flawed. Reading and Understanding are two different skills you know. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 13:57 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 13:46 PM__deleted__ You do realize that an MG needs to suppress and do damage? I never stated I wanted another MG42, I just stated that it needs to do damage. It is a machinegun that fires bullets, bullets should do damage What's wrong with its suppression? Was and is fine for ages now. It's the cheapest of all the HMG and does an excellent job for its price. bullets should do damage Tell that to Rear Echelon troops for example. It's a game FFS!

Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 12:59 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 10:01 AM__deleted__ Why have a doctrinal unit that has a MACHINEGUN, but don't let it do damage? It makes no sense. It makes even less sense when you factor in the current situation of the mg34, its suppression is shit. You do realize you can't have another MG42? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The SturmTiger18 Aug 2015, 12:55 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 10:26 AMAustralian Magic Except, 380mm Sturmtiger's shell is more devastating than Railway's 800mm Oh wow. I wasn't aware of that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The SturmTiger18 Aug 2015, 09:26 AM If you're doing it correctly you are able to wipe at least single squad ever minute. I don't think that's OK. It's like having Railway artlery hitting you from fog of war, without any warning, every minute for free. At least it shouldnt be able to shot through obstacles. It can't be everywhere, yes, but on the other hand it is very easy to predict where your next engagement is going to be. I've done some big whole army wipes with this unit back in the day and now it's even stronger. In: COH2 Balance
