Thread: Sniper Balance25 Feb 2014, 19:24 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Feb 2014, 16:46 PMKatitof Now I've seen everything. Comparing SNIPER to a TANK. It might be a surprise for you, but sniper team is not a tank. All sprint abilities for single infantry squad cost 10muni. Thank you captain obvious. however sprint on the sniper is far more powerful on the sniper then on a script squad In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Assgrens are worthless with 320MP24 Feb 2014, 09:09 AM Ass grens start with a very weak weapon and the only reason they wins is because of that extra man they have. they really need an upgrade late game by replacing their mp40's with mp44's for 150 ammo. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: PPSH x3 Aftermath Update23 Feb 2014, 09:14 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Feb 2014, 07:45 AMsluzbenik Having played more, it seems to me the PPSh does help cons scale a bit better. But they're a little too good against Panzergrens, which leads to my main problem with the game right now: Ostheer squad wipes. Obviously if you have PPSHes doing more damage to expensive units like Panzergrens, then they are more vulnerable to all the crazy AOE in this game. I swear I haven't had a game since the patch where I was able to keep a Panzergren alive all game. If it's not the mortars, it's the mines, or flame crits. It's becoming really too frustrating to play - I can play Soviets and keep 4 cons alive all game, but Ostheer? No freaking way. Just too much one-shotting. If they can't fix the AOE, they need to redo the upkeep system to be more like vCOHs - Wehrmacht had lower upkeep than the US did, which meant slowly the rifle spam advantage turned into a US disdvantage late game (without supply yard upgrades). This would let Ostheer players lose a unit or two to the one-shot one-squad effects that are all over the game and still compete. The PPSH upgrade doesn't automatically allow scripts to win from PG's. you need 2 scripts to make this work and even then it only works if pg is attacking not the other way around. the high mid range damage of the pg's in cover or pg's combined with grens with g43's allows a German player to overcome PPSH spam quite easily. Also squad wipes with ppsh ages are is rare as the damage output of a ppsh drops considerably after 10 meters. in fact the best squad wipers are still PG's with their very high mid range damage.

Thread: How to deal with maxims? 22 Feb 2014, 11:44 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 20:09 PMJHeartless Constant hit/run and squad whipes cause a bleed. If you are having problems countering maxims with a FHT I really dont know what to tell you. I will say t you however that this strat doest work if any their are any guards out their. and one mine can really ruin your day. once again your suggestion is to take a very expensive fragile unit to counter a something that is incredibly cheap. Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 20:09 PMJHeartless I personally like the Scout car too because its sight range means Guards and Zis are going to have alot harder time sneaking up on it. doesn't the scout only get extra sight when you vet it up? Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 20:09 PMJHeartless Fragile or not proper use of a SC can really be a huge PITA for Soviet T2. And when I say Proper I mean attacking where they are weak not where they are strong. Your still relying on an extremely fragile unit. one mistake and you lost a lot of fuel. Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 20:09 PMJHeartless Also Mortors do the trick nicely as noted above. if the RNG god works for you then yes. but its far from a reliable counter Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 20:09 PMJHeartless Maxim spam is very very easy to beat with a little bit of Micro. Just as easy as MG42 spam. Can you spam Attack Move against it? No. I disagree the germans dont have the tools to remove mg's like the soviets do. lack of hoorah scout car and molotovs leaves them only with g43 as a suitable counter. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to deal with maxims? 21 Feb 2014, 18:00 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 15:08 PMJHeartless This sounds to me like you want the maxim as easy to kill as a molod MG42? As it stands Maxim spam is a gimmick and easily out played. They are designed to be an assault squad which is why they have such a small arc and high turn rate. If you start using multiple maxims you will need to get one for each German squad you are facing or they will be flanked. And if you have THAT many Maxims your asking to have a Scout Car kite your units or a Flametrack melt them. Last time i checked a Zis gun will NOT one shot a Flametrack. It will hit it to which you respond....reverse. In the meantime you will have causes a horrible bleed on the Maxim blob. Also it takes actual micro to suppress more than one unit with them. Rather than woops your both next to each other in my arc! SUPPRESS! Incorrect. small arc or not their are plenty of cut of points and choke points that allows the maxim to handle multiple gren squads. second even if you need a maxim to deal with each gren squad its still a massive win for the soviets as you will win nearly every engagement. and as said before try using a flammen HT and the guards will deal with it easily. and by default it is a serious balance issue that an unit that's extremely expensive early game is your only counter. and wth are you talking about bleed mate? maxims cost 15 mp to reinforce. one of the main reasons snipers dont do much damage at all. And shouldn't the maxim be easily countered as the mg42? after all the cost the same. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to deal with maxims? 21 Feb 2014, 13:04 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2014, 08:34 AMKatitof You obviously never used soviet one before vet1. German turbomortar is enough to fight of all maxims you need, but moving in with MG42 in at least yellow cover and flanking with gren is also a 100% working solution for me(I use mg, gren, mg , gren, gren opening). And then another maxim shuts down the gren squad. it becomes obvious the Germans have very little to counteract to maxim spam that are supported by guards. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How to deal with maxims? 20 Feb 2014, 22:11 PM I find it really problematic to deal with maxims these days. Tried the entire tier 1 and 2 of the Germans and nothing seem to work. Flanking doesn't work because of the maxims very fast turn speed. snipers takes to long. mortars simply takes a while and since the maxim is easy to pack up it simply moves away. Flammen HT is an incredibly risky investment as on at nade + maxims will kill it not to mention of their are guards nearby. anybody has any ideas? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 7CP 2x T34/85 and 9CP 1x T34/8519 Feb 2014, 15:32 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2014, 08:42 AMNeo Yeah, let's remove guns from Soviet tanks as well. It seems to go against everything Soviet tanks are supposed to be.... For once, we get a patch that nerfs what it should nerf and buffs what it should buff (with 1-2 exceptions) and people are already calling for needless nerfs. This is exactly the kind of approach that keeps the game out of balance. To be honest ram on both the regular and t-34/85 is just plain stupid and allows a medium generalist tank to be a serious threat tot heavy tank destroyers. this ability should only stun both crews for 10 seconds.

Sincerely, Noise of Carpet. that's very nice until you realise that scripts stroll right into the mg42 and Molotov it. currently mg42 is not worth it In: Lobby
