Thread: Panther is under-performing for its cost29 Apr 2014, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2014, 17:53 PMOZtheWiZARD When will you get that Panther is now different tank than it was before? Exploit its speed, agility and range. No comments on the price yet. Must play more games. A hit and run unit needs speed , frailty and high damage to qualify as a hit and run unit. The Puma for example is a hit and run unit. suffice to say it's still is a good tank . its simply not cost effective compared to other german tanks. combine this with the greater cost to tech and unnecessary nerf to brumbar you have no reason to tech to it and just wait until the tigers arrive.

Thread: Panther is under-performing for its cost29 Apr 2014, 17:33 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2014, 13:28 PMAradan Panther is best allround tank in game. Strong, fast, high armour, non doctrinal. And you want more? In my team we use them offten and no problem. You need cover your tanks with PAK. We learn this in our games as Soviets (T-34 + ZiS-3). Your are still going to get better results with the p4. stugs and tigers. And it definitely is low on the damage output so its not an all rounder. With the buffs of the soviet medium tanks they should have observed if the imbalance persisted before they went overboard with the nerfs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther is under-performing for its cost29 Apr 2014, 17:29 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2014, 17:54 PMOZtheWiZARD Panther is more lethal than before now. The difference is it's not damage sponge anymore. It's supposed to be used as hit and run unit. If you can't utilise your Panthers you're doing it wrong. How do you use hit and run when it has one of the lowest damage output in the game? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades16 Apr 2014, 11:16 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2014, 10:50 AMMilkaCow Maxim: + 50% bigger squad size + Higher suppression at ranges above ~20 + Low teardown / setup times + More reliable DPS/SPS (lower reload cycle, reloads less often than 42) + Great performance in buildings (gains higher arc) MG42: + Higher damage (50% close range, 120% mid, 240% long range) + Higher arc of fire + Incremental accuracy + Bigger suppression AoE and percentage So generalised in one sentence: Maxim is good at long range suppression and against single troops where the MG42 deals more damage and works best against groups of enemies. Both heavy MGs, but their actual stats and profiles (and therefor uses) are very different. Comparing them is kinda hard :/ Out of personal preference I love MG42 on maps like Langres (Sniper + 42) generally I prefer the Maxim :\ RGs are a bit too strong vs them atm, but that's more a problem of riflenades IMO Very accurate and is the reason i prefer the maxim over the mg42.

Thread: Rifle Grenades16 Apr 2014, 11:15 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2014, 10:59 AMNeo This exactly the issue right now. The job Maxim is intended to do it cannot do because rifle grenades are too powerful against it. No you have the wrong job description for the maxim . neither the mg42or maxim are area denial they are force multipliers and as such a single maxim or mg42 should lose to a single scrip/gren squad . both serve well as a support weapon if supported by grens or scripts you cannot attack from the front without very heavy casualties. Once again you show you dont understand this game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades15 Apr 2014, 08:26 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2014, 21:06 PMNeo Thank the Lord, you finally posted a replay to show why you're struggling with this game so much. 1. Learn about TrueSight. The MG didn't start firing until the Conscripts were halfway into its fire zone because it couldn't see them... 2. The person controlling the MG42 had ample time to reposition the MG once the conscripts were suppressed to avoid molotov (because of its relatively short range). This is precisely the difference between molotov and rifle grenade that we're discussing here. In summary, L2P issue here. OMFG. you either have the reading comprehension of a goldfish or your trying to steer a away from an argument you are losing(not my vid btw). We where discussing why i retreat my mg42 if it sees script squad and said mg42 is not supported by a grens. Its very clear that relic has changed its mind how suppression should work. basically both factions can rush a mg from the front if its not supported. mg42 only work with grens and maxim only work with scripts/penals. and thats the way it should work.Both have different tools to do so because of asymmetrical balance. That doesn't make the riflenade op. Also displacing a mg42 is a very major thing. Any decent level soviet player would take advantage of that. And for my last argument : it will lead to maxim/guards spam with only the rng gods to safe you with lucky mortar hits. And we both know you refuse to acknowledge this because you know im right.

Thread: Rifle Grenades14 Apr 2014, 20:46 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2014, 16:49 PMNeo You need to move the MG42 back when you see conscripts approaching from far away through its arc of fire? Congratulations, you've just made it onto the official retard/troll ignore list. Have fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkXbgxs-fvU You where saying newbie? Nade is overperforming for cost, accesibility, ease of use and results. Wrong on so many levels. unless the riflenade consistently one shots maxims which it doesnt. a single grenade is not going to cut. if a maxim get hit you simply lose a bit of mp and the german player some ammo. But in most cases the maxim doesnt need to retreat. if a mg42 gets hit by a molotov all man may survive. but its still a fact that you need to reposition your mg42. And this point any soviet player worth its salt will use the opportunity to drive your mg42 back to base and you will lose a few points. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades14 Apr 2014, 16:33 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2014, 15:27 PMNeo The Maxim has almost the same range as rifle grenade. Are you suggesting that as soon as you see Grenadiers with Maxim, you should move the Maxim back out of the range of Grenadiers? Yes. i need to do the same thing with my mg42. Now, with the sarcasm out of the way, let's reiterate the suggestions that have been made in this thread: Once again the question is why do these changes need to be implemented. give a better reason to why the rifle nade is op.

Thread: Rifle Grenades14 Apr 2014, 15:19 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2014, 09:36 AMNeo How should the maxim behave in your opinion? As a support unit of course in the back where the riflenade cannot touch them. In some ways your correct . you shouldn't be able to send troops into a mg and then win. But at the same time maxim is a very unique unit that has never been seen before: a mg with high mobility and a very quick pack up and setup time. making this unit nearly as abusive HBsquad and Liberian in dow 2. At the same time germans have a piss poor amount of abilities to counter this unit. But to say riflenade is suddenly op is nonsense. the riflenade always did this kind of damage because relic clearly knows the strengths of the maxims In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Grenades14 Apr 2014, 08:00 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2014, 22:54 PMNeo I don't even understand how the most ardent fanboys would be in favour of such obvious disbalance. Do they not get bored of spamming the same units over and over for easy wins? You say its an imbalance but i dont agree with. and you give no argument why this is an imbalance safe for that you should not engage maxims from the front forgetting the maxim is not the mg42 and should not behave like the mg42. also you do not understand the long term affects of your balance suggestion. This is one of the worst balance suggestions i have ever seen. no reasons or facts behind the change, no long term balance oversight and heavily tainted by bias. You really need stop doing this neo. What game are you playing? Early game balance is already ruined with pio/agren spam. I dont deal with 1 wrong makes another wrong right kind of balance In: COH2 Balance
