The M3 scout car suffers from a range off issues. First the scout car itself isn't very useful on its own, you need to have something else inside of it in order for it to feel useful. Snipers can no longer go inside (which is a good change) which is another nerf to the scout car. Now you have to get up close but the armor was also nerfed recently which makes it to squishy for its role of MG flanking with flamers. Losing the scout car is basically like losing a Conscript now (losing 230 manpower hurts) and on top of that whatever unit that is inside will die as well, especially if the flamer explodes on you at the same time. It is too much of a liability as it is now and could use a slight buff. |
In my opinion the MG42 isn't a bad unit. I think the reason why people are calling for buffs on MG42 is due to an overall lackluster German T1. Snipers easily get one shot and it is difficult for Grenadiers to do much vs conscripts until they get LMG42. As it is Germans are extremely ammo starved with needing to get teller mines to counter Soviet Industry cheese early on. Rather than buff MG42, I would rather see other German T1 units improved. |
I would like to see rapid conscription (the soviet and german versions) turned into passive skills but nerfed. Say 12 model losses you gain one squad or whatever number deemed appropriate. As it stands right now it is extremely lackluster. |
Luftwaffe is a good commander but I wouldn't say it is overpowered. The commander is only begins to be useful once you get 2 command points. It requires you to LOCK down a sector completely. If you allow a german player to lock down a sector before he gets 2 CP's then...there is some faulty gameplay going on. |
Company of Heroes was a game that set industry standards. It had top of the line graphics, sound effects and gameplay. This was my reason for purchasing the digital collectors edition. Also every Relic game I have played never failed to disappoint except for CoH 2. Poor optimization, many pointless and senseless changes that were made. They failed to listen to the fans. I don't think anyone wanted the current commander system. Company of Heroes 2 is one step forward three steps backwards. I feel very ripped off. The current state of the game warrants a $5 steam sale purchase not the $100 I spent. |
German and Soviet AT guns could use a slight buff. |
The problem with the IS-2 is the cost. For the same price you can get a few SU-85 or T-34s. It is not cost efficient. If they do buff the Tiger and IS-2 so that efficiency of the unit reflects its cost then they might be a little over powered. They should remove the fuel cost for Tiger and IS-2 and limit the amount that you can field on the field at a time. |
