OP: MG42 is fine. USF MG is fine. Vickers is weird (+dmg -reliable suppression). MG34 suppression is fine, dmg is meh. Maxim is underwhelming but hey spam and has anyone seen a DHSKa ?

If A has a problem, but B is fine, you dont say A is broken because of B. But hey, not everyone can undestrand simple logic...

OR you should, because all things are related and don't work in isolation. In your POV you think B is fine, but maybe B is not fine at can be one of the reasons that by comparison A is been bad, even if against C is fine.

You talk about not liking powercreep, but you are basically suggesting that as a solution. I'll rather tone down the power of main line infantry late game scaling so elites/call ins have more space to work.


@OP. Conscript utility is a meme. If 5 years of this game has taught as something, is that games are not won by utility but firepower, tactical decisions and cheese.
And the moment utility is too good, it's because it can be used in a cheesy way and we nerf the hell out of it.

Conscripts had free Oorah in Alpha/Beta (?). They used to cost 5muni on release. Look where we are now.
Merge is less desirable when conscripts got a higher RA and all elites power level and cost had been reduced. Reminder that original Penals were 360mp mirror version of PGs. Even engineers were more expensive.
Sandbags had tons more of HP and all the issues we had with ghostsandbagging big chunks of large walls.
Trip wire was a garrison exit nuker and basically conscripts preemptive model killing mine.

So what you suggest?

-Reduce power level of BAR rifles, STG Volks (they should have access to faster Obers) and not sure IS double bren (i don't know as much it's current situation).
-Make conscripts start with molotovs but lockdown Penal PTRS (maybe vanilla satchel) behind current AT package and rename it AT and demolition pack or something.
At this moment with current Oorah and molotov cost, i don't think of this as such an issue but i could be wrong.
-My fear with reducing reinforcing cost with tech, is that it could make PPSH based strats too spammable even if they are now at 60.
IF you can make a believable reason to exclude it somehow from PPSH conscripts, i could see it working with -1mp per each of the first 2 tiers and -2mp for T4.
-Don't give them LMG. Don't give them PPSH stock. I don't want a late game DPS upgrade. But if you suggest something, i'll rather it be a SVT pack or better, just Guards Mosins. You could call it training or something like that.

not all cover bounce, and i get the stats from coh2db too
it says 6.3 aoe on p4 and 6.7 on comet

And you know what that number means?

It would be easier and better to trace a line graph to see the damage dropoff of the AoE than saying that Comet or PIV have better AoE.

The PIV has a bigger LETHAL AoE
80 DMG distance0.88 vs 80 DMG distance1.13

But the Comet has ways to deal more reliable damage outside of it. That's what happens when you have a smaller near damage (0.25 vs 0.75) but a better damage profile (by seeing the dmg difference on the far region (32vs8)

For some reason all PIV variants are listed with damage all in hold at false. This means it should be doing less dmaage to garrisons compared to most if not all tanks.

"Hello, Dzaara? Rutra? Yes I have a new challenger for you two...

No no you can have axis and overwatch. Map won't matter either...

Ah good we'll cast it live, can't wait for the match."

Show Spoiler

Axis number 1 duo are on an 83 streak. Someone remembered the name of the ones who had around 142 winstreak in the past ?

I am in support of small changes (and I have been advocating them for years now). Keep it small and eventually you will find the right values without breaking things.

The overnerf overbuf circle has going for far too long from Relic and I was actually unpleasantly supersized when it was continued when the community got involved in the patches.

+1

On the other hand, i understand why game design wise, over nerf and over buffs "work" better in some cases.

Alot of the so called "OP" stats ppl claim the JLI, has, they've had for the past 4 years, why wernt they OP then too?

What the mod team is doing excacly right, trying to find the sweet spot between when they were OP and never used where as thes weeboos want to triple nerf it into oblivion, ffs limited to 1? ridiculous

AAAAnd let's not exaggerate into the other direction. They have seen use, in different patches, specially when Scavenge was THE meta.
Even if the Ostwind was not THE vehicle for OKW, in the original 6 commander release, it still saw plenty of action as a Tier 2 commander due to grenade volley and been the only commander with a "decent" offmap to kill artillery.

They saw way less use when Volks got access to snare + STG44.

Compound reasons which made them OP:

CP requirement from 2 to 1.
-Must buy their sniper rifle for 45 munitions. Requires 1 truck to be deployed.
-Squad cost from 300 to 250.
-Reinforce from 37 to 31
-Reinforce time from 7.5 to 6
-Salvage ability now available; replaced by Thorough Salvage in Scavenge Doctrine.
-Veterancy requirements from 660/1320/2240/3520/4400 to 520/1040/2080/3120/3970
-Camouflage is now available at Veterancy 0
-Now has First-Strike Bonuses; increases accuracy by 50% for 5 seconds.
-JLI G43 Sniper Rifle light and heavy cover accuracy modifiers from 0.5 to 0.9.
-JLI G43 Sniper Rifle garrison accuracy modifiers from 0.5 to 0.9

It's basically a completely new unit.
