Thread: USF radical design changes ideas24 Oct 2018, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Oct 2018, 10:27 AMEsxile Sadly, yes I know. I think there's still chance to make some changes, but not in the same scale as say the OKW rework. I think you need to maintain the same "framework" while adjusting small bits which can give you different timings and accessibility of the units. 1-Swapping units from tiers. This one i think is the most tame one and the one most likely to be used. That been said, the only combination i could see be done is: Cpt: 50cal, Pack Howi, Stuart LT: M20, AT gun, AA HT From here on out, i think the free officer system needs to be adjusted. Which makes things more complicated. 2-Making tech cheaper, while removing free officers. This would be mostly a mp based thing. 3-Same as point 2, but locking down certain shock units behind a further tech upgrade. For example: in the current roster, locking down AA HT/Stuart and later on Sherman/Jackson. In the case of the major, this is for improving the timing of certain call in vehicles.

Thread: USF radical design changes ideas24 Oct 2018, 13:59 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 10:39 AMLago USF's current tier holes are a result of patches, not the original design. When USF came out, Bazookas could snipe infantry models, meaning a bazooka blob was fully capable of AT. Lieutenant Tier could zook up all their infantry and suffer little for it. Captain Tier had an anti-infantry powerhouse in the form of the old Stuart and a suppression platform in the form of the old Pack Howitzer. What are you talking about? -Comment abouts zook is true but the rest is simple false. -No one bothered with Cpt tier and USF play was basically Rifles>LT>Major>Sherman. Mix up either M20 against OH or AAHT to counter either Flak HT or for more heavy early pressure. -Most if not all USF support weapons had been bugged from release. Even if the USF .50 cal was stronger (someone swap the 25% RA for +25% accuracy lul) it was a 4man MG with deathloop. The USF AT gun had crap penetration and a bugged paper crew. -ORIGINAL Stuart was a completely crap unit. It took several buffs and patches (most important was HP) before it was a relevant unit. I'll couple up the reasons with the OKW rework which put the P2 into the spotlight. -Pack Howitzer suppression was added several patches down the road. Jump back to quoted post24 Oct 2018, 07:01 AMVipper The idea behind the USF faction was that they will have the best mainline infantry and very good light vehicles but less access to support weapons. The whole idea went to scrap when USF got a mortar, Penals become equally strong, VG got a ST44 upgrade and USF light vehicles where nerfed. The where designed to skip tech and they worked when they early game was strong, now not so much. It all started when they realised they had released 2 gimmickies factions which would never be able to accomplish any sort of state of balance without polarising results which were either unfun to play with/against. USF/OKW were completely opposite. Unless you were playing against OH (lel who played OH at that time besides been backbone support player for OKW), USF wanted to end the game at 10 mins and OKW just wanted to survive for the late game. OKW would steamroll outside of 1v1 (where they could get bullied by say maxim spam) if they didn't lose the game in the first 5-10 mins. The whole idea went to scrap, when they realised they also had 2 more factions in the game called Soviets and Ostheer. It's not just mortar, Penals, STG44 and USF light nerfs. -OH received a hefty buff to early game (mp-pios) and a T0 MG42. Because there was no way they could handle USF stock. Rework OKW also received stock MG34. Guess why they end up adding a mortar to USF. -Penals needed to become strong unless you wanted a complete dead tier for SU. We could discuss for eons by beating that dead horse. T1 worked as long as USF and OKW were not part of the game. Other changes were required (as buffing 222) which made T1 irrelevant for a long time. -Volks STG was part of a bigger rework so i wouldn't isolate it. In: COH2 Gameplay

Pfff, that was nothing. If you spawn as USF at bottom you would lose if the OKW player would abuse this strat. -Send SwS truck to suicide towards the left bridge/cut off position and leave horizontally. -Send SP to ghost barbwire the east bridge.

Thread: Remember when ...22 Oct 2018, 01:26 AM -Remember when you could stack bulletins? -And those bulletins increase HP and damage ? -Or you would increase the suppression on the MG42? When you could suppress 3 conscripts coming from 3 different directions and still win the fight ? -When a single grenade or lone mortar shell would randomly demolish a house? -Talking about indirect fire, every soviet unit had precision strike, which meant the death of your 3 man crew support weapons as OH. -Double T3485s and Tigers. Tigers and double T85s. Double/Triple IS2/Tigers. -Skillplanes. -T70 with crush and double HP vet 2 FHT. -P2W Tiger Ace and Windustry. Release Prostruppen/Assault Grens (the only unit which was nerfed to require munition cause they didn't know how to nerf it properly lul) and bugged FHQ. -Pio march spam (stronger than conscripts) and grens with passive suppression. -Damn double SU snipers with sprint and clowncar capabilities. -Zis gun and KV8 spam. -Close air support meta, where the meta was not spamming offmap abilities but spamming LMG Grens. -Release prOKW for teamgames and 90% WR and USF pawning OH on 1v1. -Fortifications residentsleeper meta (turtle into KT). -Greyhound Canister shell -Giving a dodge to a SU player so they could still clowncar sniper it. -Giving a fuel drop to OKW to rush a KT. -P2W v2.0 CalliOP -Saving 500 munitions with Scavenge commander meant that you won against USF.

Thread: About soviet shock troops in WWII21 Oct 2018, 23:47 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2018, 08:51 AMVipper I guess that in your opinion assault grenadier fit Ostheer "Defensive Doctrine" and shock troops the Soviet "Defensive Tactics" for the same reason, although I respect your opinion I happen to have another. Shock troops in real life and through out history are by definition offensive oriented units yet I am pretty sure that in occasion they found themselves defending positions and probably very effectively since they where elite troops. The real issues with shock troops in "urban defense" are not the names. I have explained them in feedback thread. Can't remember but does Ass Grens have smoke nades? (reworks gets confusing). 6 man with armor and smoke have a bigger defensive capabilities. Smoke a VP and force them to come to you if they want to dislodge you. In: Lobby
Thread: Countering JP4/Ele20 Oct 2018, 17:23 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2018, 16:41 PMHoverBacon If players are coordinating to destroy the ML-20s it should be killable, the same with LefHs. Like I said though, building AA isn't foolproof and depends on map. 1v1 and 2v2 maps may be too small for Recon to be shot down in time but I wouldn't say superheavy TDs were a problem in the smaller games and neither are ML-20s/LefHs common either. With less players flanking should be easier though. Just to confirm in your test, where was the ML20 on the map and where was the AA placed? Using Russian AA halftrack I have had no isssues previously although on larger maps than rails and metal. Bofors is bugged yeah, It does shoot down planes just rarely. On 3v3s and 4v4s shooting down recon is a lot more effective. Uncounterable Recon does exist but is rare, only OKW commander with it is special ops for example, but that's why the other counters exist like satchels/Il2 bombs. Also when taking into account other players helping coordinate to counter ML-20s, the soviet player will also have allies to coordinate with, perhaps with Priests or Sextons, in which case the soviet player does not have an issue. The only place an Ele has a place is on 2v2 and up. The common place an Ele/JT can be an issue are on maps on which flanking is almost non existant aka corridor maps. Road to Kharkov, Rails and Metal or Redball are good examples. On Rails, Axis was on top, Artillery was outside spawn/base between strategic point. AA was infront of it, 15 range, near the wooden house. 2nd position was near middle VP. As i said, it doesn't matter. You have either vision through the direct ability, when the plane is crashing or due to the bug of planes giving vision towards NW. If you spawn south, you have an even bigger advantage due to this. 3 Bofors wouldn't kill a recon plane, even if you could visually see the shots hitting it so i doubt it can kill anything at the moment. Finally, this is just to state that suggesting ML20/B4 against an Elephant (it's fine against JT) is bad, cause the most common Elephant commander has both recon and Stuka to counter it. AA in the game is and has always been sad. Their only role is to counter loitering planes. Single pass planes work 90% of the time in the presence of AA because they can deliver or start shooting outside of the AA range. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Vision - Offmap planes20 Oct 2018, 15:48 PM Short and simple. Just tested several OH offmap planes (smoke bomb, single strafe recon, loiter recon, single AT strafe (which not sure if it should have)) , but i guess this applies to all of them. After dying, they will give vision towards Nort West (from original map disposition) from the position they die. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Countering JP4/Ele20 Oct 2018, 15:31 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2018, 06:23 AMHoverBacon As I said, they need to have line of sight to use the Stuka ability, which requires either diving the ML-20 with units which should be difficult or you've built it in the wrong place or defended badly, OR more likely they call in a recon plane commander ability. The AA will shoot down the recon plane before it reaches the ML-20 and they won't get line of sight, thus they won't be able to use the stuka dive bomb, or any other strike (e.g.-zeroing/railway arty), on the ML-20, meaning they cannot kill it. Nope doesn't work. Rails and Metal, from north to bot. Made 10 test with each allied AA (M5 HT, USF AAHT, Bofors and Centaurs). 5 been in front the arty (bot middle strategic point near east spawn) and the other on the middle VP. Best case scenario of aiming directly towards the plane. Bofors is bugged and can't kill air vehicles. USF AAHT is also on the sad part. There were times that the rotation of the weapon couldn't keep up with the rotation of the loiter. If it fired, it would kill it rapidly. Centaur and M5 HT didn't had an issue. Recon loiter planes gives LoS in a cone and 360 in a smaller area around it. On top of that, they keep giving vision while they are falling down. In all test, i had enough vision to use the Stuka. The window might be shorter in some cases, but I still got enough to use it. Even more, there's a bug on which the plane will give vision in the area where it died, aiming towards a specific point in the map, north west. This seems to apply to all maps, all spawn positions, all planes. Reminder this is only from the player picking the most common Ele commander, so there's no issues such sa having to "coordinate". Other commanders have other ways to bypass AA as well such as directional vector offmap or directly uncounterable flares. In: COH2 Gameplay
