Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.025 Apr 2019, 08:58 AM No matter how hard I try, I do not find these changes useful for me. In defense, motionless conscripts are easy targets. In the offensive, seven people are difficult to find good cover, and if these are two squad it is very difficult, plus two units like to interfere with each other. So even with these changes for me, conscripts will remain one squad for throwing AT grenades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.024 Apr 2019, 21:24 PM I think this change is meaningless. This is a late game change, the game will be full of tanks, artillery, rocket artillery. And this whole system with cover is bad - the cover on the map will be destroyed and the conscripts will be addicted to sandbags, they become an ideal target. There is no sense in motionless conscripts, if their main goal is to throw a grenade, that is, they should be in the center of events. If you need to cover the point - the machine gun will do it better. All you had to do was leave six people and give them an improved Mosin rifle. In: COH2 Balance

I think it's complicating things unnecessarily. I agree, for me this is absolutely not a viable change. Build sandbags and wait until the squad is wipe out with Brummbar / Artillery / Panzerwerfer / Stuka. I prefer to deal damage rather than wait for me to be killed. In: COH2 Balance

The reason why their weapon slot was reduced to 1 is because they where OP when they had 2 Vickes or Piats. The funny thing is this, that neither before these changes not now this commander almost did not use. I play a lot of this game. and I have not seen this commander for about a year and a half. But how much whining was it. Even now you can give two Vickers to Penals, but no one takes this commander. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.024 Apr 2019, 11:58 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2019, 11:41 AMthedarkarmadillo I don't disagree. I've been bitching about the silly upgrade costs on cons for ages especially since they cost the same as grens and ever so slightly less than volks but never actually shine. But they are SUPPOSED to be about manpower effeciency. The 7th man and the changes therein help make merge more attractive, but a single svt does nothing for them at all early mid or late game. I think the 7th man should be moved to 2 buildings instead of T4. It COULD be pumped out earlier, but it would at its earliest match enemy weapon upgrades. We might then see some side teching for once. T4 could allow for +1 weapon slot so non upgraded cons could have 2 slots and 7 man could have 1. Small things like that that make each tier attractive in its own right and bolsters the use ability of cons would be great imo This is not a shine - it is a blur. Will the 7th man improve? No, that is why to the 7th person in addition there is a 20% experience modifier and cheaper reinforcement. Why do I need such conscriptss if there is a penals. Okay, let's say I built T2 and played only through conscripts, I lost them in the late game. I don’t have the benefit of building new conscripts, it’s more profitable for me to build T1 and penals because they can compete with other infantrymen. I will need only one conscripts squad to throw an anti-tank grenade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.024 Apr 2019, 10:14 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2019, 09:56 AMSeductiveCardbordBox Penals were always superfluous, they always intersected with other units: when the Penals had a flamethrower and bad damage SVT-40, it was 6 people Engineers in T1. When SVT-40 get a buff and a flamethrower was removed, now it’s just an excellent infantry squad that overshadows Conscripts. And whatever you try to do it the struggle will continue. The ability to dig a trench and throw an anti-tank grenade (because Molotov sucks and to spend fuel on his unlock is stupid) does not cover good damage. If this does not stop the re-tightening of the rope between the Conscripts and the Penals not stop until the game dies. There can be only one. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.024 Apr 2019, 09:35 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2019, 08:59 AMStark On the other hand if you want more mobile, effective in move infantry you can go penals. I would try to avoid any sort of overlap with concripts. If we gonna make coscripts too good in move, very mobile offensive infantry then penals will loose their meaning. Soviet faction doesn't have mainline defensive infantry, conscripts could fill that gap. CoverBonus could help making that real. So how would you change conscripts to make them worth using and still keep them unique? Or simply combine conscripts and penal and then stop this ridiculous idea of roles: if Mercury is a green cover, then conscripts will be more useful. Penalties are superfluous and have always been superfluous: Conscripts: main infantry and support. Guard: ranged combat and anti-tank support. Shock troops: CQC assault unit. Penal: what is it? They didn’t fit into the concept of infantry from the very beginning of the game’s existence, and therefore they invented absurd roles: an expensive suicidal assault squad with a explosives and good self-loading rifles, then for some reason they were given PTRS, although the Guard exists. Remove Penal transfer SVT-40 to conscripts, transfer the explosives to the Engineers or the Shock troops. And the whole puzzle will be folded into the picture, instead of sculpt pieces where it is not suitable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.023 Apr 2019, 09:49 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 09:23 AMSeductiveCardbordBox That's not how it works. Adjusting them to be better at one role and less generally good at anything isn't a nerf, just an adjustment. Conscripts still need a buff. Guards with no AT rifles would drop less guns but probably need their mosin damage adjusting. A CQC penal squad would probably need oorah back and a price drop, as well as a more expensive but impactful AT package. It's not as easy as nerfing two squads because those two squads are curtently the reason soviets are able to compete at all Or we could keep trying to find gimmicks for cons and call it 'utility', which is a fancy way of saying none-combat-duties. 7 man sandbag building is something at least. Or combine conscripts and penal troops, and you will not need to justify the existence, invent the role of the second main infantry unit at the start of the game. Which in reality were 1% of all soldiers. Combined conscripts-penal troops - the main infantry/ support unit. Guardsmen - ranged / anti-tank unit. Shock troops - CQC assault unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Possible way to add new units for the devs23 Apr 2019, 07:01 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 03:45 AMKasarov The issue isn't that it's impossible for Relic/SEGA to add models. It's that Relic/SEGA doesn't allow us adding models. They took out that functionality from the mod tools years ago, so it's no longer possible for us, the community modders, to add models. And since the work for these patches are handled by the community, community modders have to work within these constraints. And this is an absolutely stupid and senseless move. CoH1 still alive because it has a huge number of mods, with new factions and expanding opportunities. If CoH2 had the same modding possibilities, over the five years of the game’s existence, a huge amount of content would be created. Which could be taken with the permission of modders for New Commanders or created as needed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.022 Apr 2019, 15:37 PM These 7-person conscripts and a 20% increase in experience are relevant only for this ridiculous remote commander, who has disabled any retreat. It is available in mode. In: COH2 Balance
