I wonder what kind of genius at lelic though of giving maxim smallest firing arc in the first place considering it always had worst supression. Maybe it's relic from time when it could packup and setup quickly but thats irrelevant for long while.
In addition, the Soviet field of barbed wire was a companion to Maxim. If someone tries to make a flanking bypass, he will slow down in the wire and Maxim will easily turn around at this time. But as usual, something happened, the wire was removed from the game and Maxim is now like an unnecessary child
How could the Italians possibly be OP when their armor development never advanced beyond 1942? Italy was barely a factor in 1943 onward due to the whole thing about them surrendering. Italians would be a useless faction in CoH2 because they have no late-game. Literally, since they were toppled in 43 and the vast majority of Italian Troops in Axis territory were disarmed and used as slave labor. What was left of the loyalist Italian Army was mostly sent to Italian units within the Wehrmacht. The Italian Social Republic on the other hand was so strapped for manpower they began taking prisoners and offering freedom (for military service) or death (refusal).
This is a game, and for the sake of playability and balance, you can always pull a really not strong country up to gaming realities. And there is something to tighten:
In theory, creating a playable and balanced Italian faction is not a problem. But this will obviously be far from reality, since it will be based on the smallest and best that Italy had.
Hmm, if Sega released DLC for Point Hospital in time for their 60th anniversary, what are the chances that they will release any DLC / content for CoH2?
. 7 man increases durability, decreases reinforcement and slightly increases firepower in cover. A very big draw imo is 7 men can fully recrew a team weapon without losing the squad, somehting that could be game changing late game. What's more, RNG is RNG and 7 men trying to throw a snare are better off than 6 when things like KTs and Brummbärs prowl.
It comes late that is true but the dev team were worried about increasing the existing t3 powerspike. To come sooner the T70 would need toned down, which I'm fine with but many people here are unable to fathom multiple changes at a time
Yes, he has the ability to re-employ MG and so on. to be honest, it doesn't really matter to me. I prefer to re-employ the MG with a fresh squad, because the veteran unit is needed on the battlefield. But the conscripts are still boys for throwing grenades. All this late coming upgrade brings no qualitative improvement to the conscripts. It's just an upgrade because weapon upgrade is boring, nothing more.
I do not see the point in the 7th person. This upgrade comes so late so the Guard or Shock Troops will be your main infantry anyway so as not to lose. As a combat effectiveness, upgrade weapons such as PPSh or SVT are much more effective and finally starting to be a real combat unit (moreover, upgrade weapons come to 1-2 CP). So to throw an AT grenade, what their main role still remains, they can perfectly well without the 7th person.
feel free to PM if you want to further debate the issue.
Imo Relic attempted to portrait the early Soviet army that disorganized during purges that had trouble even fighting vs the Finns.
Penal were mostly not "convicts" of the criminal of the civilian law but ranged from dissidents to soldiered that had retreated.
So I do not really understand why some people are insulted.
Then Reliс screwed up, the conscripts have been wearing uniform since 1943. Also, the game units are a mixture of units from 1941 to 1944. There was no need to spray and the time interval. If Reliс wanted to show disorganization, then it was necessary to limit itself to the units of 1941-1942, even in these intervals there was everyone's favorite Tiger, which was tested in Leningrad.
Remake of Fallout 1 and 2 is very good idea. Isometric view ? I don't know. Maybe with real time action it is maybe okey. But with turn based combat it will be hamper new players into games. Microsoft now got very big potential. I hope they will use it properly.
Atom RPG, a good example of how isometry works, is a fairly popular game that copies the idea behind Fallout 1.2. Wasteland is a series of games, just as popular and isometric. Honestly, I don't like first-person Fallouts. Because the SPECIAL system is designed for an isometric view. In Fallouts with a first person view, the main focus is on shooting and not on RPGs (with the exception of New Vegas), so the SPECIAL system is a rudiment there. And the shooting there is very bad. So Fallout with a first-person view is not an RPG or a Shooter. They also lost the charm of dialogues and aesthetics of Retro Futurism.
T-34-76 is far from being an OP. This is the worst tank in the game. His cannon is good at AI but very bad at AT. So the T-34-76 in general is a big T-70. Therefore, the SU-85 is the main tank on the battlefield at the end of the game. His 1st veterancy is pointless. The T-34-76 is only good as a kamikaze unit in conjunction with the Airborne Forces commander. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's cool. Its price reflects its performance as a medium tank - which is the worst of the medium.
Hopefully this will be a renaissance for the Fallout game series, a remake of Fallout 1 and 2 on a new engine, in isometric view. New New-Vegas, and all kinds of other parts.
