Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 20:12 PMthedarkarmadillo and yet penals are in the game and need to be considered. also the conflict WONT exist with the new con changes. you know where they will conflict?: by giving cons polished bolts and fancy barrels and making them t0 penals. if you want a brainless spam of omni potent, packed with utility t0 infantry there is a faction for that, its not the soviet. cons are and always have been intended to be support infantry to allow the soviet to win a war of attrition. they have failed at that job for years, but that is their intended role. they are not and will not be elite infantry, or semi elite infantry. thats not their role. if you want that role there is penals. These changes do not give a real role for conscripts. They will remain needed in the number of one squad to throw AT grenades. And we will continue to pretend that the conscripts are useful, and people to console themselves with the fact that this 7-person change is a buff. And the USSR has no real alternatives except Penals and Shock Troops if they want to win and not to throw an opponent easy experience. In: COH2 Balance

The was time during these 6 years when conscripts spam was valid strategy and was used frequently even without ppsh. And it was also stale meta. The is why one should find solutions that creates room for more units than spamming a single unit. This game is based on spam, spam any unit. So this is not an indicator of the strength of the unit.

Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 15:44 PMblvckdream Can someone from the balance team enlighten me why we need 7 men Conscripts with cover bonus instead of a small and simple buff like slightly better accuracy for the Mosins or cheaper/free grenades, better vet, better RA etc.? To this day I still don´t understand what the idea behind all of this is if I am completly honest. I would like to know that too. because this decision was just made, although it was a good idea to make an alternative upgrade with guard rifle or weapon improvement, for comparison. But for some reason, this absurd version was chosen without alternative. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 16:50 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 16:43 PMthedarkarmadillo the exact same as we have now without the buff for merge @crecer13 you need to keep in mind that the soviet have a number of infantry options and conscripts are not intended to replace any of them but instead work along side them. if you want DP28 lmgs, there is a squad for that. if you want SVTs there is a squad for that too. if you turn cons into any one of those things you make the others pointless. like wtf would be the point in penals if cons had non doc SVTs? who is going to dump 160mp into teching t1 and another 300(!!!!!!!!!!!) mp into penals if you get a reasonable facsimile in svt cons for a much lower price? and the DP28, that horrible idea.... great, now you have less cost efficient ostroppen... good change. you solved the issue. wooot. much fresh, such buff. the 7th man reinforces cons role without stepping on other soviet squads toes. they are meant to hold the line and keep other units fighting, the 7th man accomplishes both of those tasks and also allows replacing squads to be less painful via increased vet rate and reduced reinforcement cost. I have already said this, in the penals there was no point from the very beginning of the game. At first they were engineers on the steroids, now they are just an infantry squad in conflict with conscripts. And now we come up with ridiculous roles to justify this conflict. And this conflict will exist until the end of the game, and people continue to argue about the buffs and nerfs of conscripts and penals, about which one of them is the main infantry. In: COH2 Balance

Or Will they just appear like ghosts? Many have already asked this question, but there was no answer, apparently modders can not attach the animation of a parachute from the American and German paratroopers to a different model.

Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 15:22 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 15:16 PMVipper You seem to be confusing balance issues with diversity issues. If LMG42 is moved to a commander the Ostheer faction will be completely UP and will only be playable with certain commanders. The changes to Conscripts is there to increase diversity in builts and not to solve balance issues. The Soviet faction is doing quite well balance wise, since it has a number of other options besides conscripts. This stock changes should be tested vs enemy units like grenadiers and not compared with the SVT which in untested doctrinal ability. Like conscripts for 6 years, they are viable with commanders who have PPSh-41 and new with SVT-40. That is, we will continue to pretend that the conscripts are fine and blur the problem with the 7th person and the cheap ones. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 14:55 PMSander93 And how would you communicate this to the player? How is it even really different from adding a 7th man that adds DPS (as well as durability and utility)? The fact that you do not need to stand like a tree behind cover, and it still does more damage without cover and in motion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 14:37 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 14:30 PMVipper You are comparing a stock ability with a commander ability and that simply leads to the wrong conclusions. One could argue that compared to command panther, Panther is useless so lets buff the Panther... No, because SVT-40 provides real benefits, cjnscripts become stronger in attack and in defense and in motion. 7 people 50 ammunition from 10-15 minutes are not even close to the usefulness of SVT-40. With your logic, what is useful should be blocked only in the commanders, let's take MG-42 from the grenadiers and put them in the commanders, because MG-42 is a real improvement. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet Core changes commander Revamp Patch16 May 2019, 14:07 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 13:57 PMSander93 So you just want a boring weapon upgrade that would make them LMG Grenadiers clones? How exactly would you argue that that would be good for gameplay? We are not discussing "boringness" here, but real improvements for the draftees. If you don't like boring DP-27, I suggested: the “Rearmament” ability — when the conscripts were urgently mobilized, the industry was in a catastrophic situations (T0) and didn’t get the best weapon, but over time the industry could eliminate the need for armament (T4): - replace rifles with an old barrel and a rusty bolt with new rifles with a chrome-plated barrel (improve accuracy) and a smooth bolt (increases the rate of fire) - replaces Molotov with a grenade - replace the AT grenade with a on the VKG-40 rifle AT grenade (It was put into service in 1944), increases the radius of the ability. not boring variat, without ridiculous attachment to cover In: COH2 Balance
