Thread: Suggestion: Bring back Volksgrenadiers!21 Sep 2013, 14:58 PM I think that Grens are fine for T1 . Also Volksgrenadiers where rather equivalent of US national guard, ie. not really regular infantry and also didn't appear at eastern front. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet AT-gun21 Sep 2013, 13:53 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2013, 13:23 PMTurtle Also, I'd love to see the German infantry gun make an appearance, I love that little slugger when playing tabletop miniature games. And it'd make a nice early weapon team that can counter things like Scout Cars and T-70s. Yes, It would be very elegant and versatile weapon able to kill infantry(unlike adding another early ATG) and lighter armor (HEAT round shot ammo ability, dealing serious punch + engine damage like AT nades), and be more fuel effective/less OP unit than early short barrel StuG/SU122, due to small mobility and no armor protection. When it comes to slowing down units, we had "crew shock" status, but I guess it would be too severe... I would rather prefer to get good accuracy buff and maybe damage bonus at very short range, so we could punish vehicle from sitting directly (like few meters) under ATG barrel or use close proximity bonus for true-sight ambushes :-).

Thread: Soviet AT-gun21 Sep 2013, 13:02 PM I disagree with ZiS 3 "good arty" argument, maybe it's looking cool, but it's pretty much ridiculous for ATG...(Yes, it's still mostly ATG and can't fire like howitzer) ZiS 3 was very fine and extremely deadly weapon, even german engineers admitted that ZiS is slightly better than any German equivalent after examining few captured ZiS3's. For infantry support better would be use of infantry support gun, pretty much tiny howitzer (baby version of Brummbär and similar to short gun StuG) firing short range like AT gun and with barrage ability like ZiS 3 now. Best exaple of IFG's are soviet 76mm regimental gun (look very similar to tiny AT gun used in campaign mode) and german Le.iG 18. Tiny and cute, but very capable as well Both AT guns really need better stopping power (Yet die horribly if well flanked), especially when It comes to accuracy and maybe bit of penetration and damage buff at very short range. For example, I get my 2x ATG's killed in matter of seconds by Ostwind who blitzkrieg head-on from maximum range, hit mine, get AT naded... and still be able to flank both guns, because from 4 total shots any of them ever hit the tank. Same situation with Pak 40, where I easily flank and destroyed few PAK crews just by charging T70/T34 head-on on the gun and don't get hit - I think that needs to be looked on. In CoH ATG Has some area denial (partially psychological) effect against armor, because You didn't really want to face ATG's barrel, In COH2 I don't feel any serious danger from ATG's side.

Thread: Should mechanical break-downs be added?21 Sep 2013, 10:54 AM I wouldn't mind more mechanical failures caused by other players, like Tank threads loss chance when driving over the mine or being shot from flank, but with tracks repair priority when being repaired by engineers or had threads self-repair cool-down (~20-30 seconds) so tank aren't stuck permanently until fully repaired like in Beta... Completely random stuff (not caused by players action) like ending on "go to jail" tile, just because of unlucky dices had no place in strategy game like company of heroes, It's not even fun.

Thread: So does no one care that Relic is recycling maps?21 Sep 2013, 10:15 AM Personally, I think that remaking best old maps are as much important like making new ones... I wasn't following CoH2 during most of summer and After I saw balance patches + easter front remix of Langres & Semois I was very pleased... IMHO, old maps are very nice touch for all vCoH players :-). EDIT_1: Also I would like to say Hello to all users of COH2.org o7. In: COH2 Gameplay
