Thread: Any success with Ass Engies?6 Jul 2014, 06:23 AM I think they need some armour imo. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Infantry Blobs6 Jul 2014, 02:11 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2014, 02:05 AMVulture What suppression tools does the OKW have? Early game: Kubel. This guy requires a lot of care, and will likely die to schrecks anyway, but early on he can put you in a good position. Mid game: Flak halftrack. This thing when used properly is a complete beast. This is honestly one of the strongest counters to infantry blobs as long as you keep him repaired and be ready to screen an escape with some smoke. Late game blobs you really need artillery to contend with, which is fine because OKW has it in spades. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 Anti-tank Mine6 Jul 2014, 02:01 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2014, 01:24 AMVindicareX It's actually quite OP; it's able to 1-shot light vehicles (including Puma) and severely damage and immobilize tanks that roll over it. Yea you can't really place it in enemy territory since they can scout you're building it, but the same thing goes for a teller mine. Push him off, lay the mine, and done deal. So could Teller Mines, which can be constructed much quicker. (Riegal mines did less damage, but guaranteed engine damage.) I dunno, I just don't think the long delay really changes the usage. You still can't place it in combat with a 6 second placement time, but you also don't have issues with it taking forever. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs6 Jul 2014, 01:58 AM If you can't counter an infantry blob, you need to learn how to use artillery and suppression tools properly. There's nothing to fix other than your shitty play. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fighting Positions5 Jul 2014, 23:58 PM What do y'all think of these? -They make Rear Echelon Squads useful, by giving them a rifle grenade when they are garrisoned inside. -The squad doesn't get hurt if the position is destroyed. -Cheap and quick to build In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: M20 Anti-tank Mine5 Jul 2014, 23:56 PM This thing takes too long to deploy. It's the same issue that the old halftrack riegal mine had, where it simply took too long to lay the mine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Use of Flak Half-Track?5 Jul 2014, 23:55 PM Use it like an MG Set it up in areas out of line of sight and will bombard infantry as they run by. Behind buildings, hedges, smoke etc. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Counters for Obersoldaten?5 Jul 2014, 21:48 PM They have to stop moving to shoot. They have no anti-vehicle They cost 50 mp to reinforce, so snipers will be effective bleed. Their effectiveness is neutered by smoke grenades. Artillery gibs them just like any other infantry. I think people don't realize that any infantry unit coming out in t4 has to be very potent at what it does, or else it will be useless against veteran infantry from earlier in the game. I don't play team games often though, so maybe it's more of an issue when people blob them or something. (But then you have twice as much arty, so play better) I haven't found them to be overwhelming in 1v1. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Infantry Support gun one-shotting squads5 Jul 2014, 04:31 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2014, 04:19 AMFestiveLongJohns Yeah the ISG is pretty strong, but at 420 manpower and the only early game unit in its tier it should be reliable. The US variant however, is completely worthless. I've found them both quite useful. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Volley Fire, from "I WIN" to "I LOSE"5 Jul 2014, 01:38 AM The rate of suppression was never the issue. Now it is useless. I don't think you can even suppress a squad in negative cover anymore. In: COH2 Gameplay
