Thread: Diversifing the DPS roles of Penals and Cons27 Jul 2014, 05:43 AM Soviet penal companies and battalions (authorized 1942 to Soviet fronts and armies) were small units used as shock troops for the most dangerous attacks and equipped according to mission. (casualty rate about double of regular formations). They were armed with the usual weapons, including submachineguns, machineguns, anti-tank guns, flamethrowers and PTRS. They are definitely armed with extra flamethrowers as the memoir Penalty strike (penal company commander) often talks about his flamethrower teams. In the memoir they even get air resupply.

Ability: smoke grenade, grenade, and AT grenade volley Penals: 6 SVTs Ability: upgrade to flamethrower Satchel charge molotov In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Assault Grenadiers26 Jul 2014, 22:15 PM ^^ I actually have found Assgrens (vs. US only) to be better than Assengineers at running down units. The 5th man is a substantial benefit and has saved many a squad wipe. The Assengineers suffer from having to deal with suppression from MG42s, mortars, and the like. Against OKW, they have to deal with fast sturmpioneers/fusiliers/MG34s which cut them up pretty badly. The Assgrens IIRC do a lot of damage up close; 42 damage. This is a little less than some of the other units but it is enough to get the job done; plus they have 80 more HP w/ 5th man. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Allied Medium Tanks Overperforming/too spammable?26 Jul 2014, 21:06 PM Stug III G is extremely cost effective vs. all but the E8. T-34/85 and Sherman E8 are slightly underpriced, but only by a bit (15 fuel). Ost Panther's teching cost is too high, but the tank is fairly priced. Tiger and IS-2 are fairly priced. Puma is an odd vehicle. Like the stug III G, if used properly with lots of attention it is really underpriced. otherwise, as a line unit it doesn't cut it. Balance is much better than 2013.

Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company26 Jul 2014, 20:53 PM ^ I agree. I felt this way even with vcoh. They are better off with double bazookas than an unwieldy AT gun that can easily be lost. So instead of the current mix, I'd prefer 1 double bazooka para squad. 2 double 30 para squad or 2 double bazooka para squads and 1 double 30 cal squad. vcoh had the 57mm recoilless rifle, but they can't make this effective against mediums. It could be a good weapon against infantry, though.: In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Assault Grenadiers26 Jul 2014, 19:31 PM Assgrens: Assgren spam is good against US especially in early game. They are good in forested/close quarters maps. The US takes a while to get proper suppression weapons outside of rear echelon volley. They become somewhat obsolete in late game and they are bad in wide open maps like steppes. They are thoroughly poor against Soviets. I never build them if I am fighting soviets. I don't think that they need a change because they are a situational type of unit. The rest of mechanized is really strong. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company26 Jul 2014, 16:29 PM ^ I would like to see paras as being expensive 'feared' troops like the obersoldaten. They are behind enemy lines for that matter and have the disadvantage of being disconnected from the main force. Otherwise, paras will continue to be used as reinforcements rather than than part of some sort of special strat. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company26 Jul 2014, 16:15 PM The carbines must be then revised to be a good weapon at short and medium range then. Currently, they stink. With the tommies, the paras should have the highest short range DPS in the game. I don't mind the paras having 'super' garands and being better riflemen. This upgrade would work well with the 30 cals. Jump back to quoted post26 Jul 2014, 15:25 PMPart time commie Well, try the new thompsons, they feel great for assaulting. Maybe i am being too easy on them but i really feel like it's a viable option. Garand? i don't think so, it would make them overlap way too much with the riflemans at that point. Thompsons Paras still can't get bazookas from the rack which seems like a bug. But i gotta say that i'd prefer to see them with stickies instead of a bazooka upgrade (but still letting them get the one on the rack like anyone) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Toughts of a veteran on the airborne company26 Jul 2014, 15:19 PM I don't think it means much because double 30 cals is still going to be clicked. I haven't ever used tactical assault in a match, and in fact I forgot that the ability exists due to not using thompsons. I would like to see a cheap upgrade to M1 garands to replace the carbines and also an upgrade for double bazookas. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: War Spoils Poll26 Jul 2014, 14:16 PM The biggest problem I have with war spoils is not on that managed poll; It takes way too long to win the 6 x DLC content. Only the most hardcore players who have 600 hours or more to spare will get all of it. Most of us will never reach it, not even close. In: COH2 Gameplay
