These ninja changes were a bit strange, they made OKW p4 cheaper than t34. I hear they are crap though. I've seen them in game a few times, but not much.

I complained before about shreks hitting infantry. It feels like it happens more in CoH2 than it did in CoH1 and if someone gets nailed by one, they are blown apart. If it's a miss, then the squad has reaction. This can also contribute to why your having a tougher time. Reaction disables firing (it's when an explosion happens and the squad members dive out the way, they aren't firing when that happens), meanwhile the shrek squad is still applying it's dps on your squad. It's even worse if your getting both nailed and a reaction.

Volks seem pretty inconsistent to me. I have had some battles where it seems like they are just barely better than conscripts and I have had freakish battles, like this one I remember on Ettelbruck. I had 2 con squads behind a flat-bed train car that was providing heavy cover. They were firing on a single volks squad receiving light cover from a nearby crater. The single volks squad forced the retreat of both con squads without using any grenades and I think I remember them not losing any men, but there might have been 1 volks casualty. They didn't have a shrek either, it was a really awkward rng moment.

I love using the Ost sniper more than the Soviet one. Soviet one takes forever to kill, it's clumsier, and docile. I wonder if they toned down that incendiary shot, because when i used it last it pretty much wiped out the squad I was attacking with it. Ost sniper is really really good vs Americans.

I think we need to define what blobbing is. I don't have a problem with there being a lot of infantry, my issue is when the player can disregard cover and use the attack move command and still come out the winner.

I played a game last night that was a 3v3 and there was a lot of blobbing. The guy I was fighting most was blobbing panzerfusiliers. It was really effective too, I lost pretty much all my infantry from direct and indirect encounters with them (mainly retreats going into their range). I started hitting him with the katyusha at his truck. I blew him up with demo charges. I placed mines and tripwire anytime I could. I used the ML-20 to beat down tanks and trucks. I'll check the replay but he survived often. There were squad wipes, but not all the time. I spent over an hour on that game and exceeded 80k damage.

I was able to wipe squads if I got close or of course used PS. One guy used 2 obers to cap a point and he lost them all to a PS. Max range or close to max range on a single squad is not worth it to me and I usually don't see wipes when I do that, unless the player doesn't retreat.

Well that's simple. This discussion was predicted successfully by many shortly after the first Stuka encounters. I'm sure you can still see those in the stuka thread.
