Though you pay an extra premium on population on captured crew weapons, and you can't /build/ the MG42, you have to capture them. I do think that these weapons shouldn't be balanced around their crew sizes though, if it's a factional trait. Soviet crew weapons should have the same crew size as other factions, or the number of crewmen should be tied to the weapon, not the faction crewing it. Either of these options would leave room for the Maxim to be buffed, and reduce the problems that soviet crews cause. I would have to disagree, we should avoid continuing to strip factions of their uniqueness in the name of "standardization", not to mention this would constitute a faction-wide nerf to every Soviet crew weapon which is simply not necessary. Additionally, Ostheer and OKW have good DPS options for dealing with Soviet weapon crews, LMG Grenadiers can pick off models from further away and Sturmpioneers or Panzergrenadiers can shred them with a flank. Before anyone mentions the Western allies, USF and UKF have powerful mainline infantry to back up their crew weapons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: why was maxim nerfed recent patches?19 Apr 2021, 22:08 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2021, 20:38 PMMarkedRaptor I think that's just the breaks of having 6 men MG squad that can reinforce via merge. I think all MG's should be strong but it has to pay for the advantages it is given. I kind of like the idea of the DHSKA being a 4 man squad with great suppression vs the Maxims "just throw bodies at it" so both play styles have an MG they'd want. Crew sizes are an inherent advantage of the Soviet faction. You've probably noticed you get 6 man crews if you recrew another faction's weapon. If you're willing to put in the manpower you could even gain 6-man Shock Troop MG 42's that can watch their own asses. In: COH2 Balance

There was this type of armor, T-34s with such armor were produced in a small batch. But these were tanks without a hexagonal turret. If I'm not mistaken these were crew modifications, nothing official, and probably discouraged. The Germans had a tendency to add to the T-34's they captured, adding side skirts from salvaged metal and commander copula's from damaged Panzer III's and IV's. In: COH2 Balance

That model is for an unused German captured T-34. In: COH2 Balance

The unit is weird to begin with since it does not really have any abilities that fit a "command" unit and the limitation of 1 has more to with power level than its abilities. I feel like you're trying to sneak G43 VSL Grens back in by advocating that JLI as an alternate unit that happens to be extremely similar to G43 VSL Grens. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback18 Apr 2021, 03:57 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2021, 02:29 AMthedarkarmadillo True, it's not the best design. But JLI is a tricky thing to rebalance without buffing the shit out of it to make up for the huge power creep over the years. JLI is a relic from an era where Grenadiers faced Conscripts that had no upgrades, and now they face Riflemen and Tommies that can almost overpower JLI Grens out the door and only get substantially stronger. The other suggestion of granting bonuses against cover is not a good solution because it would require a rebalance of Panzergrenadier G43 and Panzerfusilier G43 to maintain consistency.

Thread: The game slowly moves away from an historical WW2 game17 Apr 2021, 23:08 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2021, 16:56 PMPip I'd have thought that the OST sniper G43 came first. Snipers are a distinct unit type and what they use is irrelevant to how they behave. Nobody is confused about the role of the Mosin-Nagant or the Boys Anti-Tank Rifle because they are both used by Infantry and Snipers. Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2021, 16:56 PMPip Though honestly it's immaterial, Even "only" a four times scope is not a logical choice for a CQB weapon, and given that it is a scoped rifle, it really makes more sense for them to be long-ranged weapons. It is a Semi-Automatic Rifle, it's good at close range and mid range because it can pew pew faster than a Bolt-Action Rifle. It being the same or worse than a bolt-action up close makes no sense. Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2021, 16:56 PMPip STGs exist to be the "cqb" option for Axis squads, if that's something people want. Assault Rifles are also good at close and mid range because they can pew pew better than Bolt-Action rifles. They can also pew pew better than Semi-Automatic Rifles, but the reason the G43 is competitive with them is because the G43 is a doctrinal upgrade unlike an SVT or M1 Garand. In: COH2 Gameplay

Fallschirmjagers. Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2021, 17:40 PMVipper A simply solution at this point would be to replace the upgrade with a 5 men squad doctrinal squad. That's just the Jaeger Command Squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The game slowly moves away from an historical WW2 game17 Apr 2021, 16:44 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2021, 12:07 PMPip It's a scoped rifle, and it has several /wildly/ different dps profiles depending on the squad using it. The STG should be the weapon to act as you describe, the G43 really should be a mid/long range focused weapon, not a "close range/On the move" armament. Well the Semi-Automatic Rifle profile came first, with the Jaeger Light Infantry Upgrade for Grenadiers and Panzergrenadiers, the G43 upgrade for Panzerfusuliers, and the Jaeger Light Infantry Recon squad which was equipped entirely with G43's. The G43 DMR was created as part of a Jaeger Light Infantry Recon rework since the original unit was kind of a meme squad. If you want to really get into arguing, the scope they use is only a ZF-4, a 4x scope originally designed for Infantry, not Snipers. It was only issued to Snipers because the Soviet sniper program encouraged the Wehrmacht to step up their own sniper program and the ZF-4 was already available in considerable numbers. The G43 was and still is a semi-automatic rifle, a puny 4x scope doesn't change that. In: COH2 Gameplay
