No problem. This helps the game as a whole. I will gladly pitch in cash to keep COH2 alive

GL with the Tourney.

I have been messing around with things like Arty, Mines, Katushyas, and Precision strike as the Soviets this patch and have made some non scientific observations.

Soviet Standard Mines seem alot more lethal

Precision Strike seems borderline useless for the 82MM Mortar

Hits from Katushyas seem to be devistating I have dished out multiple squad whipes per barrage (if it ACTUALLY hits and its not stuck on cool down boy does that 10 seconds make a diff)

Precision strike with the Katushya either I am unlucky as hell or its wonky. Regular Kat hits seem to wreck squads but Prec Strike seems to ummm kill maybe 2-3 of a support team?

I dont seem to notice a change with the B3 howi.

I havent tried the ML20 or any of the German indirect fire outside the 81MM and mortar HT which I dont notice much of a change they are as deadly as ever.

Does anyone know exactly what these changes were? And if they were say applied to everything or somethings were missed? Are they supposed to say perform like the Soviet mine or is the Soviet mine supposed to perform like Precision strike? Something seems off and inconsistent as if either something got overbuffed in this change or the buff wasnt applied to everything equally.

Edit: Sorry not buff CHANGE. It wasnt a Buff I guess?

Op it I get the impression from what your saying you really need to work on your micro.
The 222 is one of the most useful units in the German arsenal, its boss against infantry and hard counters Russian scout car s and snipers. It can take an at nade and still have a third health. It can also take a full in the face at shot. It is fast enough that if you know what your doing neither of these will touch u the entire game.

T70 is also a most excellent tool vs German infantry and can take on pumas if you handle handle it right.

My first armour many games is su76 followed by another. Its barrage is invaluable and its at packs a nasty punch especially once your vetted these babies are beast supporting your main armour trust me.

Yes these units all can be taken out easily if your not using them well, with decent micro and awareness they are all fast enough that there is no reason for them to be destroyed at all.

These units are my most useful units in most games since patch and they are so fun to use.

Again work on your micro and awareness.

Sorry maybe I wasnt clear. This is based off of 1v1 game mode. Yes the 222 is a capable unit if microd well. But why? Why not just another Gren with an LMG? Unless your being M3 spammed but the MG42 is capable of dealing with this now.

I dont see the reward. I used too. Before it became so expensive and was buffed. Also I kill them left right and center when I play Soviet (Guards in an M3 still works perfectly). They have a short operational life span in the game. Grens dont.

The same goes for the T70. If you have a replay of a T70 taking on a Puma in 1v1 I would really reallly like to see it. Because when the Puma is out...T3 is a huge risk. Pumas are fast, durable, long range, great AT, and once vetted Target weakpoint and they can spam smoke. A well used Puma is NOT going to lose to a T70. And a T70 isnt going to escape a Puma. I would agree that WITHOUT a Puma available then the T70 has a short operational window and can escape threats like the P4. But its AI role can also be filled by the M3 that can reinforce as well.

SU76 spammed I dunno I havent tried to spam them so I cant comment. I suppose I could see it being OK but why? SU85 is a better choice in all aspects.

I dont think I said there was a problem with the Changes overall. I just think the addition of certain aspects has diminished the use of certain units and things like the ISU152 are just too good right now.

But as I stated this is my opinion. It has nothing to do with L2P so I would appreciate the lack of those types of assumptions.

'Grenadier' is a honorific starting from (sometime in 1942) I believe.

It was purely applied by the Germans for morale reasons rather than anything to do with substance.

German motorized infantry troops were renamed 'Panzergrenadiers'. Mot. Infantry divisions were also renamed: "Panzergrenadier divisions"

The difference between grenadier and panzergrenadier was this: One was a fighting man from a horse drawn infantry division (he marched on foot once he got off his train). The other rode in trucks to battle.

Been used since they were a real unit. Still used today in fact.

"The aoe bonus that mortars got when using precision strike was removed 2 patches ago (if I recall correctly). Decreasing the likelihood of that happening significantly. Furthermore the received +25% damage modifier for weapon teams was replaced by a +25% received accuracy modifier further decreasing the effect of a precision strike."

Yes it was. Before they all hit with the AOE of the 120MM. Forgot about the incoming damage received going away. That would explain why I spent the muni and killed two models of an HMG even though I hit it dead center with Prec strike. Thanks for that.
