Thread: Let's talk about Volksgrenadiers3 May 2015, 18:54 PM Jump back to quoted post3 May 2015, 18:21 PMZyllen Let me put it simply. I do not care about shreks. not after the puchpen became viable. And volks are not cheap and second they are the okw main infantry and should be used as such. having 5-6 grens is not uncommon. having 5-6 rifles is not uncommon either. soviets rely on elite and highly effective callin infantry. and the okw needs a buff in order to stand up to the rifles or shocks/guards. Yes Yes LETS buff Volks. Say make them 320MP and stomp all over rifles and remove their Shrek. As long their Pop cap is raised and their XP pool lets see how thats recieved... I say OKW should be ALL elite and not have a SINGLE unit that costs less then 300MP I am sure that will work out well. Yknow since Map Control isnt needed or anything.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk about Volksgrenadiers2 May 2015, 20:51 PM Pfuse are an elite AI squad even without G43s. There is absolutley nothing bad about Pfuse. If you struggle with Pfuse against Rifles I dont know what to tell you. @Zyllen Yep Volks arent the best AI unit. Ok? So OKW shouldnt have any exloitable weakness in the AI department? All of their squads should be better 1 for 1 then everybody elses and also scale to vet 5? No oppurtinunty costs should apply to OKW? Ok then. Volks are fine. Its not like Rifles just run them over completley. That doesnt happen. Rifles will beat them 1 for 1 every time but will usually lose 2-3 Models per squad doing so. Thats like paying 90 MP to retreat a 240MP squad. That aint bad. And it just gets better with Vet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Let's talk about Volksgrenadiers2 May 2015, 18:53 PM MP40s are trash. I would rather see STG44s as well. If you want to make them a scalable AI unit. But then again with Pfuse, JLI, Falls and Obers whats the point? Keep them how they are is my opinion. If OKW needs AI all it needs do is call in Pfuse if they dont want to be stuck in that doctrine too bad. In: COH2 Balance

I love it but against Mechanized with the Stug E I tend to keep armored Slotted to smack the Stug E like the little bitch it is. M15 delays this. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How to deal with the New Ostheer 1v12 May 2015, 14:40 PM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2015, 06:57 AMAntilles950 You should consider dropping the fast m20 build. This build is something I've been working on to try and learn to be more patient. Its supposed to be center around strong early rifle play with a ton of capping power and infantry. (2x RE and 4x rifles). Then captain, and if I have decent map control, Sturt, at guns (1 or 2) and maybe pak howi if they camp. Then only Sherman's and priests. It focuses on a strong late game and becomes very hard to break the line with USF at guns that have long sight and lmgs functioning as mgs. With proper positioning and pressure, you can get a very solid base lock going. It also avoids the weaknesses in fast m20 (flak, puma, sc, STUGE) bc a captain and Stuart together can counter all of them. It also gives tools to remove a forward HQ with capt Stuart and the time on target arty. The high amount of rifles is useful for dealing with ostheer CAS and support weapon usage. Essentially, it trades some shock value for what I see as a long term investment. If I float munis, the inf mines also pair very well with the at guns. This build let's you cap around and flank mgs with ease, while negating the strength of the STUGE and SC. You can also check some of my more recent replays on how to use this build. That sounds incredibly solid. I have been considering the captain against Ost more and more but I really hate the fuel cost. That and having AT Guns that arent protected by some kind of suppression is challenging. LMG and defensive stance sounds good. Very campy playstyle it sounds like. I will have to watch some of your replays. With all the overtime I have been working I havent had a chance to even launch COH2. So I will get a replay to the thread the soonest. Appreciate all the feedback thus far. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How to deal with the New Ostheer 1v11 May 2015, 15:17 PM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2015, 14:28 PMcomm_ash Snip. Thanks Ash. I know the USF rather well but I appreciate your insight none the less. Pretty clever idea with Mechanized actually. From my Soviet days I tend to have a specific plan for my Doctrines to cover holes and Mech doesnt do this so never really thought of using it that way. All the ways you mentioned dealing with MGs is pretty vanilla stuff. And it used to work exceptionally well. But I am finding that its not anymore. It obviously depends on the map. I will obviously have to get you all a replay when I find the time to play next and run into this situation. The Crux is I am finding if Pios are kept near MG42s smoke is of little use if I too lack a scout unit. Because often with AOE suppression being the selling point of the MG42 and the Pios now able to see rifles before the rifles see the Pios I tend to get multi squad suppressed VERY often now in the current build. When I do smoke will not help me. Because the Pio runs up and hugs the rifles and keeps them that way so I will bleed if I dont retreat. This is obviously very good play. On small maps its pretty brutal as its very easy to have a PIO MG and PIO MG on two places covering quite a bit. Before I wouldnt worry as smoke was more effective then it is now indirectly. As in it was easier to smoke out an MG before getting multisquad suppressed. And just move the other squad out to flank it. Now its easier to pull this off for a smart Ost player because they can setup at Max Range near a Choke point and see you well in advance so your smoke wont be near enough to the MG and they can easily spot your flank attempt and just re-position and get your flanker too. So when the retreat is exploited in the early game its compounding my problem because it will delay my light vehicles slightly giving them a less useful lifespan while boosting Osts ability to hit me with a quick P4 before I can have Shermans out or a Stug E. Next replay where its not a total Ostheer stomp and I play a decent player i will include the replay. You may not see it at your level of play because people get comfortable and want to win so dont change tactics often. And may not have noticed how strong this combo can be early game vs the USF.

Thread: Axis Goliath30 Apr 2015, 19:41 PM I honestly dont see why adding a Goliath would be an issue. There are demos for Allies they cost a TON of muni. Cool add a Goliath and tie it to a commander that doesnt have resource transfer and make it cost a TON of muni. I think more blob punishment is good not less. Hell give the Soviets back Barbed Wire fields while we are at it. Anything that makes blobbing BAD is GOOD to me on any side of the fence. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to deal with the New Ostheer 1v130 Apr 2015, 19:23 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2015, 19:19 PMCookiezNcreem Sounds like you should be introduced to smoke grenades A lot of USF players are just dead set on going M20 rush into Sherman. Every game. Try using both officers, smoke, pack Howies,M3 halftracks,etc. Replay would help too I can't visualize what you're going through from just text Yep ill save the next one. Its a pretty specific situation and therfore not in every game. I have just noticed what a huge difference Pios spotting ability is making. I have tried smoke but i tend to be suppressed before I know the MG is there so waste of Muni. As once your suppressed the Pio can keep you suppressed. Not to mention that it messes with the Rnade logic. And its only against good Ost Players that will Move the MG around therfore when I come back once again its somewhere else nearby and the Pio Spots me again and here we go.... I hate to have to Solve this with Pathfinders as I am so bored with Airborne TBH. The M20 actually helps with this because it can now see the Pio before the Pio can see it. In: US Forces Strategies
