Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?15 Dec 2014, 02:56 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2014, 02:53 AMbraciszek Not exactly a nerf. LMG's, HMG's and the like usually have more than one penetration, which allows them to negate armor. With reduced recieved accuracy, obers can dodge those bullets and fare better than they would normally if they had armor. And if you assume that it is right that obers can not be countered by other infantry, then i dont know what to say. Of course... That is a completely rational answer. Devote fuel to kill a manpower only unit. Nothing wrong with that. Screw bothering with conventional methods that apply to everything else for good reason. Of course they shouldnt. They have a Titanium Endo Skeleton and were built by Skynet! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 damage15 Dec 2014, 02:49 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2014, 02:33 AMMr. Someguy Rear Echelons can upgrade to BAR's, Bazookas, and with proper doctrine M1919 LMG's. This doesn't replace the Flamethrower in its role, but it certainly makes up for the lack of stock weapon upgrade. True. But neither is as good as a CE or Pios flamer. The BARs in the hands of REs are just plain....bad. If zooks were good though yeah it would be pretty boss. Too bad zooks are well...zooks... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 damage15 Dec 2014, 01:54 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2014, 01:50 AMMr. Someguy Pioneers (200MP) cost more than RET's (160) and Engineers (170) but have less range and utility. RET's can Volley Fire and Engineers can construct Demo Charges. They do more damage up close, but have a faster fall-off than all other SMG units, even weapon crews. While RET's and Engineers can be used as supporting units in cover against enemy infantry, Pioneers must close in out of cover. They are also virtually useless against USF because Riflemen tear them down and RET's pin them with Volley Fire. Compared to their current weapons, Pioneers would be better off with Volk or Fusilier rifles over their current MP 40's. That's why I think they deserve a slight buff. Alternatively, they could just be reduced to 170 MP like Combat Engineers. Engineers and Pios can also upgrade to Flamers and REs...have...volley fire... With a Flamer Pios cause quite a bit of damage to Rifles 1v1 and can win engagements. If they buffed their damage I fear this cheap squad would just murder rifles once given the Flamer upgrade. No reason for them to cost more the CEs though... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?15 Dec 2014, 01:50 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2014, 19:24 PMOZtheWiZARD I think resolving two glaring issues would help the balance greatly. 1. Adjusting Obers, so they are not broken anymore. I don't think ammunition cost increase alone will resolve the issue. Their dps has to be adjusted as well. 2. Decrease long range accuracy on Volks shreks so they still have an AT option but it's not almost denying allied medium tanks usage. On the side note I find it hilarious how unit that menages to grab Obers lmg magically turns into a squad of super soldiers. One game I got it on combat engineers squad as it was the only unit nearby and I didn't want my opponent to reclaim it. They were destroying everything on the field. You sir are a wise man. I will miss "Major Pain" though. Soooo funny with an LMG34.... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?14 Dec 2014, 02:11 AM I dont believe I ever said it was unbeatable. I remember the Obers intially when I killed over 1000MP worth of Soviet units with a Single squad. And I played them exclusivley at the time and said at that time Obers needed to be nerfed so not sure what your getting at really. Also at that time it was harder to whip out a Panther and the Panther was weaker even when you did. So having Infantry only got you so far. The flaktrack was also VERY vulnerable due to tear down time. Since when I played COH1 you were probably in Grade School your right my memory may not serve me as well. It was Pre Opposing fronts....

Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?14 Dec 2014, 01:54 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2014, 23:20 PMMr. Someguy gokkel has a point though, people will just continue to complain about OKW until they can no longer fight. People complained about Ostheer since release and now look where they are, they are ridiculously disadvantaged against USF. And people complained about USF and they got nerfed. And the things they nerfed were OP. And there are still nerfs they need. OP units need to be balanced. OP factions need to be balanced. Its a process as you know. Having enough AT and AI in Infantry alone to beat an entire faction isnt balance. Its COH1 Ranger Blobs all over again. It really needs to be fixed. Otherwise what is OKWs disadvantage if they can do with manpower what takes other factions Fuel to do? I LOVED OKW when they first came out. They were very challenging to play and rewarding. At the time Luchs was the only stinker and Panther wasnt a god but like the Jackson took skill to use properly. Then they buffed Muni and Made the Panther an A Move tank and it lost its appeal to me. Its a shame really. Now that with Equal map control and conversion with a buffed Panther and Flak Truck they combined with Obers/Shrek blobs its just too much. Without Obers being Gods of all Long range DPS Shrek blobs will be more vulnerable. Or conversly if they removed Shreks teeth then Obers would be vulnerable. But as it stands OKW has too much in the Manpower/Muni part going for it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: All grenades need to be look at13 Dec 2014, 20:49 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2014, 20:36 PMMr. Someguy Units should space out outside of cover, in cover they should consider altering the modifiers so that grenades aren't instant-kill. I saw this spacing in a game I was watching yesterday: It was noteworthy enough to take a goddamn picture! Make it standard! But they need to be careful. Any more apart and Dieter may get lost In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW, the root of most balance issues?13 Dec 2014, 20:44 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2014, 19:44 PMJaigen You continually say they are too potent but do not say why. or at least nothing that warrants a nerf. in your previous post you mentioned that they can take hmgs from the front. EVERY single lmg unit can take a lmg from the front even that dopey dp. and killing light vehicles is nothing new as once again every lmg is good at it . and countering infantry is their speciality You know I started to pull up the stats. But nah. You can compare them to Airborne yourself. By your logic Airborne must be UP o.O since Obers are obviously fine and barely cost more... In: COH2 Balance
