Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 18:56 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2014, 18:42 PMCannonade I understand your point, but prefer to see it as you having actually two units which together synergise to a better performance than either part individually. In that sense, there is no greater cost. You get exactly what you pay for as two units + their synergistic benefit essentially for "free". I understand what your saying. But so is a 222 and an HMG or Pak backing it up. Except when the 222 dies it doesnt hurt the other units. So it goes both ways. Combined arms should be powerful. Another way to look at it is using an M3 with a garrison unit is combined arms In: COH2 Balance

All it needed was Shreks. I had two LMGs and a Shrek one time AT nade then finish em off. In: COH2 Gameplay

True but your not taking into account its no longer one unit in price nor performance. If this is included now you have a unit that costs much much more than the 221/222 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 18:04 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2014, 18:00 PMJaigen snip Yes I agree. Before the patch it was useful. And before the patch it didnt cost almost as much as a conscript squad in MP. If they want to roll it back to where it was suits me. Just lower back down its cost. Edit: And the PTRS is garbage now. Its only good in a M3. Go try to kill a 222 with it outside an M3 post last nerf. The DPLMG is great now though ill give you that. But its very expensive. Giving less muni to acutally button or doctrine dependant mark vehicle. With that being said T1 seems to break the rule relic posed a little while ago where call ins should augment an army not replace things. Guards being required goes against this. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Worst balance ever . soviet domination19 Jun 2014, 17:34 PM PIV IRL 42 km/h (26 mph) road, 16 km/h (9.9 mph) off road No such thing as Blitz T34 53 km/h (33 mph) So at one point you want accuracy on the other you dont? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 17:22 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2014, 16:28 PMJaigen Cut this BS out. You make no comparisons to the 221/222 or the german HT because if you do you will see that the m3 Brutally cost effective for what its doing. Katitof is right the 221 does more damage on long range but loses on mid and short range. That alone is fucking absurd. A dedicated attack vehicle that is more expensive loses a dps war with the m3. Lets sum up all its advantages. it comes out very early it has better dps then both other german LV's it serves as a mobile weapon platform and transport for the soviet infantry. Mate this unit is as broken as the sentinel of Dow 2 . sure it will becomes crap later on but in the early game you have no counter to this mobile bunker with a BFG on top of it. And the complaint that the you need to choose a guards unit is about the worst argument i can think of because guards sync so well with tier 1 and they have the best late game stuff. so its not a weakness And your solution? Nerf it into total uselessness. It also has no turret. It has less armor facing better long range DPS. No forcing doctrine choice is a weakness (only a pure German player would say otherwise). T2 you do not NEED any particular Doctrine. Using Tier 1 YOU NEED a Guards Doctrine unless you totally outclass your opponent. T1 Soviets is a Pig with lipstick. The lipstick is exploitation of timing and mechanics. (M3 although worse comes sooner, Sniper can be exploited to early retreating due to faction design). I dont like M3 play nor sniper play. I have no dog in this fight because I feel that T1 is a weak choice unless you are a top 100 player or a bottom 10K player. In the middle where Ost players are decent and Soviet players dont have super micro its playing Russian Roulette. But what you propose is to make it absurdly useless. And we have enough useless units in this game already. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 15:18 PM Woops I stand corrected they have 200 HPs they SHOULD die to double faust/AT nade. Some reason I had in my head 240 HPs. Yeah RNG then must be up to its shenanigans. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 15:13 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2014, 15:09 PMCannonade Imo, M3 should consistently explode to 2 Fausts. Atm it is frequently surviving them + incidental small arms fire while the Fausts go off. Cba to crunch numbers to identify the exact tipping point. I'd change that first before touching the 221, unless it also is, statwise, surviving substantially more than 2 ATNades, in which case that too should be reduced (but it needs marginally better survival than M3). They have the same HPs. They do survive more and still have about 40 HPs left (After two nades) and Conscripts do less DPS than Grens. So if they are on a road and you at nade them twice if they have ANY kind of support you wont be able to kill them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Who need mortars when you got grenades like that....19 Jun 2014, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2014, 14:54 PMTobis Snip. Let us not forget the DPS for Ost is scaled to deal with 6 models. This only helps with AOE and fire. T2 soviet support teams received no buffs when the damage profiles were changed. This is why a Pgren behind a Maxim is an insta-whipe where before the lethality increase they could easily escape. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jun 2014, 12:39 PMJaigen I dont agree. I envision the m3 to be used as a quick flanker. reducing its hp and making it a glass cannon will completely destroy this units utility early-midgame game. The problem lies solely in its fighting ability. that should be severely reduced. And the 221/222 should be moar better!!!! What you propose is an absurd overnerf. Like Katitof said it would be fine if the cost were reduced to almost nothing. And maybe thats what should be done. Almost no manpower cost and a slight fuel cost with no real armor or HPs and a squad risk as it can explode. Then if they are that cheap you can have a highly mobile force where every squad can easily afford this gimped M3 and move around the field at lightning speed at risk. I would prefer all light vehicles to just get a MP decrease and a fuel increase to prevent spamming and screw over teching if you lose too many. As it stands in the current Meta if you went T1 and had no doctrinal guards you are pretty screwed against a 222 in the right hands. So for Soviets to use T1 you are more or less forced to go doctrine. As it takes more than one AT nade (and you also are forced to buy that upgrade) to kill a 222 and often times if its supported it will escape at great great cost to your OORAH point blank no cover YOLO conscript squads.
