Thread: video of how broken shocks are.6 Feb 2014, 00:52 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2014, 00:48 AMspajn In my mind "balance" would be for every infantry unit to play by the rules of coh that is flanking and cover > Blindly charge of "I win" unit. This is not a "soviet needs nerfs" thread its about get out "I win" units of the game that doesnt play by the rules of coh. If shocks are nerfed im sure other soviet units needs buffs. maybe not even units needs buff.. maybe soviet economy could use buffs with some sort of upgrade.. make it epic Oh okay then there's no problem here! As shown by your own video micro'd greens/pgrens can take them on. Let's copy and paste your video into every "shocks are op" thread and forever put the argument to rest! Well done sir well done! You have done the impossible!! In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: video of how broken shocks are.6 Feb 2014, 00:44 AM So in your mind "balance" would be pgrens rolling shocks?? In: COH2 Gameplay

What exactly is this supposed to show us? That shocks (the most expensive purely AI unit in the game) is the best AI unit in the game?? Everyone knows this lolol. Should katitof counter with a video of panthers taking on t70s 1v1 1v2 1v3 then t34s 1v1 1v2 etc etc? Cause that would show us something else that we all know ... Namely that the best AT tank is in fact the best AT tank. If anything this tells us to buff shocks becsuse in one scenario they lost to thr very thong they are supposed to take out In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: opel blitz5 Feb 2014, 23:45 PM Not that I really care but isn't that a lil busted for 4v4s? Same mp investment yields 4x the reward ... I get that ops work the same way but those are at least available to both factions In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: opel blitz5 Feb 2014, 23:41 PM I've been told that the Opel blitz buff from one players Opel is given to all of his teammates in multiplayer ... Is this true? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: video of how broken shocks are.5 Feb 2014, 22:56 PM So in order to better understand the shock problem I tried to look at it from the other side and queued up as axis yesterday (I generally dislike it cause it really does seem like easy mode and has to me even in vcoh) in hopes of going against some shock squads. As luck would have it one of sov guys spammed shocks hard. My build order was sniper, gren, sniper, mg bunker, fht, pgren with shriek x2, into panthers. And sweet jesus was it a joke. Snipers ended up racking up 56 kills and I must have polished off at least 2-3 shock squads along with other crap. What this taught me is as follows: 1) shocks can be dealt with if you engage them smartly with their hard counters and don't expect grens to do the trick (just like a sov player isn't going to take down a panther with t70s) 2) this is unrelated but dear god do german snipers kick ass. Their rof makes them much more dangerous not to mention the fact that most sov units hit the deck when theyve been sniped which buys you time and the vet 1 avility is bloody amazing (i was able to chain two stuns togetger on a blob of 3 shocks, 1 con, and a maxim buying time for a lot of free snipes and help to show up). I had never played with ost snipers before but found that they fit my offensive play style much better than sov snipers. (I guess that's why I prefer the pak to the zis as well) 3) and finally ... Railway arty lolololol. This needs to be adjusted asap! Cost increase maybe by 50? CD increase by a lot? Radius reduction? Accuracy reduction? Idk something cause it is insane! Especially in large games which causes clustering of units. Tlr version: shocks are fine. They are strong yes, but not op like most people here are making them out to be. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: video of how broken shocks are.4 Feb 2014, 17:44 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Feb 2014, 16:55 PMCieZ Well my main point in including the offmaps/doctrinal stuff is that you can't really just compared two "counterpart" units in a vacuum and declare one faction to be better than the other. You have to consider what they're fighting against and you have to consider what else is in the game to support them. Guards tend to fall into this category as well. Sure they lose horribly to Pgrens unless you land an awesome grenade but their impact on the game with how flexible they are is pretty much unsurpassed. I don't think Shocks are a problem at 1 CP, I find them much easier to deal with than early guards. But a lot of that has to do with the fact that early guards are almost always accompanied by Snipers. For me Tiger vs ISU152 is map dependent, but then again they fulfill different roles so it is hard to compare them. Tigers are great units for spearheading attacks and they can be very annoying to finish off - especially once they unlock turbodrive (Blitz). ISU152 just get to sit back and 1 shot things all day, which is why I love them (I actually think their ability to instantly gib squads is over the top). I think in general were on the same page. Im by now means trying to say that the so faction is underpowered ... I think the individual units are in a vacuum, but to make up for it they have good synergy. I personally find that that makes soviets more difficult to play which is why I prefer them. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: video of how broken shocks are.4 Feb 2014, 16:39 PM Isu152s are good ... I love them ... But in big games I still think the tiger is the best tank to have (in small games too ) Molotov's are also good but Idk if Id rate them as miles better than rifle nades (especially figuring in the fuel cost of molotoves) Kv8 I didnt include because it has no counterpart (its an awesome tank just crazy one dimensional) Sov snipers are better when going agaisnt the german sniper, but due to cloaking speed,and rate of fire i persinally rate the german sniper as slightly superior (althougg less survivable) Lets not get into offmap artillery/airsupport i think both sides have very good options there I disagree with the guard dominance that you describe. Their AI is decent at best and the AT peters off quickly after german t3/4 hits the field. Button is awesone but it does get broken quite easily (smoke,nos, etc) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: video of how broken shocks are.4 Feb 2014, 16:13 PM I find this thread and topic beyond hilarious! Shocks are the one (count it one) soviet unit that isn't outperformed directly by its German counterpart and there is outrage by the German players. Greens > cons Pgrens > guards/penals P4 >>> t34 Panther >> su85 Tiger >>> pick a unit Panzerwerfer > katushka German bunker > sov b... Oh wait sovs dont get one German mortar > sov mortar (vet 1 they even out) Do I need to keep going? Wait. Just for lols .... Tiger ace >> actually that's not even worth filling out Are you guys really that mad that you have to micro and actually play well against the one unit that the german equivilant isnt suoerior?? How do you think soviets feel when pgrens clown cons/guards/penals like they aren't even there? Do you think sovs like having to use 2-3x the manpower (if they don't have the doctrinal shocks) to counter pgrens? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP31 Jan 2014, 15:15 PM Buffing rifle damage would be a-ok with me because that would also help mitigate the pgren problem In: COH2 Balance
