Yea, suuurely a 40mp cut will make then unstoppable behemoths of doom. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Penal Battalions THE THREAD!9 Mar 2014, 15:18 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2014, 14:59 PMVolsky As much as I hate to say it, I don't buy the whole "they were super experienced" line. Troops sent to a penal detachment strike me as looters and 'cowards', not sane individuals who tried to improvise. I would say just make them into cheap (200 or less MP) 'suicide' troops with team weapon Mosins (less DPS iirc) and the satchel ability, and make them fit only for "I want THAT unit dead" duty. Do you want your pios dead? Do you want any of your squad dead? I don't. Maybe I would consider it if they were able to take a gun and immobilize panthers/elephants with that suicide of yours, other then that you need to play less spamcraft, baneling idea will not translate into CoH2. Give me one reason why would I want a squad that performs worse then conscripts, arrives later, scales worse and is suppose to die. One sane, logical reason. Then we can move the SVTs to Guards as an upgrade and undo their silly "huehuehue PTRS team" getup. Add a cheap (240 MP) four-man PTRS team with a pair of PTRS' to T2 as an anti LV option (note, this is still T2, so it's no worse than facing an ATG in terms of teching) to finally give the Soviets some reliable non-doctrinal HHAT. Guards become ranged AI elites, while shock troops are your CQB go-tos. You're drifting into the realm of dream wishes. Nothing like that will ever happen. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Penal Battalion anyone?9 Mar 2014, 15:12 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2014, 15:00 PMDerBaer What do you expect to get for 360? Instant squad wipes versus german troops. Something along the lines of 240mp+60mu upgrade unit that would actually beat them with their own 60mu upgrade. You know, maybe a similar relation that cons have with pgrens, you know, the other 360mp squad? Like there is not enough of that already. Their long to mid range damage is fine. They can take on G43 grens when in cover and with vet and melt away Assault grens like butter when using a buffer of conscripts inbetween and great for flanking suopport weapons... what more do you want? Tier unit with elite infantry cost that beats conditionally basic, spammable infantry unit and beats a cheaper, 0cp unit when screened with their own basic infantry? You think that is enough? Well, its not. Or I will ask it this way: Why pgrens excel at what they do, are extremely cost effective, have upgrade that changes their role and they excel in that new role as well and can work on their own, while penals always are dependent on fighting significantly weaker squads or need heavy support for themselves, while being a specialist one role AI unit that can not effectively fight infantry?

Thread: Partisans reinforcement cost.9 Mar 2014, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2014, 12:52 PMMr. Someguy People use that? It's cheaper to just wait a minute and buy new Conscripts yourself. It's probably the worst thing you could do with your Munitions imo. It's even worse with "Relief Infantry". 120 Mun for an Osttruppen Squad that I only get if I lose 4+ models? I'd rather buy Panzerschrecks. 40muni for 1 osttruppen squad is a fair deal(you can get 3 from the ability), it lasts long and you would take casualties anyway, so might as well get some osttruppen for them, expendable pfaust platform/cheap to reinforce dmg sponge is always a good deal.

Thread: Penal Battalion anyone?9 Mar 2014, 14:51 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2014, 12:56 PMLast of the Catachan The penal battalion should be used as they supposed to be used ,as a suicide squad. Ways who? In game description says they are up to the hardest tasks and complete them because they have nothing to loose. What indicates anything about suicide squad instead of mentally ill players who for some reason are stuck with that delusion? They were used to clear mines for other troops charge bunkers ,pill boxes it did not matter how many died as long as they succeeded. Well, it matters since they are 360mp troop, meaning they are elite troops just as guards and PGs. They should perform as such. They should have the least amount of suppression than any infantry unit making them a lot more scary to use versus mg's and bunkers. Would change absolutely nothing, because of incredibly short range on satchel, you either flank perfectly or press retreat. Plus the demo charge strapped to one of the men instead of being able to throw it They are not japanese or muslims. So you can click on the demo charge before you attack risking a it getting hit and exploding or clicking after you succeeded reaching the target. I suppose relic could play around with the AI to make a least 1 man survive Stop confusing them with golliaths/banelings, they are not. They are a squad that is suppose to excel at long/mid range combat and building clearing, they fail miserably at first part for their cost. In: COH2 Gameplay

I tried once, my Gren and his Engi engage, both in green cover, 10 secs later, 2 Gren models dead, no Engi hurt. If it is not crit, WTF is that? Its called RNG. Probability is rather extremely low, but still can happen. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Ideas of radio "Maphack" change7 Mar 2014, 23:41 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2014, 22:54 PMpantherswag And it's attached to a 60 munition upgrade that's only effective on one unit, and the only free doctrine the G43 is in is Jaeger Infantry which isn't very good and is already a munitions heavy doctrine as is. I agree it's very good on Lightning War and Elite, but both of those are pay for doctrines that not everyone has. Right now almost everyone has Advanced Warfare. That is rather bad excuse. You always build grens anyway and last time I've seen a player without elite troops was a day before elite troops was introduced. In: COH2 Balance
