How so?



If you went Battlegroup you wouldn't.

The point would be to give Mechanized cheaper access to Battlegroup medics. At the moment they've got to buy the truck, the building and the medic upgrade to do that. This would cut out the building cost.

Is that necessary at the moment? Probably not. Pre-DBP Mechanized was dominant over Battlegroup much like Battlegroup is now dominant over Mechanized. That tells me the tradeoff of relying on crates isn't a dealbreaker.

I agree that one can definitely play on crates only if they rush mechanised. Especially as these are most probably getting buffed in the new patch to cover up the bug.

On a side note, your idea doesn't actually add anything to mechanised build. Think of it. Right now if you want both fast mechanised unit (probably luchs) and base healing, you would go mechanised first, then you would build the luchs and go for the second truck with its upgrade. With your changes, you would have to go for mechanised, upgrade it to produce units, build luchs and then build second truck. That way you pay exactly the same, but you get the luchs later and you can't build units from battlegroup. The only advantage you get is the free repair upgrade, but that comes before any units you could repair, unless you go for multiple kubels. For most builds, single luchs and single kubel can be quickly repaired by sturmpios. Base repairs really becomes important only at medium tank level and up.

Where did this value come from?

Isn't it like 200(250?) + 15F?

It is 250mp 15f. Maybe he uses some bulletin we don't know about?

Sounds very plausible because the Raketten's target vehicle command is also ignored once it enters a garrison. I'd suggest infantry AT weapons not targeting infantry at all, unless ordered manually. But I suppose they already considered something like that then.

Pgrens would lose a lot if they couldn't fire at infantry. In the end they keep 2 of their stgs, so double AT squad is equivalent of a single AI one dps wise at full health. I'm pretty sure piat IS, zooked riflemen and shrecked sturmpios would be hurt a lot as well. Especially when you consider that you can use weapon rack to get one AI and one AT upgrade for same squad.

Also, even if they managed to change targetting of a single model handling AT weapon, as oppose to whole squad, another problems arise. Handheld at weapons are very useful at destroying cover in infantry engagements. There are also some weapons that are both AT and AI, like guard PTRS. Should it fire only at vehicles, it would take a bunch of AI dps off guard squad.

In my opinion, the chat trolls are pretty cheap and it is pretty easy to get banned if you go to far into that direction. Bug abuse is obviously bannable as well, so I find it strange that it has even come up here.

What real men do to confuse their opponent is creating a new non-meta strategy that works well and that is not used by anyone else. In the meta oriented world of 1v1s thinking out of the box can really go a long way into increasing your winrate, as most players you meet there have a hard time altering their strategy in any significant way to counter what you are doing. See VonIvan and Lenny12346 for examples.

I think this was the original idea behind bulletins, while they were still powerful. Right now there is a pretty clear meta that works in all matches. In theory, if you could meet opponents who use different unit stats through bulletins, you would have to alter the strategy each time and there would be no clear meta.

There are a few problems with that. First, people didn't like constant changes at all. This is becouse there is only a few people who like to adapt and develop new strategies. Most of the playerbase just finds out what the current meta is and follows that blindly. These guys didn't like stats changing constantly. In effect bulletins have been nerfed to the point where most of them are useless and the others alter gameplay wery slightly. Secondly, bulletins make meta creation process longer, but the bulletin meta still exists some time after changes.

To remove this problems while using the bulletin system that is already present in the game, I think it would be a good idea to randomly select a subset of all bulletins that one can use in each month. For that to work, the bulletins would have to be more powerful than they are now of course.

There is one thing to mention. Most players seem to think that the units that stand out are "OP", while the mediocre ones are "ballanced". Of course, this direction leads to "ballanced" game. But also a boring one. What players really want, although many not realise that, is to counter powerful unit of the enemy with their own "OP" unit or ability.

An example of that is vcoh usf vs wehr. These armies pretty much have only units that would be classified as "OP" in current coh2. Yet they come in a way that zips the ballance together. When each unit comes to the field, it has a short window of opportunity where it can show it potential and then another powerful unit comes from the other side and counters. In fact, this is what we also had in ost vs sov matchup back in 2014, but it is long gone.
