Thread: Do volks really need stg44?23 Apr 2016, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2016, 16:17 PMMoaningMinnie In my humble opinion it would be better not to ged rid of p-shrecks completely, but to make it an upgrade for the sturmpios, just how it works for p-grens. You loose 50% AI but gets good AT. If they have the sweeper then they should not be able to upgrade to shreks. Not a terrible idea, but idk...wouldn't that put a lot of weight on Sturmpio's shoulders? Building, repairing, sweeping, tank-hunting? You'd need to make at least two every game. It gives it sort of a Panzer Elite feel but I think Sturms should stick to being primarily support/repair units. It's not like the Shreck is OKW's only source of AT against early light vehicles...I think people have forgotten how good a Puma is in the right hands. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Do volks really need stg44?23 Apr 2016, 16:01 PM How about locking the Panzershreck behind a truck as well as an upgrade like the BAR and Bazooka for U.S.F.?...Only Volks that are not upgraded with STGs can use them. Also, veterancy requirements should be increased when the squad is equipped with the Shreck to avoid insta-vet 4 and 5 squads. Or maybe making Shrecks a doctrinal upgrade...idk. It's not the Shreck that is the problem, but the fact that they're on a cheap, durable 5-man squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Proposed changes for Soviets 4/2723 Apr 2016, 15:39 PM 1: KV-2 is not extinct, industry gets decent use now it has the fuel drop and on maps lke crossing the KV-2 puts in some serious work. The only downside is lack of shocks/guards, which will not be a problem now penals are buffed... You propose 85 range which means you could cover half the 1vs1 maps in rotation with that thing. -You mean like the Jagdtiger, PaK 43 and Elefant which can shut down a KV-2 without even trying?... The KV-2 is literally the easiest unit to kill once it is in lock-down mode. Even if you click pack-up right away it will still die if it gets flanked because of the time it takes to pack up and because of how slow the tank is...Nobody complained about it when it had 100 range and 320 damage, I highly doubt anyone would complain about 85. Not to mention the shell itself takes ages to travel, giving you lots of time to move out of the way...It almost never hits anything at max range anyway. 2: ISU is probably the most common soviet heavy in 2vs2. It's niche is AI and already wipes extremely well, if you want to buff the AT it's gonna need some serious AI nerfs to balance the unit -That's probably because the KV-1 and IS-2 are terrible heavy tanks, while the ISU can reliably wipe squads. But you're right, its AI will need some toning down if AT is buffed. 3: T-70 is the best light vehicle to wipe retreating squads in the game, AEC and stuart are nowhere near. Note how I said wipe and not "one shot" -Ok?...Why are we even talking about the T-70? Americans aren't exactly lacking in wiping potential either. Sherman with HE shells and the Pershing are better than both the ISU and the IS-2...You can annihilate squads with a Sherman once it gets the radio ability and faster reload + the fact that it has higher moving accuracy and less scatter than most other medium tanks. 4: IS-2 wipes consistently, usually one shot and a couple bursts of the DSHK is all it takes to decrew a pak -And the Sherman and Pershing wipe a lot more. I think you forgot to update your game, you must still be using the IS-2 pre March Deployment. If you want to talk poorly designed then how come soviets have the non doc units to deal with every situation? Americans still have no non-doc arty and brits are hopeless without commanders filling their design holes Yet soviets are somehow the poorly designed ones Every faction is lacking in something. The Soviets are just special in that their teching system makes zero sense, along with the grouping of units...It is an outdated design back from closed beta...Did you play closed beta? Soviets were a very different faction back then... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Proposed changes for Soviets 4/2723 Apr 2016, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2016, 15:03 PMRollo KV-1 bad compared to the churchill? lol I wish, I've not seen a Anvil churchill since it got a price increase and health/armour nerf a few months back KV-1 is non-doc, cheaper, comes at 8CP and you want to buff it to churchill levels.. pretty much this, these changes would make USF/UKF extinct Sovs already have the best wipe potential of any faction (Demos, T-70's, ISU/KV-2/IS-2) and all round force with everything you need (SU-85, rocket arty, team weapons and now great non doc infantry with penals). These changes together would break the game. The ISU-152 and KV-2 are never used in 1v1 and very rare in 2v2. The 120mm mortar was nerfed several times and doesn't wipe squads as often. It still has lower dps than the 240 MP Ostheer mortar. T-70 does 40 damage per hit and while it is one of the best anti-infantry in the game, it's certainly not a squad-wiper unless the squad is already below half health or you get a lucky hit when they're bunched up. The IS-2 has the worst accuracy of any tank thanks to the 0.55 scatter offset while the Tiger and most other tanks have only 0.25 so tell me again how the IS-2 is wiping squads when the Tiger is much more consistent?... I'm not denying the Soviets have very powerful tools at their disposal, but that doesn't change the fact that they're poorly designed and use the same strats more than any faction. After 3 years it's getting very boring. As for the KV-1, the stats are all here http://www.stat.coh2.hu/squad.php?filename=kv-1_commander_mp It is a pathetic tank for the cost, I can't think of a single scenario where I would rather have a KV-1 than a T-34/85. The majority of Axis AT cuts through its armor as if it's just a T-34 so in reality it is just an overpriced, oversized T-34/76. The gun stats are exactly the same. Thanks for bringing up demo charges, though. That reminds me to add something to the OP. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Proposed changes for Soviets 4/2723 Apr 2016, 14:04 PM In my opinion the Soviets still need a lot of work. While they are a very capable faction they are in my opinion the worst designed faction of all. Even after the major changes to the teching and the SU-76, they are still more reliant on Commander units than the other four factions. The changes below could help solve most of the problems the faction faces, in all game modes. Demolition charges • Should be defused once detected IS-2 Scatter Offset buff drastically increases the tank’s performance against infantry. The reason the IS-2 armor was increased was because it was underperforming compared to the Tiger. This is no longer the case now that the tank will no longer miss its target by 500 meters. • Reduce frontal armor from 375 to 340 T-34/85 • Move to Soviet Tier 4. The new T-34/76 changes are very good, but the T-34/76 is NOT a Tier 4 unit. • Increase T-34/85 penetration from from 160/140/120 to 190/180/170 • Increase scatter distance max from 5.0 to 7.5 to balance out AT buff. • Replace vet 1 ‘Capture Territory’ ability with ‘Flanking Speed’ T-34/76* • Move to Soviet Tier 3 • Replace vet 1 ‘Capture Territory’ ability with ‘Flanking Speed’ ISU-152* Currently the ISU-152 AP shells feel very lackluster. With an 11 second reload, it really should be capable of reliably penetrating a Tiger at max range. • Increase AP shell penetration from 260/240/220 to 300/280/260 • Increase ‘Concrete Piercing Shell’ penetration to 1,000 • Reduce cost to 680 MP and 250 FU KV-1 The KV-1 is currently very overpriced when compared to the Churchill. It has significantly less HP, and its gun feels much weaker as well.There really is no reason to use the KV-1 over the T-34/85 since it fails at its one job which is being a meatshield. With both tanks at 800 HP, you'll get a lot more bank for your buck getting a T-34/85 instead. • Increase HP from 800 to 1,040 • Increase penetration from 110/100/80 to 130/110/80 KV-2 The KV-2 is underperforming for its cost, even with the buffs. 70 range is not enough for a unit that must be immobile to function properly. • Increase range from 70 to 85 • Increase damage from 240 to 320 M3 Scout Car • Increase armor from 5.4 to 7 • Reduce rear armor to 4.2 to 2.5 Conscripts • Reduce cost from 240 to 220 • Reduce received accuracy from 1.087 to 1.0 Penal Battalion • Increase moving accuracy from 0.5 to 0.8 to better align the SVT with other carbines • Increase SVT-40 damage from 8 to 10 • Move Oorah from vet 2 to vet 1 Guards • Reduce cost of ‘Button’ ability from 40 to 30 MU 82mm mortar • Reduce reload time from 7.5 to 6 seconds • Reduce ‘Flares’ from 40 to 30 MU In: COH2 Balance
