Thread: USA OP23 Jun 2014, 16:01 PM
so basically, with WFA soon getting released, i am startng a USA OP thread so that we can all complain about everythng being fucked.
I shall start, riflemen, i think that USA having infantry that is not useless is something seriously to be looked at , it is ridiciluos that both sides have infantry that are useful.
I miss the old amazing grens/conscripts balance in that conscripts are useful in the first 10 minutes, then they are useless, same should be for riflemen i think. |

I like how these people still say that vcoh was all about combined arms and losing squads actually meant something.
Losing squads did not mean much for axis, at all, yes they were easier to lose , but you could easily replace them with medic bunkers for free.
COH 2 with the new weapon profiles is alot more fun and better in coh 1 in my opinion because there is less bullshit like snipers being almost bulletproof/snipers walking cloaked in open fields/ snipers randomly missing eachother/rangers being immune to suppresion/bars being the ultimate murder machines for cheap/KCH being unkillable and immune from snipers/zombie medic bunkers.
Also, losing tanks and units meant something in vcoh? Allied war machine, off map combat group, manpower blitz + stuh + tiger literally gave you tanks for no fuel.
Off map combat group was also PURE rng. It sometimes could decide games because you could get 2 tank destroyers for almost nothing or you could get a mortar.. |

oh don't worry, there will be people screaming OP 5 minutes after WFA is released.
The US gameplay video on youtube is already overloaded with comments screaming USA OP!!1!1 |

i think M3 needs a small armor nerf so it dies quicker to small arms fire. That's all i think that is wrong with it.
Maybe it can get it's old armor back when it hits vet 1 so its still useful later in the game. |

I would be very surprised if the tiger wasn't nerfed on WFA launch.
I would be very surprised if IS-2 wasn't buffed on WFA launch. |
Having played a few matches against Sov in the last few days where I forced them off the map almost completely. Kept wiping squads and winning the manpower battle only to be (very) surprised when all of a sudden T34-85 dual call-ins arrived and changed the game quickly. In both cases I was left wondering how they had afforded the call-ins and would be interested to see as it felt forgiving for players in that position to be receiving the heavy armour call-ins they got. I understand a comeback mechanism but inept play is inept play.
More on topic I also feel that the lack of Ger "heavy" infantry and the death of the panzergrens is a big issue with the M3. The lowered armour values seem to make this car much more effective and also homogenises the feeling of the vanilla factions (something I think will become starker once US and OKW are in play). Ger inf need to be a little tankier I feel, to compensate for M3 tactics and differentiate the factions again.
so basically you want grenadiers to beat conscripts 100% of the time, regardless of cover. A grenadier squad does higher DPS than a conscript squad at ALL ranges. There is no heavy infantry in the game currently except shocks , everyone else has 1.0 armor. And i like that. I don't like bulletproof infantry. |

that's how the soviets were designed, they lack flexibity, they rely heavily on their doctrine.
Soviets were designed as the "spam" faction. |

thank god the tiger was nerfed. I hate the tiger right now, while its not as broken as ISU-152 or elephant, it is still broken.

i for one don't miss it.
It was the ISU-152 of the early game, except that it was possible to kill. If you kill it, you win, if you don't you lose. It almost forced you to go gaurds.
I hated it and it made entire games centered around just one unit. the FHT.
Don't want it back. Same with an early t-70, altho that was still not as bad as an early FHQ.
That said, something could be done to make it more viable. I would suggest a damage increase. Since its a T3 unit now, it should do good damage (not as much as a kv-8 but more than it has now)
t-70 needs a cost decrease to 55 fuel. |
