Thread: USA scotts (M8A1)19 Jan 2022, 10:44 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jan 2022, 18:08 PMKatukov they changed the scott into a barrage weapon, which fires faster than its auto attack. With this in mind, people started spamming pathfinders and rushed to make x2 scotts. This basically countered machine gun spam because pathfinders could completely avoid them, as they saw them well before the MG saw them. And then people used the pathfinder vision to barrage out any support weapons that they spotted TLDR path cheese into scott cheese makes MG-42s cry you just speak my god damn mind. Don't forget this pathfinder can camo to provide high LoS too. Currently as Ostheer I use my 251 halftrack and turn on OP mode to spot pathfinders (firing flare for LOS / minimap detect) and my OKW mate makes JLI to detect through minimap. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST sniper need nerf.16 Jan 2022, 12:42 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Oct 2021, 11:57 AMsuora great comedy thank you friend Actually this is kinda viable against most normal sniper user: at first they did micro a lot and care for counter sniper but later they didn't anymore => rip enemy sniper. But against actually good sniper user? Good luck because those guys ain't gonna take any bait: always stay behind, shoot and run and repeat. Against good sniper user you can see the way they micro their sniper to know if you are fighting against one, if I meet these kind then I will actually make a sniper to shoot his infantry in return (as a saying: you are not the only one with sniper in this game, make him focus on his sniper too) and spam my 251 Flare + Recon Plane to scared him off.

Thread: Lefh 1057 Nov 2021, 17:04 PM A quick question: My OKW Mate said I should use recon plane or Flare to give him sight so the OKW LeFH can shoot with high accuracy when target is actually visible, is that correct? I saw that whenever I give him sight then he actually have decent accuracy but I'm not sure if it's luck or really true? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced7 Nov 2021, 16:44 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2021, 08:10 AMmrgame2 i am a low level 2v2 wehrboo and i faced the exact same issue you stated. crazy accurate how you typed it out matches 100%. pathfinders on arranged team are cancer. even rando Usf experienced with this build order are as deadly impossible to play against even if you are similar ranked wehr and randoms. I find it the best way to deal with this is to let my OKW mate with his JLI to deal with it. Myself as Ostheer I will deal with the Soviet / UKF. Let 50 sight fight against 50 sight, not to mention JLI can detect camo unit too. At early game the Pathfinder is weak so Sturmpio + volks + kubel can deal with this pathfinders spam until 1CP and JLI come out. As Ostheer I cannot do anything against them because I don't have 50 sight and camo detection unless I upgrade my 222 with spotting scope OR turn on the infantry awareness. It's a shame but I prefer to play with 251 halftrack. Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2021, 14:40 PMVonManteuffel Same for me an my mate yesterday. We played pretty well in the beginning. We took out Clown Car from Sov player and got good map control. USF started with 3 Pathfinders. My Jägers could hardly fight them but with Luchs support, I had a small chance. But as soon as the AT gun was on the field, Luchs was useless. You cannot flank or attack anymore, just a waste of fuel. And then, few mins later, 3 Scotts were on the field. 2 of my Jägers got wiped out with single shots. GG, game over. This game pretty sucks right now and it has absolutely nothing to do with skill. Its just abusing a pretty bad balanced combo: Pathfinders + M8 Scott. Making Pathfinders 1CP like Jägers would help by a lot. So USF players would need to build some core ifnantry units like all the others.... Yes when M8 spam hit the field then you chance of wining is very low because those thing wipe like crazy. I also agree if we can make Pathfinders start at 1CP BUT THEN we need to buff their damage or something in order to balance it out, also please do something about M8, it's not funny with it wiping atm. Also some people forgot that Pathfinders can be upgrade with BAR for better AI, pick up drop .50cal which enable them with a .50cal team with 50 sight and so on for AT gun. Panthfinders alone are nothing but right now they are the meta thanks to M8 buff. Remember OKW Tiger before patch which was a wiping pos machine? Is it fun to play against that every game? No right? Same for us in 2vs2 at the moment. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced5 Nov 2021, 18:10 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Oct 2021, 20:35 PMLady Xenarra I can't speak for 2v2 as I don't play it. You'll have to ask the 1v1 experts what they think. I see it virtually every match involving USF in 3v3 to the point I assume they will use it. Usually by high ranked players, ie: ppl you can't just outplay 2x to defeat. One person accused me of maphacking because I saw his AT guns coming via Kubel vet I but was perfectly fine with his triple Paths seeing 70+% of my army for that match. Well I can speak for 2vs2 on your behalf consider my team is level 17 with 7 replays on tightrope channel so I myself got some exp in high level 2vs2. Usually my Axis team see this pattern: 1. Pathfinder x2 + Rifleman x1 OR Pathfinder x3 2. .50cal from Tier 2 OR airdrop for Pathfinder to pick up 3. Flak Halftrack 4. AT gun x1 or x2 + BAR upgrade for Pathfinder 5. M8 x2 or x3 6. M36 Jackson And this is pure cancer build: with Panthfinder ready at 0CP, my Ostheer MG42 is useless because they already spot it before I can spot pathfinder and later in the game as Ostheer I would just bleed out from the M8 spam. Tbh whenever my team play 2vs2 and I see (and feel) that the USF gonna play Pathfinder spam I'm just gonna switch side with my OKW mate so he can use JLI to counter this (They come out at 1CP, can detect camo unit + also got 50 sight + can snip the shit out of them). My mate usually mix JLI with Ober in order to kill this Pathfinder quickly. So yeah, either my mate switch side and deal with USF or I say fork it and play a name match. As Ostheer player and at my current level, I'm not capable of dealing with this atm IF my enemies are good at abuse Pathfdiner spam in 2vs2. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF Pathfinders need to be balanced23 Jun 2021, 09:40 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Jun 2021, 18:07 PMKronosaur0s Yeah BARfinders are clearly a problem, not a very good design that a sniper unit can pickup a semiLMG ^ This guy! Pathfinders alone are not a problem: the problem is that they are able to pick up BAR and then can vet up and rekt Ostheer. I'm cool with their sniper rifle doesn't cost anything but please disabled their ability to grab BAR from weapon rack. P/S: Can JLI picked up drop weapons like BAR / Bren on the ground?

Thread: The devs did it again... Buffed B4 into the heaven20 Jun 2021, 17:00 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jun 2021, 16:57 PMGrumpy The problem right now is when you play with people and they don't notice the B4 commanders, and don't load counters. I just had the opposite experience in a 4v4. I used Storm but none of my 3 OKW teammates used Fuerstorm. One went Breakthrough but didn't save munitions. In the end, we got B4'd into the stone age. On top of that, they built their trucks in positions where the B4's could hit without forcing the Soviets to build aggressive B4's. I haven't played any 2v2's yet, but suppression on my units in the base retreat point will be annoying if it happens. It sounds as bad as when the Leig suppressed. I can see that would be a big problem in team game with random teammate, sorry to hear that. Before the patch hit me and my ATmate already talked and have specify build against different commanders so for us B4 is not a problem but for others playing with random I can see your reason Me personally I'm just happy it no longer a 1 shot medium like before, it was driving us crazy.

Thread: The devs did it again... Buffed B4 into the heaven20 Jun 2021, 16:28 PM I play 2vs2 and today I got to meet an AT Allies top 100 team 2 games in a row. 2 games in a row they build B4 and my OKW Teammate blew them up right at 9 CP (Going for the OKW Flame Doctrine). The B4 right now it's no longer a 1 shot medium tank which is good for us and if you playing with the ideal of counter B4 in mind then all the OKW player gotta do is save munitions + Wehr build muni cache. The reason I ( Wehr ) didn't go Stuka bomb drop doctrine is because it required 12CP before can be drop and also no Elefant :\ I feel like B4 is fine and I rather prefer my enemies to goes B4 right now because we would blow it to sky high lol In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback5 May 2021, 12:20 PM Jump back to quoted post4 May 2021, 17:43 PMEtherealDragon For #1 I wouldn't be opposed to adding Breakthrough Equipment to a second commander somewhere. It's a neat ability for players who want to do certain builds or utilize certain map quirks. 2) Doesn't the MOP already have better flares (I thought it was the same as Spec Ops flares). It might be cool if Vet 2 or 3 increased the flare range so you have more of a reason to utilize shared Vet. 1) Thanks! Ostheer is a faction that in dying need of line of sight and long range combat, having the Breakthrough Equipment to another commander/passive unlock ability would be so much better consider this unit cannot laydown demo like Engineer / having both Sweeper + Bazooka like RE / Having Sweeper + PanzerSherck like SturmPio / Having both Sweeper + pick up PIAT. 2) Right now if I'm correct then MOP will be only in 2 doctrine: Doctrine with Tiger Ace and Elefant. MOP in the Elefant doctrine already got recon plane which cost 10 more but can reveal enemy unit... I rather have the MOP flare to be the same as Soviet's Mortar Flare . In: COH2 Balance
