Vet1? Soviet Unit?

What's the question? Give it a Flare Mine ability already!

My personal reason is that demos are immune to minesweepers. A demo might get revealed but still it will wipe the pioneer squad if the Sov players is not asleep.

A demo will wipe everything in its AOE (other than 'regulaar' mines that will only kill 2 people at best'), a teller mine will "only" destroy the engine, and if there is no follow up AT by the german player, you can repair your tank and drive away again.

I have to say that I love Riegel mines.

Artillery is the only thing that does not need a single buff.

The LeFH and the Soviet M-30 are situational (e.g. to counter OKW aggressive Flak HQs or to counter British Sim City). They are not meant to wipe inf on a regular basis like mortars do.

And mortars are imho the biggest problem CoH2 currently faces. Sure the Comet is OP but the mortar pit is what makes Brits so strong.

E.g. on Rails And Metal, you rush your MG to the bottom house, place a mortar pit behind it and lock down the sector with a Bofors + Forward Base. You then have a building complex that needs a lot of micro from your opponents to counter it, because the mortar pit counters everything besides LeIGs, while you do not have to make a single click anymore and can concentrate on other parts of the battle.

If you play MG -> Section -> Section -> T1 -> Pios -> Bofors -> Mortar Pit -> AT Gun -> Forward Base -> T2 -> Hammer -> Comet Spam ,then you have a low micro anti everything build that especially Ostheer has nothing do do against because of the lack of LeIGs and the Bofors which counters the Flame HT.

Big kudos to the patch team.

Now we just need to fix Axis armour and revamp UKF without slaughtering them.

I think you will manage to do it until June? :^)

Out . Of . Scope .

The idea with the 222 is that it can now deal more damage to infantry in the short window it can fight infantry that is not in cover. Their staying power is unchanged and they will cost a whole lot more, enough so ostheer is pretty much going all-in with their fuel investment for 222s.

Considering 222s had to more or less make sacrificial dives to be worth it, this means the 222 won't be able to perform that same role.

The 222 is kind of like the flakht for okw now: too expensive, poorly timed, highly situational, and ineffective in its role.

222 has been an issue since day 1. The dang thing is supposed to be closer to a kubel than the 234 puma it's pretending to be.

What as good as most players don't know about the 222 is that it deals insane damage if it targets enemies IN FRONT of cover.

so just a quick sketch:

X = The 222
O = The enemy units
| = Cover


In this case, the 222 will do almost zero damage:

              |

     X       |   O

              |

But if you manage to get the enemy in front of the cover:

              |

   X     O |  

              |

It will deal as much damage as an Ostwind because the projectiles will stop directly behind the enemy troops, dealing splash damage almost exactly near the target.
