I also am not a big fan of overnerf/buff of relic.

But even within this patch, UKF was restricted to produce only one Balentine Tank
(Not saying previous light-tank spamming was OK, but THIS wit JLI mp 30+? Am I the only one thinking this doesn't make sense?)

And JLI's OPness is not only the matter of manpower. Of course, 250mp with 1cp was way too cost effective, yes.

But the real problem lies on it's insta kill + ignoring obstacles + house respawn.

But okay, let's see how the patch goes. And you said, THANK YOU for keeping this old game.

One vote for this.

There is just no way to counter flare + artil skill fired from nowhere.
It's not a big deal on 1vs1, but as it goes to 3:3 or 4:4, it surely works like a maphack. Only thing you have to do is just click anywhere you want to see with low cost, low CD. rifleman or soviet mortar or Brit skill does not work like that. You only can see near frontline and unit must be present near the position.

Out of the entire faction you pick these two things? They would change little to nothing in terms of balance. Although I do agree that the Raketenwerfer should have sniper-like camo and not just be able to creep around the map and ambush tanks.

If you want to nerf something about OKW then you should probably look at things like tech-free Command P5 (not saying Pershing is fine), un-counterable Spec Ops flares, 15 muni infiltration grenades, insane early game advantage, 238 armor P4 with less scatter than any other medium tank just so he can kill infantry with every shot, etc...

And at least with OKW there are certain wêaknesses that can be exploited, like lack of faust until they have a tech structure, lack of sniper, lack of caches... Ost has no weaknesses to exploit and is overall a more complete faction.

It´s more USF and UKF that are trash than OKW being OP by the way, considering Soviets did well vs OKW in GCS.

Just see those people shouting it’s well balanced even stats are saying its not.

If I go far as p4’s OPness or volks doing too good at allround with low cost or flear grens OPness on the matter it denies cover even if u dodge it.
OKW still having 5 vet system/sturmpio’s magic bag/salvage avail for all even after income patch
WM’s brumbar or overall axis’s ‘I dont need commander cause I got everything without it’ mind.
Or axis never pay anything to unlock gren/faust.
They would say I’m alli biased and close this thread.

I just wanted to pin point things that all, including open minded axis player agree and see the actual change made.



I agree on the USF UKF are broken faction in so many ways. And I don’t think up comming patch will fix it. There is just so many things that needs to be(yet never will be) done to fix it.

So instead, I just decided to start with minor things that should have been patched right after relic decided to take away resource income deadvantage from OkW.

And I do not agree that they will change little to nothing. Maybe s mine change might. Since there is just few who knows it’s damn good way to torture opponent.

But changing raket in any way I suggested will make a lot diffrence in any mode. No more raket assassination would be like christmas gift comes early.

Although I am not supporting either side I have to point out that shrecks also have lower accuracy and reload, are more expensive and they are restrictions to units that can use them.

Exactly why I'm not saying they are OP. Just saying OKW should not have access to them. They already have good enough AT methods without it.

Since statistic site has been closed, we cannot know the actual win/ratio or play games per factions. But we can surely guess some from recent tournament.

And as all of you probably aware, OKW is having it’s glorious time vs USF and UKF.[1]

I’m not gonna go far as p4 having 234 armor which can literally beats all other mid tanks or volks performing crazy well against all situation.

I just want to see 2 things fixed up.

1. Raket’s stealth ability.
It just doesn’t make sense that AT is moving around invisibly unless infantry get close enough(THAT IS 10 radius close enough).
because opponent can’t see where raket is in most of the times, they just can’t play around with armored car in midgames or tanks being aggressive even when you are having a major map control.
and 2 raket in mid-late game can do all these ninja assassin things to allie tank or vehicle.

I say nerf stealth as sniper do(stealth only at cover) or worse, stealth only when they are stationary.
If you think that is too much, maybe increase their spot range to 20 or 30 so opponent can have more chance to spot them before getting hit by them.

I saw some people crying about raket(which does not make sense at all to me) about they having short range and no heavy cover for 2 crew men...
But seriously, who needs long range when you can just walk into middle of range so you can fire 2 shots before opponent move out of range. 2 raket sneaks into mid range and 2 shot == (if not microing within 0.5 sec) tank kaboom.
And heavy cover? stealth + retreat is not enough?


2. s-mine ability for volks as command skill.
s-mine is very very annoying and good if you use it right. I’ve seen many top players playing with it very wisely and getting victory using it’s map control.
I’m not saying we should nerf s mine, cause as it indeed has some week points.
Such as long plant time(if plant all, that is) not works for tank, and the Danger sign once you step over it or see it planting.

But volks plannting s mine all over the map in 1vs1 is just not right.
It does cost you 60 to start planting mines but if you plant just 1 or 2, it cost only 15,30 munitions with fast planting time. That is done by mainline infantry normally(in this time of blobing era) 3-5 squads moving around all over the place. engis are not enouh to take mines all over the field.
Not to mention since mine has been nerfed to kill only 2 squas, s mine is the best way to wipe out retreating squad.

Just make sturmpio the only squad that can plant s mine, or make normal mine be planted by volks.

I believe balance team in coh2 have some kind of statistic on game play. I just hope they see the chart and do the right thing instead of nerfing USF or burfing grens to 5 squad.
