Thread: Beef's Beef: Soviet Infantry Woes7 Feb 2016, 03:12 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2016, 20:10 PMAustralian Magic Complelty pointless "fix" for Penals. WHy would I uise them? Low DPS, weak upgrade and of top of that 300MP. Penals are almost fine currently. They do the job on urban maps. The only thing they need is to take out one 30%+ accuracy (they got 2x30%) and give them -30% rec. acc. By doing that, they won't drop like flies and their close/mid range combat will be way more efficient. If by "do the job" you mean fulfill an identical role to flamer Engies and Shocks while eating up a valuable slot in a tier that sees no competitive use in a faction that has no non doctrinal elite infantry and relies on HMG spam, I agree. Penals don't have to be an urban unit, they should be an inbetween of Cons and Guards. When you look at the Special Rifle Command, it says it deploys tough infantry for reconnaissance. Semi-elite, ranged Penals could easily represent Soviet Razvedka, too. It even makes sense thematically. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Snipers should be limited to one on the field.6 Feb 2016, 13:36 PM The only faction that struggles against Snipers is the USF which imo is bad design. But even in that matchup the nature of sniper play means that up into LT tech Rifles should have initiative while Grens + sniper defend their cut off. The sniper has little movement ability meaning you should be able to use LoS blockers to establish control and set up a large flank minimizing damage from sniper. But if you just keep putting your Rifles in one general area to get blasted like fish in a barrel while Grens win engagements, jokes on you. Once the m20 comes out its a misconception that the m20 has to chase the sniper to base, presumably over a mine that seals the game. Once a sniper retreat is forced its better for m20 to pull off, confuse Ost player, and find the most obscure route into the base while the sniper is healing. Quickly cut him down pop smoke and leave, GG. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Things relic just keeps ignoring5 Feb 2016, 21:06 PM OKW flame nades have to be better because they have to contend with the Maxim, best HMG in game that comes before first minute. Molotovs are CHEAPER, Cons can sprint, and have at nade... Wehrmacht Faust isn't free, it's included in T1 cost. They need early Faust because of early allied vehicles like m20 m3 uc etc Soviets have better light vehicles and more mobile support weapons to balance out their crappy nondoctrinal t34. ANYWAY, if opponent goes Panther don't build the unit the Panther is designed to counter OKW flak is annoying...but their tanks are expensive, and the faction doesn't have long range Pak, MG, or indirect...HMG play and indirect fire punishes them so hard that their earlier armor doesn't matter (against USF it's annoying but .50 cal + shermans/Stuarts/Howie can shut the blobs down Panzerfusilers have 6 men..and? Just build the hard counter dude, HMG or elite shock infantry like paratrooper or Soviet elite. G43 upgrade is one less shrek, if they afford shreks and g43s before you get tanks out your not applying enough pressure as Soviet or USF. Soviet sniper is better at killing other snipers/high end infantry, Ost sniper is best at holding line against basic troops, UKF sniper is anti-vehicle support and can call in arty. cons purpose are not as core troop like grenadier or rifle, they are a utility type unit that flank and harass. Use snipers, maxims and vehicles with guards to hold the Soviet late game map center All in all you just need to look at balance from every angle and improve In: COH2 Balance
Thread: i could really use some help from USF players.5 Feb 2016, 20:53 PM Against okw you go 4 rifle stuart into multiple stuart, or 3 rifle m20 aa track with usage of .50 cal and zooks Against Ost you rush m20 to kill sniper, if there's no sniper go and get multiple stuarts In: Lobby

Thread: Beef's Beef: Soviet Infantry Woes5 Feb 2016, 03:50 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2016, 03:05 AMA big guy 4u Nerf the maxim? Are you joking? It's already the slowest firing MG and does the least damage except the MG34, you want to NERF it? Are you joking? lol @Francis, it feels really, really good even if it might be OP because Soviet T2 and t70 power. Overall though it's pretty dope In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Beef's Beef: Soviet Infantry Woes4 Feb 2016, 12:50 PM Thanks for the input everyone! It's great that everyone supports re-roling of Penals, or even completely changing the unit. @Zombifrancis just because the system of commanders with guards in the title I would think that has a low chance of being patched in. It sounds amazing though. So generally we have 4 solutions including the OP: 1: buff to make them viable in current role, buff vet/rifles/satchel 2: change them into a riflemen type unit, a la OP. 3: put Penals into weird nonmeta commanders like nkvd and terror, replace in t1 with some kind of soviet long range unit that performs like cheaper but worse Guards 4: leave Penals in current role, but give some kind of AT In: COH2 Balance
