And in the larger sense, it's a slap in the face to the tradition of COH, which was originally about maneuvering, flanking, and cunning micro and tactics. All you can do is bomb it, or waste a lot of manpower assaulting it.

It lowers the skill cap of the game by its very existence.

It makes skilled players mad because their skill means nothing since any noob can throw up a Bofors and it will take only slightly less time for a top 10 player to get rid of it then another noob.

@theguyiquoted Yep exactly the same for okw flak truck and there fwd retreat truck that has a million hit points (sarcasm) but seriously. Just as cancerous but some how its ok because its tied to teching, bad design. Laugh at people who can't deal with bofors.


@whatothersposted You can't compare the brits and ost situation then ignore usf problems dealing with okw flak truck. Every faction has there achilles heals some more then others to certain factions. I disagree with it anyway pak gun, mortar ht, reg mortar, etc its not like they are useless after you kill the bofors you were probably going to build them anyways. I realize some are doctrinal but thats why you choose doctrines. if you kill the bofors your going to hurt the brit player really bad because his whole sim city is about to crash. Its not really that cheap to build either it cost fuel and mp to unlock and fuel and mp to build.

The only problem I have is how much health or whatever stats OST sniper has that makes them so durable. The other day I flanked an ost sniper do not think it was vetted maybe vet 1 at most with a full rifle squad. He immediately retreated and the sniper had to run right BESIDE my full rifle squad and he still survived. That is just dumb he should of been punished for being caught off guard by my rifles but more times than not the damn thing gets away with a sliver of health. Rifles also do shit dmg from far away so its hard to attack the sniper at range and it should be but come on the fucker had to retreat and run right by my full hp rifle squad and lived so they had like i dunno 5 - 10 seconds of time of all 5 firing at the sniper some shots at close range.

m20 counter is a huge risk with luchs and 222 coming out as fast as they do m20 field time is very limited and has a very small window to kill the sniper. I'm not even sure if you trade the m20 being killed for a sniper kill if that is even worth it maybe if they have two and you get both with it. I'd rather try to hold out for stuart and just let sniper bleed me.

UKF sniper is way too fragile I think or maybe it is in a good spot and more like how all snipers should be not with crazy body armor as he can be killed rather quickly if you let volks or grens fire at him.

I think the combination of how strong ost sniper is and 222 rush the way it has been buffed is a bit much.

Ok he couldn't really one volley them but almost he also had rifles in his blob that might of had zooks too but he basicly took out the panther on approach before it could even reverse away. He was a one man axis tank wrecking crew which something like that can only work in 4v4. USF version of volk blob.

We will see how it plays out I was more for the creating a 4 man AT squad than fixing the shrek problem by giving volks faust instead. The advantage against okw early was always that you knew they pretty much can't snare you just like luchs against brits early game. I think it will have a big impact on USF with the the reg sherman and ez8 survivabilty going way down being constantly crippled.

I don't know that the dmg really matters most AT snares need the vehicle to be dmged first before it will work anyway. You use it for the cripple not the dmg at least imo.

PFs always were general infantry replacement to me, their toolkit supports exactly that, mobility, field presence, active ability with nades and AT nades.

Thats general infantry, not AI specialist.

Yes, but in light of volks getting a snare? Like all call in allied units don't have snares but even ostruppen do. I just feel like as allies this is going to completely kill light vehicle play and ez8 - t85 flanks are going to be fucked because you almost any infantry they got can snare you and your just fucked 99% of the time when that happens as you know. Sure they wont have shreks anymore but they will compensate with rakaten spam.
