Other than a few inconsistencies cause Relic, General purpose mines will take out 2 models from a squad so they are definately worth against factions with 4-5 man squads still
Now theyre also supposed to cause Suppression so but I feel its abit buggy, but you can understand the usefulness of this just imagine an Obersoldaten squad walking on a mine, 2 models lost and squad is suppressed then even combat engineers can force them off
I have recently decided to start playing Soviets in 1v1 (Was gonna do Wehrmacht aswell but the USF Mortar)
Now I found myself often lost by the midgame not knowing what to do or what to build, as USF or OKW I always know what I want to build and when, why etc.
I know that I lost some of my squads in pretty silly ways, I forgot about my Conscripts capping, Forget to eject Maxim sooner and forgot about taking other Maxim out, picked Maxim back up with a 3 man squad ( I fought they had 4 men )
But what I really had trouble with is those Raketens, I dont have much experience fighting them and all my tanks I felt couldve been saved, I lost like 10 but I did not have a clue on what I have to do against Raketen spam as Soviets. I was scared to use my tanks but I really wanted to push my advantage
The Raketens sneaked up on my vehicle force and with a combination of mis-micro and confusion on my part I lost 2 tanks
I planned on diving in for that Stuka you can at one point see me taking my tanks near to one of his base entrances but the Raketens stopped that and the Panther Surprised me and took out a tank
I kinda wish I went Shock Rifle for Incendiary later on but I really wanted T34/85s
So all in all, what could I do vs Raketens as Soviets, what else could I have done to push my advantage as I did control more of the map in many periods of the match and had wiped more squads
I cant really move it back anymore cause there is some people that wont be home at that time, I tried to set it up so that people from Europe and America whom are the majority of the CoH2 playerbase can get here at a good time, I for example will have to play at 5AM
But I do have plans to make it twice a day in the Future if this gets popular and people often come to it
So that if you cant make it to one you can get to the other
But for now you have to deal with it unfortunately
I will add you on steam shortly, I have the same name I have here
the same allied generals that put spotlights on their IS-2's and YOLO'd panthers in battle of seelow heights and got smashed? the ones who landed their crappy commandos and paratroopers in market garden and got blown to hell by panzer lehr division? or what about the british flank attempt that got pushed back in 2 days (LOL) around caen? the allies were slobbering autists they just had shitloads of artillery and numbers to attrit the 20% of wehrmacht on the western front you are australian so you are naturally a allied-handhold supporter.
clearly u havent fought against penal special forces battalion with volks it doesnt matter what your position is they are equipped with SVT-40s instead of mosins as their punishment for cowardice makes sense right they can just RUN UP and turn you into beef stroganoff before u fukin know it and after 5 minutes of shooting them down to 1 model they can RETREAT??? PENAL MY ASS what a load of sht really.
I can make the same point you're making by only listing situations where Axis Generals screwed up
and you're right, in all my games as OKW I have never thought the Penal squads you're talking about
Anyways saying this always beats this is silly as who every normally had better position tends to win the fight, that said keep your Volks in cover and engage at long range support them with Sturmpioneers or MG34s if units like Penals keep charging them
Infantry Sections are deadly when they have their cover bonus and your comparing a 280MP squad to a 240 MP squad, you need Snipers or Upgrades to trade efficiently with them
Also the FG42 is as good as a Bar and there is 4 of them!
You should stop saying allies weak and had superior number this and that unless you would prefer to have a 1v4 everygame
Also its 1944-1945 in Multiplayer, during this time most of commanders in the allies are competent and not clueless generals that Wehraboo Youtube Comment Generals tell you
Allied Soldiers also had alot more training as the German army was running out of Veterans and started consisting of 16 year olds and dads
I think Mortars not being able to kill more than 2-3 models a shell would be a better idea, but mines got compensated with the ability to suppress so how would mortars be compensated and dont give them the ability to suppress it will just bring back the Lieg/Pack Howie fiasco from last year
On the side note I would like if Mortars also did full damage to player owned units so that they require more micro cause atm you can run into an enemy squad if a mortar shell falls on top it will kill half his squad or more while yours barely takes any damage
How about a mod that does what you want, for example Falls and Osttruppen for OKW as well as StuG III added to their Army roaster while the KT will be removed, and we just make the Wehr a totally Eastern Front early war Army with MG34s for example? Just throwing it out there since I've done something like this before with my friends and I know how hard it can be to coordinate and make sure everyone follows the rules and restrictions.
Yeah I know how to mod the game and thought about it, but its a small group of people and can be kept in check so it isnt really worth it, at the moment there is only 3 people who signed up, so including me that makes it only 4 people total
If we get more people I'd probably make a mod that restricts certain things while making other things easier such as changing the riflemen animator under entity_blueprint_ext to that of a Airborne Paratrooper for Carentan and doing the same with Fallschirmjaegers and Obersoldaten for the same battle
But for now I need to know if people actually show up wanting to play
I also thought about making a steam group but thats if the first weekend hits it off
I might upload the replay aswell if the game is good, wont be cast worthy but fun to watch
