It would go a long way towards making USF competitive in 4v4's if they made the new, improved, Pershing non-doctrinal like the KT. They could sub in the Easy 8 into Heavy Cav. Also, USF tech is still messed up. It pays 700 MP 100 Fuel to get access to all of the weapon teams and side tech. It includes two squads that are sometimes not wanted. Ost pays 330/70 to get the same access minus the squads. USF adds in 200/40 (900/140) if they want to make light vehicles or pak howies. I'd much rather give up the free squads, pay the 330/70 and not have the strange power spikes that cause games to go back and forth. In short, USF tech is still too cheap in manpower and too expensive in fuel. In: COH2 Balance

Even with white Phos, I rarely saw the USF mortar halftrack in 4v4's of late. People just go pack howitzer because it's better by a wide margin and does not require doctrine. The mortar halftracks don't seem to be paying for themselves, at least when I try them. They don't get a lot of wipes, and in late game they'll get wiped by howitzers/rocket arty. Getting them means you've delayed your first Jackson by a minute or two and most of us would rather have the earlier Jackson. The white phos might have been annoying, at least to two prolific posters, but it didn't kill anything and was another ammo sink in a faction that doesn't need an ammo sink. The Ost mortar halftrack is still pretty good as you can flame retreat paths and get wipes. It will pay for itself regardless of what happens in late game. I'm not sure why anyone thought it needed a buff. It's going to wipe squads and team weapons like crazy, especially with the buff it didn't need. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USA September patch discussion22 Aug 2019, 19:44 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2019, 17:35 PMHon3ynuts 3 points I would like to bring up 2. Scott: I agree with the cause for these changes, the scott should not be devastating on autofire and should reward players who use barrage. The barrage however is not fantastic as it is hard to use vs moving infantry, and it is not super effective vs pak walls and weapons teams which the Scott should do better to counter. I think the barrage could benefit from having the max range increased for two reasons a. The primary purpose of this unit should be to counter weapons teams and static play using barrage. It is currently not very good at doing so and presently it is an autofire AI platform in most cases. More range and better accuracy vs static play would help differentiate it from the HE sherman b. 80 range barrage cannot be used against Pak43s. Even against a Pak 40 if the unit moves up slightly after the first hit in many cases the scott is in danger of being hit itself. Moving a Pak40 every 55 seconds(new barrage cooldown) or so is not very hard and if done the Scotts 60 autofire range puts it in danger if you try to take out this unit. Patchnotes on scott ... I understand why they're nerfing the Scott's direct fire ability. However, once that is done, you have a mobile howitzer that has the range and damage that is more similar to a mortar than a howitzer, yet the fuel cost is about the same as a real howitzer and the price and pop cap are about 2/3 of a regular howitzer. The barrage range is currently less than an LEIG. The Scott had double the range of a LEIG and about 80-90% of the range of an LEFH. In COH2 terms, it should've had a range of 120-130, barrage timers and shells about the same as on-map howitzer, and a damage profile that is about half of a regular howitzer. In: COH2 Balance

Starting with your name, you're probably one of the worst fan boys on this site - bad enough that you can't distinguish between a fan boy and someone who wants all the factions to be competitive in all game modes.

And also do not forget US gets the ambo to mobile heal/reinforce which OKW can't except for Fuersturm. The current list looks much more reasonable. I assumed that the veterancy thread was up to date.

Thread: Why USF so bad in tournaments?22 Aug 2019, 16:44 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2019, 16:03 PMJilet Agreed until bold. But rifles are expensive for a reason. Their model per stats are superior to penals. Rifles sacrifice 1 model for 20mp to differantiate from penals. Giving them AT nade behind either/both LT or CPT for free can solve their problems vs Luchs/222 etc. But I relly doubt what to do with the now empty vet1 slot considering their godly other vet bonuses. Maybe split vet3 between vet1 and vet3 ? I was comparing the cost of Rifles to Volk (or Grens for that matter). Here is a comparison of the total vet bonuses. Explain why do Rifles cost 280 and Volks cost 250. Volks get much better accuracy, cooldown and reload bonuses for a worse RA bonus. Passive healing versus the ability to throw grenades slightly more often, especially when you have no munitions for grenades anyway? Rifles Vet Bonuses: Unlocks the 'Anti-Tank Rifle Grenade' ability -38% received accuracy -20% weapon cooldown +30% accuracy -50% ability recharge time 25% grenade range Volks -20% received accuracy -40% weapon cooldown +45% accuracy Passive Healing, +20% sight range, -30% reload In: COH2 Balance

I don't get why you people are so whiny about LMG-42 upgrade on a 4 man squad. >>Agreed on Rifle nade killing a vet slot. Maybe give it with the T1 or T2 unlock like OST can be good. But those unlock costs will need to be adjusted since the total costs needs to be same with other factions. I was being somewhat sarcastic in that part of the post. If you made the faust not available until vet 1, OST would get utterly destroyed by clown cars with flamers. On a more serious note, one of the Riflemen's vet bonuses, snare, is just something that the other faction's mainline infantry get free and without vet, even though Rifles are more expensive.

Thread: Why USF so bad in tournaments?22 Aug 2019, 14:56 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2019, 21:54 PMddd Can you stop with this bullshit? OKW has free weapon upgrades and grenades and shwerer, OST has free weapon upgrades and grenades, if free officer is such a problem for USF, change it for free grenades and weapon upgrades. It will be a buff. No, make Grenadiers and Volks have to get to vet 1 before they can snare, eliminate their current Vet 1 bonus, and make them have to pay for weapon racks and grenades. Also, no more upgrading in the field. Make them retreat and pick it up at the base. Do that and I'd gladly give up the free officer. Also, since AT rifle nades have roughly a 40% chance to pen the front armor of a Panther or Tiger but Panzerfausts have about a 90% chance to pen a Sherman, the prices of the snares need adjusting. They shouldn't get this extra 50% free so the cost of the faust clearly needs to go up by 50%. Is this ridiculous? Yes, almost as ridiculous as the interminable free officer response to every argument. The LT tier and weapon racks are 200/35 plus 150/15 for a total of 350/50. Taking out the cost of the LT, the price would be 70/50. Adjust the cost to something like 100/40 which unlocks the weapon rack and gives USF the option to purchase the LT or MG's. Combine the captain tier with grenades and do the same. This would eliminate the power spike when the captain or LT hits the field. The tech time should probably be lowered for the tier unlocks and increased for the side vehicle unlock so that Stuarts or AA HT's don't arrive too early. In: COH2 Balance
