Thread: Relic, an idea for Volksgrenadier improvement15 Nov 2014, 06:16 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2014, 06:06 AMbraciszek I thought it would be cool if... Volksgrenadiers get a 40-50 mp package of 3 stg44's and the panzerfaust ability. Single schreck with cold immunity gets moved to the sturmpioneer but costs 60 munitions. And r43 can shoot as soon as all other at guns when it sets up. With this, OKW has better counters to early AT, and volks are still valuable. No LMG's. There are better ways to make a squad better without needing to drop an LMG into their hands. Schreck is cheaper so it is still a good choice, but it cannot be blobbed. Best handheld AT weapon on cheapest squad... A no brainer upgrade and strat. And OKW infantry AT ability doesnt go down with this suggestion. Best handheld AT on cheapest squad?? 320 MP... This would leave OKW with extremely fragile sturmpio AT and would have to rely way more heavily on the unreliable raketen. Terrible idea. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Heavies vs mediums - unfair and stagnating the meta6 Nov 2014, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2014, 17:48 PMelchino7 85s on themselves are not ridiculous. DOUBLE T34/85s with MARK VEHICLE are up to the same level as Tigers and IS2s. This thread is not focusing on Axis OP, Allies UP or Tigers as it seems you like to take the thread. Rather than: this is why the meta is boring and why it is harder to play with medium tanks rather than heavies/call ins. Theres a reason you'll see 90% of the time a match with a Tiger, IS2, ISU or T3485s. Ciez's thread focus on cost relationship between call ins and tier tanks. On this thread OP is trying to focus on micro requirement, risk and the disparity of possibilities on dealing with them. You're right I did get a little off topic. At the same time, you seem to contradict yourself when talking about call-ins vs the innate advantage of heavies over mediums. I mean you can't say that t34/85s are on par with the heavies and then say there's an imbalance. AND I still think you can't consider units in a vacuum. I mean why try to stack up plain t34/85s to heavies when you know that you're going to be using Mark Target? Same goes with USF and p47s. Unless you think that the balance is just so screwed up, then it seems like a moot point. Also I agree with the Ciez thread about call-ins themselves being too strong, regardless of the unit type. However I don't think that should affect this discussion. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Heavies vs mediums - unfair and stagnating the meta6 Nov 2014, 17:33 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2014, 17:21 PMfineschmecker So you're basically denying the fact that Axis has a better late game and you can't see any connection between the percentage of axis-won games after the 30- or 40-minutes-mark and the performance of axis and allied armour. Serioulsy? Honestly I am against having heavies or super heavies in the game in first place. They reward you for playing campy and stalling the game. Where is the point in that? CoH2 already feels much more static than it's predecessor. Heavies are just amplifying that. Do you have the data to back that up? Allies have some pretty significant late game power in the form of ISU, IS2, Jacksons, T34/85s, Mark Target, P47s, B4, etc (like I already mentioned). Are you going to try to deny that these are ineffective units? OKW can save up all game for a KT only to have it killed instantly by the ridiculously common tactic of t34/85s + mark target and P47s. As for your second point, I feel like you didn't actually play CoH1, otherwise you'd remember the fun that was the British and also Wher t2 (defensive and terror). Both SUUUUUPER mobile and not static playstyles. Also it wasn't like you saw them frequently or anything.... /s In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Riflespam-how heavy?6 Nov 2014, 17:14 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2014, 17:13 PMtheblitz6794 I don't see it. On more open maps there's less chokepoints so it's easier to flank, in principle, and get close. On closed maps, a single mg can hold off an entire lane. Smoke nades/ regular nades.

Thread: Heavies vs mediums - unfair and stagnating the meta6 Nov 2014, 17:05 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Nov 2014, 17:02 PMdrChengele Well, yes, otherwise anyone fielding a heavy would automatically win the game, which is clearly not the case. My problem with the heavies is that you see them too often, and that's because they are a tad too easily obtainable (all except KT are call-ins after all), and a tad too powerful when compared to mediums. There is also the authenticity argument. I didn't want to invoke that because I wanted to focus on balance, but the game is not FUN if all the gameplay is concentrated on a "boss unit". The sad part is that when mediums clash, this is where the game shines. Too bad that a Tiger or an IS2 are just around the corner... Tigers get destroyed by Jacksons, T34/85s, p47s, etc. I don't see why people complain about heavies when t34/85s are a ridiculously strong call-in. If we're talking about units that are anti-fun, I think ISU and JagdTiger are way worse (mainly ISU because of the squad wiping bonus). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Heavies vs mediums - unfair and stagnating the meta6 Nov 2014, 16:46 PM I get what you're saying, but I don't believe in trying to compare CoH units in a vacuum. For example, your argument does take into account whether the mediums are able to get rear armor hits (which is common when you outnumber the heavy), DPS lost by the heavy due to having to traverse a slow gun vs fast enemies, the strength of supporting off-map abilities like Mark Target or P47s, and lastly range differences between tanks (Jacksons getting free damage due to superior range). As you can see there are too many factors that prevent heavies from being outright superior. It's not like you see Tigers or KT straight rolling over the Allies; they have a pretty decent number of ways to combat heavies in my opinion. In: COH2 Gameplay

I'll keep it up,. Anyways. Episode 527 is up. Porygon vs Tristan : Not to detract from your analysis of the game, but I feel like the 3 squad wipes in the span of a few minutes were a pretty big deciding factor.... In: COH2 Shoutcasts
