Thread: Assault Engineers UP11 Feb 2015, 00:45 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2015, 00:17 AMWingZero Didnt they nerf the DPS of the Assault Engineers on the first post WFA patch? Yes, you used to see tons of Ass Gren spam before they were moved to 280 MP and have their close range DPS heavily nerfed. They are also much more fragile since the changes to armor/received accuracy. In: COH2 Balance

But I still deal with it. The Easy Eight far out classes any medium tank OKW can produce, it would be the same if say, USF has the base Sherman and only the base Sherman. You also have the Jackson, of which there is no Japanese equivalent. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: okwunits11 Feb 2015, 00:42 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:35 PMJHeartless Thats kind of my point. The strength of OKW is elite units and elite vet. They pay for this with reduced fuel and muni income. If they dont need an abudance of muni NOR an abundance of fuel to compete then its not much of a punishment. That would be like giving USF a fuel penalty and making all their teching Free. That wouldnt be much of a penalty. OKW has no reason to really use Muni once Shreks are acquired. And due to Shreks/Obers dont really need armor either. Their manpower is also not penalized. So you get the current Meta. Kill everything MP blob with only the required 270 Muni and the rest turned into fuel. OKW would still retain all their power but would have to CHOSE what to get. They couldnt have their cake and eat it too. If they want Shreks FINE get em! No AI though so you better get a Luchs or FlakHT. And if you lose those your in trouble so Panther may not be a no brainer anymore either. Cant have Shreks and Crutch on Obers for AI anymore! Alternatively no shreks so you better get a Puma/JP4/Rak (that needs a buff) and use the Muni for your AI. So go ahead get that Panther but if you lose it your SCREWED! OH I WANT BOTH!? Well let me convert fuel to muni! See I just made OKW interesting and not mindless. This was how it was before the Muni increase when I loved to play OKW. The thing is, this is already the case. Losing tanks/vehicles as OKW is extremely costly and can often easily lose you the game. The problem with OKW is that they have nothing to spend all their MP on, ever wonder why you see nothing but infantry blobs? Because when you have normally priced vehicles but a huge fuel penalty your normally going to save for a game winner, not just something that only slightly tips the balance. Tell me, if you are playing as soviets and only had 33% fuel income, wouldn't you take every T34 loss hard? Wouldn't you instead of getting mediums and other easily killed fuel requiring units just save for something like an IS2 and spam cons and shocks to stall? Iv said it before and said it again, reduce the fuel price of OKW vehicles but increase the amount of MP they cost! That way it encourages OKW players to blob less and spend MP on vehicles, which are still critical, but easier to get out onto the field. It will remain hard to replace losses as while the tank is out and doing work your still suffering from the reduced MP income that comes with having a large amount of consumed pop cap.

Thread: okwunits11 Feb 2015, 00:04 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:23 PMPuppetmaster Katusyha is easy to avoid after the first salvo of rockets. Also please try to understand that good players will not always fire where the units are, but where they will be. Katusyha is also much more fragile and comes later than the Stuka. The blast radius is plenty big enough and it does damage stuff that it doesn't directly land on. But it still easily wipes stuff it does hit. FYI the players in that screenshot were ranked #3 in allies 2v2 AT (I was with another random okw player). After we beat them they dropped to #7. Is that your definition of bad? SU-85 is pretty easy to flank as well except its far more fragile than the JPIV and still has pathing problems just like the Jackson suffers from horrible pathing. Also seeing as you don't wish to post your player card, I will do it for you http://www.coh2.org/ladders/playercard/viewBoard/0/steamid/76561198026003886 I don't see what my player card has to do with this, the Stuka isn't bad at all, like I said it's the best Rocket artillery piece in the game at the monument, I don't think it needs to be nerfed tho.

Thread: New faction British??10 Feb 2015, 23:59 PM Even if you put the Chi-Nu in I would love to see how fun it would be to play a faction were my heaviest tank is the equivalent of the worst medium in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Remove Shreck from Volks10 Feb 2015, 23:57 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:15 PMKatitof Please, name me all these 1v1 and 2v2 maps(we're talking competitive games, right?) where you can always be in cover and approach a 50 sight range extremely mobile unit that will have infantry screen before it with your infantry without sprint that needs vet to use AT nade. Something tells me your number of allied games equals to the one of lolcake+sierra+jaigen put together. I have far more hours logged as Soviets than I do as OKW. My issue is just you saying that Volks are fine (with out shreks) because of the Kubel, when that is patently false. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: okwunits10 Feb 2015, 23:19 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:15 PMJHeartless I do. Yet I see 3x Shreks every single game. And the DPS of the LMG32 and the fact it doesnt drop out of DPS until the last model is killed is powerful. Also it adds a tactical choice and a reason for Convert Fuel to Muni to exist. As it stands its buy Shreks negate fuel penalty... A perfect example of relying on this is when people used to go with PFuse who have recieved no nerf. But once people caught on to how strong Obers are it fell out of favor. If 180 turns out to be too much then tone it down. But it shouldnt cost as little as ABs upgrade. Why not just remove it then? I mean if you make it 180 munitions you better make it so it never drops and make the squad a lot more durable since I think you are failing to recognize how much munitions that is for a resource starved faction. Your much more likely to see more people spaming volks rather than putting MP into Obers. I would be fine with a price reduction for Obers in return for them losing the LMG all together and gaining a squad member. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: okwunits10 Feb 2015, 23:15 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:07 PMPuppetmaster I did address your arguments, its called screenshots and experience against high level players, something you lack. Why should it have a cost reduction when its far superior to any other artillery in the game? I also said that you don't have to fire at where units are to wipe them, only where they move to (against poor players they often wont react in time). It's the best rocket artillery piece in the game stat wise, but it's much easier to avoid than the katyusha due to having a much more distinct firing sound and hitting in a line as apposed to a circle. Let's rest this Stuka thing, artillery is a necessary tool, and the stuka is a strong one. It requires skill to use and it's area of effect is smaller than the other artillery options (correct me if im wrong). The actual blast radius on it isn't very big, as the shells won't normally damage anything unless they hit is directly. It makes the stuka perfect for killing buildings, but that's about it. I guess as the other guy said if your playing against awful people it's pretty good, but you could say that about anything. I love this TD. Try this beast next time and turn on "Caution movement" - invisible Su-85 I just meant it's quite easy to flank, that's all. It also has horrible pathing AI. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New faction British??10 Feb 2015, 23:08 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:02 PMOmega_Warrior OKW is also a heavily infantry based faction as well most the time. Trust me it isn't as easy to kill infantry as allies as you think. And their tanks might not be tigers, but they would be cheap and plentiful if they aren't strong. Try to ignore them and you would get overrun just as you would against any allied player using shermans and t34s Japanese tanks were neither cheap nor plentiful, Japan was in the same dire situation as Germany was in late 44 due to fuel shortages. It's not that their tanks aren't tigers, it's that they are worse than literally every single medium tank currently in the game except the Command Panzer IV. And I think almost every one can agree OKW isn't a good example of smart faction design. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: okwunits10 Feb 2015, 23:05 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2015, 23:01 PMPuppetmaster It proves plenty. Its easy to vet up if your not an idiot with it. Its also easy to wipe stuff when people move their units because you just fire into where they are running. Most players are predictable. Could you post your player card so I can get an idea of what skill (or lack of) level you are playing at. How about you address my arguments? Time the sound of the stuka firing to the impact rockets and you will find it's more than enough to get out of any buildings/move any infantry unless your siting in a extremely tight corridor. The thing has already been nerfed, I don't see the point of nerfing it further when the only people it punishes are those who blob their units. And as I said before it doesn't vet up very fast at all, mostly due to the fact it's normally only hitting low cost infantry despite the fact it's a 100 fuel unit. If anything it should have price reduction (which it costing more MP of course) since it's not nearly as useful as it used to be. In: COH2 Balance
