Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)6 Apr 2022, 16:54 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2022, 16:52 PMAlphrum Paths vet too quick, increasing ther vet requirements is one way to help mitigate this strat without nerfing them into uselessness. Another issue is the ambulance. USF having forward healing and reinforce at minute 1 is stupid and makes pushing USF back almost impossible. BUT This is only true vs organised teams though as if the average noob does it, tends to lead to a dead ambo. That being said if you dont go this strat, i find USF very underwhelming in team games and the most boring faction to play with. If there is any future patches and this Strat gets nerfed, hopefully at the same time other areas of USF gets buffed Agree on the vetting of paths. Ambu is more than fine right now. 250mp and 10fuel is a huge gamble in early game and the potential reward of forward healing works great. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 76mm Sherman and M4C's AP shell needs a small buff I think6 Apr 2022, 16:47 PM More of a philosophical question than an actual contribution: why not make USF a "build your custom tank" kind of faction like they were in COH1? Why have so many stock variants of the 76 chassis? Why not give the vanilla unit for, say, 100 fuel and limit its AI/AT capabilities and then pay as you go to upgrade either for specialization in AI, AT etc. Again, I am not expecting any changes in COH2, it just baffles me how many variants of the same tank exist in game in places where an actual creative contribution could have been made.

Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)6 Apr 2022, 16:15 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2022, 15:39 PMBlueKnight I highly encourage anyone who has not yet watched the video linked in OP to watch it. It is top players' experience that pathfinder spam is the strongest strat to deal with. Gachi's comments were on point and Esxile's point of view, despite being on the whiny side, to some extent I agree with it, but I think the issue lies in USF weapon upgrades being strong en masse in late-game and unaffordable in early-game, which affects Riflemen performance. I agree with Shadowlink's statement that pfusilier spam is braindead as well, but it's not quite as strong as pathfinder spam and it deserves a separate topic. You touch something different than what I mean in this topic. You don't reach ISU-level long games when you play vs competent pathfinder spammers, because they win even sooner than that. I don't mean meta being annoying, I mean 1 strategy being undeniably and disgustingly the strongest way to play a faction in 2v2. Also who doesn't veto Rails and Metal deserves it It all depends on the level of communication in the opposing team. If they are both braindead but know each other/talk during the match/cover each other you are 100% fucked if you play with random, even if you are top 500 material. Same of course can be said about any kind of spam really: pfussies spam, JLI spam (boy is that cancerous), (insert stock british medium tank) spam, etc etc etc In: COH2 Balance

M4C is pretty underrated for SOVs. Decent tank in all aspects, more pricey, and you get the smoke. All in all, good. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I was right AGAIN about COH3 development6 Apr 2022, 13:39 PM I said Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2022, 16:48 PMBasedSecretary I am all in for that, but first let's make sure to NOT turn every match into a 25minute fight for fuel. Manpower points should be a good first step. Then we talk about modes. If I could pick one, I would make a "zombie apocalypse" type thingy that you just fight an endless horde of Nazis/Allies and try to make the best score with buddies. Full of choke points etc. I know there is a mod for that on COH2, but it's complicated because it requires another whole tech structure. And a day later we get this: Defensive missions in COH3. Relic, if you want to copy my ideas at least pay me something. PM for my XMR address. In: Lobby

But in practice it really doesn't, good players already tried it and doesn't work of path player is half competent. The only weakness of this strat - if enemy blob is bigger then yours and it can just outgun you. And this is why Scotts are part of this meta, because they remove this weakness. This is pretty much why a lot of people hate path meta. Ofcourse. No plan or strategy survives first contact with the enemy, but what can you/we do really? I don't expect Paths to get nerfed somewhere in the future for 2 reasons: it would make all the usf mainlines idiotic and it would make the USF as a whole obsolete. I have come across path spamming a lot of times in the past, it surely was annoying having all that pressure especially as a leisurely "hide behind MG" axis player. But tbh you learn to counter it as all things in this game. Mortars, mg, sniper anything you can have have it. I would really recommend assault support loiters though (I don't know if any other doc has the exact same instapin effect) that absolutely neuter them. And also good luck on the blobber when you wreck his forward ambu. Point being, I get you, but what can we do? In: COH2 Balance
