Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback23 Apr 2019, 16:30 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2019, 10:18 AMEsxile - No vision to make its strikes more accurate I keep suggesting Rifleman Flares to be added to Urban Assault Package for Calliope spotting but alas it hasn't caught on yet. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet General Faction Changes - New cmdr mod 5.019 Apr 2019, 17:34 PM If the 7 Man Cons don't cut the mustard then why not give the 7th man a PPSH (maybe buffed to closer to Thompson levels?) It would further emphasize their role as troops that do better at closer range while still being slightly better DPS wise. If you wanted to be thematic about it you could have 7th man be a commissar model and have it be squad leader type situation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Poll - Buff unviable commander abilities16 Apr 2019, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2019, 19:01 PMVipper Mechanized Grenadier Group can be replaced by the 250 in infatry or have lower CP and come with a unique squad like Panzerfusiliers/Volkgrenadeir or the 6 mean repair squad from campaign. I like the idea of a unique squad as the Mechanized Group - as it stands getting a vanilla Grenadier (even with "Free" LMG) isn't too exciting and as said above - comes too late and doesn't make sense delaying your build order just to get a 250 and Grenadier you could build from Tier 1 anyway. A unique squad would make it worth to make a build order that worked the Mechanized Group into it. Bonus points if the squad would promote combined arms light vehicle play to be thematic.

Thread: Poll - Buff unviable commander abilities16 Apr 2019, 20:47 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2019, 18:50 PMDerbyHat Entrenching tools are a nice idea, considering Osttruppen have it in other doctrines. You think they should still come with 2 squads if they get the option for AT rifles? I think 2 squads would be fine with AT Rifles - AT Rifles alone are never super threatening and would merely be a LV deterrent as I imagine it in my head. If it's a little too powerful you could always disable Faust with AT Rifle upgrade so you can't snare and kill with cheap squads too easily. Would be a nice doctrinal alternative to the expensive PZ Gren Shreks for mobile AT I think. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Poll - Buff unviable commander abilities16 Apr 2019, 18:14 PM Relief Infantry would be better if it's duration was increased by a little bit I think. It would be nice if Ostruppen Reserves were equipped with entrenching tools (sandbags and such) and maybe have an option to upgrade AT Rifles and Light AT Mines to better fit defensive theme. Honestly for Mechanized I think it would be cleanest to just give them the plain 250 HT ability from Infantry (or lock the group behind BP1 so it has same timing if you really want the combo). For supply drop I think idea # 2 is perfect - just mirror it to Brit Tactical support ability essentially. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Feedback for New Commander mod 4.0 - OST core changes15 Apr 2019, 12:34 PM I know it's low priority but if PGs keep their new Vet 1 Combined Arms Passive I'd love to see Infantry Doctrine Veteran Squad Leader upgrade for PGs changed so that they get something new now that the upgrade is Stock Vet.

Thread: Preventing WC-51 and Clown Car Cheese12 Apr 2019, 17:42 PM How would that help? Clown cars are usually used with flamers so I don't think preventing mobile mine sweeping (to I assume help mines be a counter?)would really work. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Cav Rifles9 Apr 2019, 15:11 PM Calvary Rifles fill in for a regular Riflemen in your build and they by default have longer range snares so it's not much more micro taxing in that regard. As a type of Riflemen you can argue they should have snare and that it fits thematically as a close-range specialist. Do they really need the satchel to be an effective unit? Not really, but I think the only reason you would need to remove the satchel was if their AI power was so oppressive that they were more of a AI specialist instead of a generalist unit which I don't think is the case. (though they are built primarily for AI I would say) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Every faction should have weakneses.9 Apr 2019, 02:50 AM Because they have snares on Sappers? Lol If they couldn't crutch on 5 man Tommies they'd easily be tied with OST as worst faction currently IMO. Their indirect fire is still lacking and their stock Armor is still on the borderline UP/Just OK side aside from Churchill and Croc. 1v1 perspective of course. In: Lobby
Thread: Should all AT rifle have normal rifle accuracy？8 Apr 2019, 15:30 PM You clearly weren't around for the "Dank Hunters" patch where you could just spam PTRS cons and hard counter everything through the early-mid game. Fun times. In: COH2 Balance
