Thread: breakthrough equipment 20 Oct 2020, 23:48 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2020, 17:03 PMVipper well the 5 men pioneer have extra manpower and pop... And that is why I am suggesting change that will not simply nerf them but will also remove the MU cost for having access to the rest of abilities. One could even move it CP 0-1 Overall it's a nerf I would say. The commander isn't really munition's heavy since there is no offmap if you don't count the HT flares that nobody uses so using munitions for the upgrade doesn't hinder the commander all that much. The repair speed is the main draw of the upgrade and you aren't going to need satchels very often at 0-1 CP or want to waste munitions on using them at that point of the match so that buff is pretty much useless in exchange for losing repair speed when I've never seen anybody complain about Pioneer repair speed with the upgrade.

Thread: breakthrough equipment 20 Oct 2020, 16:58 PM When I did cheat mod tests a while back it looked like 5 man pioneers repaired faster than breakthrough equipment just eyeballing it. This commander is mostly picked for the Ace/Ass Grens so I don't see any particular need to nerf an ability that's an afterthought in it when it's outperformed by another commander on top of that.

Thread: Late game USF in 2v2?19 Oct 2020, 17:15 PM Urban Assault is usually a safe bet if you get good with with Calliope and cheesing with Cover to Cover Zook Rangers it can cover up a lot of USF's late game weaknesses In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Panzerfüsilier Squad VS Volksgrenadier5 Oct 2020, 16:30 PM I feel like it comes down to playstyle. Players who like to blob into retreat paths or don't have as good micro probably favor Fusies due G43s better moving Acc and the 6th model meaning you are punished less for late retreats. The extra sight/flares also isn't nothing if you're playing against MG spam and need the extra sight for flanks. I always build at least 1 Volk for sandbags - never go full Fusies IMO.

Thread: COH2 for xbox game pass has different servers?23 Sep 2020, 20:29 PM Once the crossover happens it'll be nice to have an increased playerbase. Less nice when you get matched up with all the noobs and have to carry them but take the good with the bad i guess In: Lobby
Thread: Why Soviets are OP23 Sep 2020, 20:27 PM I look forward to OP doing this for each faction. Really get the fanboy juices flowing all around In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lower the price of the Stuka to foot or buff it 10 Sep 2020, 18:16 PM Meanwhile USF and UKF cry in the corner and wish they had non-doc rocket arty. Stuka could use some quality of life changes like buffing the incendiary ability (Vet1 w/ tweaks) and maybe adding a circular pattern barrage as a vet 3/4 ability or something. Otherwise it's hardly bad in the hands of a skilled player. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Limit to 1 ALL heavys4 Sep 2020, 16:13 PM KV1s you just have to outrange with Panther or StuG spam - you don't have to kill it but if you make it impossible for him to push forward with risking a few back to Pens then it's hard for him to use it effectively. Having Stuka CAS in your loadout helps too - just wait for it to be damaged and then pop it when you see an opportunity for the kill. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: So does anyone ever actually use Osttruppen reserve ?1 Sep 2020, 14:49 PM Could always replace it with the old "Recoup Losses" from Overwatch where you would get a portion of your lost manpower back. That ability wasn't great either but it serves the same function and is a bit more flexible since you can spend the recouped MP on whatever you like. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: UKF Assault Officer 27 Aug 2020, 15:32 PM I'm curious if anybody uses him effectively regularly and in what context (Commanders, builds, etc.) Obviously CQC maps are more feasible but after experimenting with him I find him pretty so-so often bleeding MP more than I would like and just wishing that I'd used Commandos or Assault Sections instead.
