Thread: Diversifying USF gameplay - Two Commander ideas18 Aug 2015, 16:00 PM +1 on Air Assault USF CAS Doctrine? Time to see how much the Krauts like it In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 15:26 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 14:30 PMLucas Troy My original post: better at suppressing blobs This. The MG34 is supposed to be a wide-arc area lock-down that slows down advancing troops and eventually pins them to let Strumppios, Obers, Etc. do the damage. Maxims may do better individual suppression/DPS but you won't see it suppressing multiple squads as you do the MG34 unless the squads are hugging. I wouldn't be opposed to a slight bump in MG34 damage because its DPS IS abysmal but its MP cost would have to increase to compensate. That being said, its role of "Cheap blob slower" is working as intended I would say. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What to do with the MG34?18 Aug 2015, 14:03 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 10:10 AMAustralian Magic That's not best idea, unless you change Kubel to something similar during alpha. Not to mention 1 CP further delays the already limited window of usefulness. And a 0 CP call-in out be hard to balance IMO due to cut-off rushing gayness that would almost certainly be abused. It does its job well enough for its insanely low cost. I think part of the problem is that a lot of players are gotten so used to the MG42 that its hard to tolerate the 34 (though OKW with MG42 would be kinda OP I think). It doesn't help that the Kubel is a weird unit that has a limited window of usefulness and is kind of worthless because of 1. Stupid 100% Main Gun Destroyed Crit by small arms fire bug 2. Probably the most retarded pathing in the game In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of USF18 Aug 2015, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 13:01 PMGiaA Due to low reinforcement cost Interesting, I've seen a few people mention using BARs on RETs and now I'm intrigued to try it. I do wonder though, how do RETs compare to Rifles in terms of received accuracy/survivability? I've always shyed away from spending Munis on them because I feel as if they are super squishy. Is it better to straightaway give them BARs or only late-game when you're buying them to replace lost Rifles? Would be cool if BARs buffed Volley Fire to make it non-shit. In: Lobby
Thread: SU-76 Spam?17 Aug 2015, 19:11 PM Another weakness of SU-76 is they have a pretty horrid turn rate, if you can flank/blitz (What you can use Blitz offensively!?) past them initially its pretty much GG SU-76s. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Cookiez Christmas list17 Aug 2015, 16:41 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2015, 16:12 PMTechBee This whole debate is just pointless, since why would you buff and add new units to the most OP faction right now. I mean they have best everything: Well yeah, when you mix and match the best parts of every commander of course any faction is going to look good. Also, "most OP faction" In: Lobby
Thread: Mechanized Grenadiers17 Aug 2015, 16:27 PM Idk, I enjoyed using the PZ Gren version in Mech Assault last patch before the Stug E got nerfed. It has its uses. 1. Quick flank via drive-by of HMG/Mortar/ AT Gun Etc. 2. Quick Capping/Harassment (I personally enjoyed Semois fuel decap) Of course setting you back fuelwise is a downer but it can be a worthwhile tradeoff if you use it right. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What would the UKF be like on release...17 Aug 2015, 15:03 PM I wasn't in Alpha but it's safe to assume that some general tweaking will be needed after the release with some mix of UP/OP of various units. Of course we all know there are going to be several XXX OP threads as players figure out how to deal with the Brits regardless of how UP/OP the units actually are. That being said free hats are awesome. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: M26 Pershing/Calliope Debate17 Aug 2015, 13:14 PM Calliope would be very welcomed for me. I feel like some of USF late-game struggles comes from their lack of real artillery so its very difficult to clear out an Ost. player who has dug in somewhere with MG42s and Paks especcially on certain maps like when you spawn South on Langresaya In: Lobby
