Thread: Conscript Builds15 Jun 2017, 15:46 PM So I'm kind of bored with Penal builds and want to experiment with more Conscript-centered builds. Looking for ideas from people who've been able to make it work for overall general 1v1 strategies. Specifics appreciated would be - T1 or T2 ? Commanders? General Build Order? Differences for OKW or OST? Thanks in advance~ In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: do brits receive double LMG nerfs?14 Jun 2017, 19:23 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jun 2017, 19:03 PMAugust1996 Yeah because you totally put IS outside cover. Who even does that? And its no longer a problem in the late game with all the explosives running around, also I have the Balance Mattress to create my own yellow cover. Oh and sandbags/trenches exist, learn to use them. Well, OP called them "mindless blobs" but the truth is if you mindlessly A-move them then you won't be all that effective. Truth is that there are several maps that require you to be mindful of how to micro and cover-hop or build Sandbags to get the most out of your Tommys. (Halbe, Crossing, Etc). It just sounds like classic "it was used to good effect against me therefore it must super easy to execute". Land Mattress isn't used every game now after it was nerfed so that degree of cratering isn't guaranteed anymore. Also in my experience you tend to not see a lot of Brens with Mobile Assault because a lot of munis goes towards light gammon bombs and flammers so it's kind of a moot point. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: do brits receive double LMG nerfs?14 Jun 2017, 18:54 PM You have to keep in mind too that Brens have a crazy long reload time of 9 seconds when Tommy's aren't receiving their cover bonus - so a double Bren'ed Tommy not in cover is going to have long periods where their DPS drops. Combined with the Vet 3 pinata effect then I'd say there are some downsides currently to double Brens. (Though they are indeed a bear to deal with if there is significant cratering going on and yellow cover is everywhere) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Eastern Front Armies Revamp 14 Jun 2017, 18:26 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2017, 19:29 PMMr.Smith It can take an upwards of 3 seconds to evacuate a building with the new changes (very close to the release-date default, but still lower). Therefore it would be kinda lame if bundle nades could take a building down together with the garrison during that time. By fixing load/unload times, garrison hopping becomes impossible, mortar counterplay vs garrisons becomes possible (now that you can't dodge every single shell). Therefore, garrisons become less cancerous; like they ought to be. Given these Garrison changes would you consider eventually changing the Volks Incendiary Grenade back to their old stick grenade when you do WFA? This change was, IIRC, primarily a fix to help a then struggling OKW vs. garrisons but now it's used as quick cover denial and gives OKW an advantage in many situations. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Scott shouldn't survive more than 2 shots.12 Jun 2017, 14:37 PM Who knew there was so much hate for the Scott when you only see them once in a blue moon in 1v1 which says pretty much all you need to know about where they are at right now. Fun fact - it's moving accuracy is 50% and it's auto fire range is 60 (the same as an AT gun). When it's barrage timer is so long it NEEDs extra HP or else its a useless fuel sink to counter support weapons that can fire back. Yes it's projectile speed is kind of silly but that's about it really. In: COH2 Balance

I would rather just see it replaced with something new or a better ability like Combined Arms which would fit in with the Armor motif - I&R - Cloak on the Move would be dangerous I think given the potency of the Arty they call in - I think you'd need to tweak the Arty itself so to avoid Arty cheese you can never see coming. If anything just give them some variation of Pathfinder sniping to make them not complete garbage as a combat unit and a one trick pony. Additions - M3 Halftrack - buff it's HP and Armor to M5 levels. Scott - HE Barrage as new Vet 1 might be good if it keeps its current barrage cooldown that takes ages - otherwise you could just decrease the barrage cool-down or buff the auto attack range a smidge so that it can actually counter PAKs.

Thread: Playing as USF is unfun anymore9 Jun 2017, 16:43 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2017, 15:57 PMLoopDloop Won't you get run over by the first panzer if you go capt/stu though? I mean, that puts you at a huge fuel disadvantage. I usually go airborne and captain so I can have all the team weapons if I so need them. I think you'd only build Stuart if you see Luches for sure as a reactionary counter - my recent experience shows that preemptive Stuart with no Luches just results in what you described since Stuart doesn't give you enough map pressure to justify building it on its own. Once you see Luches you know you have some time when you don't have to worry about PZ4. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Playing as USF is unfun anymore9 Jun 2017, 15:35 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2017, 14:59 PMTobis Against OKW I'd skip the m20 unless you crushed them early game or they went kubel spam. the Lt is still good for early aggression and the hmg AP rounds can kill a luchs pretty fast. Pop that suckwe in a building and luchs cant come near it. Stall for double RE zooks or stuart, depending on how well the game is going in your favor. Thanks for the feedback - RE zooks to push an early advantage and tech to major and Captain/Stuart if you want a more conservative approach (or if you want to stall for Call-Ins)? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Playing as USF is unfun anymore9 Jun 2017, 12:52 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2017, 02:45 AMTobis I'm loving lt m20 into hmgs this patch. With some practice you can take on 222s with the m20, feels so good to knock those out. Would you mind elaborating how this works against OKW (particularly if they go Mechanized) I often find that M20 will give you some good early pressure but after that it turns into a Luches Party (I'm starting to think it might be better to forgo Armor Skirts in favor of banking Munis for Weapon Racks and Zooks?)
