- USF Infantry: Needed a third usf commander. I think this one is used the fewest, thats why it has been added

How about replacing Infantry company with Rifle company?

Here I was thinking you were going to talk about the actual mod. Silly me for reading the thread title.

I know that the current CoH2 main game is not the same at all like the actual whole mod of miragefla. But Relic's (lazy?) partial implementation of the mod caused these issues I adressed above :/

Now it has been ~3 months since the Balance mod was implemented into the main game, with the target to make this game more balanced. But was this really successfull?

The faction with the biggest changes was definetely OKW. I like the idea of changing this faction to one that requires (more) skill to be lethal, instead of Volksgren - schreck blobs that wreck everything. But I dont understand why repairs and especially heals are currently so freakin overpriced for OKW (if you compare it with all other factions).

Also, why got volks blobs nerfed (right decision), but at the same time, allied lmg-/ guards-/ etc. blobs or spam were not touched/nerfed at all (wrong decision imo), penals (blobs) even got a huge buff. MG34 is kinda garbage in such situations cuz allies have stronger mortars and indirect fire, also Ive seen lmg blobs roflstomping a green covered mg34 before it managed to surpress a single squad at least

This is a good example for this huge problem: https://www.coh2.org/replay/55608/vaux-farmlands-vs-the-red-army

Even though miragefla did a great job with fixing issues like overperforming mines, also he tried to force players to invest more micro in their inf for flankings (right decision, but did this work?) ... the Balance is still not working properly imo and needs to be adjusted

NOTE: This is my experience from a mass of 2v2 games.. I think 1v1 is the only mode without those huge issues?

Here is an old replay where exactly this smurf account was used against me. COINCIDENTALLY Paula ALWAYS comments on such replays with his main acc, either with "innocent" questions or defending that he has no smurf accounts

I honestly don't know when the symbol shows up as I tend to make sure there is enough spots in cover before ordering squad to move into it, so when they arrive and the symbol shows up they are all in cover. But it is true that squad with one soldier not in cover will still have the symbol, and that could be something to be changed.

I still don't think that allowing some part of squad to be out of cover unsuppressed is a good idea. This could make some directional cover positions really hard to suppress with flanking fire and some squads, like shocks, PPSh cons, volks, BAR riflemen and so on, can kill whole machinegun team with 2 or sometimes even one member that runs past mg without being suppressed. Not to mention that squads with nades have one special member that always throws nades, if that was the one someone extracts from the squad, all mgs would be doomed by exploiting such mechanic.

yeah you are right, and as I said it's not a big deal, so I think it's the best if it stays like it is
