Another philosophical question... Each other. A husband and wife are stronger than a man and woman In: COH2 Balance

This is probably an urban myth. On the contrary : Weapon Teams Focus on improving early game flow and balance. Weapon teams should be support units rather than front line soldiers. The Maxim and MG42 had their weapon profiles adjusted slightly, resulting in some performance modifications. As a result of this change, the Maxim should suppression slightly faster than before. Their overall DPS remains relatively unchanged. The changes to weapon traverse make flanking a MG easier when using multiple squads. Simply when OKW where released people noticed that they lucked the proper tools to deal with HMGs and abuse it. Maxim HMG We felt the Maxim HMG was overperforming in the early game due to its fast set-up. We also made adjustments to its build time and cost so it takes longer to reach the field and so it doesnt replace mainline infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The State of Conscript Assault Package in the current game.7 Sep 2019, 13:07 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2019, 12:53 PMgbem then why not make 7 man conscripts come at the same time as the STG44? theyre comparable upgrades but conscripts get horrible treatment from the balance team because of penals... >.> If you can not see why 7 men conscripts from minute 2-3 would be broken I can not help you. Ask the MOD team. As for St44 I have said it this many times one need to rethink/redesign it. And Idea behind the 7 men conscripts is this: To improve the performance of Conscripts, while retaining their role as utility infantry that excel at defense and supporting other units, we have added an upgrade to help them scale into the late game. The extra man and reduced reinforce cost will allow them to more effectively trade against opposing infantry while the veterancy bonus will allow fresh Conscript squads to gain veterancy.

And if they're not, is there another reason for the timing disparity? For many reason including faction design. For instance MP-40 where CP 3 no one would ever use the ability because they would already have ST44. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USA September patch discussion7 Sep 2019, 02:56 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2019, 02:44 AMMazianni Mortars are for countering support weapons, and Ostheer has the best anyway, and depends on them the most as you say. That is the whole point. Ostheer is generally going to need a support weapon counter like the mortar less in general compared to other factions. Theirs happens to be the best anyway and whatever - thats cool. Nobody is asking for a nerf. But good news is devs did buff counter barrage for the Grw34, so technically speaking it does get the extra range back in a barrage duel / counterfire role. If you want more done with it specifically, however, thats a subject for the Ostheer thread. I am simply tired of reading again and again how the USF mortar was nerfed (as if it was the only mortar affected) and how bad it is live (I am not saying that you wrote that), when this is simply not the case. The fact that MOD team decided to buff the vet 1 ability of the Ostheer mortar and the MHT while nerfing the other USF option is further indication how powerful USF indirect fire support become after the mortar/tech changes. I had actually brought up that point at it during the preview. (edited to add more changes) In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USA September patch discussion7 Sep 2019, 00:45 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Sep 2019, 20:14 PMMazianni ... CLAIM: Indirect fire nerfs have hurt Ostheer more than anybody else POSITION: FALSE, indirect fire is designed SPECIFICALLY to counter the form of play that OSTHEER falls into. General IDF nerfs, particularly ones that happen to still leave Ostheer with the best mortar, do NOT harm Ostheer more than any other faction, and this claim is absurd no matter how you look at it. .... The Ostheer strength was support weapon, a nerf all mortar affect ostheer the most, the same way that if all HMFG was nerefed ostheer would be affected the most or if all light vehicles where nerfed ostheer would be affected the least. With 15 more range the ostheer mortar had a better chance to win a dual.It is a simple as that. The ostheer mortar might be the "best" but the difference is currently minimal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Changes to Wehrmacht's Storm commander7 Sep 2019, 00:01 AM One might have reason to built the 222 the point is that the riegel mine ability is a bit lackluster since it requires the 251 to be deployed. In: COH2 Balance
