I like the idea of locking the penal package behind the AT nade a lot. Slows the easy progression of t1 a fair bit. Id even consider perhaps having satchels and demos in a side tech that allows CE to be cheaper or the demo to not suck anymore. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: allow 7 man Conscripts PPSH41 or PTRS23 Sep 2019, 22:55 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 21:56 PMLago Global upgrades are anathema to mixed compositions. Making Conscripts cheaper won't fix the fundamental design problem with global upgrades. Conscript upgrades are only cost effective if you build several squads, so there's little point mixing them into other builds. Why would people build Conscripts when they're rewarded so heavily for not doing so? thats why i say cheaper cheap enough that if you have the spare manpower its worth it to throw them into a con squad so you can merge on field, so you can build cover or scare the enemy off. right now if you can afford a con squad on equal termss the enemy can afford a gren squad or nearly afford a volks squad both of whom laugh at you building qa cons squad. cheap enough that you can start building your mg or penal squad when your building is compolete if you build a con squad off the cuff. cheap enough that if they die buying you time enough to pull off a flank or hold a point long enough to get reinforcements up its not a massive loss cheap enough that if you try and merge a 4 man squad into a 3 man squad and a model drops you dont feel robbed becuse you lost the damn squad.

Thread: 50 cal - Why is it so good? 23 Sep 2019, 22:49 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 22:34 PMT.R. Stormjäger Soviets are built on crutching on Shocks, T70 and IS2, then throwing men to the meat grinder until you win. Conscripts could have been the core of the soviet army as Strelki (riflemen) squads, but Relic’s design was insulting. At least the community team is working towards improving things, but the Soviet army needs a revamp desperately. off topic, but they absolutly CAN work as a support squad to make your heavy hitters preform better, but certainly not at the same price (or close) to the enemies ahem independent core infantry. at least once you get tanks on the field now after many minuets of being mowed down by enemy weapon upgrades cans can flip the bill and die more efficiently In: COH2 Balance

Thread: allow 7 man Conscripts PPSH41 or PTRS23 Sep 2019, 14:30 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 12:22 PMLago I'd be hesitant to adjust the raw performance of Shocks: they're finally a state where they're usable but counterable. They could maybe stand to have a later timing though. CP2 is very early for that sort of unit. I'm unconvinced that Guards are still a problem. I can see why people would have philosophical problems with a combination AI-AT squad, but I don't think their present power level is anything to write home about. As for Conscripts? Ditch the sidetech. Conscripts are always going to be an inferior option when you have to pay an extra 230 MP 20 FU just to unlock their utility abilities. A smaller sideteching barrier was enough to all but exterminate Ostheer T2. Throw out Conscript sidetech entirely. It doesn't achieve its design goals. If that cost has to be in the tech tree, put it on T3 so Penal builds can't skip it. So long as the Penal teching path is stronger and cheaper, Conscripts are always going to be off-meta. I know it's been said but I'd rather just make cons cheaper. Then they are cheap and ripe for merging if that's what you want or you can invest in them to be a mainline. But all globals not squad by squad. Imo. Then they are expendable as intended. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: allow 7 man Conscripts PPSH41 or PTRS23 Sep 2019, 00:23 AM Part of the appeal of the doctrinal upgrades is that you don't have to wait until tanks are on the field to have your core infantry scale. Benifit now or benifit more later, it's lucky that the upgrades don't exclusively offer the weapon upgrades for cons (ptrs aside, but that's a full conversion so it's not really important). Ppsh still gives hit the dirt and SVTs can still drop for anyone In: COH2 Balance

Stgs grant unparalleled building clearing without it being over saturated. With a change like that you could even remove the +5mu that DEVISTATED the commander and actually take a look at the uncounterable 2 click recon. In: COH2 Balance
