Thread: Soviets are OP25 Nov 2018, 00:53 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2018, 14:19 PMCresc The thing I seem to notice a lot is that you just seem to want abilites that actually work (which is rare with soviets) to be nerfed or removed, why? because they work as intended... Barrage arty? SOOOOO OP please nerf! How dare soviet counter by bunker spam and instapin mg42. Did you guys stop a moment to think that may be there is a glimpse of balance here and there and said abilities although you deem they are op do actually serve a purpose? Here, is this serious? The one thing that's bad with maxims is the suppressive rate. i never said the barages were op. i said they are a perfect example of an ability that should be a vet ability but isnt. i said the barrages make sense as vet abilities and used them as an example of the soviet vet being out of whack. the zis would perform its intended role 100% as well as it does now if the barrage was vet YET the maxims doesnt fill its role of an MG without vet. (yes, i was saying the maxim was shit. you quoted me saying it was shit. i AGREE it is shit. IT IS SHIT. with its vet ability its not quite as much shit. reading comprehension.) and the isu bit was another example of a unit that is multirole off the hop and could be made single purpose primarily and multi-role with vet you seem to be reading into my post trying to find a reason to bitch. read the words i wrote, not the ones you are trying to attribute to me please In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets are OP24 Nov 2018, 12:51 PM Biggest problem with the Soviet I would say is their vet. They have some abilies that are vet locked that shouldn't be, some that are not but should be and a number that are unis pored or I'll suited to the unit. Like: Su76/zis barrage. Perfect abilities that SHOULD be vet abilities, the units perform well without them but the ability opens up multiple capabilities. Simple enough. Mortar flare. Used to be a vet ability when the mortar was underwhelming and outmatched by its counterparts. Since been brought in line yet has a 6 man crew and non vet flares making it probably the best mortar for price in game. Then you have something like the b4 who's vet ability is trash to begin with (50% chance to miss a stationary elefant) but also expensive as balls. Needs a buff but also needs to not be shit. Double whammy! ISU-since it was brought up, could easily have just HE shells and unlock AP shells with vet to make it less omnipotent from the cuff. Is-2. Woo cap territory! Can't wait until vet 2 so my expensive heavy tank finally gets a bit better... Similarly the kv-2. Even in the preview... It's not a frontline unit so why would it have a bonus to infantry when it's supposed to be well behind them? Then you have something like the Maxim. Dog. shit. It's not AWFUL with its suppressive fire (still not great but at least it requires forethought) yet it's locked behind vet 1. Flares and barrage aren't, but the ability make the MG work as an MG is.... It's Right fucked. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets are OP24 Nov 2018, 11:59 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2018, 11:15 AMNaOCl Oh, I'm well aware of this. I was just talking about how trying to make the game historically real, is what led to the balance issues. Ie. Germans having low numbers, except for OKW because it focuses on only a few kampfgruppen that did have numerical superiority against the Americans and British for a short amount of time. When you put this numerical superiority against soviets(who did not participate in the Ardennes offensive, obviously) It takes away the main advantage the soviets had, which I can see is where the fundamental issues would arise. Well even against Ost Soviet don't really retain a numbers advantage, sure they have more MEN but not more squads, and if going ostroppen Ost can actually match men with more squads. It's an odd balance... Don't try and make logic or if it or you will lose your mind and end up sticking around here like the rest of us In: COH2 Balance

Thread: For balance Axis really needs demo or satchel. 24 Nov 2018, 11:10 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2018, 09:09 AMThamor Nice reply to derail the point here even more. If we go route of what the other have and the other doesn't nothing is resolved ever =) Being able to destroy garrisons is a perk of playing some of the factions, other factions have other perks. Okw has more automatic weapons than any other faction, usf have a boat load of smoke... Everyone has something and nobody has everything. Some factions are weaker is some areas. Some stronger. There is no reason Axis needs to be able to destroy garrisons in a snap when they are already incredibly gifted at clearing the garrisons out. You can't have it all. In: COH2 Balance

How many times you have seen allies doing it? When they can just free arty from brits or soviet satchel destroy them. How do you get free arty as the brits? I always have to upgrade my Tommy or get a sniper then use munitions to get arty. Or do you mean free as in always have access to not free as in "you teched up like all factions do, have a new squad of infantry" free. Because if THAT'S the case, Ost has free scouting on their pios (something no other faction has) and okw has free salvage that can destroy crew weapons, something no other faction can do (you could try your exploit for the ukf and call your free arty in on it and hope for the best I suppose) Seems all factions have unique aspects! Soviet are particularly good at fucking up garrisons. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets are OP23 Nov 2018, 23:05 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2018, 12:25 PMKatitof You forgot to decrease their cost to 250 or something. You can't have 300mp squad being weaker then 280mp squad with the same role you know. 250 would be excessive and further push people away from the already underwhelming 240mp cons. It would be like adding volks in t1- you would never ever see cons again. Their original 270 and requiring munitions for a full complement of SVTs wouldn't be unreasonable I don't think. Nothing says the HAVE to be 300mp. If them being 300mp requires them to obliterate everything on the field then that's not a good design choice. Additionally adding a munitions cost to some of their power means losing a squad and having to replace it late game when all that sweet sweet vet is gone doesn't suck the MP right out of the Soviet (not that 30mp is that HUGE of a difference but hey its something) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets are OP23 Nov 2018, 09:37 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2018, 09:35 AMThamor It's not consistent damage when firsts hot wipes 2 models in cover then 2nd shot takes 1 more and then chase and finish in 1-2 shots. The damage is little bit too good atm compared to any other light vehicle play. Its literally impossible for the T70 to wipe anything in a single shot, let alone a unit in cover seeing as it deals 40 damage... In: COH2 Balance

They will soon become the faction with the most snares ever. And also snares on cheap and durable AT slinging squads (sappers). In typical relic fashion if it's worth doing its worth doing poorly!

Also, why no soviet buildable bunkers? Let the ones in base sector be buildable. Flame nades do fucking swell enough as it is. In: COH2 Balance
