Thread: The age-old double soviet sniper conundrum15 Mar 2018, 07:09 AM 222 is ineffective vs the sniper plain and simple. I PERSONALLY would love to see a 221 in t1 WHEN bp1 is teched, maybe allow to upgrade into a 222 once t2 is built OR bp2 is teched (should the player for some reason skip t2) the 222 would still be available as is atm in t2 as well. This gives ost some flexibility and a proper sniper counter (and a natural vehicle progression too) The 221 was removed because the 222 was a no brainer upgrade, the game has changed and the 221 would again have a role In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Handheld AT solution.15 Mar 2018, 04:21 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2018, 03:51 AMFiresparks The sturmpio's long range firepower is pretty mediocre, even if they can survive at long range. In addition, the Okw shouldn't really need sturm for anti-infantry duty by late game. The volks and ober practically fill the need for infantry combat. There's no reason to crowd the faction with sturm as well. Giving the sturm to double equip schreck+sweeper would benefit the okw alot better significantly since mp44 volks is enough for most purposes. The higher population on the storm also mean the okw struggle to effectively maintain minesweeper coverage. Okw lineup is perfect for sturms to transition from an AI squad to support: at the start they are very high impact, as they begin to get outnumbered volks fill the ranks, as volks become less punchy obers come in. Sturms used to pull double duty of both sweeper and shrek, which meant there was never NOT a reason to throw a shrek on them and thats bad design. By the time they are less effective fighting infantry they shouldnt perfectly amd thoughtlessly into a super support role. If you are worried about mines you can get a mine sweeper, but if you want AT there has to be some sort of drawback, reducing AI doesnt count if they are already combat ineffective when you need it.

Thread: German Armour too Expensive14 Mar 2018, 18:45 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2018, 09:25 AMullumulu guards are very cost effective if you look to ther performanche against any target. guards cost 360mp and 75muni..but only 27mp per model panzergrens with double schreck cost 300mp and 120muni...but they will be schredd by guards without losing 2models. but can still be nearly effecitve vs armor like panzergrens. prove: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/235222348 45muni for make such high dmg vs armor...and it isnt a miracle to trhow them on german verhicles...KT is so slow with dmg engine it can by killed easily: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/235222348?t=58s Pro tip: maybe dont use double shreked units against guards (OBVIOUSLY you dont know this if for some reasom you are using the comparison, but that reduces the AI of pgrena by 50%) And learn to micro if you keep getting AT satcheled. Seriously, your post just reinforces the thought in the back of my mimd that you might just be and and are trying to get the game changes so you wont be as bad. Support your armour. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German Armour too Expensive14 Mar 2018, 09:18 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2018, 06:59 AMullumulu because this patch was made by allie biased mods. Look to the awefull opness form sov after the patch.tank Satchel only 45 muni? really? Best infantery (guards) with 2model sniper? IL2-one-button-win-lol? this patch was made by players who play only sov/ allies. That must be why the demo was turned from a blob counter to a worse, less cost effective satchel on a worse, combat ineffective, squishy even by ost standards squad that has a planting time (vs throwing) For those unsure the demo deals 800 damage vs the 640 of the satchel vs structures, meaning even if the okw player is incompetent enough to allow you to plant demos at their truck, it would be faster AND cheaper to hit it with the same number of satchels. Similiarily bunkers and best i know and emplaced gun. And guards, while prettt good... Aint cheap. Ontop of their high mp cost they require a 75mu upgrade, and after that upgrade they can be countered by making them move. 6 men with 2 rifles aint that strong now are they? Stationary they are powerful but also indirect magnets. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW Handheld AT solution.14 Mar 2018, 02:44 AM Sturms do have pretty gpod rec acc, not as good as tommies of course but sturms can sit at long range behind cover or up to 5 models and tommies have to close to be effective (o wait) But seriously i think a small sturm rework would go a long way. Now that okw have lost most of their initial flavour i think their new direction COULD be about infantry specializations. Sturms could upgrade for AI, AT, or support. Volks could be long range auxillary infantry, assault infantry or anti garrison, obers are obers They have specialized vehicles that excel in their roles but their infantry is all slightly different flavours of bleh that are MOSTLY unrefined and provides little diversity despite there being 3 potent squads available (vs the 1 or 2 of other factions) In: COH2 Balance

Valid, but allied infantry could be using bundled nades for all the difference itll make against the sniper who would just retreat (or die to gunfire) Edit: oshit forgot about the brit sniper....

Thread: The age-old double soviet sniper conundrum13 Mar 2018, 23:08 PM The "cant be wiped by a grenade" is misleading. Tho its technically correct, 1. How the HELL did you manage to get a grenade off on a sniper (and why would you try?) And 2. All the units i know of that have grenades ALSO have guns (the kind that shoot, and do damage) so even if you DID for some reason throw a grenade at a sniper (again....why?) It would almost 100% of the time kill, assuming you managed to hit it once with quite literally a single bullet from ANY gun in the game... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen Sandbags13 Mar 2018, 23:03 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2018, 20:28 PMFelinewolfie - Rifles no sandbags. RE makes Tank trap. Even I don't see a problem here. Esp since USF has fighting positions. And Smoke. Ok but what if i dont wanna spend 200mp on a squad that can double arm AT to make them? I think the only reasonable choice here is that USF should start with 3 RE (reduced pop so they equal 1 or usf would get less MP per tick and thats not fair) so i only have to build rifles all game and still have plenty of units to build cover. My tanks dont need support units why should my rifles? In: COH2 Balance
