Thread: 20 mp difference between Mg42 and Maxim.25 Apr 2016, 17:21 PM 6 man squad Still a faster set up Fights smaller squads Jesus sprint (lol) Its absolutely inferior where it matters, but its not all one sided either In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guards are underpowered25 Apr 2016, 16:43 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2016, 04:34 AMLongshot_Cobra Thanks. What does this imply exactly? If you cons are wounded when they merge into guards they will be wounded. Its quite literally taking the guy from the con squad and sticking him in the guards squad, bleeding bullet wound and all.

Thread: Guards are underpowered24 Apr 2016, 04:23 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2016, 04:16 AMLongshot_Cobra Can you explain to me why merging is a good idea? if you merge guards with cons do the cons get the guards stats? merge keeps your guards on the field, instead of retreating, sure you could use a halftrack... but guards are expensive and cons...arnt.. the biggest reason is that it keeps an expensive, important squad on the field instead of running around merge transfers con models to the guard squad, afaik it inherits the guards offencive stats but the cons defencive stats so you will have con models (1.08 recc acc and all) but guards weapons a thing to note however is it is a straight up model transfer- so wounded cons will become wounder guards oh and never EVER merge into a smaller squad than you have models.... you will consume the con squad (as in if you have 2 members of guards and 3 cons, you will have 5 guards and no cons) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guards are underpowered24 Apr 2016, 04:17 AM meh, now that they dont dance around they are mostly fine, drop button cost a bit and they would be great. complaining that they arnt effective con replacements is like plopping shocks in cover trying to out gun grens at range and complaining about their poor DPS click on guards and what do they say? "you need LIGHT anti-tank SUPPORT?" they are LIGHT at SUPPORT troops use them like grens and you will find them much better than if you try and use them like cons. long range behind cover, and even a luchs would need to think twice as button means he cant outrun your con snare, which means he's dead. as dirt In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should the zook upgrade be limited to rangers/paras only?24 Apr 2016, 04:08 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2016, 20:58 PMZombiFrancis If you're fighting a rifleblob and they throw down a few hundred munis in zooks, just park your vehicles away in a defensive role. Use your tank(s) to keep squads from capping your flanks. If those zooks are your opponents main source of AT, their blob is all they have. If they run out to the flanks with it, you just run away while gaining the map advantage. If he stays put, you've contained the blob and likewise gain the map advantage. Plus a contained blob is much easier to blow up with indirect fire. this is why all factions need demo charges imo your blob gets blown a few times you learn to stop blobbing....(free weekend with the goliath was rifle blob hell...glorious freedom gibs all over ) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: No more base rushing USF?23 Apr 2016, 23:43 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2016, 23:29 PMCookiezNcreem doubt it...theyre two different weapons and we know how polished relic can be when it comes to that type of thing Heh. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Update on the 27th preview23 Apr 2016, 20:32 PM Im confused as to why so much hate for the rear armour... I know that relic made it so sometimes your tank WILL drive into combat backwards but a good player doesnt do that... A good player also doesnt yolo his heavy tank into the enemy lines unsupported (unless you are Soviet and trying to cap territory of course) ost have AT out the ass to support their tiger and okw cab crafty (2/4 dedicated AT units can be invisible) and now they have a snare... Iirc the KT has 1280hp, thats 8 penetrating hits 8!!!!! if if your KT is in a situation that 2 mediums can fire 4 shots each at your rear armour you desirve to lose it... The problem is ATM you probably wont... Combined arms and supporting your super tanks is the name of the game now and IT. Is. GLORIOUS. (I hope) but yea, mines.. A you have 73 t34s but they are fodder if they dont have an engine, cause they aint going to pen the front of you heavy without a heavy blessing from RNGesus.. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: US/USSR need a better generalist tank!23 Apr 2016, 18:20 PM As someone how has been very vocal about the state of Soviet armour I think that the balance preview will fix it. A useful su85 and a t34 that has the ability to kill infantry outside of RNG wipes... Brilliant! Ive been spamming t34/76 in 4v lately and using them to support jacksons and fireflys is amazing, ram to stun (even managed to immobilize a KT) while units that shoot steel instead of Nerf secure the kill... The problem was that the su85 was an RNG machine gun... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Update on the 27th preview23 Apr 2016, 18:13 PM Also now with the mg buff to the t34 and the su85 not being a 120fuel zis the t34 will shine, its a conscript style tank (support and snare) that had nothing to support.. In: COH2 Gameplay

In real life t34s out produced the king tiger by about 172 to 1, uf we are going realism were going to need bigger maps... In: COH2 Gameplay
