Thread: Conscript 7th men too much?15 Oct 2020, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2020, 20:54 PMSerrith Its a -30% cooldown reduction which isn't that helpful at close range but at mid and long range is a huge dps boost. This results in 7 man conscripts actually being able to trade efficiently with LMG42 grens at long range. The firepower increase from the 7 man upgrade outshines any single mainline infantry firepower upgrade. It comes the absolute latest and also locks out the possibilities of any other weapon, even dropped ones. I think all is fair in what 7 man brings considering its rather large offsets.

Thread: OKW needs redesign?15 Oct 2020, 14:21 PM Why not just make all units and everything available from HQ? I for one am absolutely fed up to the absolute limit hlof making any choices what so ever and think the game would be a lot better if all I had to do was load in and the game made all the game play choices for me In: COH2 Balance
Thread: If you think about it sturmpioneers need 2 shreks14 Oct 2020, 20:19 PM When you compare pgrens ability to repair tanks, lay wire, mine and AOE heal you might find that there's more to a unit than jost price Tag and target size. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript 7th men too much?14 Oct 2020, 14:25 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2020, 13:26 PMGarrett I think the issue at hand is not necessarily the 7-man-upgrade, but the ability to build sandbags (and way better sandbags than the normal ones at that). The problem aren't the 7 men per se, as they are still cons, but it's 7 men in heavy cover when you have to push plus their insane utility with molotovs and AT-nades. In conclusion, maybe upgrading them to a 7-men-cons should lose them the ability to construct sandbags or something along that line? What do you think about that? Their entire thing is durable utility... Like that's it. They are not meant to burst down enemies, they don't have concentrated dps. They have durability. 7 man cons behind sandbags are SUPPOSED to be annoying to dig out. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP14 Oct 2020, 14:22 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2020, 09:43 AMJohnSmith mate, nobody uses SU76s anymore. They look good on paper, but they're meme units ingame. I actually saw one yesterday used pretty well! One soviet went T70 and the other su76. Bugger was vet 3 by the time we brought it down. Barrages for days. Obviously a one off isn't testament but it was neat seeing it and playing against it for a change. In: COH2 Balance

I mean they basically outperform Rangers and Commandos in most situations so why are they a CP2 unit? Because they are 4 models and requires the schwere to get their upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther time to fire is slow need a vet buff13 Oct 2020, 16:28 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2020, 16:19 PMGachiGasm Thing is, all TDs right right now have pretty much 100% chance of penetration against mediums and at the same time all non-premium mediums have relatively same pefromance vs heavy tanks, in other words T34\76 is garbo against heavies, but so is PIV. And in the end if Axis really need something to fight KVs\IS\ISU and churchills they do need to get panthers, which is second the most expensive non-doc vehicle in the game and more over it requares agressive hit-n-run play. To put it to put it bluntly, jackson\SU-85\Firefly was buffed to fight heavies, snowballing into the fact that they are effective against litteraly any armored unit, while Axis TDs were left at the same level of old allied TDs. Patch after patch, Soviet and UKF heavy play become very common aswell as timings were shifted. Also speaking about stock panther, at least panther has 90 rear armor, meaning that as long as anything hits it in the butt it will take damage. Even T34\76 would have 100% chance of rear armor penetration at max distance. But still this is uttely idiotic, that all heavies rear armor is almost completly immune against mediums. you wont finmd any disagreement from me. ive been on the side of that needing been changed for a long long time, and i was a very loud voice in the su85 getting changed in the first place ive suggested changes of my own including lowering dedicated TD pen but granting deflection damage or widening the range of armour/pen so that fine tuning can be made and supporting others suggestions like cranking medium tank close range pen so that they can be useable against heavy tanks or lowering heavy rear armour all in name of better balance. however we look at it though allies NEED a stock heavy TD because they are facing very durable armour guaranteed when fighting axis. the panther being expensive imo isnt so much an issue because its either going to be fighting meatshields that while cheaper lack the bite to be a huge threat or proper heavies that are more expensive at which point the panther is cost efficient.

Thread: Tweak Fallschirmjäger - OKW13 Oct 2020, 16:21 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2020, 15:21 PMSpoof Might I say that Falls also feel extremely fragile and easy to lose? I get that they're supposed to be used as ambush/infiltration units, but I am always forced to blob them in groups or else they'll get chewed up before they can start mowing down Allied infantry. Use their camo and fuck shit up. They will essentially win any 1v1 if you use them as originally intended. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifle Company Should have the M191913 Oct 2020, 14:34 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2020, 14:16 PMSupport Sapper the US should have their own supplies for sure, but sadly the model doesnt exist. But the soviet have a truck model. There is an abundance of usf halftrack variations in the game, simply using one of them would suffice In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panther time to fire is slow need a vet buff13 Oct 2020, 14:16 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2020, 12:03 PMVipper Allies have a clear advantage when it comes to TDs. Now if ones combines that with fact that they have an advantage in infatry too (accept some doctrinal solution) one will see why allies play infatry/TDs combo (or some Super heavy) and why axis play with artillery. While I agree with your assessment, allies will always need to have an edge in TDs as long as panthers and king tigers are stock- 2/3 allied factions can't non doc field armour that will bounce a pak. Infantry have been power crept to all hell which is definitely problematic. In: COH2 Balance
