Thread: Rifle Company Should have the M191913 Oct 2020, 14:12 PM Thompson is good enough that the drawbacks of fired up would be fair. I could get behind a Thompson upgrade for sure. I'd even bundle it with fire up and find something else small, maybe the removed cover LOS buff from recon, to put in there and call it good. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rear Ech. Flamethrower - Rifle Company11 Oct 2020, 22:06 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2020, 21:52 PMflyingpancake Nothing says rifle company like an E8 sherman. Quite clearly its more of a vague theme then hard set guidelines so adding aggressive infantry that start with semi automatic carbines is well within the parameters of the theme, or are carbines too different then rifles for you to fit?. Cause if that is the case they should have nothing but 5 different rifleman related trinkets in each ability slot. There's a difference between the commander not really doing much for a unit it's named after and replacing it entirely. As a result I'm against adding a rifle replacement to rifle company. It'd be like putting veteran squad leaders in the ostroppen commander because it would jazz it up and being named specifically after ostroppen shouldn't mean ostroppen are the core of ostroppen tactics.

Thread: Is the USF CPT weaker than the LT?11 Oct 2020, 21:48 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2020, 21:40 PMRiley OF cousre. Target size Rear Echelon is 1-0,77 Rifleman - 0,97-0,64. Therefore CP weaker than LT. LOL, USF Capitan "Officer" weaker than also Rifleman. I like balance team. The major "officer" is also weaker than a rifle. The officers are supposed to provide utility as well as field presence not just be rifles. Arguably they should be WORSE and provide more bonuses but cest la vie. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Major's Artillery Barrage - USF 11 Oct 2020, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2020, 17:54 PMCODGUY It's a cool ability but it's not THAT good. It's strong, but I'd hardly call it "super" strong. The Brit Infantry Section artillery abilites are better. You would, but major arty not only gets better with vet, it also doesn't get a range reduction with suppression unlike the Brit base arty making it useful against suppression platforms like bunkers schwere and garrisoned machinegun.

Thread: Conscript 7th men too much?11 Oct 2020, 13:35 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2020, 06:08 AMCrecer13 I do not see the point in the 7th person. This upgrade comes so late so the Guard or Shock Troops will be your main infantry anyway so as not to lose. As a combat effectiveness, upgrade weapons such as PPSh or SVT are much more effective and finally starting to be a real combat unit (moreover, upgrade weapons come to 1-2 CP). So to throw an AT grenade, what their main role still remains, they can perfectly well without the 7th person. . 7 man increases durability, decreases reinforcement and slightly increases firepower in cover. A very big draw imo is 7 men can fully recrew a team weapon without losing the squad, somehting that could be game changing late game. What's more, RNG is RNG and 7 men trying to throw a snare are better off than 6 when things like KTs and Brummbärs prowl. It comes late that is true but the dev team were worried about increasing the existing t3 powerspike. To come sooner the T70 would need toned down, which I'm fine with but many people here are unable to fathom multiple changes at a time In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF armour11 Oct 2020, 13:30 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2020, 01:56 AMC3 TOOTH Can one explain me how PF's force multiplier work? Why 1PF & 1RM is better than 2RM? I heard something like JLI snip down a model if it has less than 50%hp. Is PF work the same? PF have 2 sniper rifles that will kill models with less than 40% or less health. JLI have 1 sniper rifle that snipes models below 75% health which while better does have more cost and a later timing. PF and a rifle squad is available asap meaning the first enemy squad you come across with them (rng willing) could be performing at only 60% health (48 hp) coupled with model concentration the snowballing is real.

Thread: Major's Artillery Barrage - USF 10 Oct 2020, 22:59 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2020, 22:32 PMWunderKatze ... Not really. The issue with the aggressive style is it is easy to lose the major. I just think that it could be made a little better in the late game to ease the number of risks a USF player needs to take to be agressive. Still strong but you make it sound like there is a fung shui secret. Just use the abilities lol Losing a major is less impactful than losing a Vetted conscript squad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Major's Artillery Barrage - USF 10 Oct 2020, 22:27 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2020, 22:04 PMWunderKatze Yeah... You might be right. It is very strong. My main argument for buffing it is the internal balance of forward retreat playstyle vs. offensive major. IMO the forward retreat playstyle wins out... But that doesn't mean the barrage is weak. There's other things they can do if they want the major to take a more active role imo. I've played players who made great use of the existing major and do a great job. People imo just need to really try em In: COH2 Balance
