Thread: MAXIMum wheels - useful or useless?14 Apr 2016, 10:18 AM As I said my perspective is limited and Soviets are by far the faction I have the least experience with (I generally have only time for 2-3 games per week) but I found 3 or 4 Cons opening with mortar and Maxim as support to be a very strong build. Maxims just seem to be more easy to use. But again, I'm not the one to talk balance with. There are far better players then me with a greater perspective on things. I just "feel" that Soviets are already a pretty strong faction and by far the one I struggle the most when playing against 'em. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: MAXIMum wheels - useful or useless?14 Apr 2016, 09:52 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2016, 09:44 AMMissCommissar That was only an idea, and I said in same post, that I don't know how can it be realised right. Maybe they should turn only on 100-120 degree from installed direction, not full 360. In that way it will be veery much possible to backstab them and kill. Maybe additional armor for gunner was better idea. Maybe you have your own idea, what Maxim should get for inconveniant platform? Imho Maxim is already a problem in all game modes. It's so dull and annoying to face Maxim Spam in every damn game I play against Soviets. If anything Maxims should be made harder to use and spamming them should result in a loss. A buff or an additional suppression unit for Soviets will in my (limited) perspective brake the faction. I'm shure there is the need to give Soviet infantry something to compansate but I don't claim to have any inside of what that should be. I'm still a novice when it comes to the hard facts of the game (Rank 5 OST and OKW). In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: VIPUKS can help you to play better.13 Apr 2016, 11:59 AM Hey Vipuks! First of all let me thank you for your idea! Really, really helpful to "newbies" to multiplayer COH 2 like me! Anyways here's my question: What to do as OKW against Soviet Con Blob into Maxim/Mortar and IS2. I tried Flak Halftrack but 3 Zis tore it apart. Panzerfüselier/Volks/Sturm Mix couldn't stop the Russian tide which was then supported by SU85 and KV8. I just didn't manage to bleed him enough. Blobs in general are a big problem for me when playing any of the Axis factions. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work here! In: Strategy Desk
Thread: OKW manpower hack12 Apr 2016, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2016, 14:42 PMVon Kluge I think you missed him suggesting you seek help before making weird balance threads with clickbait titles Thanks for understanding my intention. Guess I wasn't clear enough! @OP: Seriously mate, insulting me as a fanboy while I was just trying to point out to you that it maybe, just maybe is a fault on your end and not a balance issue is kinda rude. You know maybe it would help yourself and a lot of us other players if you'd just point out your issue you had in game with OKW and ask for help from more experienced players instead of making threads about how OP this and that unit really is.

Thread: OKW manpower hack12 Apr 2016, 13:52 PM Welcome to the Forums, I guess. Why not try the state office for tips of how to play against OKW? Why balance forum? Seriously there are some very good and helpful players around and I'm shure they'll help if you're struggling. Not everything USA balance issue. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USSR's Defenses - Way to "heal" Soviets12 Apr 2016, 12:43 PM Last time I checked Soviets had pretty good TDs and T34/85 which is also pretty reliable. So "bad" is not what I'd call em. I'm against any balance changes that makes anything "super"! Ost is supposed to be defensive and a late game faction but struggles to hold ground against US or Brits. Brits are the closest to a super faction imo with strong tanks and emplacements and that causes quite some rage in the community. I still think Soviets are fine (except some small tweaks here and there. Penal buff and Maxim nerf for example). Otherwise they are a well rounded faction with good to excellent performance in attacking and defending. At least that is what if seen in ESL, casts and from my own experience with the game (though I'm not a good player and have only 200 h of game time.) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USSR's Defenses - Way to "heal" Soviets12 Apr 2016, 12:17 PM So you want all the cool stuff in Soviet faction of I get you right? IS2 with King Tiger armor, Shocks with long range of Obers yet same short range performance, SUs with Stug armor, stock guards in T0 and Cons with Panzerschreck and Stg44s? Does that sound like a Soviet faction you'd like to play? Don't you think that would take away the uniqueness Soviets have atm (that you seem to not recognize)? Sorry to repeat myself here but if you think all other factions are cooler, why not play those? What's it that lets you play Soviets although you clearly don't like them? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USSR's Defenses - Way to "heal" Soviets12 Apr 2016, 11:49 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2016, 11:28 AMMissCommissar I don't know, 4-6 man squads never were a problem for me, cos they have really pretty same survivability. 2 additional man not always can save your unit. Of course it is annyoing to see, that UK's mortar mine wipes entire your squad or Katyusha's barrage, but for me it happens rare and game is pretty forginving even to Ostheers - 1 or even 2 men in squad usually survives after that. Insta wipe means only bad luck. For example, I played once as OKW and I got QF 25 shell right into my retreated to FHQ blob. Directly in them. But no squad wipes - each squad just lost 2-4 men, I moved them asaide and reinforced. So, here is very strange system in game, I don't understand it. But, It always trying to save you squads from insta-wiping, no matter how much people there in squad, so +2 or -2 here is not that important. Maybe I understand it wrong, but that's what I saw. But, 6 man squads can be actually insta-wiped too with Werfer or Stuka or, CAS bombing run or CAS Dive Bomb... I don't know, what great tools you mean in USSR. Mines are maybe great, but they are not uniqe for USSR, OKW have same mines for very strange reasons. USSR really doesn't have something specific good in stock or even in doctrines. I can only say that stock Katyusha is badass, but that's all... Katyusha is good, SU-76 is more or less good, Guards would be good, if they would be T1 unit, instead of Penals. All others - worse than their analogs in other factions. And yea - best artillery in game with ML-20 and B-4. But... no B-4 is piece of shit. Strange that your game experience differs so greatly from mine. Grens, Panzergrenadiers and Pios get wiped by mines, Soviet heavy mortar, ZIS barrage, ISU, IS2 shell and so on. Frequently btw. On the other hand killing a soviet maxim or mortar is a pain, really. They're so durable. Fine, unique tools for Soviets: Shocks, heavy mortar, maxim, bombard ability on tank destroyers and anti tank guns, T 70 which is awesome against infantry and can take a punch (though not a big one), partisans (spawning from buildings, cloak, panzerschreck and mines! Hell what an awsome combination!), radio intercept, very versatile Cons (though with bad scaling but still with a lot of uses), etc.! Really there are some great replays and casts out there where you can see the many possibilities Soviets offer. They really have a lot of great tools! In: COH2 Balance
