Thread: Universal Carrier Mortar HT30 Jun 2018, 09:32 AM Giving it a mortar isn't really possible because you'd need new models and we're not getting them at this point. You could give it the ability to throw down UKF Howitzer smoke though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: adjustment for puma30 Jun 2018, 09:24 AM You can't simply swap the M10 for the M36 as it doesn't have the firepower needed to fight heavy tanks and USF's other nondoc tank is the 75mm Sherman. So long as USF has only one anti-tank vehicle that vehicle has to be able to deal with every other vehicle in the game. Otherwise the vehicle it can't counter counters USF's entire armour pool.

Thread: Bren Gun29 Jun 2018, 21:14 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jun 2018, 18:39 PMKatitof Can we see a couple of competitive level games where these insanely strong bren commandos are game changers in comparison to regular CQC use? Or are we going to argue excel sheet potential alone? You'd need a competitive level game where UKF achieves anything first. Prior to SBP Bren Infantry Sections were so good that you didn't need Bren Commandos. SBP made Bren Commandos cheaper and made their competition for mid-long infantry (Bren Sections) much, much worse, making them a more attractive proposition on paper. However, it also doused the already flagging UKF faction with petrol and set it on fire. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bren Gun29 Jun 2018, 18:22 PM UKF generally has a bunch of long range lmg infantry squads on the field. Why do you want ANOTHER long range infantry squad? Pre-SBP I'd agree with you completely. Post-SBP I'd say UKF's reason to get Bren Commandos is the same as OKW's reason to get Obersoldaten: Bren Infantry Sections aren't good enough to take the infantry advantage any more.

Thread: Bren Gun29 Jun 2018, 14:52 PM I actually tested that matchup a while ago: Vet 0 Bren Commandos beat Vet 0 Obersoldaten with reasonable consistency. Veterancy swings the balance hard in the Obersoldaten's favour as Commandos get utility bonuses rather than combat bonuses when they vet up. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bren Gun29 Jun 2018, 13:03 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2018, 16:34 PMMrSnoRR So since the new patch Tommies and Sappers have access to a weaker but cheaper Bren gun from the weapon racks. Does anyone know if Commandos still get an elite version and whether its stats have been changed at all? I noticed that they also only pay 45 munitions when picking up the Bren. Thanks! The Commando Bren is unchanged save for being cheaper. It's very powerful and can fire on the move. Just remember that Bren Commandos aren't CQC units any more: use them as ranged combat infantry rather than point blank ambushers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What is the advantage of wermacht faction?29 Jun 2018, 12:47 PM You can reinforce your squads at the edge of your base sector if you put a building there, making your squads get back on the field slightly faster. That's it. The reason SOV and OST have to build their base structures is simply because they're older: Relic realized the base building element didn't really add anything and streamlined it for the newer factions. OST's teching is split in two (Battle Phase Unlock then Base Building) to give OST the option of skipping the base building. For example, if you skip Light Mechanized Company you can't build Panzergrenadiers, 222s, 251s or PAK guns, but you save 200 manpower and 20 fuel. They also used to gate upgrades: the 251 Flamer upgrade used to be locked behind Battle Phase 2. In: Ostheer Strategies

Thread: adjustment for puma29 Jun 2018, 01:06 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2018, 12:10 PMullumulu OP was starting this comparing. And puma is a t3 unit when iam play as OKW. Mechanized Regiment Headquarters is T2. The starting building is always T0. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Current meta28 Jun 2018, 15:38 PM GCS2 is making it evolve quite quickly, but presently: OST - The Panzer Elite strategy: build lots of light vehicles supported by a single Panzer IV with a stubby gun. The Mobile Defence commander is the overwhelmingly dominant pick for Ostheer at the moment. Heavy T2 light vehicle play (222 Scout Car and 251 Halftrack) has been made stronger by SBP's buffs to the 222. Its main counter (the T-70, Stuart and AEC) is countered in turn by Mobile Defence's call-in Puma at CP5. Two call-in Pumas can deal with an enemy medium armor and the Panzer IV Command Tank provides the build with medium armor of its own. VonIvan's been experimenting with a Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine build that uses fuel drops to rush T3 and people are starting to emulate it. That might be the next thing as people are getting the hang of dealing with Mobile Defence now. SOV - Armoured Assault and Guards Rifle CA. The difference between the builds is if you want PPSh Conscripts and Guards or Penal Battalions and a Sniper as your infantry core. Both builds have the same strategy: hold out against Mobile Defence until you get a KV-1 or IS-2 which will counter the Pumas hard if microed well. USF - USF was probably shaken up the most by SBP. Its previous dominant strategy (Recon Support with Lieutenant) excelled against the DBP OST T3 rush and OKW Battlegroup into Flak HT strategies. The post-SBP rise of Mobile Defence and the resurgence of OKW have forced USF to reevaluate and it hasn't yet settled into a set of clear dominant strategies. Heavy Cavalry is the dominant commander because it contains USF's heavily armoured answer to Mobile Defence, but expect the unexpected with USF at the moment. OST - Luftwaffe Ground Forces and Special Operations remain the dominant picks. OKW remains mostly lots of infantry into shock unit into Panzer IV, but there's a popular build right now that's like a poor man's Mobile Defence: lots of Mechanized Regiment light vehicles into Command Panther without teching Ostheer T4 at all. UKF - Dead for now. In: Strategy Desk
