Thread: I haven't seen a Soviet AT gun in at least six months.12 Nov 2018, 03:42 AM You know, I don't agree with all of it, but he has a fair point. Anti-everything has never been done well in this game. Volkschrecks, DP28 guards, former KT, prenerf Comets. Although I think there are many other underlying issues that contribute to those units being notorious for overperformance, rather than just being able to attack different targets. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T34/76 role in the current meta11 Nov 2018, 17:38 PM ^ Basically this. Their MGs shred any infantry, but you gotta use something bigger vs most armor pieces or just have more 76s than they have p4s. If you're up against panthers I'd suggest an 85 variant. Either SU, or 34/85 In: Red Army Strategies

Thread: Grenadiers + HMG42s vs USF7 Nov 2018, 20:36 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2018, 20:04 PMOutsider_Sidaroth I've always wondered... A lot of OKW players complain the KT is now a joke, wether I agree or disagree is not the matter here but, I'd like to know how you would buff it to be relevant as OKW's baseline ultimate AI option. As OKW's baseline? Honestly had to read that multiple times. I'd think you'd ask to remove it from the baseline. But if I were to balance it so it's supposed to be part of it I'd improve its scatter so its reliable and lower its OHK radius. The problem with the prenerf KT wasn't that it was "uncounterable", it's that you could get efficient damage done and it had enough HP and armor to back away safely without fear of losing it. Exact same problem with the Brummbar currently. Roll in, drop 2 or 3 shots, if TDs are present take 2-3 hits and back away. Extra points for skill tactician and blitz. So unless your opponet overextended or missplayed, the only real way of going for the kill relied on: Getting off a snare Diving with tank destroyers/mediums Offmap bomb drop/mark target MAYBE ISU-152, but prenerf KT was around when JT/Ele were picked 99% of all games in doctrines so you'd set yourself up to get bullied. Similar problem when OKW engages the IS2. The JP4s pen isn't high enough to reliably engage the IS2 at range and go for the kill. So you're forced to either clump raks and cheese out the IS2 with some good pens, or dive in with a panther and have it brawl with it. Depending on how overly drunk the gunner in the IS2 is it can most definatly come out as a loss for the OKW player. Alternatives to getting OKW an AI buff in the lategame on armor would be: Adding the Ostwind Making panther a generalist similar to comet Both of these have their respective drawbacks and bonuses. We'd have to replace the ostwind slot in scavenge with something else, and the panther buff would further solidify panther spam in teamgames, which again would further solidify allied TD spam. TL : DR Faction design in this game sucks from a balance standpoint. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadiers + HMG42s vs USF7 Nov 2018, 18:21 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2018, 06:25 AMMakiesKurisu Play With friends who plays well in 1v1 in custom, usually. Anyway, OKW is the best faction in early game, and bad in late due to lack of AT support, right? U have to build to tanks to counter. And without Pershing, I see no point that USF could turn the tie of battle when in disadvantage against OKW in early and mid game. OKW has enough "functional AT" that their AT support isn't really too bad. It's diverse which is its strong suit. Panther, JP4, Pz4 for lighter armor pieces, rak which is "ok" but is more cheesey than anything. The problem is, as I stated when responding to gentlementroll is that they don't have a good AI armor piece. The p4 gets shut down by anything bigger than a stock medium and the KT is a joke. Obers exist, but they arrive late and are still mediocre compared to 2x upgraded rifles/IS or DP28 guards till they hit vet2/3. The also have the 4 man squad problem where they get wiped significantly easier to ballistics and explosives. It's not that the faction lategame is "bad", it's that it's subpar when compared to others. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadiers + HMG42s vs USF7 Nov 2018, 03:32 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2018, 03:22 AMMakiesKurisu In fact, If there's no more call-in tanks anymore, OKW can dominate the game all the time. According to my personal experience in 1v1, everthing works fine until a IS-2 or Pershing hit the field. They could be support by AT guns while U could not due to the lack of regular AT. And in team games, with a good werh mate, everything works fine through out the game Personal experience in 1v1? All 12 games worth? In: COH2 Balance
