Thread: Give OKW flame nade a tech cost?30 May 2018, 00:53 AM Do people not remember when OKW had model 24 frags on volks? And the faction couldn't clear garrisons for shit? Why? Because squads would just hop out of the garrison and then get back in. So say you change it back to model 24 frags and this happens again, thats ok though because you can just clear it with the LeIG. Yes that's a wonderful way of again making OKW t2 completly unviable on a garrison map because none of the T2 units can clear worth a damn. Then people will start bitching about LeIG spam again because it'll be the only viable way to clear garrisons. In: COH2 Balance

KT is just a non-doctrinal slightly more powerful and more expensive version of IS-2. It is not a valentine. Worse as in, so bad it is never built. In: COH2 Balance

Kv1 churchill etc come no where near the impact a superheavy like the kt has. And the kt not being a auto win button anymore is a good thing. Yes, the KT is far worse than either of those tanks for some magical reason. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Give OKW flame nade a tech cost?28 May 2018, 23:57 PM +1 for tightrope. Although this design for WFA and UKF are all abysmal, I'd rather leave as is and make small tweaks than major faction tool reworks currently. #CoH32020 In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Strongest Faction?24 May 2018, 04:19 AM 4 votes when I posted and no replies. Why .org polls are bad, they become skewed by people who either don't take the time to explain their reasoning or don't understand enough to actually make a legitment addition. On topic: It's honestly hard to say which is the absolute strongest faction in just general terms. OKWs opening 5 minutes are generally very strong with how cost effective and spammable volks are in combination with sturm starter and potential kubel. Lategame though they're just not up to par. If micro is not included when arguing here Ostheer is easily one of the best, if not the best faction currently. Yes it is the hardest faction to play micro wise, but they have their own set of abusive things that can really propel them as an incredible faction. Soviets from my own personal experience do require more micro than people tend to give them credit for imo. Maybe I'm just not well versed enough in them, but they do tend to have an incredible amount of combined arms play as well micro demand. Their lategame arsenal is fantastic and their mainline infantry is incredibly versatile. There are a few niche things I could pick out from them as needing a look into the buffs/nerf department. USF is decent early game, but an absolute monster lategame. Probably the best mainline infantry as well as argueable tank arsenal currently especially with doctrines. The only draw back to this faction when I play them is micro limits, which can be very overtaxed by lategame USF if you don't use the correct commanders. UKF has its strong suits, but where it has weaknesses it has massive holes in its design. As such, playing to the factions strenghs of using tommies significantly and cover usage they can be very difficult to push around. But with no consistant, mobile indirect it leaves a lot to be desired by them. Although I will say that currently commandos do allow for a bit of a crutch for that. Overall: Soviets > Ostheer = USF > OKW = Brits In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Jackson Overperforming23 May 2018, 14:27 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 07:10 AMthedarkarmadillo Sherman has great pen on its AP shells iirc. Don't recall the numbers but isn't it 140 close and something like 120 far? That's pretty great and again, I'm going off memory here but the AP shells also have an AOE of 2 (VS the regular 2.5 of multi purpose shells) so you are not trading so much AI for pretty solid AT. It might be interesting to see what knocking that AOE down a bit and seeing what elevated pen would look like (say give it TD AOE but like +20 pen on all ranges) then the Sherman could be the medium killer OR infantry killer but falls off VS combined arms approaches. 100/120/140 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW NOW the LEAST OP faction23 May 2018, 14:20 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 14:16 PMTobis TBH I've literally used the firestorm doctrine and rushed a hetzer in every match vs UKF and USF. Only lost twice so far with it. Was doing some scrims last night with fortune and he used that vs me 1 or 2 times. Actually a really decent unit now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bring back two man/woman soviet snipers [poll]23 May 2018, 14:16 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 07:21 AMSiphon X. for WPC, snipers were build in only 15 out of 75 games, even though T1 was built in 36 games. So, it seems unlikely that a 2 man team can't be balanced... IIRC WPC occured post june 2016 patch, where USF mortars were laser guided and penal flamers were the meta. If that is correct that'd explain the construction of t1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW NOW the LEAST OP faction23 May 2018, 14:13 PM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2018, 13:48 PMTobis I'm having a tough time vs soviets but absolutely crushing Brits and USF. Wait for the new meta to unfold. Can you explain your build order vs USF and UKF? I can't get OKW to work anymore. Infantry just don't cut it for me. On topic: "least OP" isn't a good way to describe any faction, but they do have their problems. From what I've seen from top players it looks like the OKW gameplay now is outspam your opponet with volks and use your early game sturms to stress your opponet till you can get a p4. Other than that though not a whole lot a different strategies work. In: COH2 Balance
