Hey you stole that from me |
I never understood why they changed the Scott so that it overlaps with the pak howi. They nerfed pak howi AOE because going 2 of them was strong against blobby-campy players. They gave it the mega useless, more bleed 1 extra guy (who is clumped up with the rest of the weapon team so no real survivability there), and with already on a 1.25 RA modifier, just straight up nerfed it.
Instead of making the pak howi a strong barrage weapon (eg hitting a super clumped up yellow cover squad means death and not just 1 model down with 15% hp left). It's really comical. I always go for double pak in every 3v3 I play and in each and every one of them, paks reach vet2-3 with less than 10 kills on each. The nerf really hammered down the lethality of it. You pay 340 just to damage infantry.
Scott could have been a mini brummbar to deal with fussie/ober blobs but it's just a barraging tool.... like the pak howi.
Rifles go down as the game progresses because the fights are no longer close to medium range, so long range specialists dominate (obers, JLI, falls). Coupled with the annoyingly long snare animation. Just now lost 2 squads of rifles to 2 obers trying to snare two 1 pixel HP P4Js, vet2 obers took down 2 vet3 rifles on medium range faster than each rifle managed to fire one snare on each P4. Comical.
USF is fine as is in 1v1s. 2v2 you really need to be careful and rely on paths to negate some maps (bad design, wide arc MG can push you back easily with a bit of micro).
3v3 is horrible for USF on most maps.
Don't play 4v4 so not gonna comment. Doubt it's any better.
If they nerf the pathfinders because some low rank people find them OP, well... after the scott rework into a mobile pak howi and the constant stream of nerfs to indirects, they really will cement their position as "incompetent people of COH2"
The extra dude on the pack howie actually makes a big difference because that means it can still survive if all 3 guys on the gun get killed. When it was 5 man and that happened it was just a wipe lol. |
Recon commander is actually pretty decent pick in 1v1 against WM.
IR pathfinder's sight and it's barrage is very useful against mg or AT.
pak-howi + airborne is very cost effective skill that enhances vs inf. power signifantly.
Only thing I don't like about it is Greyhound, but still, it got very good buff(bug fix that has been lasted forever) lately.
Wait what bug on the greyhound got fixed? I wasn't even aware it was bugged. |
Grens and MG42 are broken.
uh |

I'm so glad we're giving Brits like 10 random buffs but not actually addressing the real issues with the faction like the complete lack of nondoc indirect or the fact that the AVRE is/is going to be really OP. |
Especially the Fallschrimjager is incredibly annoying. Before Vet2, it is impossible to use the ambush bonus since whenever you release hold fire or right click on the enemy directly from the cover, unit will instantly rotate and break camo before striking. Also, camouflage constantly breaks momentarily for the unit while its models "chat" with each other.
Same issue happens with support paras with the zook upgrade too. Not that it matter because they're terrible, but they must have the same camo as falls I guess. |

The ignoring hold fire command is an easy fix. You need to make sure the unit is fully reinforced before you give it a hold fire command or the models that come out after you turn on hold fire will disregard it (so reinforcing a 3 man storm trooper on hold fire => 4th man will ignore hold fire command because it was toggled before he reinforced). Not sure why that happens but it's repeatable (so is definitely the issue) and is a pretty easy fix as long as you remember to just put hold fire on after they're fully reinforced. |

Easy 8 being like slightly faster and having 5 more range and supposedly being equivalent to the comet is a good meme |
Totally agree and I have suggested this change multiple times, no idea why such a simply change has not been implemented already (and see if further adjustment are needed).
Either a cost increase or a reduction in the ability's area of sight given would also be warranted IMO since it is just straight up better than a recon loiter because it's constant in the entire area and is uncounterable. Also some sort of audio warning would be nice. There are the visuals but it's easy to just never notice it if it's in some random place. |

It'd be great if spec ops flares didn't literally have like a 5 second cooldown. |
