Thread: So What Exactly Does UKF Do Now?26 Aug 2018, 19:22 PM Commandos are honestly the best thing hands down that brits have going for them. They aren’t ordinary infantry and can’t be used as such because they have relatively large RA compared to other elite infantry and are expensive, but if you make good use of the camouflage bonuses you can easily beat or wipe squads without even losing men and then fade back into the fog of war. They’re the only reason I still play brits at all and they’re a ton of fun if used right. The t0 units also work very well together and can do a lot of damage without actually taking much if used correctly and carefully (which makes it easier to make more commandos later). One of the biggest problems I see is that brits can’t counter indirect effectively in 1v1s and kind of just have to cry and get shelled the entire time. In: UKF Strategies
Thread: demo charge bonus damage against uncrewed support weapons26 Aug 2018, 18:22 PM I like the idea of camo in cover, especially since goliaths still have it. Just a few other (not necessarily balanced or good) ideas off the top of my head: Shortening the radius of detection so infantry at least have to be much closer to see it. Making it so vehicles can’t detect them. Adding a 1.5-2 second timer before detonating that’s visible to everyone. Reverting them to the old style demo charges but making it so they only reduce squads to one man (sort of like mines). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION20 Aug 2018, 22:58 PM I wish they would do something with airborne company. It has way too many callins to be useful and recon support just has so many better aspects that it really doesn't feel worth using at all. In: Lobby

Thread: vickers20 Aug 2018, 22:54 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2018, 10:08 AMVipper USF mortar was OP. It was superior to werh one on release. Even if it had identical stats it could still be OP since factions are designed differently. Tell that to brits fighting an ostheer mortar, or usf or brits vs a wehr sniper. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 Utility Car Rework20 Aug 2018, 17:54 PM I think the skirt should be given by default. I find that between having to upgrade that and laying mines, you really have to sacrifice anti infantry firepower (BARs) in order to make good use of the m20 and it's just much more appealing to get an AAHT. I don't think they'd be all that spammable since they lose handily to axis light vehicles (assuming you don't use the bazooka, which would theoretically be removed if the m20 was changed at all) but an increase rather than decrease to fuel cost could alleviate that potential issue. Also I think it vets too slow still. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: USF White phosphorous mortar rounds17 Aug 2018, 04:42 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 03:43 AMAlphrum those nades dont reudce units HP and is only in a small area. I think at least retreating units shouldn't slow down, making squads very vulnerable to wipes even if u react fast enough I was answering a question with no statement of how good it was. Why you want to argue with me I don't know. That being said, it's still useful because it is targeted (not subject to random scatter like the WP barrage) and blocks sight like brit WP, and I'm pretty sure it does do damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if Thompson paratroopers could camouflage?17 Aug 2018, 03:36 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 03:26 AMShadowLinkX37 Well after thinking about it for more than 3 seconds I realized that stormtroopers have both camo and tactical assault, which is what these would become. However they only have 4 men and I don’t recall the DPS curve comparisons for the Thompson vs the StG44. What I do know is that they both have very forgiving DPS curves. While it is difficult to get paratroopers through open flanks undetected, if and when you can get them on those retreat paths it is an absolute slaughter fest. They can wipe practically any unit that is retreating with tactical assault. They’re still good on CQC oriented maps. I prefer them over the LMGs (but I prefer rangers because of the Pershing) on kholodney ferma. Specifically in the south around all those hedges. If you’re just looking for less bleed try vetted rangers with Thompson’s. Less DPS but higher RA IIRC. You can walk them up to vet 5 obers with the 34 and win. Yeah I just don’t use Thompson paras because they mostly get outclassed by rangers, and because 1919s work much better on paras anyway. Vetted rangers are from the matrix or something lol. But yeah, I was thinking about it as sort of an over the top thing, but I realized you have stormtroopers (as you stated) and also falls with camo along with commandos. All have powerful nades and either an ambush bonus/active ability or very forgiving dps curves or both. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What if Thompson paratroopers could camouflage?17 Aug 2018, 03:12 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Aug 2018, 03:06 AMShadowLinkX37 Initial thought before reading: hell no! Why? Because they’re the highest DPS unit in the game. Thoughts after reading post: no Fair enough XD So I did make you go from hell no to no though? Must have made a compelling argument for a dumb concept. However, it seems to me like there’s not a lot of reason to use Thompson paras except maybe as a dedicated wiping squad in 1v1s since they’re kinda squishy. I would legitimately like to know if I’m wrong and there’s other better ways to use them. In: COH2 Balance
