Thread: Poll: is the Ostwind underpowered?23 Mar 2019, 02:42 AM Ostwind is literally a joke. I think it should be able to hit infantry a little more consistently since it does have a slower firerate. Damage buff would probably make it a bit inconsistent and consequently slightly frustrating to use and to play against IMO, maybe AoE buff or scatter buff instead. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British - Lend Lease Assault - Feedback23 Mar 2019, 02:28 AM I like the concept but I think the mortar should definitely be replaced with the US mortar halftrack. Still fits with the theme and the USF mortar realllly reallllly isn't worth a slot in a commander. It's like call-in mg34 for ostheer lol. Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2019, 21:55 PMSkysTheLimit Would be nice if the lend-lease HT could drop medkits. If you plan on getting any assault sections when you pick this commander then your healing is gonna be extra rare. And assault squads don't exactly stay away from enemy fire. Remember you can always make the forward position for healing. It's only barely more expensive than ost med bunker and gets to reinforce too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback23 Mar 2019, 02:23 AM Just looking at this commander, it seems really meh. The riflenades are interesting but not significantly better than flamers or anything (I like the concept a lot though). Calliope is still garbage since it only got a small buff, and smoke is nice but I wouldn't pick a doctrine for it, same with dozer blades. The only really good thing is rangers and I'd rather back them up with a pershing than calliopes lol. It doesn't really offer anything stand-out or new (other than the riflenades) to me IMO.

Thread: Playing against AI good practice?17 Mar 2019, 20:36 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2019, 19:54 PMKatitof Just keep playing mp until you get better, really no other way. AI games are good only to get to know how faction works before going mp. +1 People play much differently than AI and timings are much different when your opponent isn't just cheating its way to tech. You'll get a much better feel for the game and get much better by by playing against real people even if you lose. In: Lobby
Thread: Thoughts on Panzergrenadiers17 Mar 2019, 15:49 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2019, 10:46 AMVonManteuffel I really appreciate this topic, because I also see your concerns Miragefla! In my opinion the Wehrmacht pioneers are the pivot. Make them worth buying, give them better close combat qualities and you can build 2 Pios + 2 Grens + MG and you are fine teching T2 getting PGs. Ost Pios are totally useless for combat at the moment. Even with flamethrowers, they die too quick and don't do any damage. They sometimes even lose versus Soviet engineers or Rear Echelons while having MP40 submachineguns... Thats the reason why Wehr needs minimum 3 Grens, bettter 4 of them (and Allies whine about blobbing/spamming). Just compare them with Royal Engineers. They can get a 5th man, are also close combat with Sten guns, but are way better than Pios. If you manage to get your 4-5 men Royal Engis suqad in cc with a Wehr Grenadier, you really grab them by the pussy! I don't say they have to be a Sturmpios light version. They just have to be capable of fighting Conscripts, GIs and Tommys in the early game at close, very close range. Penals are more expansive but should also be less potent at close range because semi-auto rifles are not the same as full-auto MPs. Therefore Pios should not be able to extinguish penals in CC but should also do some decent damage. So when you got your 2 Grens at long range and you get your Pios rushing into CC, you should have a good chance to win in early game. MGs would still be a strong counter, so I don't see any unbalance. We already have Sturm Pios and they are also not an issue. After 5-6 mins you should then be able to get PGs on the field to replace the pioneers. Cause then USF gets BAR, Tommys get 5 men or Brens an Soviet call in Guards, Shocks or upgrade their Cons with PPSH (Penals have Vet 1 and are a lot stronger then) In conclusion, buff Pioneers a bit and you get some new meta in eraly game. For PGs in particular, I would give them a smoke grenade as it was proposed in the last Balance Preview Patch. This would give them a better chance to flank enemy MGs and give the Wehrmacht a better offense ability. That's all I would do with PGs. Pios are one of the strongest engineer units (not counting sturms ofc), probably only matched by royal engineers who come later, are a bit more expensive, don't have a nondoc flamer but can be 5 men nondoc. Pios also get to see really far, which is nice for supporting mgs. Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2019, 11:56 AMFarlon Pios do actually win against conscripts, rears and soviet engis. They even have a chance to win vs riflemen or penals if they're at point blank range. This. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pfusies grenade17 Mar 2019, 15:21 PM How come it's so garbage? I rarely use it but it seems like every time I get it thrown at me it only kills like 1 guy even if I don't even try to dodge it. Seems weird to me that it's not more on par with the pineapple or guards/shocks grenade. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Simple OKW Redesign10 Mar 2019, 16:34 PM The weird part about obers is that they're just better vanilla volks without the lmgs, so I'm just not really sure they'd be a meaningful choice. That and they'd have to be heavily rebalanced to not just seal club everything as a first unit. Imagine an ober and a sturmpio going up against a rifle and a rear echelon or a CE and a penal. There'd literally be no way to win as the allies in that matchup. Also the thing about t2 being strong enough as is. Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2019, 16:29 PMblvckdream I dont agree with this at all. I think that all OKW units are decently balanced other than maybe the Raketenwerfer which is just a bit too cheesy. Ideally it should only be able to cloak while being stationary but get a 5th man in exchange to make it harder to get wiped. KT also needs some buffs, maybe turret rotation speed and earlier access to the spearhead ability. All the other units OKW has are decently balanced. The only thing that OKW units need is a veterancy requirement patch. Leig is way too hard to vet up compared to mortars, that´s why it feels so lackluster. Sturmpioneer veterancy requirements are a bit too high. KT vet requirements are completly retarded at the moment and need to be lowered. +1 vet requirements on those units really do suck. Not sure I remember the last time I saw even a vet 2 or 3 sturmpio. I'd say it's a bit much to compare OKW to pre (or even post) SBP brits. The only disadvantage with the way their army is structured by comparison is they have a split tech tree. Brits have to crutch on certain stuff because they still lack some basic tools like garrison clearance and mobile indirect and they have hardly any unit variety in t0 and 1 at all in terms of infantry and vehicles that fill different roles (and only 1 call-in combat infantry unit lmao).

Thread: Stuka should be placed in T410 Mar 2019, 04:46 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2019, 04:06 AMkingdun3284 In 1v1 , yes. In 4v4, no. 1. There is resouce inflation in team game 2. It is not difficult for ostheer to hold a fuel point with mg42 and bunker spam while every indirect fire team weapon of ally to breakthrough it become unplayable due to stuka. Teamgames are a different story and stukas are better there because everything is more congested, but so is other rocket arty. But in teamgames allies can pull some BS too. Multiple scotts is really strong and pretty hard to counter (a lot harder to dive than stukas) but does come a lot later I guess. And even with "resource inflation" that particular guy's first tank will be 100 fuel slower. Imagine waiting until you had cost+100 fuel to build your first tank and take that into account too.
