Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?1 Aug 2019, 17:59 PM tbh the 42 isnt the reason why earlygame cons have huge problems... the main issue is the volks and grens get their weapon upgrades almost imemdiately while cons take ages to recieve their upgrades... that plus okw having waay too much starting MP compared to sov, sturm + volk vs engineer + cons means that the soviets are pretty much gonna be in the backfoot at the start of the game... the best solution imo is put the conscript upgrade to T3 (the upgrade is quite powerful to be fair) then add 10% DPS to the base conscript rifle...

SVTs are good for the early-mid game, while the 7th man is better for the late game. grens rifles IS and volks become significantly better after a single tech upgrade or a sidetech... meanwhile conscripts have to wait till T4 in order to recieve a similar upgrade... move it to T3 to be fair with EVERY other faction ingame...

Veterancy boost useless, overall upgrade looks as tiny attempt to do from cons something more neither canon fodder and your MP drain. What i will say to pgrens (don't forget that they will arrive much sooner than before patch) and volks - "Can you don't push me until i will get my T4 and make upgrade. Thank you." SVT from airborne you will get on 1 CP. thats why id like the 7 man upgrade to be tied with T3 instead of T4... we dont need nondoc PPSH or nondoc SVT... just tie 7th man to T3 In: COH2 Balance

The 7th person only gives you a bonus in a static cover position, which makes you more vulnerable. SVT-40 real help, 7th person the ridiculous role of improvement. Although at the same time, the Soviet paratroopers did not receive the abilities of their real role - acting behind enemy lines. well one has to consider that the 30% DPS boost per model isnt the only advantage here... also consider the: 20% veterancy bonus (which allows cons to hit vet 3 faster) +1 model (80 HP and 16% more DPS) and most importantly 17MP reinforce cost In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?1 Aug 2019, 12:34 PM well technically the upgrades already do that... for 50 muni u get reduction to 17 mp per 80 HP model 30% DPS buff per model in cover 20% veterancy buff (remember that conscripts get crazy vet buffs) + 1 model (and 1 mosin) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG34 idea1 Aug 2019, 12:32 PM a good idea would be to rebuff the maxim and move the cons vet upgrade to T3... that would give the soviets good mainline infantry much earlier... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?1 Aug 2019, 12:28 PM actually im inclined to think the 7 man upgrade is slightly superior to the SVT... since the DPS buff the in cover bonus + 1 man gives allows conscripts to crush LMG grens... this is on top of the reduction of MP reinforce to 17mp also i really like the 20% veterancy bonus from the upgrade... it allows conscripts to hit vet 3 very quickly... the real issue here is timing the upgrade simply comes too late... that and the maxim is still shit and is in dire need of love In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?1 Aug 2019, 12:11 PM the worst part is you would basically be forced to choose between a T-70 or viable mainline infantry in the 5-7 minute mark... this is in contrast to OKW which gets both viable mainline infantry and a luchs at the same time... even if the upgrade were linked to T3 the STG volks would come out sooner though... but much more managable than before... also mollys arent bad... i like them and use them constantly it just goes to show how bad the stock soviet lineup is right now noting how most veteran players continue to opt for doctrinal upgrades (SVT and PPSH) in order to patch conscripts up earlier... things are completely different 2v2 and above though... the choice between a T-70 and T4 is much easier there soo conscripts are actually fare better in those cases...

Thread: What do people think of Conscripts after the patch?1 Aug 2019, 12:01 PM the upgrade for the conscript is really really good... ive been able to go toe to toe with LMG grens STG volks even LMG obers cost effectively using conscripts in yellow cover so long as u can avoid the grenades... thats on top of their utility as merger units ooraah rushers with a molotov and a snare... HOWEVER conscripts at the start of the game have the consistency of a wet noodle against anything... but most especially OKW since STG volks can practically bully conscripts out of the battle... recommend making the 7 man upgrade to T3 and giving sliiight buffs to the stock conscript DPS...

Thread: Thoughts and experiments on conscript openings vs okw1 Aug 2019, 09:34 AM is there truly no way to beat OKW with conscripts and/or maxim though? or does the 7 man upgrade come a bit too late to save the game? In: Red Army Strategies
