Thread: a soviet rework idea...11 Jan 2019, 22:11 PM hmm there is a point in what you say... but they wont be T0 shock troops... with a worse grease gun copy (equivalent firepower of 4 man assault engie) they would do significantly less damage than shocks and retain that huge conscript target size... which leaves them vulnerable to sturms and mg-42s allowing easy earlygame counters... the penal rework allows penals to be less oppressive to okw and ost in the first 5-15 minutes of the game... but retain good firepower for the entirety of the game...

Thread: a soviet rework idea...11 Jan 2019, 22:06 PM More than five million PPSh submachine guns were produced by the end of the war. The Soviets would often equip platoons and sometimes entire companies with the weapon, giving them excellent short-range firepower -wikipedia excerpt Bishop, Chris (2002).

Thread: a soviet rework idea...11 Jan 2019, 20:00 PM as of the moment with the conscripts abilities... molotov + ooraah + AT nade it seems like the conscript should be reworked into a dedicated cqc infantry squad... historically entire soviet conscript battalions would be equipped PPS and PPSH-41s with rifles being issued to more veteran squads.. soo the idea doesnt sound too crazy 250mp 6 pps-43 (greasegun stats but with lower acc equivalent firepower to 4 man assault engies) 60 muni upgrade to ppsh-41 ppsh doc changed to advanced conscript assault package... gets HE nade hit the dirt and smoke ala volks... hit the dirt doesnt decrease accuracy now this would mean that sov 1. can now field a t2 build without requiring a specific doctrine 2. now has a reason to field conscripts even while playing with T1 _______________________________________________________________ as for penals they should be reworked aswell imho... they are aggressively strong earlygame but taper significantly during the lategame... something should be done in order to flatten out their effectiveness... historically speaking entire battalions equipped with the tokarev SVT was rare... most of the time soviet troops would be equipped with either the mosin nagant or or a submachinegun... equipping penals with mosins + DP-28 should allow them to function as strong earlygame infantry and dedicated long range lategame infantry.... 280mp now renamed strelki (rifles) from penal battalion... uses the models from Osinyagov`s suggestion 6x guards mosin nagants satchel retained mutually exclusive DP-28 and PTRS-41 upgrade (soo no anti everything blob) now penals can function as the long range infantry squad (grenadier/obers analog) while conscripts can function as a cqc squad (pzgren/volksgren analog) allowing all units to be viable regardless of doctrines or teching...

Thread: Combat Engineers and its current state11 Jan 2019, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2019, 14:59 PMdistrofio I love the way you oversimplificate in your favour. Since you dont see the utility of CE, let me tell you. They are a logistical utility, imagine like a kubelwagen withoug a MG, plus CE can build defenses, sweep for mines AND they are DIRT CHEAP. How many times you suffered the loose of your CE (for comparison SP are really punishing each time you loose them). The only valid justification is that SU starves in manpower. Still they get a helping hand with CE being that cheap. They could use a UTILITY buff, you get my idea now? And democharges were a good thing, dont misunderstand my opinion about CE. problem is they arent even worth 170mp as a utility unit... if they had emplacements + improved repair speed maybe... but as of now they seem more like a 150 or even a 140mp unit... either 1. improve its utility... or 2. make it cheaper... Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2019, 14:59 PMdistrofio Pios bring Combat utility, and thats why SU has conscript. The only extra task is that you have 2 squads doing different things and need a little more micro, but the advantages and flexibility are far more than 1 single squad doing both. conscripts suck badly though... without a ppsh doc theyre arguably worse than pios... at least pios get flamers and construct lots of structures + sandbags + lays (better) mines... ive even had a friend that tried pio spamming vs an equivalent cons spam... the pio spam had the upper hand till i got the T-70... Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2019, 14:59 PMdistrofio The problem is that you are willingly ignorin what CE are good at (even a little) to obfuscate it with your wish for CE to be good at. I understand your position, but being in denial wont help to change it. Making them cheaper could be a good idea tho they arent good enough to justify their price though even with their current utility... they definitely should be cheaper... or at least get sandbags + emplacements...

Thread: Rework Penals11 Jan 2019, 18:48 PM actually the fundamental problem of the penal bat is the same with the old sturmpioneers... really strong earlygame but left with little use lategame.... changing out penals to use volks mosins + optional DP upgrade means that their lategame cost efficiency is increased in turn for reduced earlygame cost efficiency...

Thread: New Commander Submission - SOVIETS11 Jan 2019, 15:36 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2019, 14:17 PMdarkfireslide (2 CP) DP-28 Light Machine Gun Package for Conscripts. Allows Conscripts to upgrade to 1 DP-28 LMG for 50 munitions (or 2 for 90 if programming 1 DP is too difficult or buggy). This ability allows Conscripts to scale better into the late game without eliminating the need for more elite squads like Guards and Snipers. Conscripts would not be able to button enemy vehicles like Guards. Even lesser infantry of guard battalions would be equipped with superior weapons to allow them the firepower necessary to break German formations. this should probably be non doctrinal or smth tbh... conscripts are soo shit as of the moment..

Thread: Rename penals + commander suggestion11 Jan 2019, 12:28 PM i like option 2 Osinyagov... make it happen! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander Submission - SOVIETS11 Jan 2019, 11:14 AM Rename the T1 penals to strelki and change the visual of the model to that of frontoviki... retain all stats...(maybe) benefits from conscript bulletins or rename the only existing penal bulletin... Purely cosmetic changes... Commander suggestion: Penal battalion tactis This commander functions as a real penal bat to unleash the desperate horror of the red army against the fascist invader! 0cp shtraftniki/penal bats... 6 man squad 3 with freely tranferable conscript mosin nagants... can merge cap and recrew weapon teams but no other ability... 150mp squad 3cp NKVD commissar... requisitions an nkvd commissar 3cp commissar execution... commissar executes a soldier... all soldiers near commissar gets for the motherland like stat boosts... 5cp comrade vasily zaitsev... A special sniper with longer sight and higher rof is requisitioned... special ability reveals cloaked units within firing range... 8cp victory or death... All retreating units are killed for 30 seconds... no unit can get suppressed and gets for the motherland stat boosts... In: Lobby
