Thread: shouldnt the grenadier be wearing the pioneer uniforms?27 Dec 2018, 06:41 AM https://www.google.com/search?q=german+soldiers+eastern+front&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi_lrSFs7_fAhUBwLwKHVYMB4QQ_AUIDigB&biw=1787&bih=878 taking a look at german soldiers in the eastern front it seems that they mostly do wear the standard grey camo... its prolly not historically accurate for the average soldier to get splittertarnmuster In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Increase light jaegars price27 Dec 2018, 06:30 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 19:09 PMSander93 I'm gonna propose we ignore gbem's rambles from here on so the grown ups can actually have a proper discussion on how to improve JLI's balance rather than nerfing them into non existance. He made his point and that's fine even though no one agrees (that's fine too), now we should move on to actually bring something constructive to the table. Cost increase to 280-300MP and ~70MU for the sniper seems to a good place to start. 1CP should stay to fit the squad into OKW's build order as this is good for diversity. Their performance is fine (a bit too cost effective right now), the main problem is that they overperform when spammed. Increasing their cost should fix this. understand that they will continue to massacre penals for a 280mp cost unless the crit is reduced aswell and explain to me how reduction to 40% crit (which was my suggestion) is nerfing to non existence? that just brings them down to pathfinder levels and pathfinders are not nonexistent In: COH2 Balance
Thread: shouldnt the grenadier be wearing the pioneer uniforms?26 Dec 2018, 18:36 PM i find it odd that grens are wearing camoflaged clothes when soldiers in the eastern front generally wore the standard grey german uniforms that pioneers wear... disclaimer this is a cosmetic change suggestion not suggesting any changes to grens outside of cosmetics* In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Increase light jaegars price26 Dec 2018, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 18:13 PMPuppetmaster The way you talk and spam this thread it seems like you are suggesting they are unbeatable. If you are struggling vs them there is no shame in asking for help. im saying they are ridiculously cost efficient for their performance which they are... jagers are 4 man sniper teams and should be treated as such or get nerfed to 40% critical which puts it in line with pathfinders... the main contension between me and tobis is the fact that i disagree with his assessment of a 280mp pricetag being balanced... because even at 280 they still outperform paths and penals by a large margin at long to medium combat ranges outside cover and at short ranges in cover v cover... mind you jagers are more of a sniper squad than line infantry and should be priced accordingly... yes there is no shame in asking for help... it was thru deliberation with a friend of mine that i developed a fairly inefficient counter to jagers by massing SU-76 fire + mine combo... regardless it is still a very inefficient method of countering them... and remains my chief method of actually beating the jagerspam... ive actually had a few 2v2s where i broke the jagerspam consistently thanks to these tactics... unfortunately this is a very cost inefficient process and takes time to hit the critical mass required to obliterate the jagerspam... however there is no satisfaction that can come close to the feeling of wiping 2x jagers in a barrage of 4x SU-76... a beautiful sight indeed...

JLI are the equivalent of 4 man sniper teams with sprint...someone that uses JLI without screening volks is usually doomed due to the T-70/M3... but with volks penals cant touch you... which leaves you the options i gave... btw closing in from max range with penals still gets you screwed by JLI on a penal vs JLI situation... Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 17:07 PMTobis Sitting in cover at 10 meters is not close range. Sitting in cover is exactly what jaegers are designed to counter. Get in close range and the penals will annihilate the jaegers. If there are already volks and jaegers in cover waiting to ambush you then you need more than just blobbing penals to deal with them. You already let them get a superior position than you, that's why you are losing these engagements. great... someone doesnt get the point... ok let me simplify it this way... okw uses jagers to attack at a long distance plinking at penals... i try sniping but no way in hell is my sniper gonna be more efficient than 250mp terminators... so i lose... i decide to attack with penals instead of trying to plink at long range... you still lose because of STG volks i decide to use vehicles... still lose bc rakaten + pzfaust... the reason why the old OKW was vulnerable was because the soviet sniper could punish OKW static play... thus forcing OKW to attack and to try to close the gap to use their STG advantage vs my rifle equipped infantry... but then the situation is lopsided now... penals lose at long range... penals lose at close range... there is no combat situation left where the soviets can challenge OKW thanks to JLI... as opposed to pre dec patch where i could force OKW to attack via snipes barrage etc... simply put there is nothing sov can do that can beat JLI + Volk + rakaten combo efficiently... it simply wins in close medium and long range engagements and whether i rush it or not... i cannot force it to attack and i cannot rush it and expect to survive... the only real counter that works vs jagers was massed SU-76 barrage fire annihilating the OKW infantry force + mass mining the area once i took it over... and mind you this only works vs players lower in skill than yours... mostly those that dont bother to get sweepers In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I don't know what to do with Stuart26 Dec 2018, 17:05 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 16:33 PMFelixTHM Precisely. The Stuart was blatantly OP beyond any reasonable belief and got nerfed down to average levels of performance. Did it get nerfed too much? Perhaps. Old Stuart wasn't even fathomable from a balance perspective, and was only indirectly counterable by Old Kubels raping USF early game, which gave the old Stuart a very poor timing window. The new Stuart denies the Luchs of a window of opportunity - timing is a quality in and of itself that isn't represented by stats. We all remember how unplayable Mechanised was when Luchs took 90 seconds to build. ill be honest though... the new m20 is soo good now that i prefer it over the stuart... lay some mines kill some squads delay till sherman or jackson ??? profit In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price26 Dec 2018, 16:52 PM mind you jagers are not gonna be alone but going to have volksgrenadiers with STGs supporting them... they are a force multiplier like snipers but unlike snipers they can outshoot a penal squad at 10 meters and should be priced accordingly In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Increase light jaegars price26 Dec 2018, 16:50 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 16:36 PMTobis I didn't say long range squad I said fighting them in green cover, which snipers are designed to counter. Literally advance 2 meters to negate cover and annihilate them at close range, absolutely useless to compare them with penals at 10 meters in green cover because only a moron would play like that. trying to advance into a jager squad from maximum range means certain death... hiding on cover trying to fight the jagers means certain death... the only option for the soviet player is to use a sniper which JLI spawning from behind counters... abuse an M3 or a T-70 which the rakaten counters... or mass artillery which is inefficient vs a light recon squad...

Thread: Increase light jaegars price26 Dec 2018, 16:27 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 15:53 PMTobis Standing in green cover and trying to trade with jaegers is moronic, how can you even call that a test. thats at 10 meters this is already short range and yet this "long range recon squad" still trades better than 300mp line infantry... if you dont think this is broken then you are smoking one helluva joint to give you a perspective 10 meters is the distance a penal can throw the satchel... Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2018, 15:53 PMTobis Literally nobody agrees with you about the 340 mp cost, quit flooding the thread. You are distracting people from actual suggestions to fix jaegers. your suggestion of nerfing them 280mp is still too cheap for jagers seeing how they butcher penals... this ridiculous assertion of a "long range recon squad" trading shots at close range and winning vs 300mp line infantry is stupid... remember this is CLOSE RANGE were talking about not long or medium range... and line infantry still lose mind you my preferred suggestion is a simple nerf to 40% crit which brings it in line with pathfinders... no price adjustment needed... i simply stated 340mp 2cp pricetag as a response to those who actually want to keep jagers as a 70% crit infantry unit... mostly against wehraboos In: COH2 Balance
