Thread: Conscript 7th men too much?12 Oct 2020, 16:52 PM again... why are we trying to nerf the worst baseline infantry (tied with grens) in the game?? the soviets already have the lowest winrate in this game period. stop trying to push that number even lower... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Why Soviets are OP26 Sep 2020, 11:09 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2020, 09:50 AMVipper If one want to redesign Soviet without commanders one has to actually bring Soviet commander inline with other factions and removed and tone down most doctrinal units. Currently Soviet have a plethora of doctrinal units and many of them are above the doctrinal units of other factions. im perfectly fine with this statement... id rather see stuff like guards and shocks put in line as opposed to having the soviets play with a gutted stock design In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP25 Sep 2020, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2020, 18:15 PMSully It's mind boggling to me how Soviets have gotten a free pass to have blatantly OP units/abilities over the years while all other factions have swung wildly between UP and OP. maybe thats because the soviets are performing poorly based on automatch stats... and are highly reliant on a single OP unit (or a certain commander) to carry their nonexistent midgame infantry play In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP24 Sep 2020, 16:26 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 15:50 PMCreativeName basically everything you say is very exaggerated. weapon upgrades > mines is just wrong an lmg-gren that hit a mine wont beat a con, same with stg volks. Mine spam is probably the strongest aspect of soviet play, dunno why you are trying to tell me its not. It legit destroys you when you dont sweep and not a single other faction can match soviets in their ability to spam them. in the okw vs sov matchup, soviet mines cost the same and are stronger. Volks lose more dps per mine than cons, are more expensive to reinforce and are more spammable with double engies. okw cant afford to spam mines, your sturm pios has to sweep and fight and you need the munis for stgs, flame nades and med crates. in the ost vs soviet matchup, soviet mines bleed and force retreat on evey hit while s-mines can be avoided by reading signs. dunno how you can argue that ost mines are better when you can trade 10 muni for 30mp with one trip wire Teller mines are gold, i agree on that mines are powerful but its kinda bullshit to think that mines are a suitable replacement... for starters weapon upgrades give alot more offensive potential... theyre way more mobile and are not hard countered by 30 munitions worth of sweepers... and theyre also not reliant on the enemy fumbling over the mine... yes mines are strong but they are NOT replacements to weapon upgrades... Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 15:50 PMCreativeName "it also means sacrificing much of the map in a defensively styled play while having 0 offensive potential at all..." simply not true, push off a squad and plant a mine, hows that defensive? push off a squad? with your inferior infantry? Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 15:50 PMCreativeName upgraded volks and lmg grens dont dominate cons, they just dont. And when we are talking about pre-light vehicle phase, you cant expect to have upgrades on all your units they actually do in a sense that you have to be in green cover to stand any chance against em as yellow cover is not enough for conscripts to win... hence the term dominate is applicable also they can fire a riflenade (which is dogable) or flamenade you out of green cover pretty easily... Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 15:50 PMCreativeName the maxim is not shit but i guess im kinda alone on that opinion, supression is fine and iirc it packs up alot faster than the mg34/42 so it is more mobile its suppression is worse than that of the mg34... yes it packs up faster by around a second but if youre trading firing arc and suppression for packup time alone then absolutely not worth it In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP24 Sep 2020, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:47 PMCreativeName flamer against soviet is suicide, have fun losing half of your men to mines and trip wires everytime you cap. great soo the soviets need to spend huge amounts of muni on mines and tripwires while expecting to upgrade to flamers and expecting to match units that will absolutely destroy them outright... it also means sacrificing much of the map in a defensively styled play while having 0 offensive potential at all... also weapon upgrades > mines Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:47 PMCreativeName and weapon upgrades dont help you push cons behind sandbags, neither can conscripts actually push out volks/grens in sandbags let alone STG volks/LMG grens in sandbags... and STG volks can somewhat reliably defeat conscripts through the use of a flamenade... Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:47 PMCreativeName kill a t70 early-midgame... no such thing as a T-70 Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:47 PMCreativeName or sweep mines. did you know that OKW has mines too? sure they wont be able to afford it if they buy STGs but still... also weapon upgrades > mines Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:47 PMCreativeName your inf is slightly stronger, not dominating correction... volksgrenadiers are slightly stronger than conscripts... but are dominating once they get the STG... conscripts and grenadiers are kinda balanced... but dominating once they get the LMG... Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:47 PMCreativeName id take a mobile 6man maxim over mg34 any day, specially when you can keep it on the field with merge. they have the same setup time soo "mobile" is a lie... 6 man is a lie when they get wiped just as easily due to deathloop... meanwhile the actual stats that make an MG useful such as suppression and firing arc are in favor of the MG34... merge is probably the only real argument here but it doesnt make the maxim as good as an mg34 to compare the midgame situation unit by unit OST VS SOV pio flamer = CE flamer LMG grenadiers > conscripts MG42 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> maxim pak 40 < zis-3 222/flamer HT > nothing... T-70 isnt out yet teller mine + S-mine > sov mine (arguably) literally the only unit sov gets better in the midgame is the zis 3 OKW VS SOV sturmpio > CE flamer (unless urban map) STG vloks > conscripts MG34 > maxim rak <<<<<<<<<<<<< zis-3 okw mine = sov mine luchs and T-70 not out yet okw still retains a large infantry advantage in a unit by unit comparison In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why Soviets are OP24 Sep 2020, 14:37 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 14:31 PMCreativeName All youre saying is that soviet early-mid game is weak cause its weak, id like to hear an argument why. You dont need a doc to compete, i dont understand why you say that. soviet stock army can deal with everything except ostruppen. Yes soviet early-mid game isnt op imo, but far from weak. You dont need an m3 against okw, double flamer and con spam is enough i already said it... the moment volks/grens get weapon upgrades conscripts are gonna be fighting tooth and nail to survive... unupgraded conscripts cannot compete against LMG grenadiers or STG volks and the icing on the cake is that your MG is outright worse than both OKW and OST MGs.... and before you say flamer imma say now that ost gets a flamer aswell while OKW can just blob you to death... and before you say maxim ill say MG34 (which is better than the maxim)... and the flamer will not compensate for the fact that your mainline infantry and your machinegun is worse than theirs In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Why Soviets are OP24 Sep 2020, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 13:53 PMCreativeName yes, alot of the strong soviet units/abilities are doctrinal... but how does that make the argument not valid in any way? Its exactly the same with every other faction, like ostruppen, 5man grens, wc51, valentine, commandos, pak howi drop etc. you need meta commanders to beat meta commanders uhh when the entire midgame of a faction relies on a doctrine you know the faction is badly designed... stock SOV is not as competitive as any of the stock options that other factions get simply because it will be deleted in the midgame Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2020, 13:53 PMCreativeName ostruppen are simply OP, i dont think anyone would argue about that and specially soviets suffer against them, that doesnt make the soviet early-mid game weak. but the soviet early-midgame is weak... the reason why sov can punish OKW is because of the M3 and how T1 can absolutely body OKW... and even without ostruppen the moment grenadiers or volksgrenadiers have a weapon upgrade conscripts start having and youre gonna have to fight tooth and nail till you get the T-70 In: COH2 Balance

Cons are not supposed to be damage dealers. They are support for the damage dealers. whats the damage dealer for the soviet midgame? is it supposed to be the maxim? In: COH2 Balance
