Thread: Soviet September patch discussion18 Aug 2019, 20:27 PM Those that suggest nerfing cons prolly havent done T2/cons oriented builds... or are using conscripts to support penals...(in which case they do just fine) In either case taking the penal out of the equation will highlight the deficiency of the conscript... even with 7 men Tldr stop trying to nerf the conscript... Fix the penal instead In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion18 Aug 2019, 20:12 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2019, 20:03 PMJibberJabberJobber How many on there are actually top players with all factions like creativename? I agree with creativename, hold back changes to 7 men cons timing for now and wait how the meta develops after patch. The 7 men upgrade makes conscripts not only win most fights against upgraded Grens and Volks, but also makes them crazy cost efficient at it. It should stay a late game upgrade imo. Id think penals being too effective may be half the reason for this logic... but T2 and conscript centric builds do not have the luxury of penals to support them... Id rather tone down the penal instead to give the spotlight to T2/conscript centric builds aswell... For someone that abandoned penals (since i found em cheesy)... these changes would allow the conscript centric/t2 oriented builds to compete much more efficiently... all we need now are some penal changes In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim redesign redirect thread18 Aug 2019, 19:53 PM Well the problem is conscripts... they do jack shit worth of damage hence are mostly just damage sponges for the enemy to shoot at... penals fix this by doing terrifying amounts of damage... of course t2 doesnt get penals... soo it has no way of effectively dealing damage... changing the maxim to have 2 modes... a dps oriented low setup time and no suppression assault mg and a suppression oriented high setup time low dps defense MG would fix the 2 issues of sov T2 Namely the lack of damage dealing tools... and the lack of suppression In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion18 Aug 2019, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2019, 18:42 PMCreativeName concensus of who? 4v4 main players maybe. 7man cons upgrade changes how the unit works, 30% less weapon cooldown and reinforcement cost reduction. -> more dps, more durability, alot more trading efficiency Weapon upgrades only up the dps. My problem is the huge powerspike soviets get at t3... tripple buff for this is too much, cant say this enough https://www.coh2.org/topic/94292/what-do-people-think-of-conscripts-after-the-patch do note that other factions experience power spikes aswell... to varying degrees of course... but note that the spike may seem to be smaller at first impression.... however this is due to the more spread out nature of their upgrades... take ost for example... if i were to move the LMG42 to BP2 + ost T3 they recieve an equally huge... arguably larger powerspike than say 7 man cons and a T-70... but this powerspike doesnt seem apparent since ost gets LMG42s at a separate timing to the panzer 4... less of a spike more of a stairstep... and yet achieving the same "specific power" for both sides aka... does it make the specific power of ost at that specific moment weaker than that of sov? i dont think so... a P4 + LMG42s are prolly gonna be better than a T-70 with 7 man cons... and though the spike itself is higher for the T-70 + 7 man cons timing... the current model of LMG grens + P4 achieves overall higher levels of power albeit more gradually and less... "spikey"... than a T-70 + 7 man cons timing of course penals break all of these dynamics... but i most certainly loathe the penal + guards2win meta In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim redesign redirect thread18 Aug 2019, 18:07 PM I like the shell swap idea... that ways the maxim truly becomes an assault MG (DPS dealer) with the option to swap to a defense MG with slightly improved suppression Plus it means conscripts having a bad start can be migitated by the firepower of the new assault maxim...

Thread: Cheese units meta: remove or replace?18 Aug 2019, 18:01 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2019, 14:21 PMStug life Take the usf gun, paint it blue, remove the pen round ability, copy the soviet camo but instead of reload bonus increase pen and accuracy to around 100 % for the first shoot tada new pak 38 for okw Or u could use the soviet m45.. recolor it grey or blue... then call it a pak 36 with the same stats as the USF AT gun (The M45 really looks like the pak 36) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet September patch discussion18 Aug 2019, 17:56 PM Even at t3 7 man conscripts still come way after LMG42s STGs BARs and BRENs... i really dont see how 7 man conscripts at T3 is anymore powerful than LMGs at BP1 or STGs at the first HQ truck And note that the general concensus of conscripts is that they are a joke till they recieve the upgrade...

Thread: Wehrmacht September patch discussion18 Aug 2019, 10:45 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2019, 10:34 AMDangerous-Cloth You are forgetting superior infantry with higher model counts that fight alongside this armada. Then we have the indirect fire that is always around, which is more effective against ost lower squad sizes. If you get 2 panthers, you have no room or resources left for AI vehicles, which you desperately need to fight the higher model and more effective infantry of the allied opponents. If you get AI vehicles, you have no room or resources for 2 panthers and your AI vehicle gets bullied by TDs and you still can't fight the infantry hordes. the panzerwerfer is great for fighting vehicle and artillery spam... plus the only real arty that poses a threat to grens are either rocket arty... tanks scotts... or pack howis... rocket arty can be suicided at by panzers along with scotts...tanks can be pushed back by AT guns... and the pack howi can be counterbatteried by the panzerwerfer... the best strat to do when the enemy builds 2 SU/jacksons is to either 1. get MG-42s and creep em forward with panzerwerfers to kill enemy arty 2. creep grens forward but keep them separate to cap territory... 3. move the AT gun forward to dissuade tanks from killing ur stuff 4. laugh how at least 30% of their popcap is consumed by AT... while you counter em with basic infantry and artillery In: COH2 Balance

As a 2v2 Ost player, at most you get 1 panther each if the game drags on. You end up 2 panthers vs 2 Jacksons + 2 SU85 or 1FF + 1 Churchill, depending who you match up with. These double TD zone out panthers totally on vet. Panthers are expensively useless late games because allies have no reason build med tanks. if the opponent built 2 SU-85s then youve won the game.... they sunk all their fuel and popcap on AT and barely have AI to counter you... build a Pwerfer an AT gun and a couple of infantry squads and youre set...
