MGs shouldn't just suppress blobs, they should rip them to shreads. Some way of allowing that without having MGs melt individual squads would be really awesome

Not just HMGs, Incremental Accuracy (on the weapon) or a Received Accuracy penalty (on the blobbed squads) would also allow all normal weapons to deal additional damage, to simulate that missed shots would still hit other squads in close proximity. This would help make fighting blobs a bit easier as it would help equalize the pure volume of fire advantage blobs have.

Or most ideally, a CoH3 would be based on a new engine that supports advanced ballistics, that can simulate all small arms bullets so that misses by Rifles/SMGs/ARs/LMGs/HMGs can hit other models in close proximity.

Whilt BG HQ isn't exactly meta, getting it and the upgrade doesn't provides you medics exclusively, contrary to other healing sources.

But the upgrade isn't mobile (Infantry Sections, Ambulance) nor does it have an easy aura (Ambulance), but it also can't get killed easily (Ambulance again) nor is it clumsy to use (Infantry Sections). Meanwhile Ostheer has to pay vital munitions and manpower that they really need for upgrades, abilities and units in their early-mid game.

Point being, all forms of healing in the game have their own upsides and downsides, and therefore it isn't really fair to compare them to each other. I think they should only be judged within their own faction's economy and ecosystem, and I think Soviet healing (mechanic and cost) within their own faction is fine (not great, not terrible).

Punishing bad play is a no no. Blobs are the way the game is SUPPOSED to be played and this is backed up by just about every design and balance decision in the last long while

You're completely ignoring the core problem here, which is that every weapon that is great versus blobs is also going to be (too) great versus a single unit. Demos were nerfed not because of their effectiveness versus blubs, but because they were a cancer to single units, getting wiped all over the map. Same goes for the Sturmtiger, AVRE, etc.

It simply isn't possible to give a weapon high destructible power to punish blobs without also making them overpowered against single units.


The only thing (imo) that could be done to decrease the effectiveness of blobs is either giving units a Received Accuracy penalty based on how many squads are in close proximity, or to enlarge the effects of Incremental Accuracy on the weapon, so they become noticeably more effective the more squads there are in their firing cone. Only with smart mechanics like this, weapons can be made effective against a blob without making them too powerful in single unit engagements.

But that's something for a CoH3, because CoH2 is too far gone at this point (as in, no more major changes allowed by Relic), it would take a hell of a lot of trying and testing, and I'm not sure if the engine could even support it.

That's the point, if you want to secure a kill on a m20, build two 222.

You've lost me. Why should a 20 fuel light AI vehicle be able to survive two of its counters that cost three times the fuel? That's like saying the Ostwind is bad because it loses to three T-34-76s.

If the enemy invests 60 fuel into light AT vehicles, they better damn well be able to secure a kill on a 20 fuel vehicle. That's the point of the investment.

I'm sorry but I have yet to see a m20 surviving two 222

Why should it be able to survive two units that in total are worth tripple the fuel cost? Not that it even could before? Why should it even be able to survive overextending against a single 222 (its hardcounter)?

It has 45 range, 50 sight range. There's never a need to overextend except when being greedy, which is always a risk, with any unit.
