Thread: Fallschirmjäger is very OP!24 Sep 2019, 02:47 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 16:42 PMLoren Well, anyway, Fallschirmjagers and Valiant Assault can be more OP combinations. Most of the time, a combination of the two can easily break the balance. There was no reason to do anything to Fallschrimjagers other than lower their cost. I've seen some rather poor arguments like "but but Obersoldaten were still better!" - to this I say SO WHAT? Fallschrimjagers still had a number of unique abilities over Obersoldaten that they would have been fine with nothing more than a lower cost. 1) They could cloak, Obers could not 2) They didn't require weapon upgrades, Obers did 3) They could parachute anywhere onto the battlefield, Obers could not 4) They were a very good offensive flanking and CQC unit with good moving accuracy, Obers were not, Obers were better behind cover at long range as a defensive unit 5) They had an AT snare, Obers did not 6) They were a call in, Obers were not There was no reason to try to make them "as good" or "as viable" as Obers. They were good enough they just needed a cost reduction since units like Obers and Rangers were reduced in price. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallschirmjäger is very OP!24 Sep 2019, 01:19 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2019, 13:27 PMblvckdream I think USF benefits a lot from heavy tanks being locked behind tech. Luchs-Puma-Command Panther and T70 into IS2 were the best strarts in 1v1 and 2v2. Yes you could do something similar with USF LVs into Pershing but none of the USF LVs are as suited as T70 and Puma for this job. Riflemen buff was completely uncalled for because Riflemen were already good in previous patch. It was just OKW early game that needed fixing. Now OKW early game got weakened and Riflemen buffed. Just not a good combination when USF was always good vs Wehrmacht. Please, Riflemen were complete garbage (and they still kind of are). You have to spend 150 MP/15 fuel and 120 munitions just to stay ahead of Volksgrenadiers. Anyone who says Riflemen were good never played USF. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50 cal - Why is it so good? 23 Sep 2019, 22:56 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 22:34 PMT.R. Stormjäger Soviets are built on crutching on Shocks, T70 and IS2, then throwing men to the meat grinder until you win. Conscripts could have been the core of the soviet army as Strelki (riflemen) squads, but Relic’s design was insulting. At least the community team is working towards improving things, but the Soviet army needs a revamp desperately. I'm far from an expert on the Soviets but I've always had pretty good luck with their Penals into Scout Car then Shocks build. The only problem I've run into with Soviets is their later armor is pretty terrible unless you go with some doctrinal vehicles. USF and UKF have much better late game armor. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50 cal - Why is it so good? 23 Sep 2019, 16:16 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2019, 01:11 AMdistrofio .50 cal is not a core unit for USF. Maybe that simple fact will solve all your argumentation. Your unfair comparisons to axis HMGs is just that, unfair biased argumentation, if OST get modular 5 man infantry and strong LV and a fantastic late game TD then after that, and only after that, make .50 cal comparable to HMG42 The .50 cal doesn't have to be comperable to the MG42 but there is no reason why it should cost 20 more MP and 1 more pop over the MG42. I mean why are we paying more for an inferior unit? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallschirmjäger is very OP!23 Sep 2019, 00:47 AM One of the problems with balance people have is the perception that Allies are supposed to have better infantry when they don't because Axis units keep getting buffs combined with cost reductions or they retain their already low cost. While Allied units just get nerfs and no compensation on cost. When was the last time they actually reduced the price of an Allied unit? They did Rangers taking them from 400 to 350 so I'll give them that but they didn't get any buffs. Falls, Grens, Obers get these buffs COMBINED with cost reductions and they wonder why people complain about balance problems after the fact. You Fallschrimjagers to be awesome like they are? Okay, 400 MP and 80 munitions for them then. Don't do this crap where you make them better AND cut their cost AND make them arrive earlier. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 50 cal - Why is it so good? 23 Sep 2019, 00:31 AM The .50 cal is not the best MG, I don't even think it's the second best. It cannot hold down a point on its own it constantly has to be babysat along with most every other unit USF has. I'd even go so far as to say it's worse than the MG34 with its poor arch of fire. Not a very good defensive unit at all. It's AP ability is pretty inconsequential since anti-vehicle is not a role any MGs are well suited for and besides that doesn't approach the AP rounds of the MG42 so it's not even the best at that either.

Thread: Grens need a tone down23 Sep 2019, 00:27 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2019, 07:40 AMA table Grens are possibly in one of the best places regarding balance. I genuinely don't see how they are broken or even underpowered against allied infantry. Yes they are the in the best place if all you play is Wehrmacht. Fallschrimjagers are in the best place if all you play is OKW. The point is the devs just don't seem to know how to balance Axis infantry. I mean I don't know why people think you can have a situation where you have cheaper infantry that outpreform more expensive infantry. For example, just try having 3 or 4 Grenadier sqauds together and they will kill about any number of USF sqauds and if you have 3 that's only 720 MP and 180 munitions...thats peanuts as far as resources go. There is no point for allied infantry units to be more expensive if you're just going to make Axis infantry as good or better. It's the dumbest aspect I've seen on balance. In: COH2 Balance
