Hmmm. I guess it's a 50-50 between some guy who insists that everything USF is woefully underpowered and statistics mined from tens of thousands of games which generally corroborate top players' sentiments.

What does that graph even mean? What are the numbers at the bottom supposed to indicate. |
well they were not wrong, the mini tournament for nogano vs von was coin toss of who chose USF first as it has gone 5-0 for usf , gonna ask for Von rigged coin to always win heads or tails i too want my free bucks
Oh give me a break USF is better but is still inferior to both Axis factions. There are no get out jail free cards with USF if you screw up just once you're done. There are no guaranteed King King Tigers, no guaranteed elite infantry to replace your dead sqauds with. |
What is wrong with reverting Fallschrimjagers back to the way they were pre-patch and just reducing their cost to 340 MP? |
Well well, look who it is CoDguy, making another troll thread that nobody (in the balance team) cares about.
Well first that is an incendiary statement. Second it's obvious the balance team doesn't care what I say and it's not like I ever really expected them to in the first place. Besides even if they did there wouldn't be another patch coming out for another 4 months so nothing major will be getting tweaked for a while.
I am still of the belief that the majority of this community prefers Axis (OKW in particular) and the Axis factions unfortunately are limited to just 2 vs 3 for the Allies so the balance team I'm sure has to take that into consideration when making changes. |
Most USF tanks get penned frontally by a panther no problem. Why is it an issue when a end game tank destroyer can effectively engage and kill axis tanks? Even then, good micro is required in the USF side when fighting even higher armored tanks like Tiger II. If Jackson needs to be toned down, so too does axis armor. Both have seen power creep to this point. Normally I like your balance suggestions but Jackson being doctrinal and making USF have to use m10s to fight axis armor is laughable man.
LOL right? They want USF to fight OKW and OST with M10s while the latter two factions continue to get nondoc Panthers, King Tigers, Brumbars. LOL Wehraboo much? LOL the answer to the E8 problem is just improve it's anti-infantry abilities a little bit where it falls between a Sherman with AP and HE rounds. Or give it WP shells as an alternate ammunition type which would me more fun to play with. |
Ok, you and vipper seem really pasionate about jackson and both of you would do better job at balancing coh2 than current amateur team im sure. Why wont you go and make thread about jackson and how it should be nerfed more?
No, killing off jackson wont make easy8 or 76mm any more viable, it will just push usf back to garbage faction status.
Well that's what the Wehraboo community here wants. They think they should be able to just roll out "muh Krupp Steel" and just run roughshod over everyone with their nondoc Tigers and Panthers because that's "historically accurate" to them and the Jackson gets in the way of that fantasy. |
Sorry for what is about to be a “long winded history essay”, but I feel inclined to correct this.
The Volkssturm was the German militia and consisted of the stereotypical young boys and old men. These are not in the game.
The term Volksgrenadier came about in late 1944 and continued to be used throughout the rest of the war as a term for the new German infantry units. These Volksgrenadier Battalions were a reorganization of Grenadier Battalions. Not all Grenadier Battalions got reorganized though.
There were numerous organizational changes from 1939-1945 that included renaming units from Infantrie Battalions, to Grenadier Battalions to Volksgrenadier Battalions. Most of the early changes were in name only, but the significant changes from Grenadier to Volksgrenadier Battalion included removing horses and adding bicycles where possible to recon units and reorganizing the composition of the infantry companies in the battalion. These new companies had one regular platoon and two “Machine Pistol” platoons. The Machine Pistol platoons each had one regular squad with an LMG42 but the other two squads had more men, no LMG and were supposed to all be armed with machine pistols. The MP40 or StG44 we’re both considered machine pistols for this purpose but not enough were available so the actual composition looked a lot like what we see in game with a mix of StG44s and Kar98ks in the hands of Volksgrenadiers.

Thank you for that. Losts of people confuse Volksgrenadiers with Volksstrums. The former were usually experienced and well equipped units, the latter were basically just a militia of random civilians. |
All at guns have deathloop, so I don't see why pak40 needs special treatment for having it.
Well it's an Axis unit, they always deserve special treatment. |
The Easy Eight is fine. It’s got good armor, good penetration, good health and a good top MG. It’s a jack of all trades unit that’s better than most too.
It scales really well when used in groups too. It’s not as good at AT compared to a Jackson, and not as good at AI as a 75mm Sherman on HE rounds, but two Easy Eights are better than one Sherman and one Jackson at both AI and AT when used together.
If there is one thing I've learned its that this game doesn't do "jack of all trades" units very well at all. The best "jack of all trades" unit is probably the regular Sherman. So, two Easy 8s cost 760 MP and 280 fuel, that's a lot, that's a friggen King Tiger. This is not really a spamable /blobbable vehicle, it's expensive. So needing more than one to be effective points to it's poor design. The Panzer IV is a better example of a good all around unit. It's deadly against infantry and pretty good against most vehiclea (also seems to come out REALLY fast). |
I am not sure what the point of the Easy 8 is exactly. But lately it just doesn't do anything well. It's absolutely terrible against infantry sqauds and it's decent against vehicles but not nearly as good as a Jackson and it costs almost as much so why even build the thing? It should have HE shells or something like WP shells. |
