The entire forum, except maybe Katitof (even he has his limits) is sick and tired of you.
That isn't my problem.
So anyway, I know the LEIG is not quite as good as the Pack Howitzer but it's pretty close, cheaper and spamable. |
Literally complain that a set and forget, cheap 360 degree Supression/ai/light AT building that shoots down planes and can barrage targets, tank an entire sturmtiger rocket and still fight but can ALSO reduce incoming damage by 75%for a duration is too trash while saying other faction has fancy toys at low prices....
Do literally anything at all to support your bofors and it does work. It's an emplacement, it fortifies an area. It has to have a fucking counter. That counter is an immobile indirect unit plinking away.... Attack it! Counter attack, PUSH. this game isn't SUPPOSED to be tower defense. Don't whine when the enemy doesn't let you sit there and dig in to your hearts content. Even the fucking bots will take measures to counter you when you dig in for Christ's sake. The days of building sim city then making a meal until you have enough fuel to spam tanks is over. Emplacements are entirely optional PART of your army that are situational.
You can use a bofors to ensure your enemy needs to attack a flank with force to get through
You can't just plop it on the front and expect it to hold back the enemy like Rambo or something.
You can rush the Bofors and burn it down with Volksgrens now, it's not hard, hell even before you could just shoot it with AT guns or Raketenwerfers. I rarely even built it before but now rarely is going to be never. It could at least be good at shooting down planes but it can't even do that (never could really). |
Serious question I have here: Fallschrimjagers are only one of two effective elite infantry units that are available before CP3, the other are Soviet Shock Troops...are there any elite infantry call-ins like that? Now I know people are now complaining about Fallschrimjagers but what about Shocks? Anyone ever suggeste they be a CP3 unit instead of 2? I wouldn't count Panzerfuzilers, Cavalry Riflemen, Assault Engineers or JLI as elite units BTW. |
For a bofor replacement, i will go with the valentine, rework it in to a slow AI tank, 550-600 HP, 4.8-5 speed, 80dmg main gun, improve aoe and MG, somke pot. So that, in T2, UKF have choice between fast AT and slow AI specialist.
In the other hand, post patch bofor doesn't bad, with reliable suppression, it still be a good area control station.
I prefer built it further behind the line now. For many situations, I use the bofor for to hold cut off or a coupled of control points that latter i will put cache, in early - mid game, it also act as a last ditch backup in case of my front line got overrun, it also protect the rear from infiltration units like fall or stomtrooop, all while provide some short of AA. And yeah, The only thing need improve is AA, if AA performance of bofor can be just more reliable, it will be very nice.
Seems like a lot of resouses to spend on an emergency rear guard unit that's immobile and you will likely never use. With something like a USF fighting position or OST MG bunker you are paying a relatively small about of resources and zero pop and getting a much better emergency rear guard unit. I think UKF should be able to build their base MG bunkers now as a Bofors replacement. |
Since the Bofors delete I'm not sure this unit's past buffs serve a purpose anymore. Damage and scatter should be brought down to a more sane level. I know the baby faction likes to have the fancy toys at discount prices but the whole point of the LEIG buffs was to deal with emplacements, the Bofors in particular. |
Maybe bundle UKF T2 upgrade together……after upgrade allowed build Bofors and AEC
I wouldn't build a Bofors if it were free at this point so that's not really going to do anything. If they want the Bofors gone they should just replace it with something else. |
I like how many of the people saying that falls are fine are known to have axis bias or have axis dp's... or both
These people run the balance. |
UKF should get something to replace the Bofors with since their now down a unit/structure and I'm just wondering what they could do for a new stock unit/structure/ability.
1) They could get the M5 halftrack and remove it from the new commander
2) They could get an M3 halftrack
3) They could make the Valentine stock
4) The could have buildable MG bunkers like they have in their base |
FG42s are automtic rifles, like the BAR. Actually theyre one of the most advanced weapons of WW2, and had virtually no recoil despite firing the powerful 7.92x57mm cartridge even in fully automatic from the standing posture. An inline stock and quality muzzle brake help with this.
The internals of the gun would go on toninlfuence the M16 and the M60 post-war. It was way ahead of its time for WW2, but very few were made and issued, and of course only to Fallschirmjager units.
Whats wierd is CoH lets you get 4 per squad, but CoH is worse for realism than that in many more ways.
The FG42 was an awesome weapon, way ahead of it's time. It was much better than a BAR being much lighter and more controllable. It makes perfect sense for Fallschrimjagers to be able to fire on the move, in fact it would be dumb not to have it that way.
Are Fallschrimjagers they OP right? Maybe, I haven't faced them yet but I did use them to stomp a USF player the other day. I only built Strums and Kubels until they make available them called in 3 units. |
All they needed to do was lower the Fallschrimjagers price from 380 MP to 340. That's it. There was no need to change their arrival to 2 CPs or do this wierd weapon upgrade change. |
