Thread: Ostheer HMG too strong now27 Jun 2015, 23:26 PM The ISG is really too expensive, as well as the pack howitzer. the 81mm mortar manage to be more effective while costing 1/2 as much. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US need more now.27 Jun 2015, 21:40 PM the m8a1 isn't enough because its autofire only have 60 range, and the its 3 shell barrage takes 60 seconds to reload. It's an excellent mobile artillery for killing mobile blob, but its short range and weak barrage make it ill suited for busting down fortified position. the pack howizter supporsed to be USF's counter to a camping wehr, but it's just too crap for the job. the .50cal is decent, but still vulnerable to the usual mg counter. It can handle the mg42 but it is not a hard counter. mg42 vs .50cal mostly come down to get the first shot in. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US need more now.27 Jun 2015, 07:45 AM buff pak howitzer. the USF probably have the weakest artillery in game without the inf doc. make the bar (and zooka) cheaper. The rifleman need the extra firepower. on a 1v1 map, the USF can still reliably flank, dance around, and manhandle the grenadiers and mg42. It's just mid-early game when the rifleman alone just doesn't cut it anymore. the USF need decent artillery and the bar needs to be cheaper. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet DSKH is too strong now27 Jun 2015, 07:42 AM the dskh is the most expensive mg in game, and still vulnerable to the usual counter. If he's in the open you can sneak up a mg42 on it. Once the dskh is suppressed it's as weak as any mg. Or just build a mortar. the 81mm is probably the best mortar in the game and cheaper than the dskh. In: COH2 Balance

Zooks was kind of a luxary item but necessary for axis light vehicle spam, but nades I almost always bought you need them to take out infantry garrisoned in buildings and support weapons and now more than ever. This has been the same for a long time now rifles don't beat grens heads up anyway I dunno who is the one with that idea to begin with cause they just don't and are majorly out classed even with bars compared to grens with 42s. Gren blobs with 42s beat para troopers. Also they frequently wipe retreating 1 or 2 models and riflemen almost never wipe a 1 model gren retreat which is kinda BS. Right now USF is being put into a huge man power hurt, and extreme reliance on munitions and we are not getting enough to be able to deal with multiple threats at all. Also our tech cost for these things and being forced to make m20 or flak trucks almost every game is imo delaying the sherman for way too long. Also why the F can strums dps down a emplacement that is broken as hell and makes no sense assualt engineers can't do that to bunkers. USF needs a mortar bad and not a shit one an incredibly accurate one like OST has. people rarely buy bar, they either go para or m1919a6. In a 1v1 it's also possible to lock out the wehr fast enough without needing the bar or bazooka. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: m1919 rifles are overperforming 26 Jun 2015, 06:17 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2015, 19:29 PMAlexzandvar No they don't. Green cover reduces incoming damage so unless you rifle squad is already almost dead it will take 40% reduced damage and not be wiped. Also if you miss the most obvious grenade tell in the game along with it's travel time then welp I don't really know what to say. The abusive thing about defensive stance is that it has no draw backs because you can reposition almost instantly. cover is directional. If the grenade land behind the sandbag and in the middle of your squad it's going to hurt. In: COH2 Balance

Firearm technology didn't advance that quickly. The .50cal and mg42 are still being used in modern day armies, and I dare you to say they are bad. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: US need more now.26 Jun 2015, 06:06 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2015, 23:41 PMOmega_Warrior I've been adapting and winning, but it really sucks to be so restricted to getting grenades. They are so necessary right now that they might as well just put them in the teching automatically. They are supposed to be versitile, now they are forced into an even more restrictive early game. the USF have grenade, bar, and bazooka upgrade, and last patch the USF player rarely need any of them. This was precisely the problem. Granted, part of the reason is the bazooka and bar are over priced, but USF can usually ignore the upgrades and just cruise straight to Sherman. The USF should really be forced to buy some type of upgrade to keep up with the wehr. Especially since the wehr are pretty dependent on their hmg42 and lmg42. The wehr delay the sherman by forcing the USF to buy the bars or grenade. This allow the wehr to buy the stug/pziv around the same time as the jackson/sherman, not after. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Dedicated "TD" need 60 Range as Others25 Jun 2015, 09:58 AM the ost pak is still the best atg in the game. you shouldn't expect the stug to be your only at solution. Against jackson and su-85 you need to be using pak as well as panther and stug. In: COH2 Balance
