I think that there are simply too many stats that affect the outcome to actually be able to stat-check it. Received accuracy, aim time, accuracy, reloads, cooldowns to name just a few and there might be a dozen others. My personal experience is that models drop much more quickly on those 4 men squads and dps changes a lot then while at the same time larger squads often lose a lot of health before the first model drops so their dps goes down later in the firefight (yet another factor to include).

Most of these factors should already be calculated into the DPS chart. If Penals win then this shows how unreliable the pure DPS values are for actual combat and that other factors are much more important. Or technically the DPS calculation could be wrong as well, I am not sure if anybody has truly fact checked those graphs. Also it is still unclear if those 0,125 second delays that exist for vehicles also apply to infantry which they likely do. The last man ability that was mentioned can also be an important factor, although at this point Penals already start losing their rifles and DPS while Obers retain their MGs.

I honestly just assumed that the ~2x damage of the MG (depending on range obviously) will likely trump the RNG, but apparently this is not the case.

Penal PTRS has an accuracy of 0.15/0.105/0.06 now if you multiply it by 1.3x.1.3x1.25 it actually goes up to 0.32/0.22/0.13 without even taking into account "to the last man".

Given that they do around 20 damage per shot their DPS is simply not negligible.

Accuracy is not the only thing that matters. PTRS have an atrocious time between shots compared to small arms. At least their DPS is usually about 1/10 of the SVT DPS, so those two guys add about 1/5 of a model, at least normalized to infinite samples. The high damage makes them an RNG cannon vs infantry.
But as I said above, those stats might actually not mean as much as we have thought.

Go ahead Hannibal. LOCK ALL MY THREADS AND BAN ME FROM COH2 MULTIPLAYER BECUASE YOU ARE JUST AS TOXIC AS A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY! WHAT NEXT? ME THREATENING THE COMMUNITY AT GUNPOINT?

Or, you know, just follow the site rules like 99% of this forum's members somehow manage to do. Funnily enough I did not have anything to do with the most recent locks/invises because you were necroing and defaming.

Although this post is usually a clear invis, I'll leave it up for the rest of the community to make up their minds. As well as this thread

That you just edited today to insult even further.

Yeah it does that a lot heh. Suffering from success.

I was testing it a bit because someone asked for it in another thread, and the maxim actually seemed to pin squads a lot faster than the vickers. Didn't really pay attention to how long it took to suppress though.

I don't know about the pinning time, that might be. But I also find the time to suppression (yellow) way more useful. If they are already suppressed they are not a huge threat anymore anyway, pinning is secondary. And in that regard the Vickers is not hugely worse even compared to the MG42 (Sanders once had hard numbers on that, can't remember/find them at the moment though).

question then why don't OKW and Brit get t0 indirect arty????

Basically what other people said. I'd add though that Brits have the WASP if needed and get a quick T1 base arty as well.
OKW on the other hand does only face early MGs when playing against Brits. SOV and USF need some time to tech if the even chose that tech path (also the Maxim is real shite at suppression, I've had it more than once that Volks crawl across open field to throw a incendiary into my building), so at least against those factions an early mortar is not a must have.

In dawn of war 2 (maybe it is just the elite mod), income from points increases over time. I was curious if you could do this for Company of Heroes 2 and you can. This could add a bit more strategic depth in the game. Decapturing a point would cause more fuel and munitions income damage rather than an inconvenience. It would also reset all cut off sectors causing even more damage and give even more of a focus to focus cut off points and cause new abilities to more 'damage' such as Encirclement's Break Supply Line.

I condemn this witchery and demand Ægion must be burned at the stake!


(very nice job though)
