So which German squads are supposed to excel in close quarters? Nerfed Pios? Nerfed AGs that are insane to reinforce and drop like flies?
Assgren reinforce bug aside, assgrens and pios are both still quite potent when you make sure to get them very close without taking damage and hitting the "stop" key at the appropriate range to get that dps going.
There have been many changes to this game, but none more stupid than this. The AOE profile that basically buffs any AOE literally means that any encounter, on any range vs. a tank with infantry = if the tank can hit, you will die.
Now if your opponent is able to get a tank leverage on you, you will loose units and probably a lot. the ability to take out a tanks with infantry is next to none, Pgrens will die, Guards will die, Conscripts will die, Grens will die. It's not uncommon to instantly loose 2-3 infantry models on the first sight of a tank on any range, making it impossible to react to. Your only chance of surviving it, if the tank misses, you can't out range it.
Congrats to you Mr. Qumsieh you finally did it.
Welcome to the community with this bullshit first post MVGame.
Both of these doctrines look great! Specifically for 1v1 due to the lower cp requirements for the call-ins. I hope the M5 can be upgraded with a quad like a normal one.
Only been playing CoH2 for coming on two weeks but I think the patch looks like a step in the right direction.
The amount of whiners amazes me in this community. Before we even see these changes ingame people are complaining about everything. Something changed by .01? Dear God, it's going to be OP. Let's all boycott the game now since we hate Relic for ruining our streak while using our easy button.
I could understand if these were people that played thousands of games at high level play because you get it drilled into you.
The patch is huge but it looks like they haven't slaughtered any units and anything that was significantly changed was something that any unbiased player would have hoped for. We just won't know the full extent till tomorrow.
I play a lot of Magic: the Gathering and the fanbase is equally if not more insane. This is a paradox of having "intelligent" players. We are highly critical and have attention to the smallest details but it's rarely tempered by a sense of self-control or tact due to "teh internetz."
