Thread: Has anyone noticed Grenadiers are really good?17 Apr 2022, 17:41 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Apr 2022, 17:19 PMKoRneY Not passive aggressive. Just straight up aggressive. Unless you thought I was pretending to hide it? Playercard. What's yours? Wait. Don't care. Grens get a free snare out of the gate because they have to deal with clowncars and brens. This is basic shit. Don’t VGren have to deal with the same thing yet get their snares much later. Also wasn’t originally because Grens were built from base and T1 was needed for MG? So locking snare to T1 used to mean something. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)13 Apr 2022, 15:02 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2022, 13:37 PMVipper The idea that USF need a long range infatry from start to beat Ostheer is flawed and it would creates more issues that it would solve. Soviet do not have such an infatry and they do just fine. Sorry on phone don’t mean to make 2 posts. It is unfair to compare USF to Soviets. Soviets only do fine using conscripts in high end games. You will be on your way to your 4th conscript squad by the time you are building or finish making your 3rd rifleman. Using sheer numbers to overwhelm the MG along with the extremely cheap reinforce cost allows Soviet to do just fine. Making a 4th rifleman is suicide and due to tech timing it takes a bit of time for LT or CPT to hit the field allowing OST to get 4th Gren squad which gives them DPS superiority. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Pathfinder spam is too efficient (2v2)13 Apr 2022, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2022, 13:05 PMVipper 2 commander provide LMGs 2 commander provide Ranger 2 commander provide LMG Paras all suitable for long range fighting, that is 6 out of nine. You are leaving out a decent amount of relevant information. 1. LMG commanders provide only 1 LMG at CP3 to a short range focused squad vs a long range focused squad that is cheaper and upgrades earlier. 2. You are comparing a significantly more expensive unit with less utility and asking them to withhold their upgrade while also appearing at CP3 so they will have a vet disadvantage which would exasperate MP bleed. 3. Those 2 commander both provide Pathfinders which would provide the long distance fighting instead while not requiring muni to do so at CP0. For recon it is even worse in that you need to spend muni to call in the the Para on top of the 120 muni needed not to mention the opening cooldown is longer for IR pathfinders. Taking that into account you only have 1 option for long range combat that also helps with USF tech issues. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Got 2 PanzerW kills from 1 howi hit13 Apr 2022, 14:24 PM Bad start for me, Ost Pushed me hard and was able to force him to back off but lost early penal and scout car. He eventually got control due to my lack of presence. We tripled him and forced him to lose half his army while stealing mg. They were no worse for wear though due to being way ahead in gas. A series of mess ups let us back in the game. Guy on my side rushed us with brum, he ran over mine and lost to a ram. Later on he gets a panther and goes over the ice, never go over the ice. I am in control so help out other side but we are still losing despite being ahead in VP. Another series of unfortunate events happen to axis, tigers gets beat tried to retreat but didnt go far enough. Another panther tries to help, goes over ice, never go over ice. And then I get 2 werfers with arty shot for howi. Game is pretty much in our hands and we just start to overwhelm them. I litterally threw my tanks away pushing. We grind them out and win.

Thread: Long game looked like we were gonna have an easy win13 Apr 2022, 14:19 PM RNG favored me early to mid game. Almost had 2 to 1 KD as soviet until 30 min mark. USF and I were dominating our match ups, however other soviet had good map control but after watching the replay he had almost 1/4 KD so it was a matter of time before it caught up to us. At one point they decided to double other soviet but didnt notice I called in arty which managed to destroy brum. We tried to keep up pressure but around the 30 min mark they started to turn the game around and slowly called in 2 ELE. Their battle strategy was pretty much to keep them alive at all cost while zoning us out. I eventually got a push that destroyed 2 werfers/brum but lost all my tanks. USF ally stayed strong so they didnt really push him hard and I tried to lay mines to help him out. Other soviet made 2 KV8 over the course of the game with little to no reward. At one point he had no ramy so we kept getting flanked. After telling him to throw down mines we were able to catch tanks off guard and get some kills. Near the end I got so frustrated with other soviet I tried to get another push going but came up empty. PRetty much became a scramble for the mid when they were down to 10 points. Those points ;asted what felt like 10 mins if not more. In: Replays

Thread: OKW Mech repair speed31 Mar 2022, 12:53 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Mar 2022, 18:46 PMLady Xenarra There are reasons why no good OKW player gets more than one SP. Whether it be bleeding to death at far range (30MP reinforce for 0.87 size CQC models), four man squad having to go close range & losing a greater proportion of its firepower per model drop, or being generally poor against people in garrisons/behind heavy cover. Then midgame arrives and 2 SPs will usually lose to 2 LMG equipped squads, esp if they have a BAR each. And so on. They do most of what listed above and then a great deal more. Volks are frankly so abysmal that that a SP must fulfil the role of a mainline inf squad in every way. Flanking, stopping frontal assaults, dislodging dug in inf with grenade throws, zoning out CQC squads, taking early territory (GL with your volks and late MG otherwise), etc. I liken the job of a SP squad to be a 'firefighter' where they are needed to put out fires in several places at the same time. In any case, this stuff has been discussed to death by players far more experienced than myself. I think the main reason they aren't used more is their initial cost. At what 320MP for 4 man squad is a tough pill to swallow. But their starting target size is better that pretty much better than every other mainline unit along with concussive nade at VET1 and target size of .63 at VET2. If their starting price was lets say 280MP(same as AssEngi) VG would be pretty much made irrelevant aside from the need of a snare. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 3v3 held on with only 10 points left30 Mar 2022, 21:49 PM Opening was slightly strange. My teammates appeared to play together so they went to their side and kind of left me to fight for my side. No biggie I decide to make a sniper as I have been decent with them lately. However I notice teammate makes 2, then eventually a 3rd sniper. As a result we dont have great map control but they are bleeding the crap out of their side while I poke around here and there. They have an extremely turtleish style of play so most of mid map is left to me. I get KV1s out but they are more damage sponges then attackers so I wait for my chance while ally uses katy to arty the hell out of them. I also make B4 but it is pretty much useless for me most of the match. We eventually drop to about 120 point and it ain't looking good. These guys dont seem to want to push so got to do something. I send a PTRS penal to snare Brumbar that is protecting middle star, I get it but lose Penal squad in the process. It is go time and send both my KV1 to try and take it out. They rush their tanks to protect but ally call in Anti-tank Overwatch. I lose both KV1 but they lose all their tanks in the area. The KV1s didnt do much but their health allowed ATO to do as much damage as possible so good trade. They manage to get mid star back but Axis are now out of comfort zone and scrambling to rebuild tanks. Constant Katy barrages and ISU152 finally showing up starts to drain their MP while they stall for heavy tanks. We eventually get down to about 50points but at that point we have effectively put them on their back foot. All bad rng is paid back as P5 and P4 miss my SU85 or bounce(lol) while i get a couple kills, ISU152 gets some wipes and B4 finally wipes a couple squads. Eventually they get us down to 10 points but game is firmly in our hands and we have pretty much destroyed all their armies. GG In: Replays
Thread: 3v3 Thought it was a pretty good game24 Mar 2022, 20:48 PM From the start it felt like they were a team, they seemed to dig in and work together a decent bit. Team mate made halftrack which we used to contest middle but they seemed to be able to keep pressure up. At one point it was looking bleak and one wanted to surrender but we kept pushing. Eventually they got Pak43/JT but they seemed to have to much pop located to defensive play and we invested heavly in arty which allowed us to force them to react. Eventually we beat up the JT as it got stuck in a tank blob with KT an P4J and as it started to get away my heavy plane pass from Terror Tactics got the last bit of health and we got the kill. At that point we started to overwhelm there defenses and eventually caught KT out of position. The ost player was holding on but a few well placed RAMs followed by my allies Su85 and Zis got the kill. In: Replays
