Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP24 Dec 2013, 21:04 PM I still disagree that shocks at 1cp is a problem. Guards are 1cp is a bit too early though. Snipers are the super hard counter to shocks. 40mp drain per pop, yes please. The German sniper fires MUCH faster than the soviet sniper, so it's a even harder counter than Rus sniper vs PGs. Shocks are very cost effective against non-upgraded grens, yes. But, once you have LMGs on all your grens, shocks completely lose their effectiveness. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP23 Dec 2013, 08:56 AM High level 1v1 Replays of Guards or Shocks being OP at 1cp anyone? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP18 Dec 2013, 23:47 PM I don't have a problem with guards and shocks being available earlier in the game. They are well balanced by their price, so it's all good. I would actually love to see more shocks being used because I hardly ever see them. The diversity would spice things up. In: COH2 Balance

Teach us how to counter early shocks I would if good players actually used shocks in 1v1. People don't use shocks because they are just sniper food. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Shocktroops at 1CP17 Dec 2013, 23:23 PM Wow I completely disagree with the OP. Shocks are horrible for their cost. I just hard-counter them with LMG grens and a sniper. I always laugh when I see shocks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Patch Notes Discussion (Dec. 10th)13 Dec 2013, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2013, 15:41 PMNullist As I already outlined, PPSH Cons, for 10 Muni, now operate as: -2x the moving DPS of moving vanilla Cons. -same DPS when moving as a stationary vanilla Con. -60% more dmg when stationary than a stationary vanilla Con. Are you sure you did the calculations correctly? PPSH have a max range of 30, which is lower than the rifle range. This means their dps tapers off with distance at a different rate than the rifles and should be calculated as such. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadier potential: Fighting fire with fire13 Dec 2013, 22:33 PM You can give soviet support crew a larger small arms received damage penalty. It's at 25% now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T-34-76 after patch13 Dec 2013, 22:29 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2013, 15:17 PMImagelessbean I agree that this change is good. It continues to encourage infantry use in the game. COH2 has struggled with infantry use from its start, as tanks were generally far more attractive. Agree In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadier potential: Fighting fire with fire13 Dec 2013, 07:36 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Dec 2013, 04:09 AMspajn Everything can be tweaked and vcoh had 3 man support squads with mortars, snipers and stormtroopers who could cloak anywhere and bundlenade and it worked perfectly. No i have never played soviets but every replay i watch soviet are never dry onn munitions and seems to not have to sacrifice anything special to spam the map full of mines... something ostheer could never do.. well atleast say goodbye to LMG and flamerHT.. you know tradeoffs.. as it should be. When I play soviets, I almost never float over 100 munitions. I also don't use any commanders with artillery call ins. I VERY RARELY even use Horrrah, because it's too expensive now. Almost all of my munitions go towards mines, molotovs, and guard rifle lmgs, and nades. Soviets are almost as munitions hungry as ostheer, IMO. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Grenadier potential: Fighting fire with fire13 Dec 2013, 00:21 AM Maxims are not OP because they come from an expensive T2 building that's usually not built in the beginning of the game due to that cost. They are also very vulnerable to rifle nades. German MGs have low effective HP, but are available very early in the game. Increasing their effective HP would ruin the risk vs reward of flanking which is a gameplay dynamic that most people prefer (in vCOH, a flanked mg must instantly retreat or will die in mere seconds). An increase of armor from 1.0 to 1.5 will also make molotovs a required upgrade instead of a situational upgrade as it is now. German mortars have higher damage output, which offsets their low effective HP. I don't think any of the set up weapons need any major rebalancing. They are decently balanced as is. Small adjustments can be made at a later point with more statistics data. In: COH2 Balance
