With this he'll sacrifice firepower and capping power. Sturms at close range will deal with it pretty quickly if you can get them there. Actually even at range they kick it's ass. Since they sacrifice capping power, use it to cap yourself and make bigger groups of units to counter it's low firepower and make it run away. in short: -bigger groups of units (like 2 volks or 2 gren) -cap cap cap while he can't -Sturms win if it carries no one -Fausts It's also great to flank MGs so be carefull if you plan on spaming MGs against it with no support. Worthless advice is worthless. im not playing on your level. where i come from they support their dodge and go straight for the cutoff points. you cannot cap as your volks are fighting the rifles and dodge. and they will lose 99& of the time because this combination is to much for any early game volks+pio's safe for cowering into buildings and losing map control. And 2 pio only work if he is not supporting the dodge. Making wc51 1cp will kill mechanized doc. No it will make it balanced. and its far from a bad doctrine. its arty is absolutely brutal vs the okw In: COH2 Balance
Thread: That Dodge8 Aug 2014, 19:45 PM Now the mechanized commander is out for this week and have plenty of time to play against it its easy to access that the early game dodge is just op as fuck and far worse then the m3 ever was. the dodge is technically weaker then the m3 but combine this with the most powerful early game infantry and you get yourself one very op package. both the okw and the ost need more time to prepare and establish territory before this abomination comes out so i suggest it needs at least one cp. In my opinion any unit that has the dps of the german 222 with transport and can act like a mobile firing platform should cost at least 30 fuel but thats just me. right now increasing the cp so that at least a shrek can come out or enough ammo can be obtained for fausts.

Thread: Suggestion: Attach Call-ins to Buildings/Tier again.7 Aug 2014, 06:29 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2014, 02:58 AMCabreza Limiting infantry call-ins to specific buildings would be unnecessarily harmful to the soviets. They aren't designed to build both T1 and T2 so any doctrine with guards rifle or shocks is meant to provide call-ins that can substitute for the tech tier that wasn't built instead of supplement it. i agree soviets commanders are very dependant on their infantry call ins.

Thread: WC51 new 'M3' spam7 Aug 2014, 06:25 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Aug 2014, 00:39 AMShadowTreasurer This isn't as bad as m3 flamers which can flank and wipe all raktens, mgs and retreating units. No its much worse. The dodge comes from a faction that already has the strongest infantry in the game and their early game becomes hideous powerful on some maps with the addition of the dodge. On some maps you will lose map control because of this unit. against the m3 you can prepare as you can concentrate enough infantry to drive it of and before they have 60 ammo for a FT you are well on your way to the first shrek. This unit needs to be quickly be put at cp 1 or even 2 cp as i believe early game vehicles have no place in coh 2 as they are impossible to balance. And werfer is not an option ,as somebody explained if you take it your down one squad in the early game against the faction with most powerful early game. Anybody defending this is nuts, In: Lobby

Thread: Suggestion: Attach Call-ins to Buildings/Tier again.6 Aug 2014, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 19:56 PMMr. Someguy Actually the Easy Eight can replace the Jackson to an extent. Its 175 Penetration is the highest of any Medium Tank, compared to the M36's 200. It doesn't have the range or damage, but it makes up for that with superior health and armour. The armour is especially of note, being the highest on any Medium Tank excluding a Vet 2 Panzer IV Ausf. G (215 vs 234). Not to mention that the jackson is a risk. it has no AI at all. the e8 does. its basically 2/3 the power of an AT tank and 2/3 of an AI tank. The result is that both the e8 and the 85 are beyonf stupidly cost effective. both need their price increased to 160 fuel. In: COH2 Balance

I don't want anyone other then you to know it. Irrelevant, 2vs 2 payers do not understand the economics and unit roster balance in 1 vs 1 as any such problem will have 2v2 will be solved by your partner. Call in units give a commander a rather tremendous economic advantage compared to those that dont have a call in. buts thats something you dont understand. that the -8 and 85 are over performing for cost will likely be addressed sooner rather then later In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Suggestion: Attach Call-ins to Buildings/Tier again.6 Aug 2014, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 14:22 PMKatitof It greatly limited possible BOs and therefore led to a stale, boring, predictable meta. That is the design of some doctrines. And you can't see the real problems, which are: 1)Doctrinal units are just raw upgrades over stock ones 2)Costs often prohibit using normal tier armor with conjunction and lack of doctrinal unit hard caps, encouraging spam(mainly for super heavies but this doesn't exclude medium armor) 3)Average at best cost effectiveness and performance of stock units, especially for soviet side as OKW and USF doesn't have this problem. Something that fixes actual problems, not a half arsed solution that doesn't make sense. What you think is not relevant as you are a 2vs2 player and this is mostly a 1 vs 1 issue not to mention that i smell of bias soviet would be the most affected by it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Suggestion: Attach Call-ins to Buildings/Tier again.6 Aug 2014, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 12:10 PMICoH No your proposal would remove call-in units as we know them and make them tiered units with or without build times. Havint the option not to tech and invest the ressources you save by doing so in more units should be a viable strategy but also have distinct drawbacks. But it should not be a viable strategy. this shit is slowly killing the game as every doctrine in a 1 vs 1 situation is dependent if its good based on its call ins. Rifle company is not really such big deal except the e8. if it was not for the e8 the other commanders would be way better. Basically people skip tech 3 and 4 use call ins and both sides expect it. its becoming such a routine to play this game In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration grenades working as intended?4 Aug 2014, 19:28 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Aug 2014, 16:23 PMArclyte At the northern VP in ettelbruck station there are 3 medium-sized apartments, I had a garrisoned 6 man maxim team brought down to 1 man with maybe 5% hp left, and he died right after the barrage to small arms fire from one volks squad. 10 munitions was too little even before the munition revamp of OKW. It might as well not even have a cost to it now. Just another example of widespread bias on this board. If an allied commander was throwing hand-held carpet bombs, people would be up in arms. So far the only allied units that haven't been dubbed "overperforming" (annoying buzzword you people keep using) are dogshit units like conscripts, M-20 and the SU-76. Their is no excuse of losing a maxim squad to grenades since it has the shortest packup time. like many soviet players you simply expect that the maxim can soak the damage and got a nasty surprise. to be honest i would be suprised if relic is not going to change the maxim from 6 man to 4 man to reduce the viability of maxim spam.
