Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.7 Jun 2014, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jun 2014, 17:11 PMPuppetmaster If Panzer Grens are so bad, why do lots of the popular streamers build them? 1 word : flexibility. The problem is that if you buy a pak before your opponent gets a tank out then you have a pak that is doing nothing. PG are still useful AI till the tanks start to roll out then they are converted as tank busters, In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.7 Jun 2014, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jun 2014, 15:32 PMwehrwolfzug Start up the game, use a 2 pio and 2 mg start into quick tier 2. Build only pg and officer for your blob. Try to cache ammo as the infantry doc relies heavily on ammo. Get rapid movement, pop officer ability and proceed to rape battle field with pg + flame pio + officer blob retreat any squads when they So in the current meta where m3's are the most powerful units in the early game you wish to start with a strat that gives no defence to it . also the fast teching is impossible. HT + PG is indeed a viable way for some decent support weapon kills but it is also extremely risky compared to much more reliable and more powerful gren lmg push + HT. So i really want to see a replay. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Worst balance ever . soviet domination7 Jun 2014, 15:07 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jun 2014, 13:05 PMarmatak This is so true. I find PzGens actually very useful, try put them in green cover and see what happens when any soviet forces try to close in on them. The effect is worse then running straight into an MG. I put a lmg squad in green cover and it wins from any soviet infantry at any range safe for shocks but as soon as critical mass in grens is achieved even that is no longer a problem. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet AT too map and commander call in dependant7 Jun 2014, 09:15 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2014, 17:40 PMTheMachine You just missed the entire point of my post. Soviet AT is too Commander dependant because of how map dependant they are. This is not at all the same for Germans, they have much a much wider range and more versatile AT on their base faction, as well as a better and less limiting tech structure. They just have their own separate issues. That is not something i consider a balance problem. it is simple fact that some commanders perform better on some maps. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lets talk Pgrens.7 Jun 2014, 09:11 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jun 2014, 01:27 AMwehrwolfzug You have to use them on the flanks of the enemy. The pg are best used at medium range. This is the ideal range for their assault rifles and bundle nade. Use them to flank at guns, support teams and tank hunting. Try to think of them as special forces or vanilla grenadiers with a different weapon load out for specific tactics. You can also put 2 squads in a half track and drive behind enemies to deploy and annihilate. There are several reasons why I believe they should not get an armor buff. 1. Doctorines - You can use pg blobs economically with the correct doctorines. For example, if you use the infantry doctorine you can use the rapid movement + officer + ostruppen reinforce to rape the battlefield and get manpower returns on the losses. - Also there are doctrines that give you pg/grenadiers in armoured transport. - There are doctrines with assault grenadiers. These are the infantry you use to assault close quarters not pg. 2. Panzer shreks - panzer shrek blobs with increased armor + doctrines will break the game. Throw in superior german armor to exponentialy deliver cheese. Play vcoh if you want to feel the power of airborne rr or pg shrek blobs. Spam at its finest... 3. Superior german armor - ost already has the best armor, core infantry and at infantry (pg). Now players want pg to get armor too? Summary You have to change the way you perceive pg. Yes it sucks that you can get squad wiped as an ost player when using pg. But as an ost player it's the armor that pushes your line forward not pg. The pg job is to flank the at guns and or kill tanks depending on their load out. They are very effective when working in conjunction with all elements of the ost army. Well an entire wall of nonsense. Even if you increase the armor of the pg's it will not lead shrek blobs like vcoh. That because any infantry unit in the open will drop faster then your girlfriends panties at my place. Shreks will always be support . either you use them as extra damage when tanks are dueling or you use them to cover the flanks of a pak. However we are not here to discuss the PG AT but its AI. and that should be on par with the grens and assgrens. which it clearly is not. you can say use them as flankers but i guarantee you that grens with lmg's will get the job on by attacking head on will do more damage and with less mp drain In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet AT too map and commander call in dependant6 Jun 2014, 17:34 PM Different commanders for different maps. i dont see the problem here as anyone German player inside karkov or Stalingrad is going to find himself at a major disadvantage if he doesnt have assault grens. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: No balance... Mines, Snipers...6 Jun 2014, 10:32 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2014, 10:13 AMBurts or you are just bad. Go stugs vs t-34/85s. they work very well, especially if they get vet 1. Stop giving bad advice . In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Teching and call ins. 6 Jun 2014, 08:46 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2014, 03:16 AMvan Voort However making Call In tanks need tech I don't see the reasoning? Because its killing the game. The only real doctrines that matter have all call in tanks. otherwise you putting yourself at a rather major disadvantage as your opponent can simply forgo tech and have far more fuel available for his tanks then you have for your non call in tanks. This especially true for the kv1 t-34/85 and sherman which can easily replace the entire tier 3. So any doctrine that doesnt have call in tanks are put at disadvantage and i really want to level the playing field between doctrines. this makes the game more fun as other doctrines and strategy's become available.

Thread: Teching and call ins. 5 Jun 2014, 23:10 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2014, 20:27 PMKatitof In beta call-ins were completely replacing base unit. That didn't proved to work at all. And people will still wait for call-ins. Why? Because they still are simply upgrades of default units in most cases. That only applies to the soviets t-34-76/85 . In: COH2 Balance
