Thread: Maxim - Enough said20 May 2014, 18:47 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2014, 18:18 PMUnited Double snipers is what you use against maxims to push them off the map. Scout cars are awesome, but they get penned by maximums and come too late and besides, at guns and guards. So don't scout car, double snipe. Once again you use a very fragile unit send them to the front and if make even one tiny error you can kiss 360 mp manpower goodbye. Grenadiers should be able to counter the maxim in tier 1 with the help of support units. just as conscripts can counter the mg42. When they altered and then nerfed the g43 i saw this problem coming from a mile away. standard grendiers cannot counter the maxim in this form. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim - Enough said20 May 2014, 18:17 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2014, 16:09 PMilGetUSomDay I hardly use tiger and I still win. That kind of argument is not very good... mg42 is perfectly fine and is only a liability if you use it in risky situations. Just because it does not win games for you does not make it bad, its personal opinion. I use 1-2 of them every game supported and they do great amounts of work. Their vet one ability is one of the best in the game, the mg42 goes from a wide arc suppression tool to a murder machine. Now im certain your lying. vet 1 is nearly unusable. but its not about the mg42 its about the maxim being far to good for price that either needs more or mp bleed or needs a massive suppresion nerf. at least 50 % should be sufficient In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Maxim - Enough said20 May 2014, 14:31 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2014, 13:42 PMilGetUSomDay This sounds like the classic case of "I do not support my mg42s, I set up and forget" because if you actually adapted to the last few patches you'd find that all MG's require support (even if it is from another mg). A gren squad near buy would pick off members as they approach. The second you see an oorah towards your mg42 start moving it (assuming they cons didnt get suppressed). If you got flanked and they oorahed towards your mg42 well props to the soviet player for finding a route around the arc. You need to stop going on forums, whining about issues you never ask help in resolving, and starting flame wars to back up your complaints. You should spend more time on streams or in the strategy section it doesn't suppress enough and is just a massive liability. i hardly use mg42 these days and still win most of the games.

Thread: Maxim - Enough said20 May 2014, 14:29 PM Jump back to quoted post20 May 2014, 13:45 PMilGetUSomDay mg42s are still good in buildings but they need to be supported and not in structures that are at the center of fire fights because they will have to turn the gun all the time. I have never had a problem of a maxim running up to my mg42s and winning, they get suppressed and have a large accuracy modifier that allows the mg42 to pin them with no problem. You may not have no problems but i suppose your a lucky considering you list mortars as a maxim counter. the numbers are not in the mg42's favor. to back this up look at 6:20 where the first burst doesnt suppress the maxim.

Thread: Maxim - Enough said19 May 2014, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2014, 15:30 PMilGetUSomDay Maxim spam in 1s is a terrible idea. The second you see a second maxim as their third unit just get a German Sniper fallowed by a a mortar or so. Want a harder counter? go a doctrine with a MHT. For a Mid game continuing counter get a Half track and load up some panzer grens and or a pio squad with a flame thrower. Send this transport out any time you find an unsupported maxim drive up behind it and murder the maxim. Another thing of note is that when you decrew maxims it is a good idea to destroy them to prevent the Soviet players engineer squad from retrieving them all the time. If you look upon the replay the op posted i would say nearly all your counters are not effective. Let start with the mortar. Its completely rng dependant and if you say your strat should not resolve around luck. The sniper will take a full 30 seconds to bring a maxim to 1 man force a retreat. that is a long time not to mention you are using a very frail unit and one fuck up and you can say goodbye to your 360 mp investment. The HT strat works provided he doesn't have AT or guards. But the biggest issue with the maxim is how cheap it is to reinforce. even if you hit with riflenade or a sniper or mortar you virtually cause no mp damage what so ever. this issue can be easily resolved if we double mp cost for reinforcement making the soviet player pay dearly if they use maxim spam.

And there still is about 10% of threads which are still somehow constructive discussions worth taking part in. And it drops to zero if you participate in it. All you do is trying to counter one's arguments with profanity. And you fucking deserve it its offensive what your doing. When somebody gives evidence you dont say l2p or l2adept you give constructive feedback. You must give arguments why maxim spam is not a problem show your strats your tactics and how you would solve this particular strat. You dont so will polity ask you to get lost until you get a replay. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim - Enough said19 May 2014, 09:11 AM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2014, 08:58 AMKatitof Like pretty much every single strat that takes more effort to counter then dish out. Both sides have them. Have you noticed how it is pretty much always like this: Soviets get a strat that works and is effective-clearly abuse of broken units, must be nerfed asap, counters do not exist even if the thread is spammed with them. Germans get a strat that works and is effective-it is a direct result of vastly superior play using perfectly balanced units, like old TA or march deployment G43 grens, soviet scrubs need to L2P. This is pretty much the reason why I'm calling L2P in most of these "balance" discussions. There was absolutely PERFECT example of that last night, where cataclaw stomped some complete and utter scrub, who kept blaming balance and saying how awesome player he was. Needless to say, he wasn't such a great player as he claimed to be, neither the balance was the reason of his lose. We have threads like that, because these all awesome players in their own eyes littered forums recently like they never did before. So what are you doing here then ? getting troll points?

Thread: Maxim - Enough said18 May 2014, 19:28 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2014, 19:08 PMOZtheWiZARD Not if you invested heavily in Maxims. If you went for Guards having 6 Maxims I'd go straight for tanks. Short barrel StuG would work wonders as well. And what prevents the soviet player from building tanks? not to mention that most guards doctrines are usually AT flavoured. Stop making a damn fool of yourself In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim - Enough said18 May 2014, 18:01 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2014, 17:46 PMOZtheWiZARD Recently I play only Germans. I even provided some replays. I delt with Maxim spam recently. Surprised? I agree with porygon that you haven't played this game the last months. teching cost got increased so you have sit on a shitload of mp while you wait go to tier2 and expect the soviets just sit on their asses and not take the map. your fast turning into a laughing stop oz try to keep up.
