Thread: Obersoldaten MG34 on the move14 Apr 2020, 15:20 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 15:13 PMSander93 It also almost exclusively matters at max range, because at 20 range for example Obersoldaten as a squad have ~55% DPS on the move while LMG Paratroopers as a squad have ~45%. Now obviously the difference goes up in favour of the Obers as more models drop, but they need to have an advantage for being a 4 men squad. I thought their advantage was their impressive RA, and concentrated high damage output. I just dont feel like they need to have excellent mobile LMG damage output as well. The IR stgs give them that.

Thread: Obersoldaten MG34 on the move14 Apr 2020, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 15:08 PMSander93 These numbers are not correct because the amount of weapons between the squads varies (Paras have 2x LMGs). For example at max range Paratroopers as a squad go from 25,4 to 9,7, which is 38% and not 18. I was referring specifically to the LMG dps and not the dps of the squad as a whole which still favors obers anyway. I'll edit to clarify though. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Obersoldaten MG34 on the move14 Apr 2020, 15:07 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 15:04 PMLady Xenarra I suppose I should have seen this coming after so openly reminiscing about my adventures with LMG obers in the forum and chat..... They're still a 4 man squad and not supermen even with 0.7 RA as standard. The LMG is actually worse the closer the target is, so you really want to keep the squad behind cover and picking off models afar. I understand the role. And I think the damage output when standing still is fine. I just dont like the fact that obers can MOVE while retaining so much dps. For the record, this is something I've been meaning to post for some time now but I've been on the fence about if Obers being "uber" elite makes it acceptable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Obersoldaten MG34 on the move14 Apr 2020, 15:02 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 14:58 PMJilet Their each squad member cost whopping 40MP to reinforce on top of the upgrade being 80muni. They are fine as they are IMO. I get they are expensive and their base stats are consistent with this. But the ability to fire their MG on the move with without a more substantial dps penalty goes against their long range semi static anti infantry role. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rear Echelon very weak.14 Apr 2020, 14:57 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2020, 14:34 PMRiley ... Rear echelon are the most versatile engineering unit in the game. Their mid-long range damage is similar to combat engineers yet far superior in close range. Huge number of potential weapon upgrades(including doctrines), they can be kitted for anti tank, and anti infantry. Doctrinal upgrades (rifle nades, 30cal lmg, flamethrower) give them all the more flexibility. They can equip these weapons without giving up their minesweeper. They can build cover and MG emplacements. They have an(admittedly weak) suppression ability, though this will be stronger if you have them upgraded with weapons. 5 man vet improves squad repair rate, durability and damage output simultaneously without needing to purchase an upgrade or select a doctrine for it. They MIGHT be slightly overpriced at 25 reinforce, but I couldn't see it being any less than 23. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Obersoldaten MG34 on the move14 Apr 2020, 14:42 PM The Obersoldaten lmg34 has a better on the move dps ratio(60%) then most other infantry small arms-hell, it has a better damage ratio than obersoldaten bolt actions. I consider this to be problematic given how high the base damage output is to begin with and what I perceive to be lmg34 ober's role. When compared to the on the move MG stats of other infantry, commando brens have ~42% on the move dps, and paratrooper m1919s a measly ~18%. Now with the commandos it makes sense given their role as mobile ambush infantry but the obersoldaten are long range specialists. I do not see why they should be able to chase down other squads so easily. I dont know exactly where the MG34(on the move) damage ratio should sit, but I'd say bringing it down to ~40%(on the move) would be a start. Edit: As far as I'm concerned, the ability to fire an LMG on the move is already a big enough boon, they dont need to excel at it too. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Congratulations balance team14 Apr 2020, 14:30 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 00:21 AMOrangePest My suggestion for a solution that i think would work, get rid of sandbags, trenches, give them five man out of the gate, get rid of the coverbonus, decrease their firepower and reduce their cost if need be and give them a snare if its so fucking desperate to deal with LVHs. Reduce the AECs anti infantryt pintle and make treadbreak not get stronger with vet. make the vickers 50 muni per, Make assault sections lose their phosp grenade, and increase the last tech level for brits so the cromwell doesn't get the best timing in the game. I don't disagree with your reasonings(for the most part), and as you are a substantially better player I'd defer to your assessment regardless- but I dont understand the munitions cost added to the vickers and the nerf to the AEC mg.

Thread: Are the patches making this game progressively worse?12 Apr 2020, 10:42 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2020, 05:58 AMIncendiaryRounds And to follow up with the post above, if you're mainly a 4v4 player and you impose your opinions of game balance, kindly remove yourself from these forums, and GO FUCK YOURSELF. 4v4 players aren't playing Company of Heroes 2, they're playing Blob Wars 2. Tactics include blobbing, arty spam, and double and even triple teaming and getting wipes by sheer brutality of the gangbanging of one player. That isn't skill. In smaller game modes, you get wipes by superior positioning and deft movement on retreat paths without relying on an ally to blob the retreat path. If u truly cared about balance, you'd spent most of your time playing 1v1 and 2v2. While agree with the idea game should be balanced first around the smaller game modes, you dont have to be a jerk like that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger nerf12 Apr 2020, 10:32 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Apr 2020, 08:10 AMKatitof Tiger killed IS-2 faster then IS-2 could kill Tiger WITH 375 armor on IS-2. At the moment Tiger just roflstomps IS-2. Actually in a straight slugging match at long range, the IS-2 had a slight edge. Just going by dividing the penetration chance into 6 reloads(required to kill) at long range, the old IS 2 kills the old tiger in ~55 seconds while the old tiger kills the old IS 2 in ~58 seconds. Obviously with the armor nerf, the tiger now has the advantage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IR 251 Half-track 2014-2020 RIP!12 Apr 2020, 06:12 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Apr 2020, 22:00 PMVipper I would rather have it a toggle ability that it stop (or move at slow speed) and mine sweeps so that it allow SP to do other duties. This is actually really cool and has the benefit of making sturmpio shreks more viable since you have an alternative sweeping method. In: COH2 Balance
