Thread: General bugs & issues collection2 Jul 2020, 21:06 PM Minor bug but while we're at it: The OKW Announcer sometimes calls the Sturmtiger a StuG III (also confirming the stug as a cut okw unit). In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Rocket artillery pricing2 Jul 2020, 03:33 AM Axis definitely have a significant advantage in rocket artillery due to having superior options which are also standard, although OKW's is a bit risky in 1v1 but domineering in 2v2 and up. I'd personally rate rocket artillery as: Stuka Zu Fuß aka Wipe Machine Panzerwerfer a close second due to high damage and suppression Katyusha is third due to low cost and tolerable performance Calliope is fourth due to high cost and limited availability Land Mattress last because it's crewed (which makes it victim to #1 and #2) The Panzerwerfer's tight rapid fire and tight spread combined with lethality and suppression make it a very reliable unit. The Katyusha is less of a shock weapon and more of an area denial weapon, which means you won't be getting the same mileage out of it as you do with a Panzerwerfer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript change.28 Jun 2020, 22:49 PM Conscripts are too efficient? I thought the consensus was that they bleed too much. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Quality of Life base change28 Jun 2020, 01:32 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2020, 12:27 PMOsinyagov SneakEye already made a wonderful mod, based on old Mr.Someguy concept Suddenly, it wasn't added to the game I may be a bit bias, but I still fully support this being added to the game. It's greatly simplified, unique, and provides a little cove for the ambulance to hide in so it isn't as vulnerable to base inspections or the one-in-one-thousand stray shot hitting it from the battlefield.

Thread: Mod Release, Design and Live Fixes and Issues28 Jun 2020, 01:20 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2020, 17:10 PMÆgion Still I do not see how volks armed with bolt action rifles make them an AT unit. Volks having STGs is bad in design. For close range damage, there are Sturmpioneers. The global upgrades allow them more durable and better at an all rounder standard unit. There is general less focus on damage for this mod. Volks, panzergrens, and infantry sections all had their size reworked focus on staying power rather than DPS. Conscripts a in a good position and grens are in a better position with more balanced infantry sections. Should we start a poll to see if combat engineers should have PPshs? I mistook them for an AT unit by the description in the OP, so that's my mistake. The issue with Volks not having STG's is mostly a theming issue. The TOE for Volksgrenadier Divisions included huge numbers of STG rifles, more than Kar 98's, as well as increased use of Machine Guns. This was intended to modernize the German Army, but also offset the lack of training and skill with increased firepower. The reality was that they did not have as many StG's as the TOE required, so many were issued SMG's instead, mostly MP 40's. Having Volksgrenadiers without automatic weapons is like a Riflemen without BARs or Tommies without Brens. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A_E's Casts28 Jun 2020, 01:03 AM The tournaments are entertaining, but since stakes are so high, faction selection and strategies are cookie-cutter and there's not a lot of variety. For that reason if I may make a suggestion, you should do more of the automatch / semi-pro games. In: COH2 Shoutcasts
Thread: Should doctrinal units/upgrades be superior?27 Jun 2020, 23:32 PM Doctrines provide additional options, they do not necessarily need to be superior. So the G43 work differently from the LMG 42, but are not inherently superior in every way. Furthermore I firmly believe that every doctrinal unit should have a non-doctrinal soft-counter at bare minimum; but a hard-counter is preferred. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Mod Release, Design and Live Fixes and Issues13 Jun 2020, 20:06 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2020, 18:31 PMÆgion Volks By name, should be a reserve unit. This unit has had many changes through out them game. I do not like the STG upgrade. It does not fit with there role. Panzerfussilers One of the worst designed units in live right now. Lets have two t0 CP0 squads that are 5 man bolt action rifles with snares, grenades, and weapon upgrades This unit has been redesigned into a AT unit. 4 man squad with two panzershrecks and plant teller mines. Does not drop panzershrecks You realize you criticized these units for being too similar, but then changed them to both be anti-tank squads? Anyway Volksgrenadiers should have StG's, historically that is what they were (supposed to be, supplies permitting) armed with. Kinda bummed that Conscripts still didn't get a weapon upgrade. The Soviet Army is very short of SMG's and that feels anomalous to me. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Katy 's "Creeping Barrage" ability29 May 2020, 01:18 AM I miss the precision barrage. It wasn't really any stronger than a medium-close Panzerwerfer strike, yet was still they removed it. A huge shame, considering the Panzerwerfer can do the same thing as it's default strike, if you are willing to get a bit close. The least they can do is replace it with a rapid barrage, fire the entire volley with no pauses (although personally I feel like this should be the default fire mode). In: COH2 Gameplay
