The ML-20 should gain a replacement for it's long removed Precision Barrage. Give it a Zeroing Barrage that has the same scatter of a normal barrage, but becomes tighter with each shot until the last one lands directly on target with no scatter. In fact I would give this to all Soviet Artillery units that lost Precision Barrage, most of them have not recovered from that loss and they currently have the weakest Artillery.
Consider reading the 240 damage to the ML-20 as well. I recall it was nerfed because it killed OKW trucks too easily. If that's still a concern, then just reduce it's strength vs OKW trucks.
Counter Battery on the LeFH needs looked at. I had no idea it tracked targets out of its cone and through the fog of war. It should not be able to track targets through the fog of war, it should fire at the enemy artillery's last known position; that alone renders static guns obsolete.
The Sherman Dozer upgrade should be remove from the game.
The ability has many advantage over other call-in tanks:
It makes Sherman tank superior to 105 Dozer tank with less restrictions
It allow the tank to be build with lower fuel
It allow players to upgrade the tank of teammates.
I agree actually, the Bulldozer upgrade functioning as an armor upgrade is silly. It should be purely a utility upgrade (and disable the hull machine gun), or not exist.
I don't understand the fascination with ripping things from CoH1 to CoH2. It's only given us problem units like the M26 and Calliope when more reasonable units could have been used (Jumbo, Xylophone). OKW has enough infantry anyway, in both the 'numerous and cheap' (Volksgrenadiers, Panzerfusiliers) and 'few and expensive' (Obersoldaten, Fallschirmjager) catagories. If cheap repair is what is desired, I'd rather a specialization for Panzerfusiliers.
I'm offended by someone thinking I'm so simple to believe that using the term "Sturm" with a shiny silver head, and color palette that evokes certain past organizations might not have an underlying context. Sturm, Storm, or variants thereof are quite common terms in neo-fascist organizations. It's in their titles, their logos, and their publications. Make no mistake, I am not insinuating that is the case here. It could just be some sort of a coincidence. However, I can understand how the OP arrived at his conclusion.
He's fuckin German. You want them to abolish the entire language to please you? Germans can't use the word "Storm" because it was used by Fascists in the past and wannabe Fascists who can't even speak German in the present?
And what color pallet? Cold steel with red glowing eyes? That has nothing to do with Nazi iconography, I cannot think of a single similarity. Red eyes is such a common trope you are really grasping at straws and seeing things that aren't there.
What is 'new bansystem' the title says about? You have to send relic replay of each game you've played or what? No? So I see no new bansystems explained here so far. The title should've been rather 'why i'm banned?' and drown with the rest of rant threads.
It's not so much a new ban system, more-so Relic recently announced a renewed commitment to enforcing the Code of Conduct and encouraged people to report griefers, cheaters, and assholes.
I don't even know where to find hacks for this game, let alone care enough to use them. I hover around garbage-tier rank 7-9 in 2's. There are in fact so little rewards for being higher rank in this game, I don't even see the reason for hacking - the goal of this game is singular: to have a good game.
So if you got banned, you need to think who did I piss off that would turn me in. Because it is A LOT of work to turn someone in. It is not easy.
This, and screenshots are considered weak evidence, video or timestamped replay files are encouraged. It's safe to conclude OP was rude to a teammate or opponant who took the effort to report, and Relic issued a ban due to their renewed commitment to the Code of Conduct.
That said, I am banned for who knows how long, and who knows what for. No e-mail, no notification. The only information I can find I had to hunt for on my own, which says I must submit a dispute and provide evidence for how I am innocent. As if we hadn't spent 2 world wars and around 10,000 years establishing a rule of law that operated on the INSANE notion that a man was innocent until proven guilty. Fitting that the moderator that posted this is named after a Nazi war machine - and God I'm so hesitant to use that word, but this behavior is just so utterly goddamn fascistic I have to.
Society isn't descending into fascism because you got banned for being rude in a videogame. Also, there is no such thing as a Sturmpanther, there is just a Sturmpanzer and Sturmtiger; "Sturmpanther" is the name of a user on this website.
They always had 3 G43s since their major rework. Losing the mp40 is actually a good thing imo, G43 storms are meant to be used at longer ranges in general.
Yes but if I didn't want them to have the MP 40 I wouldn't have given it to them. The Stormtrooper MP 40 does insane damage matched only by the Paratrooper Thompson, but their Kar's are only Grenadier versions. If they had Ober Kar98's then it would be better, but I'll take the super MP 40 that does higher damage than the Kar all the way to mid-range.
