Thread: USF getting a Sniper 30 Aug 2015, 04:59 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 04:55 AMMaschinengewehr Not entirely true. I watched a documentary a while back about the Falaise Pocket. American sniper teams were used on the odd occassion to clear areas of hidden German crews and scharfshutzen where artillery and airstrikes would have caused too much damage/collateral. Interesting, I've never heard of that. Though they were still not given any training or instruction to camouflage themselves, and a Sniper without camouflage would be, well, an obvious target.

Thread: OKW: Flammpanzer 38(t)30 Aug 2015, 04:57 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 04:36 AMThoseDeafMutes I feel like a Hetzer is an unneeded unit for OKW, at least if it was a Flammpanzer it would be quite unique for the faction. JPIV is basically a Hetzer but with a Panther main gun instead of a Stug/PIV main gun. Actually the JP4's gun has the penetration as the StuG's, 60 less than the Panther's. It was the same gun in real life, but it's much weaker in-game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF getting a Sniper 30 Aug 2015, 04:54 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 04:43 AMAlexzandvar Word to the wise JLI and Pathfinders are actually stupid good accurate a long ranges but most people aren't really smart enough to use them at those ranges. Your chances of hitting and sniping things at close range is actually less by a very significant margin. Note that if you take into account model snipes Pathfinders and JLI have quite good DPS. Thanks for the correction, my memory was off and I didn't remember where to get the exact numbers from. My point still stands though that JLI are by far the superior unit, with their crit threshold being 75% and their 3 Kar 98's which are much better at range than the M1A1 Carbine. Pathfinders are still armed with 2 short range weapons and 2 long range weapons, which make them feel like a unit that was designed by 2 different people for 2 different purposes, and as a result can barely do either.

Thread: USF getting a Sniper 30 Aug 2015, 04:14 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 04:02 AMSnipester But... Isn't that what Pathfinders are? Kind of, except Pathfinders are really bad at it and their design is counter-intuitive. 2 have close range weapons, 2 have scoped rifles. The scoped rifles do almost no DPS and only crit enemy units below 30% Health, which leaves the 2 Carbines which are only damaging up close. This makes them basically useless unless they're supporting another squad. Jäger Light Infantry on the other hand, have 3 Kar 98's that are decent at any range, and one Scoped G43 which crits enemy units below 80% health, and they can come out of buildings. This makes them effective combatants by themselves and very effective in support of other units. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: USF getting a Sniper 30 Aug 2015, 03:56 AM Technically not realistic, US Army did not utilize Snipers like other Armies did. While other Armies trained Snipers as mostly independent long-range ambushers or assassins (basically, a Sniper), US Army Snipers were essentially what we consider Marksmen. They just took an Advanced Marksmanship class and were given a Scoped Rifle, but they still operated as part of an Infantry Squad. In-fact, a realistic USF Sniper would be exactly like OKW Jäger Light Infantry are now, one man of an Infantry squad with a scoped rifle that crit-kills enemy models. It's actually disappointing that Relic made JLI's mechanic for an Axis unit and not an American unit. I would love something like that as a USF stock unit, actually. Relic Pls In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: SU76 - Free Barrage30 Aug 2015, 03:05 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 02:58 AMDaciaJC Am I way off or does the ZiS-3's barrage have significantly less scatter than the SU-76's? Because I've consistently had great success with the former, whereas the latter seems largely a waste of time unless directed at structures or used en masse (3+ units). No, it's true. The ZiS-3 Barrage is more accurate and has a larger area of effect. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW: Flammpanzer 38(t)30 Aug 2015, 03:03 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2015, 17:53 PMKatitof Less then 50 produced you say? Meets all the requirements for a stock unit for axis army. If the picture of the Jagdpanzer 38 posted above is real, it would explain why a Flammpanzer 38 was used. Perhaps the flamethrower is a side-grade to the Hetzer, replacing the main gun.

Thread: Buff Conscript PPSh-41 long range to match Mosin DPS30 Aug 2015, 02:06 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 01:42 AMFlying Dustbin IMO PPSH upgrade should be a default thing. Would be a nice contrast to the Gren LMG, with conscripts being aggressive up close with PPSHs and Molotovs and Grens sitting at range with their LMGs and Rifle 'nades. I agree, make it like the BAR from CoH1, a global upgrade that gives 3 PPSh to every squad, which improves short range DPS but doesn't ruin long range. In: COH2 Balance

They are armed with 4 MP 40's, Smoke Grenade ability, and Panzerfaust ability. In: COH2 Gameplay
