Thread: Blobbing24 Nov 2014, 23:30 PM Without nerfing blobs themselves, I think our best bet would be to redesign LMG's (again) and take the Panzerschreck away from Volksgrenadiers. LMG's could have flat DPS at all ranges, or just increase the squad's overall DPS without being specifically 'good' anywhere (although it'd be good in close range as a side-effect of all squads having higher DPS the closer they are). Panzerschrecks could go to Sturmpioneers as an alternative to the Minesweeper + Repair Kit. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: next DLC patch November24 Nov 2014, 23:13 PM Japan doesn't really have anything to bring to the table though, they invested heavily in their Navy and Air Forces, their Army was pitiful in comparison. Light tanks were the bulk of their armoured force, their medium tanks were just scaled up light tanks, and the only truly decent tanks they made were reserved for a battle that never happened. Their AT department wasn't great either, AT Rifles and some AT Guns, but mostly Mines, mines were the bulk of their AT. So unless you plan to balance them out by giving them effective but mega-cheap mines on their basic infantry, I don't see how they can reasonably compete with even the T-34/76. It's the same problem USF has, the way they fought isn't accurately portray-able in this game. Their strengths were in things the series doesn't focus on, air power (Like USF in CoH2) and naval power. I do agree 100% with another German - Russian matchup though, and the British too.

Thread: Blobbing24 Nov 2014, 23:07 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2014, 22:33 PMEsxile I feel Relic made a wrong decision in allowing players to have LMG so early in the game, and this for every faction. LMG should remain something linked to T4 and behind a Munition sink wall. Because it simply reward defensive and non micro play style, it does not reward people taking risk in their strategy. This is just the final nail Ostheer needs to finally be the the least desirable faction in the game. Other factions wouldn't even be effected. USF and Soviet LMG's are locked behind a Command Points and aren't effected by this change, while OKW's LMG's are already in T4. Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2014, 22:33 PMEsxile Looking back into Vcoh, that was well balanced between vanilla faction, LMG weren't that spamed because really expensive and many other upgrade required munition before it. vCoH is an awful example of how to not have blobs. Lieutenants bonuses, movement penalties when not blobbed, AT weapons that are not effective out of a blob, easy-made defenses capable to holding back infantry in areas where the blob isn't, paper-vehicles with rock-infantry, Assault Rifles with no movement penalty, mass Panzerschrecks, and fucking Group Zeal to top it all off. vCoH's blobbing was even worse than OKW's. Just noticed you meant only meant Wehr and USA. In which case it's different, Grenadiers were so strong they didn't need LMG's to keep up with the Americans, even when BARs were fielded. MG 42's were so strong they didn't really need babysat, anything in-front of them was prey except Rangers or Airborne. Now Grens might not need LMG's to keep up with Conscripts, but they certainly need them to keep up with USF. In: COH2 Gameplay

Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2014, 14:25 PMelchino7 And you will have units out of cover again.

Thread: Blobbing24 Nov 2014, 11:07 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2014, 10:56 AMSierra I was trying to estimate what an additional 33% fuel would add on to 295 which I estimated to be 315-325 fuel. It's it's 443 fuel, then that's an even bigger disparity and only serves to further my point. I neglected to factor in OKW's starting fuel, of 40. If we discount the starting fuel, it lowers the minimum fuel for the first Panther to 255. This means it's actually closer to 383 fuel. I knew 443 seemed unusually high, considering they feel like they get Panthers before Ost (they do). I apologize for my error. In: COH2 Gameplay
