Thread: 120 mortar Vet 1 ability2 Jul 2021, 08:00 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jul 2021, 04:34 AMSkysTheLimit Yeah pretty much this. Idk if they intended for the 120mm mortar to stick too, but if they didn't then they just forgot to disable that when they copied the ability over from the USF version. It's been that way for as long it's been in the game At most it's an oversight but I don't see it being a problem. It's useful on the m21 but hardly oppressive It should probably be on both of them or none of them. Having it on one and not the other makes it inconsistent, especially since both abilities are uncommonly used. You might see a mortar land on your vehicle one game and think that's how it works, and then 20 games later it happens again but it doens't stick- it'll be confusing. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B429 Jun 2021, 17:26 PM The Sturmtiger and B-4 are completely different tools, the only similarity is big boom. The closest thing you can compare it to is the AVRE. Could also compare it to the Sturmpanzer too if you want to stretch a bit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Your favorite Elite Infantry and Why?27 Jun 2021, 01:44 AM Shock Troops and Panzergrenadiers. I love their voice acting and attitudes. They show no fear, and express only annoyance or displeasure toward the enemy in combat. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: why are penals better than cons objectively27 Jun 2021, 01:41 AM While we're citing sources, does anyone have a source for this claim that Katitof keeps posting? Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2021, 11:26 AMKatitof There were penal battalions and penal companies. Penal companies were what in-game battalion description says. Penal battalions were trained OFFICERS and had supply priority over regular infantry. I'd like to know where the distinction between "Penal Company" and "Penal Battalion" comes from here because that doesn't make any sense. A Battalion is a larger formation than a Company, comprised of 2-6 Companies as well as command, supply, and and communications elements. One would assume the standard unit designations apply to Penal units, with Penal Battalions being made up of Penal Companies made up of Penal Platoons made up of Penal Squads. Penal units comprised of disgraced officers did exist and were considered "Elite" and were used as disposable shock troops, but I see no evidence tying the word "Battalion" to the formations of disgraced officers. Aside from the officer formations, most penal troops were enlisted personnel who got in serious trouble, and were issued equipment equal to that of the regular troops. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Soviet Feedback22 Jun 2021, 01:54 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2021, 17:18 PMblvckdream Why do PPSH Cons synergize with Shocks? IMO they don't have particularly good synergy because they all depend on getting into close range. Because they can attack alongside Shock Troops and contribute something to the fight. They can't ignore the Conscripts and focus fire the Shock Troops because the Conscripts will actually deal damage if they do that. Of course if they do attack the Conscripts, the Shock Troops will rip them up. Oorah also allows Conscripts to close rapidly and Smoke allows Shock Troops to conceal themselves, which together is a powerful combination. PPSh Conscripts can hastily deal with peripheral threats to your Shock Troop's push as well, such as support weapons or long range infantry, which if you have regular Conscripts it'll take too long to deal with the threat IF they can deal with the threat.

The Soviets must build T1/T2, T3, then T4. They cannot skip any tiers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Penal versatility16 Jun 2021, 03:06 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jun 2021, 23:57 PMLady Xenarra Penal have very high rifle damage and would be punished overall by getting PPSHs imho. Will outshoot volks and grens at all ranges. If you desire a squad with close range PPSHs, there's none better than Shock Troops. After the changes to Shock Army, PPSh and Shock Troops are no longer possible. In: COH2 Balance
