Thread: About OKW , have some ideas in my BigHeaD...15 Apr 2019, 20:28 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2019, 17:52 PMKharn I'm a big fan of moving Obers to Mechanized, and not giving them the LMG upgrade until T4 is constructed. This would be sweet, I've never even used an Ober without an upgrade... are they any good? LOL Obers aren't really meant to be used without upgrade. They used to start with MG34, however due to massive initial cost and reinforce cost it was split for lower cost obers and 2nd part of their cost being LMG. Pretty much the same approach was made with 221, but 221 is still useful without upgrade. In: COH2 Balance

All soviet meta units are equally expensive or more expensive then equivalents from other factions, T34/76 being a sole exception. In: COH2 Balance

And for 240 MP, not the insane circa 470 MP 40 FU you pay right now for a single full utility Conscript squad. Lackluster on their own or when spammed, very useful when combined with other units. You could be right and they'll never be good until they're turned into yet another spammable mainline. But I'm not convinced that's the only way just yet. Penals do both, much better and still can fight on their own, at all stages of the game. Having a cripple on a wheelchair instead of him lying on the floor, making him pay for wheelchair first still means you have a cripple that needs to get carried all the time. In: COH2 Balance

I'd remove their sidetech first and see what happens: Absolutely nothing would change. They'd be equally shit in late game combat as they are now. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OST Grens15 Apr 2019, 07:09 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Apr 2019, 06:02 AMNaOCl Both. The Waffen SS were the soldiers of the NSDAP. Hence the "waffen" part. Although him saying OKW is the SS is incorrect. You're incorrect about the SS not serving on the frontlines. They must definitely had a large combat role. That's not my point, my point is, you don't need to be soldier to serve on frontline/participate in combat. Partisans anyone? Regardless, no ss will ever appear in any game, because its political, not military force, doesn't matter what they used or what they did, they still origin from political source, not military.

Thread: Soviet buffs/adjustments14 Apr 2019, 20:52 PM No, I've said that some people will still spam penals, there were people spamming them when they were shit and achieving something other then utter defeat, I've also said that more diverse BOs might emerge, like 3 cons, 2 penals or so(2 cons 2 penals was a thing for some time pre penal nerfs, remember?), with cons having a backbone in late game, penals wouldn't be the only viable option. I for one am sick of using them, but there is no alternative. Aforementioned late game con upgrade would already diminish penal usefulness as cons would still be able to apply cost efficient bleed and they boast greater map presence then penals ever could. Having an option to go more then 1 con and don't concede the game without ppsh doctrine is something soviet players really look forward to. Maxims would be more tricky as its quite challenging to find a golden spot between "maxim spam only meta" and "maxims=free vet piniata for axis" states it constantly bounces between with no middle ground, current state is probably closest to that middle ground, but it still got short end of the stick.

Thread: Soviet buffs/adjustments14 Apr 2019, 20:37 PM I don't think penals would need much of a change, you'd still see penal spams, but you wouldn't see only penal spams, they would be a nice supplement to cons, not complete replacement, so 1 or 2 in addition to cons, for emergency AT after M3 rush could be more of a norm them heavy T1 we're pretty much forced to rely on now. As for T-70, its much more tricky, I'm a massive M5 quad fan myself, but it was completely gutted as glass cannon, so alternative doesn't exists for T-70 and T-70 itself already was nerfed multiple times, it needs to be decent at its primary job, which is AI, or you'll end up with abomination of a light tank like Stuart, which completely lost its identity and potency and was completely phased out of the game as it can't engage vehicles(pumas eat it for breakfast) and can't engage infantry due to gutted performance, Luchs performs very well vs inf and still can score retreat wipes if opponent doesn't retreat early against it and T-70 already is considerably more expensive and comes later, so you probably can't nerf T-70 without buffing it elsewhere or drop its price to luchs level, which would lead to even earlier T-70, however earlier and more reliably PGs for ost could plug that T-70 vulnerability as OKW doesn't really have problems against it.

Thread: Soviet buffs/adjustments14 Apr 2019, 20:23 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2019, 20:07 PMStug life kat would u please give ur opinion for once ? what would be ur changes ? I did in multiple other threads, but since you're asking so nicely, I'll repeat myself once more: -Con T3/T4 scalability global upgrade, if its meaningful reinforcement cut so they don't bleed so badly, so be it, if its weapon upgrade, so be it - one thing is certain, whatever is going to happen, it needs to match cost efficiency provided by weapon upgrades of other factions or they'll always be behind to the point of irrelevance in late game. 3 SVTs would be my preferred way, but someone suggested reinforce cost decrease upgrade, which I'd also like to test. -Stop pretending maxim is soviet "LMG", either leave shitty suppression and buff its DPS, so it does provide firepower support for cons in early game or buff its suppression with needed DPS adjustment, either make it a damage setup weapon OR suppression weapon, not shit at both, adjust setup time accordingly, tho with current stats and cost it has, plain suppression buff is what it'd go with -Both of these units buffed will indirectly make commissar squad actually useful as its buffs are nothing but a waste on anything that isn't penal. No other soviet unit needs any kind of buffs if we consider commander patch changes specifically to shocks. Lets just forget for good lend-lease guards exist and remove them from the game.

That's when JLI were spammed already, they were also batshit insane thing at WFA release. In: COH2 Balance
