Well, there is that 250 call-in with LMG grens in german mechanized or infantry doctrine, one of the two. Or at least used to be. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on Panzergrenadiers19 Mar 2019, 16:44 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2019, 08:15 AMmiragefla I believe that would be too soon. Their deployment at earliest could be around anywhere from 3-5 minutes into the game that doesn't include skipping T1 builds. They already have a number of counters also available before they arrive and at least they have to fight at mid-short range to be effective. And Katitof, none of those early units can deal with the UC or MGs outside flanks and your idea requires a back-tech to T1 so there is cost and time involved there. If Sturms and Volks cannot take on a UC in the first 2-3 minutes of the game, I doubt stock PGs would either as you need snares to be effective versus a well-microed one until AT or 222s hit the field. I don't see fanboyism in the post. From what I gather, though, utility and abilities, such as the Infantry Doctrine's PG Training, seem to be the way the go such as their passive when near armor which gives them bonuses or more things to do that isn't just 'More DPS' which is their main purpose at the moment and all they do. I wouldn't call it "backtech" in ost case as I don't consider ost viable without it. These 10 seconds and symbolic resource payment to put it up isn't really a problem. In: COH2 Balance

Try to park them in the best cover possible ,(to avoid -25% dps through model drop) and just let them dish out damage. I only move them in when enemy is suppressed or outgunned/flanked Its also correct use as long as you don't try to go for long range. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Thoughts on Panzergrenadiers18 Mar 2019, 23:54 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2019, 21:26 PMLago Would you? For a start, PGren spam means no snares, which means the Universal Carrier's free to do its thing. Machine guns don't care if they're fighting Grens or PGrens. UKF'll also be a unit up. T2 + 3x PGren is 1220. 1220 / 280 (the most expensive UKF T1 unit) is 4.36. Then when you consider UKF's starting unit is an Infantry Section and OST's is a Pioneer, they're effectively two up. Would you take 4x Infantry Section 1x Universal Carrier or 3x Panzergrenadier x1 Pioneer? Do you axis fanboys deal exclusively with absolutes? 2 grens/3 osttruppen and 2 PGs very early or HMG42 and PGs very early would be pretty much IWIN combination, suppress anything, mow it with PGs, rinse and repeat. PGs biggest problem lies with their usability and difficulty to approach targets frontally without cover(which they shouldn't do, they aren't shock troops), not stats and changing timing to earlier pretty much warrants nerfs to performance. They also are -NOT- a squad that should open the fight, grens or other unit should and get behind the cover, then PGs should move in. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commander Info: Creator Proposals and Discussion18 Mar 2019, 22:21 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2019, 12:51 PMBizrock Please, just make new abilities, don't do like another Ostheer/soviet commander style of just to rearrange old abilities in a "new" commander. I'd love to see new stuff as well, but you need to keep in mind that Relic does NOT have developers on CoH2 anymore, its just modders. One thing however I do agree, new soviet commander looks lame and boring as fuck compared to literally anyone else, especially axis options - again extremely cheap and bad stuff in separate slots while others get "ultimate package deal".

Thread: USF got too many buffs 18 Mar 2019, 21:21 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2019, 20:10 PMdistrofio 75% people voted that USF is underpowered... yeah sure nice joke. 75% of those people do not play other faction maybe, but you defend their votes blindly. Also if you play USF shouldnt your opinion the less biased of all? Maybe you should read again what he said. Veeery slowly if need be. Because that isn't what he said and what he said is correct.

Thread: Thoughts on Panzergrenadiers18 Mar 2019, 21:21 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2019, 20:27 PMLago What if you made T2 buildable from the start and locked the 222 and 251 behind Battle Phase 1? You'd be able to deploy PGrens straight away, but paying the manpower cost of T2 up front and the higher cost of PGrens means you'll have roughly two fewer squads on the field than the T2 build would if you try to mainline them. What do you think? Then you have autowin vs brits. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Air drop Supplies18 Mar 2019, 09:25 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2019, 09:07 AMJibberJabberJobber I tested this some time ago in cheatmod (letting pio's grab ~5 luft med kits) and I'm pretty sure the bonus doesn't stack (performance remained the same as grabbing one). It stacked up to 3, it used to be 15% buff in dmg reduction and accuracy. I'll skim through patch notes and check what I can find. e: Yup, should still be 15% accuracy buff and 0.87 rec acc buff stacking up to 3. Only change to that across 4 years was removal of healing in actual combat. 3 crates used in combat should still turn any combat oriented squad in terminators. Pios are probably very bad squad to test it with. In: Lobby
Thread: Air drop Supplies18 Mar 2019, 09:01 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2019, 08:42 AMVipper Luftwaffe Supplies and Air Resupply Operation both give combat buffs but they drop 3 of them so one will either use all of them or they will be left in field. Air Resupply Operation can not be used in base sector. Regardless being able to move this items in the battlefield would greatly increase their utility if it was possible. As for OKW only the Opel can move them so it would be an improvement in the utility of the unit. The buff does stack for luftwaffe supply, I remember it being nerfed, but I think it was potency, not stackability. Not sure about opel, I do agree that its not much used unit and since I'm a big fan of all infantry transports, anything to see them used more often is a good idea in my book. In: Lobby
Thread: Air drop Supplies18 Mar 2019, 08:35 AM Luftwaffe crates are also combat buff as well, there isn't really any reason to leave them behind, unless in base. And for "offensive" OKW crates, 221 drops them one by one, regular 3 stack is "replacement" for med truck tech. In: Lobby
