At the beginning of coh2, in beta, there was a time when pgrens had single shreck for 60 muni. It was really OP as it came really early that way, was enough to fend off light vehicles, didn't hurt AI too much and was ideal for blob composition. Really the same problems as volk blobs but cheaper and earlier.

To solve the problem it was decided to replace it with double shreck upgrade. That way it came way later and made the unit useless against infantry with upgrade - as it is right now. It also was impossible to use other ostheer muni goodies at the same time as shreck early game - flame ht, lmgs, mines and so on.

This is why they gave it higher cost when they introduced shreck on volks - they knew it is going to be OP but thought it will be too expensive to blob. Truth was, that this time the unit itself was way less expensive so people used muni only on shreck but still managed to blob them really hard. This is why it was fixed by moving to more expensive unit. But giving it price reduction would mean we are going the same, bad way for the third time.

+1 OP.
Relic ran out of ideas and thought laying mines by a halftrack would be a 'cool' idea.
Half Track Regals should have cause catastrophic damage to light tanks, mass criticals to mediums, and immobilisation on heavies. Then they'd be useful.


With the latest nerf, mines are a waste of munis.

Epic necro

150$ average is a huge exagerration. Average player doesn't even have all the factions. I have almost all commanders (I lack only 2), I have preordered base game and both multiplayer add-ons and I didn't spend more than 75$ when I sum it up.

official stream took a poll, and bloodthirsty viewers voted for Barton vs. wada for the official cast by a landslide. Somehow Relic gave Wada the #30 seed, even tho he was invited.

Maybe they wanted them to play in first round to loose all the salt after first round? Changing seeds is a way of choosing who plays who, isn't it?

Comparing t-70, stuart and luchs makes no sense, all these vehicles play too big role right now by the same margin. They are all build in every 1v1 match of their respective faction as there is no good counter other than building LV yourself and bleed your opponent just like he does bleed you.

This is in fact due to some changes that "promoted LV play" and pushed med tech far beyond resonable levels meaning there is no possibility of countering lights with mediums. Before there was a choice: either fuel costly LV or earlier tech, now you loose before that earlier tech so nobody does that. These changes should be reverted - all med tech buildings should be a lot cheaper.
