Thread: Armor Company is Highly Overrated3 May 2016, 08:19 AM Im pretty sure that Relic did not design them to jump out from vehile, replace them with RE and use them as normal infantry. That's just hard trying to use useless ability in some useful way. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bofors3 May 2016, 08:15 AM Ostheer has amazing doctrine agasint empacement in teamgames. The one with MHT, LeFH and Sector Arty. It punishes emplacement play really hard. Just use it instead of whining all the time. No one is saying you should be able to kill bofors in 2 barrages, in few seconds. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should 17 pounder have less popcap?3 May 2016, 07:56 AM I fail to see how 17 pounder can be more expensive and how the hell it takes 20 pop cap. Sure, it has brace, cannot be decrwed and can be supported by other emplacement BUT Pak43 does not cost any fuel, has 10 pop cap, shoots through everything, cannot be killed by AT gun, flames just decrew it instead of destroing it, so I fail to see why 17 pounder is much more expensive. Oh and it does not have arc of fire which pisses me hard. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: (may preview) okw medic truck and anti-tank3 May 2016, 07:31 AM Jump back to quoted post2 May 2016, 23:40 PMFiresparks 90% of USF go Captain instead of LT. The lack of any AT really hurts the LT building. Medical truck is in a similar situation without the schreck, except okw need the building for healing. But if 57mm was a HQ unit, Lieutenat would receive new life. On the other hand, raketen is HQ unit. In: COH2 Balance

JP4 doesn't have turret and is not very mobile like Jackson is. If CPV with insane "mark target" is not TD then what it is? And JPIV has predator's camo so... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet industry - where is my munition?!1 May 2016, 09:53 AM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2016, 09:49 AM\|GB\| The Hooligan486 Well you can see it like this 2: Ostheer player needs to make an ostwind to get your planes down. I only pick soviet industry if i am against an ostheer. I never pick it against okw, bcs they have free anti air. You force an ostheer player to make anti air, which you can use in your advantage to make something anti tank and kill the anti air. Every disadvantage has his advantage, as Johan Cruijff would say I would hardly get Oswtind to shoot down planes. I mean, enemy already cripples himself with ammo - less mines, less demos and he can't get extra ammo thanks to good micro. I would be more worried about drop for MP becasue he can still aford mines, demos and if we played well, he has that MP to spare And again, I see no reason at all why OST planes cannot be shot down.

Thread: Soviet industry - where is my munition?!1 May 2016, 09:44 AM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2016, 09:32 AM\|GB\| The Hooligan486 Yes you both pointed out some good points. It's weird that axis get a lot more fuel then the allies. True you should be making decisions that save you manpower and in this case you can spend that on extra fuel. Maybe they should make the amout of fuel you get the same and make axis pay more (?) manpower for their fuel and munition. Bcs it is actually a bit weird that the "manpower -> fuel" system of soviet industry (before it works the way it now works) was according to a lot of people OP and now the axis abillity to trade manpower for fuel isn't OP? I have to admit it's strange. Idk maybe relic should make these commanders a bit more the same for the sake of "balance". But if you get two almost the same commanders for OST and SU, it will get a lot more boring. If we do this with all the commanders for the sake of "balance", i should say leave it. But that's my opinion Point is, previous SU system was out of control. You gained 3CPs and it insta turned your MP and F income. Becasue of this, you could not afford any MP loses, doctrine forced you to use it. OST drops are completly in your control. You decide if you need extra F or you want to keep MP in bank. Well, it was OP in the first 10mins, when you could spam T70 but after 10min it was slowlt killing your map presence. If it worked like old Mech turck conversion, so you can turn it off/on, then it would be OP. As for now, Im fine with Ostwind or 251/17 taking down planes but investin 100ammo just to see how the plane is falling down to flaks in base or schwerer is just bad design when o the other side OST planes cannot be shot down.

Thread: Soviet industry - where is my munition?!1 May 2016, 09:17 AM Jump back to quoted post1 May 2016, 09:10 AM\|GB\| The Hooligan486 If you made the planes immortal, then the commander would be "OP" again. And yes OST supply drop is immortal, but it cost you manpower. And you can play a game without having munition, but without having manpower........ No. Completly opposite. I would choose MP trade for ammo trade any day. You may ask why, well, it's simple. If I played well, and I don't bleed too much I always have some extra man power. Sure, if I played badly I won't be able to use it but I won't have much ammo as well. Point is, you can save extra man power thanks to good micro, good decision etc while you can't save extra ammo. So in the end you can get extra XXX MP which you can spare but no matter what, you won't get extra ammo. In: COH2 Balance
