Red Army Suggestions / Re: Making DP-28s as useful as PPShs

« on: May 06, 2011, 09:19:00 PM »

@Sturmovik - Sov's don't need an MG team due to the massively powerful mortar.  Capture an MG42 or two, and watch every infantry squad die in a couple of shells, no matter what.  There's no reason to give the Sov's that kind of power, simply because it would COMPLETELY unbalance early/early-mid gameplay.  And if you do give them a buildable MG, then the Sov mortar becomes like Ami and Wehr mortars, and therefore cookie-cutters them.  That makes the Sov's like everyone else.

As for animations, from what i understand, they're not that easy in CoH.  If it was easy, there'd be no shortage of animators for this game.

Balance Discussion / Re: [1.3.1.0] Returned to EF after nearly a year, good to see the USSR is still OP

    But the biggest problem is allowing the Soviets to retreat.The lack of a retreat option actually made vanilla EF more playable, because it forced the Soviet player to be careful where he sent his infantry

    Finally, not allowing the Soviets to capture MGs and crew weapons was part of their faction handicap. Removing this ability made the Soviets more OP from my experience.

- You must be kidding.....or you're clueless.

i'm with zerstorer.

...10-12 skirmish matches against Hard German AI, and a 3-4 matches as Wehr vs Normal Soviet AI...

also, as an aside, and not to be rude, but comp stomping has never been considered useful in the discussion of balance.  just thought i'd give you a heads-up.

Balance Discussion / Re: [1.3.1.0] 88 and Flak 40

i have to agree that the 88/flakvierling need some kind of buff to their crew.  even in team games (about all i play, with some of my friends, for fun) the 88's are completely pointless.  at least, if the crew could take a hit or two, they may see some use in VP games.

at the very least, this kind of buff could give a little credibility back to the defense doctrine (which has always been a joke to me, even before relic announced the latest patch.)
