*Watches simcity burn*

Nothing of value was lost


"Maxis developers angry noices".

On one hand, this looks like over the top nerfs. On the other side it's Simcity.

Over the top is understatement here.
For bofors alone its +50% cost for 20% hp and nothing else. Pretty bad deal that removes that upgrade from doctrine completely if you ask me.

I tried the new Bofor and i have to say, well done devs, you successfully remove it from the game. One less problem to worry about.

Not sure about the bofor changes, but I feel that they're in the right direction to make it less of a surprise squad eraser.

Maybe take a look at it's vet requirements/bonuses as it takes forever to level up.

Cause it cant move and no one will ever walk in it range after the fist time they see it. The only match where Bofors can vet up is vs AI.

At the very least, give it some + suppression so it can still deni areas. I feel like the Bofor 1.2 nearly cant do anything. I saw a rak coak right up to the gun and then retreat while drop only 1 model.

Yeah, increased suppression would be good.

That's called area denial and it's actually the point of it...
Are you suggesting that, since once spotted the enemy won't walk into it again it should both immediately wipe whatever it shoots at and vet instantly? That's the only solution to the problem you created.

It keeps the enemy away and punishes them if they don't. That's the point of it and it does that.

Would rather have something actually useful instead of just cancer.

If someone built a Bofor in a conner or behind some shoot blocked, it will mostly not cover a lot of points and you can simply ignore it.


I also mean mainly mortar emplacements. Bofors is mainly only cancer for retreating units, it fucks everything, as effective as 3 Ostwinds.

Bofors should be useable more flexible, should be easyer to replace AND should be counterd more easy.

Brits make the game too static, destroying CoH2.

What if we give the Bofors better damage vs targets in light cover? When it was done for the Centaur, it allowed it to operate just fine in the late game, where light cover would be everywhere. It really should make a difference to make up for it's new firing speed.

:gimpy: Churchill needs more nerfs. Just came back from watching the Banace preview tournament and that Churchill spam was so OP

Right now it can hold off a panther, while costing less fuel and being able to beat up infantry

I would suggest reducing the main gun’s AOE damage so that it can continue to fight panthers on even terms, but can’t slaugher infantry afterwards.

I think taking the opposite approach and reducing main gun penetration to reduce effectiveness versus armored vehicles might make more sense.

TBH though I have always wondered why some of these heavy tanks like the Churchill are not restricted to one unit at a time anyway.

Damage sponge units tend to do very well against "low" DPS units.
If you try to counter churchill with a panther, you have failed miserably as you need a volume of fire, not consistency of penetration against it.

I do definitely agree that the Churchill needs to be nerfed but nerfing it's anti infantry performance is not the way to go. The British already have the Comet and the Firefly which are both great at fighting tanks and having a third AT focused tank would simply be redundant.

The Churchill needs to be good against infantry to fill it's role well but it shouldn't be able to do that and fight a panther and be cheaper all at the same time. The Churchill needs to either have less hp so it can't simply ignore damage or it needs less penetration so that it can actually be pushed back by armor. I do also like the idea of it being limited to one on the field at a time just like all other heavy vehicles.

As someone who uses the Churchill for mobile heavy cover, I would rather keep the armour and health where it is for it to perform it's role as an Infantry Support tank. But I can certainly live with a penetration nerf to the Churchill's main gun or even a rate of fire decrease. It really shouldn't be destroying Panthers on it's own but it should be able to still take a beating.
