"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Thread: Design: Small arm fire 27 Sep 2021, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2021, 14:38 PMVipper Allow to explain again. The current system in Coh2 is simply a mess: Ostruppen get a penalty in all slot weapons (probably the only infatry with such penatly) Obers get different versions of lmg34 than any other infatry (probably the only infatry with such penalty) Commandos get a only a better version of the bren Paras/Ragner get only a better version of bazooka Penal/Guards get different versions of PTRS AGB get a different version of DP that they can fire on the move The point here is that instead of applying different solution for individual squad a single system should be implemented applying bonus and penalties according to squad's category. That has simply nothing to do with RNG. I know exactly what you're saying, and that wasn't my argument. You're fixating too much on the RNG part of what I said. Here are the cliff notes: -> It goes without saying that these units all have different stats on these weapons because they were balanced that way. -> Having the weapon uniform for all units lends itself to a simulator game where armies are nearly identical unlike CoH where there are imbalances that require fine tuning. -> Me mentioning RNG was pointing out the hypocrisy in wanting abandons removed because they're "too impactful" while at the same time advocating to make weapon drops more impactful.

Thread: Can the stug E be made more like the Scot at t427 Sep 2021, 14:21 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2021, 14:05 PMullumulu thats why it need more aggresive tool like a mobile indirect mortar tool like scott, which provide a lot of tools and pushing power, because when ost need to be agressive..it stay there with only few tools. whcih need to come in range from AT etc The whole point of Stug E is a cheap Brummbar knockoff. If you need offensive tools/ mobile artillery, you still have the actual Brummbar (which gets barrage with vet) and the Panzerwerfer. Not every early unit gets to stay useful all the way to the end of the game. At a certain point you just have to let it go and use the other options. The only thing I have to say is that it kinda sucks the Stuggy doesn't get any kind of vet ability. Maybe some kind of incendiary or smoke would have been nice. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Raid Section - Cannot replace dropped Vickers27 Sep 2021, 14:14 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2021, 11:25 AMPip It's pretty clearly an oversight. There's 0 reason to believe that a squad being unable to replace a weapon of theirs is intentional. "Even the wise cannot see all ends." In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Design: Small arm fire 27 Sep 2021, 14:11 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2021, 13:09 PMVipper Dropable weapons are already in Coh2 but there are a mess, some squad squad pick a better version of the weapon (see Obers) some lesser (see ostruppen). The suggestion is about creating a unified simple system that player can comprehend. This is a design issue how impactful it is a balance issue. Eh honestly "unified simple system" lends itself better to simulator games and less to asymmetric balance. Like I said, you could easily make it a "unified simple system" by having a base weapon profile with increased/ decreased accuracy, reload, c/d based on the recieving unit's "proficiency" value. Things like firing on the move can be a perk that is attributed to every top tier elite squad. But then you have issues with balance. It's fine when every army has similar squad sizes and such like in MoW, but with a game like CoH you have imbalances in things like that that make fine tuning necessary. You get to a point where you simplify the CoH out of CoH. I'm all for making these individual stats easier to read but too much astroturfing and removal of all scary RNG factors is going to make a game that is less enjoyable in general. In: COH3 Central

Thread: Design: Small arm fire 27 Sep 2021, 11:37 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2021, 11:32 AMVipper Dropping a weapon and not being able to pick it up usually happens when someone overstretches his troops. From my point of view there is little wrong being punished for it. A little bit like an overextended tank being abandoned and not being able to deal the final killing blow? The only reason I know of that weapon drop RNG is accepted while abandon RNG is not is because weapon drops are less impactful while tank abandons are more so. And yet you want to make weapon drops more impactful too? I don't understand. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Design: Small arm fire 27 Sep 2021, 11:26 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2021, 10:52 AMVipper Bonuses/penalties should probably include accuracy/CD and reload since not all weapon benefit equally from accuracy (see flamers). This change would also allow slot weapons to balanced and easier compared for mainline infantry that would have no penalties or bonuses. The number could easily be called "proficiency" and include those numbers as well. But we're getting into the territory of being penalized for upgrading troops because if you lose the weapon and some enemy elite troops pick it up you're now down a weapon and the enemy got it for free. I'm already certain that tourney players would be crying about this, like abandons. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Design: Small arm fire 27 Sep 2021, 10:44 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2021, 12:35 PMVipper Imo Squad should be separated into categories and have slot weapon receive bonuses or penalties accordingly. I like the Men of War system where every unit has a set of stats for how well they handle a weapon. For example, a "border militia" russian soldier (first tier infantry) has a "1" in accuracy to all weapons besides the one he's equipped with, the rifle, which is "2" (the number is a flat modifier to accuracy so it doesn't exactly translate but you get the idea) Whereas the elite Marines troops have a "4" in accuracy to weapons besides the one they're trained on, which would be "5". How could this be applied to CoH3? Weapon profiles could be slightly modified by a similar accuracy number. Say, riflemen are t1 infantry for example, and since something like panzergrenadiers come later maybe they are t2 infantry so they get a higher number. EDITED: So basically it's the exact same weapon profile but with an increase to accuracy based on what "tier" of infantry it is and also how familiar they are with that style of weapon. I.E. Shocktroops would probably be more accurate with an MP40 they picked up off the ground than Panserfusiliers would be, because Panzerfusiliers train with rifles and Shocktroops with SMGs. (This is just a hypothetical where panzerfusiliers and shocktroops have the same tier. Obviously this isn't true in game.) In: COH3 Central

This is even without considering Firing Positions. Firing Positions? That's a USF thing. Other factions can't man them. In: Lobby
Thread: USF PATHFINDER really？27 Sep 2021, 10:00 AM then again again it would kinda suck to give USF another unit that only does its job when it's being fed a constant IV drip of munis. Why not make it a 5man squad and keep the fire on the move like commandos? In: COH2 Gameplay
