"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: Why don't axis factions get access to demo charges?2 Nov 2022, 19:33 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2022, 14:41 PMWilly Pete Cuz if they dont need them y change it??? UR reason could not be more silly: Bro. You are all over the place. Pick your excuse and stick to it at least. Either necessity doesn't matter or it matters. You start off posting "do they need them?" and then you switch to an argument about "bro it's just game design" and then you get angry at me for pointing that out. But y stop at demos.... I like teller mines too. I also like having stock rocket arty. I also like having free AA when i play OKW Of course they arent, but i dont think relic was changing design just cuz they liked too... IT was for balance reasons The idea is that you take something away, but you give it back in another way. Which relic kind of failed at lmao (obviously not just in this regard). Sure, OST can open up new paths and destroy buildings with the satchel, but they don't have huge anti-blob potential without the demo. Simple question, is demos being only available stock to soviet CEs a balance issue? Are we switching back to the necessity argument now? Yes, I guess it is, considering what theekvn said.

Thread: Why don't axis factions get access to demo charges?2 Nov 2022, 04:51 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2022, 03:58 AMtheekvn let saying, Weh get demo: - How can Soviet attack if every corner, shotblock is demo despite Cons already weaker than Gren. How does axis attack if every corner, shotblock is demo? Because they're too cost prohibitive to just stick it un every bush and shotblocker the enemy could possibly go through. - Destroy shotblock, garrison give Ost huge advantage on both defend and offense by favor line of sight, long range attack on openfield. That why Heavy Jeager doctrine which give Pios C4 charge is fucking OP. Now this one didn't even cross my mind. Honestly I'd only ever used demos to blow garrisons. I didn't even think of blowing up the bushes on Redball to flank MGs. That's pretty brilliant. Also yeah good point. Well, only one disagreement. Only axis panther, heavy TDs (and jagdpanzer and stug but nobody on allied side will complain about those for good reason lmao) get the kind of range advantage that could make destroying shot blockers OP. But on the other hand, those same vehicles can often crush those shotblockers anyways. Plus pak 43 already shoots through all world objects anyways. You're right. Being able to destroy those shot blockers and cancel out flanking paths wouldn't really be that great after all for game balance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why don't axis factions get access to demo charges?2 Nov 2022, 03:56 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2022, 03:35 AMWilly Pete No. U cut out the top 2/3 of my argument and ignored it And ur not even getting the point of that sentence right, the whole point is that neccessity has nothing to do with it. What are you talking about. That was literally your first four words posted to this thread: "Do they need them?" If necessity has nothing to do with it then why even say that. The reason why I didn't mention the rest of the argument is because I didn't have anything to say about it. The answer is obvious: no. But relic made a design choice... You know just as well as me that the game is almost nothing like it was when it first started out. It's not like these design choices are written commandments or something. I dont get focusing on demos when ther is tons of examples of factions not getting things that others do...? Because I like them and I don't see why only allies should have access to them. Simple as.

Its just a design/flavor choice So your argument as to why CE need demo charges is that it's unique? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why don't axis factions get access to demo charges?1 Nov 2022, 23:09 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Nov 2022, 22:46 PMOKSpitfire Yeah, it isn't possible for one to fully wipe a squad like a demo charge as far as i know, but if you can get multiple squads to stand on one before it goes off, it will do heavy damage to all of them. It would probably be OP if it worked like a demo charge or a goliath. You can't have a squad "stand on one". It really is dependent on rng too. In: COH2 Balance

Have had squads die to well placed Ober in retreat path. Off topic but booby traps have this neat feature where as long as you stay in the capture zone it won't go off, so you can use this to pick when you want the booby trap to go off. I do like booby traps to be completely fair. In: COH2 Balance

I can instakill buildings now. It's alright I guess. Not vanilla though. Demo charges are almost exclusively used to cheese people, and are visible to enemies without sweepers. Correct. But that doesn't mean they aren't fun to use or useful I think wehr/okw can live without them Probably. In: COH2 Balance
