"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: Making M-42's canister shot more player friendly13 Jan 2022, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2022, 15:36 PMHannibal Looks like a very minor issue, however automatically setting the engagement mode to all targets would probably be benefitial. Not sure how well it turns out with other shell switch abilities where the target is not as clearly defined as here. The most important thing is probably to keep it consistent. No to making it a single shot ability though. That would make it somewhat similar to the ZiS barrage in terms of functionality. Regarding the cannister shot in general, I think there could be some range regained with vet, so that spamming them is not oppressive since they need to stay in range of small arms themselves at vet. At vet 1-2, when medium tanks arrive and the usability of the M42 diminishes both regarding tanks as well as against better infantry squads and upcoming elites, it could maybe get a small range buff of +5-10 to reinforce the AI role and make it less vulnerable. I thought this whole board's warcry was "consistency!". Target tables are a no go because interaction between squads becomes inconsistent, faction asymmetry is ok but only when everyone has consistent access to the same tools, and so on. Tell me how consistent it would be for a shell switch changing the target priority on your selected unit? Sure, the M42 won't be doing any damage against tanks with its AI rounds, but neither does the Sherman, and it keeps its prioritization settings anyways. And if you do make those consistent between each other, then the ISU is the odd man out because its AI shells CAN do damage to tanks (at least as far as I remember, unless I'm mixing it up with the KV-2). Hell, though, if I am wrong about the ISU then screw it, disable vehicle prioritization while in AI shells mode for all of them. I don't really see the downside. In: Lobby
Thread: Making M-42's canister shot more player friendly12 Jan 2022, 19:38 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2022, 18:23 PMVipper When you install and load COH2 you might discovery that canister shots are not an AI ability but switchable shells. Now if in your opinion there a valid reason why an AI shells should be set to fire only on vehicles feel free to provide it. Well if we're going for consistency, every other entity in the game that has a shell switch and not a timed ability doesn't mess with your target prioritization settings. ISU and Sherman for example.

Yeah I've got a RTX 2070 SUPER, 16 GB RAM, and a Ryze 3600 CPU and the game has low framerate even on low. Think it's just poor optimization though. EDIT: I take that back, it's a 3500.

Thread: Diversion10 Dec 2021, 19:17 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Dec 2021, 15:21 PMVipper Can we also change the name which imo is not good at all? What makes you say that? I think the name makes sense. I guess that against human players it kinda does the opposite though. No sense in focusing fire on an officer unit with -20% rec. acc realistically. If I were to make an ability named "diversion", I would give the squad decreased cooldown and increased rate of fire, but make it much more inaccurate (so that you get a visual effect of the squad trying to make as much noise as possible but also not making them better at combat) and then in return they have less recieved accuracy. Maybe even move a little faster. Could be really good for an SMG squad closing the distance. Anyways yeah if you give it to SMG squads it would be pretty nice. Veterancy buffs to it are nice as well. Only thing to keep in mind is that these SMG troops were already balanced with the approach in mind. Having an ability that gives -20% rec. acc. on command might be a bit much, wouldn't you say?

Thread: My real problem with COH39 Dec 2021, 21:55 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Dec 2021, 21:20 PMDonnieChan How about a fun tourney with a 100% abandon chance mod. I'd watch that I made a tuning pack that switched abandon chance to like 80% a month ago. Only issue is I had no idea the modding tools were outdated so the tanks have old stats because of it.

Thread: My real problem with COH39 Dec 2021, 20:16 PM At the very least I can agree with you that CoH3's USF recovery machine is absolutely insane. You want to talk about "punishing offensive gameplay"? Now THAT's what punishing offensive gameplay looks like. In: Lobby
Thread: My real problem with COH39 Dec 2021, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Dec 2021, 19:51 PMGachiGasm As far as I see, its cons outweights the pros, sure it happens rarely but when it happens you either dont care about it, or it shift the game in one RNG roll. That's what forum posters on here seem to forget about the other portion of the people who play the game. Not everyone is so fixated on RNG making or breaking the game. I play to have fun. Abandons are fun. Simple as. And there are plenty others like me who play CoH2 just as much as you and I do. In: Lobby
Thread: My real problem with COH39 Dec 2021, 18:41 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Dec 2021, 15:50 PMGachiGasm No its not, not in a single way its a good mechanic. Not from pro-players perspective, not from the casual perspective. Speak for yourself. I am a casual player, and from my perspective it's a good mechanic because it's fun and doesn't happen often enough so that it's a big issue, but happens rarely enough so that when it does happen it's kind of an exciting moment.
