Thread: Reduce Price of WC-5125 May 2016, 06:36 AM I rather it just have a bunch of abilities that make up for its cost. At present it is simply a M20/ Halftrack hybrid that fails to be better than either in any way. That's of course my own opinion, but I do think a more objective fact is that in its current state it's largely a 1v1/ 2v2 sort of unit. If it had something like an upgrade that makes it work like ambulance, then that might be something else. I personally would like some of the more bland units to feature some utility that makes them remotely useful in late-game, even if it's something like increasing sight range, locking down sectors and cloak and so forth. Being lacklustre combat units that are obsolete once tiers start being available, they're the most logical units to be used in that situation- no one wants to risk a tank for that sort of duty, right?

Thread: What makes Bofors unpleasant to fight?25 May 2016, 02:03 AM The Bofors can do a lot of things. It can shred infantry and light vehicles, it might lose to a Panzer 4 but would take a great chunk of health down first, and has brace so if t is in a tough spot, it will be braced so that an AT gun can finish off the threat, and comes at T2. It also can do an indirect barrage that not only inflicts high damage, but also suppression. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Imperial Japanese Army proposed faction25 May 2016, 00:49 AM Jump back to quoted post23 May 2016, 16:24 PMkikiribukiriki Anyways what sort of features would you like to see in a Japanese faction? Personally I forgot to include a tunneling network to communicate infantry between base buildings, command posts and so on. I wrote up a rather long idea on an IJA faction, but it was primairly for a CoH3 game where it faces off against US Marines, so any ideas it has wouldn't really work against something like Germans or Brits. Off the top of my head some ideas were: -IJA infantry are defensive oriented like Ostheer, can heal when out of combat and unit design is compartmentalized: ie a unit can fill up to 2-3 different roles with variable degrees of potency, though not in everything (ie they cannot be great in both short+long ranges) -No snipers, but regular units can utilize marksman that allow for sniper-like abilities -Tanks, like infantry, can have multiple roles but in turn are fragile and not particularly powerful. Ie, a Chi-Ha is suitable against light armour and infantry, and can toggle to be a pillbox sort of unit, but generally lacks durability. In particular, the reason why no snipers is because in all intents and purposes, there wasn't much of a sniper program among the Japanese, simply because the way battles were fought did not require the kind of snipers we know of from Europe WW2/ modern. The whole snipers in trees isn't common, and in many US reports of snipers, weren't bonafide snipers: any unseen hostile fire can be reported as sniper, even if it's just a hidden machine gunner shooting off one round. The workaround on that is to simply design whose main infantry are about precision firepower, which dispenses with the need for sniper units entirely. How that might work in a CoH3 I haven't really thought out though, the word doc I wrote on a Jap faction isn't finished. In: Lobby

Thread: Imperial Japanese Army proposed faction23 May 2016, 11:07 AM Japanese faction in general? Yes sure why not. For CoH2? No The way you have it? No, it's far too similar to Ostheer and general faction design, it's a great opportunity to develop something more radical and asymmetric. In: Lobby
Thread: Ostheer repair bunker upgrade23 May 2016, 10:26 AM The repair speed buffs seemed to be on the basis on the following: OKW have super tanks and few squads to repair them, so their idea is one Sturmpionier can perform as 2-3 Pioniers; Brits have poor economy so similar to OKW, fewer sappers to perform the repairs. Of course what wasn't taken into account was the option to just train more of Sturms and sappers and blitz repair, a strategy that can also work for Soviets and Ostheer but obviously far more efficient. I don't mind Ostheer and Soviet minesweepers getting repair buffs, it' still a munitions sink, and unless you also give the ability to swap, there's a clear strategic drawback as one less guy (and slot) for shooting. I'm mixed on the idea though: it does feel better to get buffs to repair stuff faster, but it is equally infuriating to critical a heavy tank but the enemy just blitz repairs it; if Ostheer/ Soviets get repair buffs, then it needs to also come with criticals having to ALWAYS be repaired last, with the only exceptions being OKW's Emergency Repairs, and USF's Critical Repair.

Thread: Commander/Doctrine Suggestions for Change and Hope21 May 2016, 01:46 AM Allied Supply Drop is basically munitions for fuel, and drops in base. The Ostheer version is like 150 manpower for either munitions or fuel, but require a munitions or fuel point to drop. If here's going to be some Allied supply thing for Soviets, I'd just make it a resource conversion by time similar to Redistribute Resources; you spend X amount of manpower now, and your munitions and/or fuel income is raised so that it gains Y amount of said resources over Z amount of time. What you don't get is an immediate conversion of X for Y without any factoring for Z. This doesn't require any micromanagement, and also doesn't break team games because it only affects you. No nonsense that involves planes or crates or where they go. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer and OKW Share same Skins20 May 2016, 09:07 AM I suppose a modder can just apply the skins to the other faction. Seeing as how some units are identical I can't imagine it being that hard. Maybe an issue if they were DLC skins, but then again it's not like they'll make Voronezh Front skins for King Tiger. The MWNL skins for example are all identical, the only real difference is that they have (un)interesting texts for each faction. I'd expected them to just make them applicable to all factions.
