Thread: Vickers K for UC is bad28 Sep 2015, 18:08 PM My first impression of this upgrade was "it should be innately suppressive" in the quadmount M5 sense. 60 munitions is a lot at any stage of a game, and for an upgrade that costs that much just to unlock another munitions ability that does it for a short time makes for inefficient upgrade compared to Wasp upgrade, which might not suppress, but does area damage and area denial due to lingering flames. SUre it's 90 munitions instead of 60, but at least you're not bleeding 10 munitions per UC for what your HMG unit can do for free, costing only manpower, and do it forever as long as the squad is not dead.

Thread: OKW Incendiary grenade needs to be looked at28 Sep 2015, 08:06 AM Posts in this thread make a point: there's no harm to a 1-2 second countdown timer after being thrown, especially if the target is a crew weapon that takes the same time to pack up and (try) to leave the target area. And of course a timer makes no difference if the target is an emplacement that can't move at all. I could have sworn the grenade has a cooldown as well, though I've never needed to throw so many nades in such a short time, most of the time I bring another Volksgrenadier squad to throw a second one quickly.

Thread: Emplacements and mortar HT27 Sep 2015, 04:45 AM As far as I am concerned Mortar Halftrack is hardcounter to emplacements of all types, and should stay as such. This can only be the same as complaining Riflemen can't beat Tiger, so Tiger should get nerfed. Ostheer players pays a lot to get a hardcounter that's very vulnerable to literally every other asset a British player has on hand, besides emplacements. ANd like others have said, such an option only occurs if s/he picked the right commander and saved the fuel and manpower for it, AND works hard to preserve the halftrack from easy destruction- they lose the halftrack, they are done, and at 30 fuel less, too. Also, last I played, emplacements were decrewed with damaged, so it is possible to salvage the situation. Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2015, 09:04 AMAustralian Magic About the realism, if you have a hole in the ground, covered by sandbags, with 2 steel mortars and few people, what's gonna burn like crazy? Sand? Steel? Ground? If I had to guess, it's probably the magnesium, phosphorous or thermite that is the payload of the incendiary weapon in question. Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2015, 17:47 PMChocoboknight88 While we are on the topic of Flames, they really ought to revert the Flames sticking around for 20 seconds. I was using a Wasp while defending my Forward Supply Station and it got caught in the DOT. I was helpless as I watched my building burn down from my own Wasp's three second burst... Serves you right for being so haphazard with the Queen's flamethrower...and destroying Crown property while you're at it, too! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Are the stock UKF commanders trash?27 Sep 2015, 04:42 AM They're obviously bait for the DLC ones. But IMO, no they're not trash, just clearly there to promote buying the other ones. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Royal Engineer as starting unit 27 Sep 2015, 04:40 AM Universal Carrier can self-repair at vet1. Yes it require vet1 first, but we're not exactly talking about the game's worst T0 vehicle, either. That alone justifies keeping Infantry Section as starting unit. OP also forgets that Infantry Section is the one that builds caches. That might not be important in a 1v1 PvP, but that's still a point worth making. Overall I think the idea merits a try through a mod, is it possible to change starting unit to a different one through mods? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: An idea to improve Rear Echelon23 Sep 2015, 04:39 AM Or just make Volley Fire a vet1 ability and work pre-nerf. Or replace VF with Critical Repair. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Stormtroopers - Ostheer's Orphans22 Sep 2015, 21:44 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2015, 16:09 PMVuther Their StGs need a cost reduction when Obers can get some to mostly ignore cover at a much cheaper cost. Don't Obers' IR MP44 only provide 2x weapons? At current 60 munitions cost that's just 30 munitions, compared to Stormtroopers' 4x MP44x at 100. That makes the latter's cost (plus ability unlock) actually cheaper, albeit at a measly 5 munitions since 25 munitions per weapon for Stormtroopers. IMO Storms should ahve just gone for regular G43s and gain the tactical advance ability straight on, whereas the MP44s is the Infrared one. In: COH2 Gameplay

Most vehicles have sight range vet buffs, I'd rather something more useful like IR halftrack or camouflage than just more sight range. Assault Engineers already do what you suggest to buff RETs. An unlock that relies entirely on your T0 infantry to reach vet3, and then to actually spend munitions to make use of it, is almost as horrible as Trip Wire Flares. 76mm would just compete with Jackson, and still lose.

An unlock that unlocks a particular upgrade, but only for a particular call-in unit? Chaffee is basically Stuart mated with Sherman USF doesn't do emplacements, that's why they have 105mm Sherman.

Funny. Unlock that literally serves to bypass research. You know what, I'm stopping here. No point scrutinizing what are just ideas to introduce new units for the sake of new units. Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2015, 16:29 PMBeefSurge 0 CP-Forward Medical Detachment: deploys a WC51 jeep crewed by medics, does not have a turret. Opens up opportunities to skip the ambulance while giving options to improve mobility. 5 CP-Waco Logistics Glider: deploys a huge Waco supply glider to the battlefield. Locks down friendly territory it's in, allows reinforcement of troops around it, has weapon racks, and boosts income of territory it's in. How does the "FMD" improve mobility options just by skipping ambulance? And wouldn't the tradeoff demand more fuel for the call-in unit? Be quite a cheat to offer a commander ability that allows non-fuel vehicle call-in, even if it's just ambulance clone. If anything it should be regular WC51 with option to upgrade for medical role, at least then it justifies a early vehicle strat with fuel penalties. The glider ideas sounds overpowered, even if it also doesn't sound like British idea ripoff. IMO weapon racks and combat boosts to radius or even sector wide is good enough, the other benefits are already available by way of caches, Major and ambulance. To give it logistics themed, the radius buff could affect recharge or munitions costs instead of being Soviet FHQ clone. Jump back to quoted post22 Sep 2015, 18:55 PMThe Big Red 1 you really think pershing shud be like the tiger ace? if i recall the allies had the advantage in massive material while axis were experiencing ALOT supply shortages. i think the pershing shud just be like the IS-2; just a regular heavy tank that can only be deployed one at a time A commander featuring vet3 Pershing call-in should be like Tiger Ace, but other commander ideas could use the regular heavy tank limit but vet0. But that depends entirely on how Pershing performs compared to other USF units, it can't just be a Sherman/ Jackson combo, even Tiger isn't Panther/Panzer4 combo. In: COH2 Gameplay
