Thread: Nerf the DAMN SECTOR ASSAULT22 Feb 2019, 14:13 PM yes 250mu, but the ability to be at the same time AT and AI is bullshit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer MG/Early21 Feb 2019, 16:17 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2019, 15:11 PMVipper This comparison is simply misleading: 1) Dhsk/0.50 AP round are VET 0, HMG-34 HMG-42 are VET 1. 2) Dhsk/0.50 AP round can counter the the Luch light tank and shred 221,222, 250,251. The HMG-34/HMG-42 can not counter the Stuart/T-70 light tanks. AP round is a superior ability but that does not make HMG-42 better at countering light vehicles especially since allied light are generally more durable, so no I do not agree that MG42 is better at countering light vehicles. 0.50 doesn't counter Luch or you have to be afk. I'll call it soft counter at the maximum. Then you're bullshitting hard here since .50 and dhsk are hitting the field not really sooner than LVs, having their ability tied to vet1 would simple make it obsolete. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Poll: Do you honestly think that blobs should be nerfed?20 Feb 2019, 14:20 PM Nope, they shouldn't be nerfed with such solutions because all factions aren't equal in term of diversity. I think one of the challenging question about blob is how to make countermeasures effective vs blob without making them godly vs single units. A good example of that is the use of demo charge. The other point is simple, why other strategies fail to achieve what blob can do. I'll say that Coh2 game mechanisms being reduced to what they are in comparison to vCoh1 (excluding PE/Brit) make blob much easier to perform and less punitive. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How is the game state for people right now?19 Feb 2019, 15:01 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Feb 2019, 12:39 PMVipper In my personal opinion the game is going in wrong direction with powerful infantry early on that can brutally and frontally attack the enemy. Or powerful light vehicles that simply hold too much shock value. The use of combined arm has simply been lowered. The fire fights simply last a sort period and do not actually allow tactical movement to have meaningful impact. I can't disagree with that, my feeling is that we went from late game heavy call-in meta to light/medium call-in meta to infantry call-in meta. But my biggest concern is about the Balance team not willing at all to remove the 100 manpower OKW get for free early game and reduce by 100 the total cost of their trucks. This would solve so many issues in one shot. In: Lobby

Thread: Overwatch flare ability18 Feb 2019, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Feb 2019, 15:54 PMStug life they are very different 1 was free permanent the other only works 1 time on capped territory As I said, trigger the flare, walk out of the circle, come back and the flare is triggered a new time.

Thread: Overwatch flare ability18 Feb 2019, 12:27 PM Hi, I was wondering if there was any particular reasons for this ability to be entirely free free from any setup time free from any resource cost I can understand why something like sandbags are free as they require some time to install but I fail to find a logical reason for the Overwatch flares and huge vision provided by them every time you enter a flag circle to cost nothing. Yes because it is not even only about capping, sometime you just want to reach a point being enemy lines and you trigger the flare because a model walks into the circle. It also happen that you trigger the flare, walk outside and then walk again inside and re-trigger the flare that is installed automatically (magically) again. I had a situation when I was uncapping a point and my opponent probably pickup Overwatch at that time and the flare setup while the point was already neutral (but maybe it is a bug or already been corrected, it was some weeks ago). I any way Intelligence is important in the game and I don't see any reason to have this ability providing a lot of vision does not require at least micro and time to be setup as for sandbags. This should be at least the minimum even if I personally think that this ability should also have a munition fee. I'm maybe wrong but I can't see any other free vision ability given from commanders. Or it cost munition like other kind of flares or plane loiters/run or it cost to call a unit on the field with increase range sigh. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Recon Support this patch16 Feb 2019, 21:38 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Feb 2019, 20:53 PMKatitof Now, on the topic, I'm pretty confused about why PACK howi was nerfed, understand why it was added instead of ATG, but why the nerf is beyond me, it isn't exactly "tanky", is extremely situational and just doesn't have a place in game in current form at all with T0 mortar and T3 scott. it is called preventive nerf hammer.

Thread: Recon Support this patch14 Feb 2019, 09:53 AM Yeah the idea to tying the M8 to tech is a bit silly on its own. We'll probably see a "command M8" poping out next patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript Utility11 Feb 2019, 10:39 AM I'm pretty sure removing that 100 manpower OKW get for free early game would do good for all. Actually it allows OKW to outspam any other faction with a 4th volks without downsides. This change would give Soviet more presence on the field with Cons. In: COH2 Balance
