Thread: USF call-ins should be addressed before the big tournament6 Apr 2017, 20:15 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2017, 13:39 PMluvnest Apart from having to tech up to Battlephase 2 and and build the tech structure and not having a turrent which makes it usefull for about 3 maps in the 1v1 map pool? I'm not sure what you are trying to say to me. I was not comparing the stug to the M10. The are totally different to me. I use stugs on the rare occasion that I play Ost on an open map. I mostly use Armor commander and M10 against scavenge doctrine. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: USF call-ins should be addressed before the big tournament6 Apr 2017, 13:32 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2017, 09:55 AMluvnest I don't understand why you'd compare a T3 Tech unit with a doctrinal unit. This makes a huge diffrence (in 1v1 at least). On topic: I don't see a reason to adress USF callins until the others (OKW Ostwind, Stug E, Command Panther, M4C,...) will be adressed at the same time. He was responding to OP's claim that the M10 is ridiculously cheap, and pointing out that the cost is on par with the Stug G. OP probably wants all allies call-ins tied to tech but all Axis call-ins left alone. Please add the 0 fuel Tiger Ace to your list. Nothing like this ever gets addressed unless someone like you says it is BS. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balancing dropable weapons 6 Apr 2017, 04:11 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Apr 2017, 03:38 AMVaz This is such a confusing thread. Is the complaint about veterency bonuses or the actual weapon? The weapon does not get stronger when picked up by inferior squads. Relic did implement something to make some weapons WEAKER when picked up by inferior squads, but not STRONGER. With Veterency, dropped weapons get stronger in the hands of Axis, they get way more accuracy bonus. The pathfinders do have a unique bonus, but they aren't that common on the battlefield at vet3. The complaint is about RE's and their vet bonus. In: COH2 Gameplay

Do you mind rephrasing your whole idea? That'd be awesome. He thinks the Vet 1 bonus of RE's is MASSIVE (gamebreaking) when they pick up a bazooka: Rear Echelon Troops vet 1 +20% accuracy He wants them nerfed BEFORE they pick it up: vet 0 -13% accuracy By the way, Volksgrenadiers -10% received accuracy +30% accuracy, -20% weapon cooldown Passive Healing, -10% received accuracy +20% sight range, +15% accuracy -20% cooldown, -30% reload Their bonus is +45%, however, it is balanced because allies 120% >> axis 145% This should definitely be added to the next patch, assuming that it is in scope.

Thread: Airborne company5 Apr 2017, 12:03 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2017, 06:19 AMVipper IF one want to make USF doctrinal infantry more attractive one need to tone down riflemen and not buff the the doctrinal infantry. 1) This isn't buffing pathfinders to be a replacement, it's making them useful without being a replacement. 2) You already got a nerf to rifles and the Stuart. Nerf them any more and USF will fall apart. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Airborne company5 Apr 2017, 06:10 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Mar 2017, 14:07 PMMr.Smith It's a bit difficult to have enough screentime for 3 specialist AI-only units (Pathfinders, Thompson Paras and LMG Paras) that offer zero AT utility, when the faction already has access to the best mainline infantry, and they have no AI issues to begin with. Recon Company's vision of Pathinders as a utility unit seems more coherent than a "hey, let's strap another AI only unit in the roster" implementation of Airborne. Given that beacons are Paratrooper's main feature, it should be more affordable to field a Pathfinder & Paratrooper mixed army. For Paratroopers, the simplest change I would make is allow Paratrooper-equipped support weapons to reinforce near beacons. Pathfinders just need to be cheaper scout units, and provide the utility necessary to complement Paratroopers. I don't know: - Smoke artillery callins? - Allow Paratroopers to retreat to Pathfinders (in friendly territory only)? - Lay mines? (or let Airborne paras also lay mines?) Maybe this: Popcap to 1/model plus 1 for the squad (5 when called in - pop cap is part of what ruins these) Cost -decrease 240-260, 30 to reinforce Abilities: mines, beacons, smoke barrage Decrease weapon slots to 1 (so that people don't abuse barfinders with lower cost) - this would make sure that they are only scouts as barfinders work much better with 2 bars Make this change, change MG to 1 cp, AT gun to 3 (either of them for 75 muni's) and commander would be more viable. Would still need to buff P47 to make viable in 4v4's but would probably be solid commander in 1v1 and 2v2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will the ZIS bug ever be fixed ?5 Apr 2017, 00:50 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Apr 2017, 00:10 AMPedro_Jedi Never saw that. Got any replays? How did this happen? Would the replay need to be current? This happened to me once and I might have saved it. If you can use an old replay then I'll look for it. IIRC, the gun should have been decrewed but wasn't. I don't know how. I couldn't move it, even with merging a con squad into it. The ZIS sat in the middle of the map and still shot like normal. PS - I don't know how to make this happen. It just happens once in awhile, and not often enough that it seems like it is worth letting the gun get decrewed. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Can we stop loiters from going beyond circles?4 Apr 2017, 03:12 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2017, 19:55 PMDangerous-Cloth It can hit heavies, if you keep mediums still, it will never hit them lol I did have a P47 strike kill a KT that was around half health last week. I made the mistake of backing up and then every shot hit. Might have been funny if I had the fuel to bring in another one. It rarely hits PIV's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Swap PIV&Panther OKW to WEHR4 Apr 2017, 02:22 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2017, 16:21 PMcapiqua With the recent and upcoming nerf Cromwell and Comets, maybe this survey will move the threads to make it possible; swap PIV & Panthers OKW to WEHR tanks. Currently there is a huge request to improve PIV and panther WEHR. OKW has heavy to stop allies and this change is not detrimental. We have in our hands the balance of coh2 Most people here probably want the OST PIV and PV to have the same stats as the OKW ones, and probably at the current OST prices. The next patch is going to be a significant UKF nerf, why bother with the poll? In: COH2 Gameplay
