Another way to look at your suggestion might be to make penals come out with 5 men, and then mobilise reserves gives them +2 men, making total of 7 for late game. IMO no other tweaks would be needed then and it seems an elegant solution. Helps incentivise going for MR when it helps both penals and cons, plus with 5 man penals and ptrs changes they'll still be reasonable deterrent Vs light vehicles in early game. I like the suggestion of having them come out with 5 men for something like 270 mp. Some of the RA bonus might need to be transferred to vet 0. They start too slow and bleed too much in larger game modes. They shouldn't get 7 models with MR. MR should lower the reinforce cost and add the sixth man. Also, they should get some type of sight bonus and camo with the PTRS. That would also help with MP bleed and would turn an otherwise lackluster unit into something more useful. It would also help offset the ISU nerf. In: COH2 Balance

If unit is not cost effective individually building more of them makes thing worse not better. Penals usually aren't cost efficient in 4v4. The reinforce cost is too much. They're okay at the start, particularly against OKW, not so much against Ost. I've never found less than three to work okay, so yes, building more makes it better, at least up until three.

People please stop with the mds. All factors from the spam period have been nerfed hard. Now it will become usable for muni cost per use. It doesnt deserve the same mp price as the mg42. So do we nerf the mg42/43 instead? They lock down an area even better for the same or less mp and less muni. It takes 3 maxims to lock down one of the outside lanes on Red Ball. It takes 2 MG42's or MG34's to do the same, but those will work much better than the three maxims. Also, if you go with three maxims, expect that a walking stuka will wipe two of them in the first shot. It seems like they should be either a lot cheaper or should do their job somewhat competently.

But I think this is a silly idea, there is no reason to turn two unique units into one. The satchels would get replaced by the AT nade volley. The range on the satchels is too low to be usable against anything but a computer. Call the idea sill if you need to, but the proposed unit is still not going to be good for competitive play. Also, as FunPolice pointed out, you typically can't afford more than 3 penals, so turning one of them into a PTRS penal really hurts late game. Alternatively, if they could stow the PTRS and go back to their normal weapons then the upgrade would be worthwhile. It would need to work like the minesweeper on Sturmpios. In: COH2 Balance

I didn't think it was worth testing 2 Elite Zook on Paras. Not sure how you see them doing similarly when they had the most reliable and best performance overall. Maybe you refer for cost and that would be correct. But zooks on RET ha a high variance on dmg, as they often failed to pen and they barely survived all the incoming damage. Not sure if i perfectly aligned them in front of the PV so they get hit by all MGs with 100% uptime. I was normalizing on cost. There was 150 muni's of zooks on the rangers, versus 120 in shreks, 100 in piats or zooks on RE's. The 150 barely outperformed the 120, and was about 50% better than the standard zooks on RE's. The balance team should consider giving PTRS penals the same type of camo and AT nades that tank hunter Cons get. They're just going to get shredded otherwise. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback29 Dec 2020, 00:28 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Dec 2020, 00:02 AMelchino7 ..... Was this 2 zooks on the RET's, 2 shreks, 2 piats? The rangers looked like they did a lot better, but if it was 3 vs 2 then they really didn't do very different than RET's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion27 Dec 2020, 18:19 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2020, 12:50 PMSgtJonson Is there anything that could be done about grenade warnings? Because i feel like its still happening a lot of times that my squad gives the warning way too late or not at all. Not at all might be an exagregation, not sure anymore about my last matches. It happens to me at times also. My guess is that it has more to do with the lag in the online game. Any patch that they make for it would likely make the game buggier. It doesn't happen to me in comp stomps so I don't think it is the game itself. In: COH2 Balance

Has anyone tried changing the pack howie to attack ground and barrage only? With this, give it the same attack ground range as barrage, but maybe increase it to 100 like the 120mm (ISG also?). It would make it a lot better against things like bunker spam and there would be no more micro-less damage from it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback24 Dec 2020, 19:16 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 20:05 PMKT610 Could Conscripts be made to throw molotovs at a reasonable speed, in their current state it takes far too long. The argument that keeps being used is that the molotov starts damaging when it hits, instead of having the timer. The problem with that argument is that the DPS from the molotov starts low so you would have to sit in the flames awhile to do much of anything. It ends up making molotov's nearly worthless until cons have vet. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] SOV Feedback24 Dec 2020, 19:13 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2020, 20:43 PMMr Carmine Ime soviets struggle harder in 4s then in 1s.... I agree, with the addition that the AA nerf to the Quad probably should be accompanied by a price decrease. I have occasionally seen where it shoots down a plane immediately. However, in the previous version it took forever, especially for a unit that you only buy for the AA ability. The 2 to 3 revert probably should be have went to 4 or 5. Also, the SU76's vet 3 bonuses should be more like the Puma's - take out the barrage improvement and give it mobility and damage. That would make it more of a choice, as it would be decent at vet 3, assuming that you could get it to vet 3. It also seems strange that the ISU is considered a balance problem but the Brummbar isn't. They both wipe squads in the same number of shots, but the Brummbar arrives much earlier and is non-doctrinal. It forces a retreat on almost every shot as the combination of one medium AOE and one long is enough to kill any model, so the chances of not getting wiped in two shots are small. I use both - the ISU doesn't seem that great until it gets vet, while the Brummbar is good at vet0. Also, with 800HP and over 200 armor, the Brummbar makes a good damage sponge. In: COH2 Balance
