Thread: Tier list 1vs1 22 Apr 2020, 19:25 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 18:07 PMDoomlord52 This, however, is extremely disingenuous. I was just poking fun at people's responses to the UKF buffs. I don't actually care that much about Brits. I mostly play them when I'm bored of other factions. They still feel a little weird to play. I don't play a lot of Ost either, but that has more to do with how grens used to get wiped so often due to arty. On a less sarcastic note, I do agree that having a mainline infantry unit unbalanced is somewhat worse than having a doctrinal unit unbalanced. In: COH2 Balance

Both arguments are too short sighted (a faction appearing or the results of a series without analysing how each game played). Unfortunately we don't have a huge sample size where we could rely on sheer WR to analyse faction performance. I've not claimed that in any post. I don't know at this point, but then, neither does anyone else. There was really just one very competitive series in the last tournament. With one data point, you can't calculate a standard deviation, much less make any conclusions. As people use UKF more, their understanding of it will change. Just because UKF went 0-2 this tournament final doesn't mean that the next one won't be 5-0 UKF. I've posted more about this lately because the hypocrisy and bias is annoying. When JLI's needed a nerf, it was okay to wait almost a year. Same thing for taking the faust from Falls. In this case, people aren't even waiting for the meta to develop before going batshit crazy about a hotfix. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2v2s just feel like an upward battle for axis22 Apr 2020, 16:39 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 14:59 PMblvckdream I don't feel like Allies are much better in any game mode. The game is somewhat balanced at the moment. A bigger issue is the combination of certain doctrinal units (ISU and Elefant) on maps that don't allow any flanking (Minsk, Kharkov, Rails and Metall, Poltawa etc.) I also think unbalanced maps are a bigger issue than factional balance. North Minsk, Kharkov, Moscow all suck and give you a huge disadvantage. Right now, I feel like the biggest difference between Axis and Allies is that when I play Axis, I'm usually picking a JT to counter an ISU, as opposed to picking an ISU to counter a JT or Ele when I play Allies. At least the nerf to the Pershing worked as intended. It didn't seem that bad the last time I played against it. If I could veto just the north spawn on Minsk, Kharkov, and Moscow, I would in a heartbeat. They're as bad as the right side of Port of Hamburg. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Opinion & suggestions: UKF balancing is overthought.22 Apr 2020, 15:35 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2020, 21:44 PMelchino7 I think this is something which should had been done eons ago but it won't do anything in the current patch as you don't see double weapon wielding IS all that much. It would be a reasonable start. If there were actual play testing or data that proved UKF was still overpowered then you could make UKF pay 50 munis/squad to upgrade instead of the global unlock (or something like that). I have tried UKF multiple times in this patch. So many of the commander abilities are muni-based that upgrades seem like a luxury and I spend the entire game being starved for munitions. The high pop cap of a lot of their units (FF and Churchill seem like they're too much) means that you don't have a lot of units. I've had some good games but I've also had more bad games. For some reason, the small buff to howitzer pop cap has resulted in people building a lot more howitzers. I had one game where the first three shells from somebody's howitzer killed my Vickers, a section, and the sappers repairing a Cromwell. It might be RNG, but it's still difficult to recover from something like that and it usually doesn't happen when I play any other faction. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tier list 1vs1 22 Apr 2020, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 12:52 PMJae For Jett Then say that instead of pointing out that a more or less expected number of players in the top 4 used UKF. My issue isn't that you don't have a point. My issue is that half of the points you bring up are misguided. I don't think there's ever been a previous time where people used the logic that a faction is OP just because people used it in a tournament. It doesn't even matter that said faction went 0-2 in the finals, it's still OP and needs to be nerfed. It won't be "balanced" until nobody uses it again. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Looks Like I Owe Sander An Apology22 Apr 2020, 04:19 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 03:25 AMOutsider_Sidaroth DR is hard to balance since numbers are usually very small, makes knowing the hidden stats even harder, I have no idea if it stacks additively or multiplicatively. I think everything in COH2 is multiplicative. For example, a 2% penetration bulletin takes the base number and multiplies it by 1.02. A PTRS with 80 (or whatever it is) would have 81.6 pen after the bulletin. If it was shooting at something with an armor of 240, it would have had about a 33% chance to pen. With the 2% bulletin, the chance would go to 34%, not 35%. I think RA bonuses work the same way. For example, if a squad had a base 10% and a vet 3 20%, their received accuracy would be 0.8*0.9=.72 at vet 3. The RA numbers end up being a little counter intuitive. With the 0.8 and 0.9 example, you might think you're getting less by stacking since the total RA would be -0.28, but the squad is 1/0.72 = 1.39 or 39% stronger. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 2v2s just feel like an upward battle for axis22 Apr 2020, 01:31 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 00:34 AMKyle Here's my rank: I use 3,4 smurf accounts to play around rank 100 because I feel top 50 are too stressful for me and tbh I'm not that good with that level yet. My apologies, I assumed that the linked was what you're using. I understand using the other accounts. I sometimes have done the same, just at a worse level than yours. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Axis factions get worse with every patch22 Apr 2020, 00:36 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2020, 00:20 AMdistrofio I see you like double standards and got cant face it. People here told you how insignificant some ost buffs are and how relevant the IS actually is. But your spooky math is both wrong and inconsistent. Percentage information is worthless without background. IS having -15 % RA instead of -10 RA means 50% increase. Compared with the absolute value means (90-85)/90 = 5.556 % more durability. It's both a 50% buff AND 5.556 % extra durability. 1) I don't like double standards, and you're anything but an unbiased judge in this. 2) No, it's not a 50% buff. You clearly don't understand how math works or don't understand the difference between multiplication and subtraction. Going from a RA of 0.9 to 0.85 is not a 50% buff. By your retarded logic, if the old RA was 0.99 and the new one was 0.98, you would be screaming that UKF got a 100% buff. It's completely idiotic. In: COH2 Balance

Shouldn't your opinion be based on playing the current patch? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tier list 1vs1 21 Apr 2020, 22:29 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2020, 21:48 PMaerafield what an odd tier list after watching OKW, Ost and Soviet dominating the tournament Having people play Brits, even if they lost 0-2 in the finals, meant that UKF is clearly more OP than some people want them to be. To them, it won't be balanced unless nobody plays Brits, like the last GCS. In: COH2 Balance
