Thread: Scott in LT or CP as the OKW Walking stuka.6 Sep 2019, 17:46 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2019, 19:22 PMShadowLinkX37 Is this thread even about the scott and walking stuka anymore? No, it looks like the hope that some 4v4 USF players had for getting something out of this patch turned into the despair of realizing that they're not going to get anything that would help USF and their crutch units are all being nerfed.

Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v46 Sep 2019, 15:39 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2019, 04:29 AMelchino7 Adding to this, any player can "build on top" of the same point another cache. If not, it's more than likely you will have people griefing or QQ-ing because a teammate "stole" a point. It would be nice if this was implemented. In addition, it's probably time to let OKW build caches. Since the resource would only go to the building player, the price should go back down to 200. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USA September patch discussion6 Sep 2019, 11:35 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2019, 05:55 AMCODGUY I've never understood the point of the Greyhound. Friggen 60 fuel and it sucks against a Luchs. The Greyhound starts slow but at Vet 3 is really good against infantry. Vision on it is great at Vet 3 also as is its AA. My biggest complaint about it is that the CP requirement makes it arrive so late that it is hard to vet up against good opponents, or even against mediocre ones in 4v4's. The Puma just requires the light mechanized company which is more the equivalent of having the LT or CPT dispatched or possibly an officer plus side tech. It somehow got overlooked when the balance team was addressing the no-tech callins. Cannister shot has such a long delay that it is worthless, unless your opponent likes to go AFK a lot. They brought it back in name only. It's also badly overpriced for as little damage as it does, which is small compared to similar abilities like the OST sniper's vet ability. Even without that ability, I'd use it a lot more if the call-in requirements were fixed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Changes to Wehrmacht's Storm commander6 Sep 2019, 02:02 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2019, 19:58 PMHon3ynuts For abilities such as the Reigel AT mine, that require a specific unit not built all the time, I think the balance team has had success bundling these commander abilities. Ex: rifleman moltovs AND rifle grenades, Veteran squads applies to pios, Grens and Pgrens. Mp40s and Flamers in Fuersturm ect. Adding an additional ability to the reigel slot might help to give it more utility for when you just don't feel getting a halftrack is the right call. Don't think it really needs additional abilities. It's really good as is. I use it or Jaeger Armor on most of my matches when playing OST. LEFH + smoke + Stuka by itself is a great combination.

Thread: What faction and modus get played most / less!5 Sep 2019, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Sep 2019, 13:10 PMaddvaluejack It is strange that there are least discussions about OST even though it is the most played faction. I don't think it's that strange - when playing Ost, you have a MG that works like a MG should, an AT gun that works like an AT gun should, etc. In short, everything is what you expect it to be when playing it. Teching that is linear and relatively straightforward but still gives you options. It doesn't feel like there are any units to complain about. In: Lobby
Thread: Scott in LT or CP as the OKW Walking stuka.4 Sep 2019, 23:44 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 20:25 PMKoRneY Whether or not the stuka is t1 or t2 or t3, watching this guy troll a balance member is kind of upsetting I'm sure you could always apply to be part of the balance team. The interview probably goes like this: You: Hey, I'm a top 10 player and would like to be part of the balance team! Balance Team: Great! We have one opening currently. It's a very important position and includes being the spokesperson for the balance team. Have you heard of COH2.ORG? I do wonder, based on Andy's comments, if we're going to return to the days when USF was OP in 1v1's but probably the worst in 4v4's. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v44 Sep 2019, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 21:49 PMMr. Someguy Caches are an issue in 3v3 and 4v4 because they can be put far behind friendly lines and generate extra fuel and munitions in addition to the extra amount you get for being on a larger map with more resource points. So all large maps have more resource points? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Caches in 3v3 & 4v44 Sep 2019, 22:11 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 21:04 PMDerKuhlmann Its not fun when games turn into who can spam most panthers and tank destroyers. So maybe turn it up to 350 manpower so its more a risk? Maybe just build your own caches? It's already a risk because early game it always means one less unit on the field. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should Light Gammon bombs/bundles level wooden buildings?4 Sep 2019, 20:21 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2019, 17:03 PMdistrofio Voted yes, but i wanted to ask sincerely. Do flamethrowers in MP burn buildings down like in the campaign? Is there a way to implement this for wooden buildings only? I think thats the cheapes way to demolish pesky garrisons, scorched earth style... Disclaimer: I tested this about a year ago. It could have changed in one of the patches since then. The large brick buildings take 2-3 minutes to start on fire with a single flamer engineer. IIIRC, the time is a little lower for the OST flamer HT. I didn't test the Wasp. It can be done but how often can you spare your engineer for that length of time. The fastest way to take out any building is the simplest: a Sturmtiger. It one-shots just about any building, maybe any building (haven't tried it on the big station in Ettlebruck). Buildings seem to have about the right amount of health now. I wouldn't support a change beyond making demo charge-type abilities destroy them. In: COH2 Gameplay
