Thread: Commander for team games in current meta?19 Oct 2015, 08:27 AM Currently running: Blizkrieg - (All good abilities here) Spearhead Mechanized - (Smoke Bombs, Panzer Command Tank, LeFH, and Spotting Scopes are all really good) I like these two as well: Jaeger Armour Assault Support In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: OH recent buffs. Justification?19 Oct 2015, 08:17 AM IMO, the Ostheer/Soviet matchup is pretty good right now. My only complaints are the following, and they're not major: - Soviet T1 is bad - Penal Squads are really bad - 222 is illogically useless against infantry - Soviet linear T3-T4 teching is boring imo. I'd like to see them get their flexibility back - Either A) Soviet T4 isn't useful enough in the current meta or B) Soviet T3 is too useful in the current meta - Brummbar is bad - I don't like Demo Charges and wish they'd get removed or reworked - The usual plethora of bad doctrines, abilties, and veterancy bonuses that need to be looked at. On the other hand, I think USF is probably too strong right now in 1v1. Their current mid-game options are pretty brutal vs. Ostheer, maybe even without the overperforming Pack Howitzer.

Thread: Jagdpanzer IV Penetration17 Oct 2015, 23:46 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2015, 23:32 PMferwiner To begin with, it is the very first medium to hit the field no matter how you count fuel, that is it also comes biefore the stug. Yes, although I'm not sure if that's relevant. Giving it more penetration isn't exactly going to make it overpowering in the early-game when the best-armoured vehicle around is a Stuart. What's more it counters all the other medium tanks. Yes, but it can be circle-strafed (not that it should be), is completely useless against infantry and (ignoring its teching costs) is rather expensive relative to other medium tanks and tank destroyers. Long story short - this change would only boost the Jagdpanzer's performance against a few Allied units like the Churchill. Its effectiveness against medium tanks would be more-or-less unchanged. And keep in mind that, with the OKW fuel penality, this vehicle costs as much as two StuGs (against, ignoring teching costs). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jagdpanzer IV Penetration17 Oct 2015, 20:50 PM Was just looking at some stats after a recent match - which involved a lot of Churchill tanks - and discovered that the Jagdpanzer IV has the same penetration as the StuG III. Since the Jagdpanzer IV is a rather expensive and very specialized vehicle - not to mention that it used the KwK42 L/70 gun in real life (the same gun the Panther tank used) rather than the StuG's less powerful StuK40 - I think its penetration should be boosted from 200.0/185.0/170.0 to 260.0/240.0/220.0 so that it matches the Panther tank. The Jagdpanzer isn't a terrible vehicle right now, but it's not exactly great either and I think this change would make it a bit more appealing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Putting Away Minesweepers 13 Oct 2015, 04:10 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Oct 2015, 14:34 PMTheSleep3r Minesweepers aren't a no-brainer upgrade. If you want your engis or pios to serve in defensive/support role, you take minesweepers. If you want offensive role, you take flamethrower or leave them be. More upgrades should have visible and important drawbacks, not less. Maybe. I think the Sweeper's a bit different because it's provides the squad with a special ability rather than a new weapon. Also, I'm pretty certain that minesweeper-equipped soldiers would carry a weapon with them in real-life. For example, the Soviet VIM-210 mine detector could actually be attached to the end of a rifle. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Putting Away Minesweepers 12 Oct 2015, 09:09 AM Another simple suggestion: all engineer squads should be able to put away their minesweeper. Right now only Sturmpioneers can do this. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: All Armies Should Have A "Withdraw And Refit" Function12 Oct 2015, 09:05 AM Pretty simple suggestion here: I'd really like it if players had the option to remove unwanted units from the battlefield and receive a small refund when they do so. EG - I have a M3 Scout Car that's survived into the late-game and I don't want it in my army any longer. I should be have the option to order the vehicle to drive off the battlefield and then get a small refund (say 1/3 to 1/2 the original cost of the squad, perhaps provided in the form of a temporary boost in resource income). The same option should be available for infantry squads. Lots of other RTS games have this option, usually in the form of a "disband" or "scuttle" function. The USF sort of have it in the form of the Mechanized Company's "Withdraw and Refit" ability, which provides a much larger refund (approximately 3/4 the original cost of the squad) than I'm suggesting here.

Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 11 Oct 2015, 07:12 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Oct 2015, 04:20 AMDullahan Axis have slightly weaker infantry. Allies have slightly weaker vehicles. Whoa. But the Allies (Brits excepted) also tend to have numerical superiority, especially relative to the Wehrmacht. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: grenadier/panzergrenadier lack of survivability 11 Oct 2015, 00:45 AM They don't need a fifth man. That said, I think their veterancy bonuses should be on-par with Allied infantry units. Riflemen have much better bonuses right now, and I'm not sure that should be the case. In: COH2 Balance
