Thread: Ostheer MG/EarlyToday, 19:37 PM Jump back to quoted postToday, 18:16 PMdistrofio You dont compare blindly between factions end even less on units that are not meant to fight eachothers No one is blindly comparing anything, and you don't need to be a CQC squad to force off an MG. If rear echelon flank an MG42 it needs to retreat... What's being compared are units that have the same job. Suppress infantry before they advance any further. The one that is the best at this is cheaper than ones that aren't as good and have costs just to unlock them. Yes of course armies are different. And? Tell me why it would not be okay for the mg42 to cost 280mp. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer MG/EarlyToday, 17:13 PM Don't see how anyone can argue that the mg42 should be 260mp while the .50 cal is 280 and the maxim is 260. The mg42 performance shouldn't be nerfed, but it's price is just nonsense. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Redesigning LoitersYesterday, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2019, 22:21 PMmurky depths Do away with the loiter mechanic altogether and turn it into an aimed ability with a decent sized AOE where they do multiple strafes in that one zone. Only 'loiter' should be the recon/mark-target ones. Absolutely do away with the 'target acquired, track to the ends of the earth' effect we currently have. Yeah I pretty much feel the same way. I'm willing to compromise with people on the first point, but your last point is the biggest issue here IMO. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Redesigning Loiters14 Feb 2019, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2019, 21:49 PMEtherealDragon I understand that it's frustrating because there is no indicator that you've been acquired but any further nerfs and they will be unusable. So re-design them. Maybe have SCAS/p47s do less damage but cause gun loader/vision criticals. IL2s definitely aren't a problem anymore, because they suppress and control more than they kill. Sector assault, p47s, and SCAS can still too easily deliver kills. P47s don't miss at all on Elefants and Jagdtigers. They rip them to shreds, AND those units are pretty hard to move out of loiters In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Redesigning Loiters14 Feb 2019, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2019, 20:01 PMadamírcz Reworkin them into strafes however might defeat the purpose of large scale and longer duration area denial (+punishing larger force concentrations that however arent quite blobs yet), so Im not sure about that But that's not what loiters do, at least in my experience. Most of them can only attack one type of target so they usually just end up chasing individual units outside the radius. Especially SCAS and P47s Then there's sector assault which can attack both. Which is still completely broken because bombs that track can cause way more chaos. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Redesigning Loiters14 Feb 2019, 19:04 PM I'm not sure on specifics, but IMO something should be done to ALL attacking loiters to make them less effective (and cheaper by necessity). Maybe even go all the way and turn them into strafes? Perhaps you could have 3 strafes to call in within a certain area. And then the planes deliver the payload in sequence? I made a thread about this a while ago but I can't find it nor do I remember if there was any consensus. My big problem with loiters is that they require almost no micro to use, while forcing your opponent into a wild scramble just to save their units. Then there's the tracking issue where the planes follow you outside the circle if you didn't leave in time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M20 dropping a bazooka is the worst thing in the world14 Feb 2019, 18:54 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2019, 14:55 PMOutsider_Sidaroth Now that the LT can get one and the Stuart is in the same tier... I wish they made the M20 crew the same as others so it could get Thompsons from Armor. Yeah I don't find much use for the unit as a whole anymore now that the stuart is right there. It's best role is still as a mine planter IMO, unless there's a pesky sniper or something In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sand bags blocking6 Feb 2019, 01:01 AM Is it possible to make it so that only 1 piece of wire/sandbag can be placed at a time? Like you have to finish/cancel any piece of wire/sandbag before you can place another? It won't prevent the move entirely, but it would certainly limit it's effectiveness. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Recon units/abilities are too affordable and available5 Feb 2019, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Feb 2019, 20:20 PMBananenheld have you seen the royal arty´regiment early warning? flares over the whole frontline. Much fun. Yes I have. That's not a good idea for an ability either, but at least it's not spammable In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Recon units/abilities are too affordable and available5 Feb 2019, 19:55 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2019, 21:48 PMTobis Then why does nobody use it? It's a lame unit but you are overexaggerating its usefulness. I see it all the time in 2v2s, no clue what you're talking about It's 5 fuel. Zero reason not to get one if you went BGHQ On a separate note spec ops flares and Overwatch territory flares are the most egregious. Spec Ops flares for the lack of counterplay, Overwatch flares because of the lack of micro OR cost to use them. In: COH2 Balance
