Thread: Stuka CAS2 Jun 2020, 00:37 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2020, 20:37 PMelchino7 I'm talking about how you are ACTUALLY supposed to code it. Not the general idea behind it. Without requiring "hack" type solutions to make it work. I have no clue, didn't think knowing how to code was a prerequesite for making a suggestion? I'm not trying to say it's easy, I don't think any aspect of coding a game like this is. I just don't see why it wouldn't be possible. If the tracking already occurs secretly, is adding a visual indicator that much harder? The icon would last from the time the plane locks on to when it attacks. I assume once it attacks, the plane loses its track if the vehicle is outside the radius My instinct is that making the planes track/lose the track in the first place is the hard part and that's already done. Could be totally wrong In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stuka CAS1 Jun 2020, 19:37 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2020, 19:31 PMelchino7 How is that supposed to work? The same way it already works, just add an icon? When a tank gets locked on the game knows to have the plane attack it. If you move your tank out early enough, the second pass from the two planes won't target it, yes? So can't we have an indicator that shows this? Or at least shows what "early enough" is? If the game is already making this determination secretly, they're must be some call-out or icon they could match up with it. Would also help for if you have multiple vehicles in the radius I know the mark Target icon is independant of the plane, just giving an example of the type of visual I'm talking about. Icons like the command tank, mark Target, blitz, etc. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-76 - A Slight Adjustment1 Jun 2020, 19:26 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2020, 19:20 PMHannibal Vipper meant literally crushing them by driving over them. However since the SU76 gets snared instantly this would be a very risky maneuver. Yup I know what vipper meant and your point is exactly why I don't think people would be using it to crush either way. When your engine can't even survive one snare, crushing is a bold move Not to mention not having a turret makes it even bolder. If a tank shows up while your crushing you can't fight back In: COH2 Balance
Thread: SU-76 - A Slight Adjustment1 Jun 2020, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2020, 19:05 PMVipper Lets have another unit that crushes infatry like crazy. Why did you only quote the speed and rotation rate? Both of those impact it's performance against vehicles way more than against infantry The barrage recharge is what would effect infantry. But I don't see how you could possibly think what he's proposing is extreme, especially given that he said there would need to be other adjustments In: COH2 Balance

We've had this discussion already with P-47 rocket loiter. Dude, learn to fucking read: Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2020, 18:19 PMSkysTheLimit A vehicle that gets tracked should have an icon over it until the lock expires. Similar to when your tank gets tagged with "Mark Target" you see an icon I didn't say they should change how tracking works. That's not even remotely close to what I said I said do the above suggestion, OR rework them completely (which I then said it's too late for) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stuka CAS1 Jun 2020, 18:19 PM We can say all day that "that's how loiters work" to OP. That's totally true, it doesn't mean that it's okay All loiters have issues imo, not just SCAS. Yeah tracking outside the circle is how they all work. So shouldn't there be some indicator of that in-game besides your vehicle getting shot? A vehicle that gets tracked should have an icon over it until the lock expires. Similar to when your tank gets tagged with "Mark Target" you see an icon Personally Id rather they completely rework loiters to be less automated. But it's a little late for that I assume In: COH2 Balance

Then you can just nerf the AT loiter part? The 2 OKW loiter abilities didn't even have AT originally In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stuka CAS31 May 2020, 21:42 PM All loiters/overwatch abilities are troublesome imo. If planes are gonna auto-target they should be units that we have to control and pay for. That's more of a coh3 suggestion, but still loiters in this game could use a toning down In: COH2 Balance

What gives?31 May 2020, 20:59 PM Jump back to quoted post31 May 2020, 19:42 PMAarotron although i wish their upgrade was more creative than just one plus body. The upgrade description from the changelog: Veteran squad leader increases capture and decapture rate by 20% and adds -5% Received Accuracy to the squad. I will give you that that's not a whole lot more, but it is something. It's plenty for it's cost imo In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sandbags31 May 2020, 19:32 PM Jump back to quoted post31 May 2020, 19:24 PMKiwiBirb Tommies still have trenches. Do you even play the game? Trenches require friendly territory. One of the most common times you see sandbags built is while capturing points Having trenches does not mean removing sandbags from IS would not be a big nerf In: COH2 Balance
