Thread: Why does rak need retreat?10 Feb 2020, 18:29 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 14:34 PMFelixTHM The usual USF fanboys were complaining about raketen being in T0/there's always access to raketen. So quote the person you're refferring too... I see most people talking about retreat, not moving the Rak out of the HQ. Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 14:34 PMFelixTHM Basically some factions need certain stuff because the factions they face have certain units that would otherwise be uncounterable. I thought it was mind-numbingly obvious but only people who play all factions understand this balance concept. What the heck does that have to do with whether or not Rak should retreat? Most people are talking about whether or not it deserves retreat? I don't see anyone struggling with the concept of what "countering" means... Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 18:21 PMShadowLinkX37 Axis don't have min 1 clown cars. Hence why they don't require a t0 AT gun, that and they need 30F to get to AT gun tier, and they start with 20. Even at zero connected territory that's only 2.5 minutes you can tech. 221/3 can do a number on the Brits first of all, and pretty much for the exact reason I'm talking about Second the snares don't hit the field as soon as you unlock the tech. You still have to build the squad and you're not going to have anywhere near the number of snares that other factions will Again: I am NOT saying to move the Rak. I really don't see anyone saying it should either, I don't get what you guys are worried about... In: COH2 Balance

Mines? I know they get those already, but you are comparing an engineer squad to ones who's only role is fighting Ptrs Cons especially are absolutely worthless against anything other than vehicles once they get upgraded. Amazing against vehicles for sure, but Sturms keep more of their AI dps, still have stun grenades, etc In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why does rak need retreat?10 Feb 2020, 03:20 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2020, 03:07 AMFelixTHM Everyone gonna continue ignoring the fact that the raketen 100% needs to be in T0 if Volks don't have faust from the start. Where do you see "everyone" suggesting it leave the HQ? But btw Brits don't have snares from the start either, and they never get them on their mainlines. Their AT gun isn't in the HQ...

Thread: Why does rak need retreat?9 Feb 2020, 22:06 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 20:48 PMStug life yes that's the point we were discussing the target size of the weapon You were but then you said this: Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 19:09 PMStug life well with puppchen it has to be a bit further (range) and u can just steal and retreat other at gun obvs can't so it's more difficult Saying it's more difficult to steal other AT guns because you can't retreat right away is a worthless point. The same reason it's easier to steal a decrewed Rak is the reason it's harder to decrew the Rak in the first place... AT guns shouldn't retreat period, and I don't think any unit that can't be suppressed should be able to either In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Elite Panzerschreck9 Feb 2020, 19:40 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 17:54 PMShadowLinkX37 What? Zooks and schrecks could potentially 1 shot tanks IRL and ingame there's no chance of that. Historical accuracy means very little when regarding balance. They also usually needed more than 1 person per launcher in order to be used efficiently. If tanks weren't so good against infantry I think it would be cool if they factored that into the game Like everytime it fires one model stops fighting and helps the guy reload. Maybe for coh3! +1 to OPs idea In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why does rak need retreat?9 Feb 2020, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 19:22 PMStug life no i just mean it is easier to steal it You mean it's easier to steal if we assume it has been decrewed already.... What I'm saying is it's easier to keep alive in the first place, to prevent it from ever being stolen In: COH2 Balance

It should be getting decrewed less in the first place... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does rak need retreat?9 Feb 2020, 18:54 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2020, 18:23 PMT.R. Stormjäger In fairness you can’t always steal a team weapon. Decrewing one and attack moving to quickly destroy it is a legit tactic. Not taking sides, just saying this is quite usual. Especially for AT guns. They are usually further back than MGs so they are harder to steal and if it's not a Rak you can't retreat I honestly think I destroy more AT guns than I steal. MGs it's the opposite In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why does rak need retreat?8 Feb 2020, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2020, 18:18 PMSander93 As far as I know suppression does not give accuracy penalties, only cooldown/reload penalties. So suppression would only affect the follow up shots. But then so would the gunners getting sniped by an HMG dealing full damage. With a good chance to decrew the gun entirely in seconds. I'd personally rather take the latter (if it was my HMG). Huh I remember hearing from more than 1 caster that it reduced accuracy too, but my bad I mean if it can retreat anyway though I don't see what extra damage gets me. If I stop it from moving towards it's target it's gonna retreat too, and it'll get suppressed faster than it gets killed Does suppression effect aim-time at all? I feel like I see MGs bug out a bit everytime they get suppressed In: COH2 Balance
