Thread: Kv2 is underperforming23 Dec 2019, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2019, 22:14 PMT.R. Stormjäger I personally hate turret mode. I just attack ground and use it as an IS2/Tiger. Works pretty well and can actually kill a Panther 1v1. Only case I saw turret mode used was way back a year ago. Some dude on Red Ball Express had an unholy amount of support weapons and the KV2 in turret mode behind them and just sniped if you tried to push. Nobody has used the turret mode since that I remember, Yeah I feel the same. This has at least a little to do with it, might also explain why you saw it year ago: -Siege mode reload bonus from 0.5 to 0.75. -152mm non-sieged reload from 10/12 to 9. -152mm non-sieged bypasses terrain. -152mm non-sieged angle scatter from 7.5 to 5 That's from December patch of last year, and it came with a bunch of other buffs as well. Those 4 are the ones that only effected 1 mode, and you can see the pattern. Im pretty sure thats a nerf to the siege mode reload if im reading that correctly In: COH2 Balance

Stormjäger Urban Defense was the 3rd most popular doctrine in the tourney and the KV2 has seen a large resurgence since being added to Urban Defense. You remember any matches where someone got good use of turret mode? Or have any tips on it yourself? I understand how its supposed to be used but it seems rarely worth the effort, and normal mode has been good enough for me. I believe when they added it to urban defense they nerfed siege mode a tiny bit and buffed its regular stats In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kv2 is underperforming23 Dec 2019, 21:24 PM Kv2 is great Only question I have about it is I cant seem to find good use for turret mode. I get its purpose but it just seems like too much of a hassle for not enough benefit Unit is really good in regular mode anyway though, so no complaints from me In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Great OKW commander balancing23 Dec 2019, 21:20 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2019, 10:05 AMVipper You are confusing the "heavy stalling" with "heavy meta", the dominant tactic before and after the patch. Yeah Lago calling that semantics is not "being toxic." It's being accurate Waiting for a heavy is more viable than it was before, you can call it whatever you want In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Great OKW commander balancing23 Dec 2019, 04:16 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Dec 2019, 00:51 AMVipper The moment Super heavy tank got a tech cost the strategy no longer exits. It "doesn't exist" because it became an even stronger tactic than it was before. Now you have to wait even less time than you did. I don't know what you're clarifying here In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Great OKW commander balancing22 Dec 2019, 21:33 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2019, 21:24 PMLago Oh, definitely. The current system is an enormous improvement over what came before it. A potentially novel solution: The T-34's Ram ability has a mechanic where, if the target already has Engine Damage, it inflicts Engine Destroyed. What if we extend this mechanic to normal snares? If you snare a vehicle that's already Engine Damaged, you inflict Engine Destroyed. (or a less extreme crit like Engine Overheated or Crew Shock). Engine destroy for ramming a snared tank makes sense, but just throwing another snare at it shouldn't be the same. I think having to sacrifice a tank should get you more than throwing another at grenade/faust In: COH2 Balance

Unless someone comes up with better theory about why PF where not used that much when they where available I am keeping mine. Science also tells us the importance of sample size I would say they were built less just because they aren't as good early on and OKWs opening "recently" received several nerfs In: Lobby

I disagree I think it's interesting to look at and talk about. But jumping right in and using it to support your balance claim is not at all what it's for imo This is one single 1v1 tournament that didn't include all maps in a game that can go up to 4 players per side and has different maps for each game-mode. I really don't see how you can take that and apply it to the entire game In: Lobby
Thread: Stats from the WCS 2019 2.0 - Siphon X version21 Dec 2019, 08:17 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2019, 22:11 PMVipper It has everything to do with volks. Unities are balanced against what they are facing but compete with in their own faction about utility Yeah you're not having the same conversation I was. A direct comparison of fusilers and penals scaling/late game has nothing to do with volks. And I'm not suggesting changes to either, all of what you're talking about has to do with what to change from PF vs Volks side of things But they also have +1 man over volks though and their snare is longer range and doesn't require any tech. So flares are NOT the only thing they bring over volks, while you're comparing them Really I was just pointing out to stug that no one said penals are bad, and no one wanted them buffed Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2019, 22:11 PMVipper And that agrees with the stats that have PF produced in less than half the games and about 2 units average without even being sure that all them where even used with g43s. It probably another indication how powerful ST44 VGs are that even "superior" unit is not chosen over them. I'm not sure its an indication of anything that specific, other than what those players chose to do in those specific games In: Lobby
Thread: Stats from the WCS 2019 2.0 - Siphon X version20 Dec 2019, 22:00 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2019, 21:44 PMVipper I that been claimed "penals scale pretty bad compared to other infantry" and we have established that in late game Penal are about equal to the more expensive g43 PF, so the claim is simply not true. Equal in combat performance, not in utility. Whether or not snares and vision overlap with Volks has nothing to do with penals Jump back to quoted post20 Dec 2019, 21:44 PMVipper One last time. You quoted me first in this thread? I didn't ask you to explain anything, you chose to talk to me, drop the attitude In: Lobby
