Thread: Ostheer's Blitzkrieg Doctrine16 Dec 2019, 07:19 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Dec 2019, 03:31 AMthedarkarmadillo yea, my thought was to replace tac movment as i got messed up with my suggestion and the OP so i already had tac movement as a write off, but you are right i know the unit was originally a defensive unit, but i think a defensive command unit is a fine line between being too much and not worth the effort, even now poeple think ~only~ tanking 1 extra hit for all armour isnt that good of a buff without needing to do anything. so an active defensive ability would be a tough duck i think, finding the right balance would be quite tough. additionally restricting it to defensive (although i do like your suggestion for defensive posture) stagnates somewhat. but thats just a personal opinion of course to take a bit of the pressure off that aspect id like the unit to be worth it even without the support options- something hitting like a stug E with a turret might be enough to be attractive (it IS limited to 1 at a time) and then the support abilities wouldnt need to be as hard to strike a balance on know what i mean? Yeah just making the main gun better in some way would definitely be a good idea. And the support role could also be designed to improve with vet, like it does for some of the other command tanks. I've seen Vipper suggest this numerous times I think, but might of been talking about a different unit I think one or two of the support abilities themselves should be somewhat stagnant anway tbh, but if the main gun is improved, and it gets things like smoke shells and strafing runs, that still gives it some offensive punch as well. But at the end of the day, if you want a medium that can contend with tanks, get a regular p4. If you want medium that focuses on infantry get an ostwind The commissar has offensive and defensive abilities, I think the command p4 being an upscaled late-game commissar would be ideal In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer's Blitzkrieg Doctrine16 Dec 2019, 02:43 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2019, 04:50 AMthedarkarmadillo I agree with the command tank rework. A special version of blitz that grants nearby infantry sprint? Smoke shells? Stuka mg strafe (medium damage no pin?) basicly emulate the early war combined arms blitzkrieg style warfare centered around the p3 stubby p4 I like the second two, the first one I don't think so. For one, the Cmdr the OP was originally talking about already has tactical movement. Also Valiant assault nerf was very warranted, don't wanna see anything like that anytime soon (For mother Russia still needs same treatment iirc) I also feel like it's supposed to be a defensive unit to begin with. I think a good timed aura would be one with an RA bonus and some good sized cooldown+acc bonuses for stationary squads(and maybe tanks too?). "Defensive Posture" or something like that Something like that, smoke shells, an anti-infantry strafe, and maybe hull down and I think the unit would be really solid. Lock the strafe behind vet 1 with blitz In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen snares16 Dec 2019, 02:28 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2019, 07:38 AMthedarkarmadillo I figure this way it IS more of a qol change than a buff but vet 1 still has value so it's not like getting major means rifles have to vet to vet 2 for any improvement and this way even losing a vet 1 squad will impact. Yeah it's a good way to get best of both worlds In: COH2 Balance

Yeah lol and aside from the fucking design of how a mortar works, we have flare on the soviets to spot, US one is in HQ, and mortar pit smoke range is phenomenal Idk how even a troll can type "no dedicated counter until medium tanks" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen snares15 Dec 2019, 05:08 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2019, 04:34 AMthedarkarmadillo So on a normal rifle unlocking it at vet 1 the price would be unchanged but a fresh rifle after major it would cost say 5-10 mu more? Then at vet 1 again it's price is returned to "normal"? That's not how I had been thinking about it but I like it better actually. I was just thinking making them a little cheaper but making people pay a slight muni premium for the vet 0 snare after mjr makes a lot of sense. And vet 1 can just make it normal like you said In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer's Blitzkrieg Doctrine15 Dec 2019, 01:11 AM I think the command p4 should get reworked. Scrap the passive aura entirely, give it some good abilities. One if them could be a temporary aura that's much stronger but has a muni cost and cooldown and such In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzerfussielier has to be the worst infantry ingame15 Dec 2019, 01:04 AM Restore bug that allowed shrecks AND g43s on one squad Give their schrecks bonus accuracy vs infantry and full damage, and allow them to fire on move (.95 moving acc obviously) Possibly turn 1 model into fully functional sniper at vet 1? I think yes In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guards underperform15 Dec 2019, 01:00 AM Wish you could attack ground with ptrs specifically for the ptac scenarios. After your button has been cancelled it would be nice if you could least give them a fuck you pair of shots Notchnically a projectile weapon though so I guess it you can't do it cause there's no scatter. Would be cool if coh3 put scatter on more things In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Riflemen snares15 Dec 2019, 00:54 AM I like the vet 0 snares after major but don't think we need to buff the performance of the snare at vet 1. Make it sightly cheaper at vet 1 or something In: COH2 Balance

Some light vehicles can withstand it but they don't deal much damage to it. You forgetting the existence of mortars? In: COH2 Balance
