Thread: Requesting that the Ost 251 Forward Retreat Point stay.17 Jun 2019, 00:30 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2019, 23:26 PMdistrofio But now allied factions do that every single game and it even affects balance. There is no reason OST shouldn't have an FRP now. Idk why you're telling me this, I already said Ost should get one if everybody else does... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Requesting that the Ost 251 Forward Retreat Point stay.16 Jun 2019, 18:39 PM Dear God I wish more people were on the side of scrapping FRPs entirely. I dont want OST to get one because nobody should have them period IMO. But if thats not an option, they probably should get it and I wish the durability of FRPs was standardized. Idk why OKW needs to have the most durable one when their infantry is as strong as it is Its not a fun mechanic, and it promotes blobbing. It's a lot less punishing to have your blob get suppressed/forced off when mass retreating is only halfway back to your base. I really dont get why its still a thing, even with the restrictions that have been added In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commander Update Patch June 14th14 Jun 2019, 19:49 PM Can launch Artillery Flares when deployed; similar to OKW Artillery Flares from Special Operations. Range 60. Anyone know if there's a cost to this ability? And I really feel like we should be removing flare-style abilities, not adding them. Though saying it compares to specops flares really isn't true. It's one thing for units that can be destroyed to fire flares with a range, it's another thing to just call them in wherever you want Jump back to quoted post14 Jun 2019, 18:52 PMVipper This is another uncounterable resources transfer mechanism. Why is it being introduced? I guess their justification is that it only transfers resources if it doesn't get picked up by the owner? Still could get real cheesy in team games, could fuel the spamming of some late game abilities In: COH2 Balance
Thread: TO JUSTIFY OKW NO CACHES, NO BASES REFUND! 13 Jun 2019, 18:18 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2019, 16:18 PMBalanced_Gamer I apologise for this being long but I have done this for the sake of clarity and for clear reasons! I am finding this works opposite to your goal. The more concise the post, the clearer the point usually is. Not to say I know much better, I have only started realizing this recently But I dont understand your recommendation here. "Better AT" is too vague, and the only specific thing I see is the cheaper tech cost if you lose the building. To me you cant do that because you need the cost as part of the threat in order to balance the use of those buildings aggressively The Rak could use buffs and nerfs and i think everybody agrees on that. Nerf/remove the camo, buff its AT performance/survivability more directly. Rather then relying on the cloak as a gimmick to make up for its shortcomings In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USF Mortar Halftrack & M1 Pack Howitzer Need Nerf13 Jun 2019, 05:10 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Jun 2019, 13:55 PMKatitof You going to ignore the fact that delayed fuse is completely ineffective against infantry, unless you're blisfully unaware to what the timer on the ground that appeared suddenly is and its sole purpose is to poke at static structures? I use the charges against tanks, specifically the slower heavies. It carries a good chance of causing engine damage if you can get one to hit, and they stick to the tank if they land on it directly. Killed a couple KTs in 2v2 thanks to this In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuG and JPIV Penetration11 Jun 2019, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2019, 08:57 AMWiderstreit The MG only showes up the StuG because it shoots at everything. Hold fire should just apply to the pintle mgs as well, it's really annoying when you reveal a unit you're trying to hide because your tank tries to shoot down the plane. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuG and JPIV Penetration9 Jun 2019, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2019, 20:21 PMLago I'm not sure you need to if you tone down some of these stupidly high armour values. You could probably bring the penetration of the allied TDs down instead. That's valid. If we're talking about bringing the armour down of all of the "super-heavies" or whatever you wanna call the over 300s, I can see your point. IS2 on its own is not the culprit here Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2019, 20:21 PMLago As for the StuG, it's a dedicated tank destroyer. Should it be less effective than the Panzer IV and Puma? Because against a 375/140 armour unit, it is. Casemates can't circlestrafe. Cause they can fire from beyond the range of most of their targets instead? P4 is only more effective when you spam it. If you try to flank/strafe with just one it'll probably die or get snared before the IS2 goes down In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuG and JPIV Penetration9 Jun 2019, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2019, 20:06 PMLago All that 375 armour value achieves is killing the casemate as an option. Which is why we're talking about buffing the pen on JP4? I dont think the stug needs it though, its not meant to be that effective against heavies In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuG and JPIV Penetration9 Jun 2019, 19:57 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2019, 19:51 PMLago It costs the same as a Tiger, which is 300/140. Tiger also reloads a lot faster, has less scatter, more range (at vet 0). It could probably still use a buff, but I really dont think 375 armor is too much for IS2. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: StuG and JPIV Penetration9 Jun 2019, 19:48 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jun 2019, 19:19 PMLago Doing away with the IS-2's frankly stupid 375 armour for example would go a long way. Why does it even have that much in the first place? Doesnt seem that dumb. Its the same armor as the KT which has more health and better gun. I think the IS2 was given that armor so that the allies would have something comparable to the KT. I dont think it always had that much Jp4 should trade some of its armour for pen. It doesnt need 230 armour. Maybe make it a little faster/give it faster rotation too. In: COH2 Balance
