Thread: OKW vs. Brits 2v228 Jul 2020, 20:44 PM I've been using the Flak HT a lot against brit blobs. As long as you keep a volks nearby to keep it screened from AEC its been working pretty well for me That said playing okw vs brits feels like the toughest matchup for me these days In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why don't Shocks require upgrades?28 Jul 2020, 13:53 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2020, 08:30 AMachpawel I don't think that requiring an upgrade to purchase the shields reducing the damage would be such a bad idea. This is a better idea than requiring an upgrade for their weapons, but personally I don't think they should change If you required an upgrade for their armor they'd have to cheaper in MP and that's probably not a good idea In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why don't Shocks require upgrades?27 Jul 2020, 13:55 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2020, 01:37 AMelchino7 Thompson are stronger (around 50%) and are equipped on fewer models (better focus fire and less DPS lost) while the basic carbine is already pretty decent. The assault ability is also part of the upgrade. They have more utility and versatility with different upgrades (1919/Bar/Elite Zook) I think this pretty much sums it up. And you sortt of already mentioned this by talking about versatility, but rangers also get 3 weapon slots And obviously paras arrive pretty differently to the map than shocks. There's a handful of differences In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Main gun crit24 Jul 2020, 12:37 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2020, 07:17 AMHannibal Does someone know how the chances are to get the main gun crit? I believe it's a 5% chance to any damage applied that gets it to 25% health or lower. Not 100% positive, but pretty sure In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main gun crit24 Jul 2020, 03:05 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2020, 01:32 AMthedarkarmadillo As was already said, the crit doesn't swing the engagement any more than any other RNG really. The shot that dealt the damage could easily have been a bounce or a miss also. The bounces and misses are enough RNG already. But far more importantly YOU can do something about those. Your tank being closer reduces the chances of both of those, AND if you stop moving before the shot that effects misses too There's absolutely no influencing the main gun crit in medium on medium fights. Or most tank fights. Only thing that increases chances are using things like ostwinds and centaurs on a low health tank Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2020, 01:32 AMthedarkarmadillo I'm on board. It was my suggestion after all... Okay. i just got confused because you're disagreeing with a 20% threshold nerf, but approving a gun loader or turret lock swap, which I feel like is a way larger change Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2020, 01:32 AMthedarkarmadillo When standard AT essentially takes 25% health away lowering the threshold effective DOES remove it. As it is frankly the impact only adds more dynamics to the engagements. I don't think so. 20% lines up with exactly 1 shot left for anything with 800 health. Not to mention lower damage higher rof weapons cause them more often than standard AT anyway It takes them out of medium on medium fights where there's enough going on already. Combined arms increases your chances still, since softer AT can still get into the 20% window on mediums In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main gun crit23 Jul 2020, 23:08 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2020, 18:32 PMthedarkarmadillo I'd argue that at 25%...thats pretty well fine... I disagree, mostly because of how much it can swing 1 on 1 medium tank fights. If they're 4 shots to kill, 25% is unacceptable. It's even less acceptable with the target size nerfs to mediums Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2020, 18:32 PMthedarkarmadillo I would still like it to become a wound rather than a require full repair crit, but happening when the tank is already being left as a 1 shot isn't the end of the world imo. Then make it a gun loader crit or turret lock. Those accomplish similar effects while being temporary Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2020, 23:06 PMKatitof Removing RNG is the same as removing synch kills from DoW2 and not even implementing it in DoW3, yeah, it increased competitiveness, but took away the features that identified the game and made it stand out, resulting in predictable, plain, generic game. How many times do you need it explained to you that lowering the threshold isn't removing rng? Even if we did remove it altogether, are you really trying to tell me there would be no more rng left in CoH? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Main gun crit23 Jul 2020, 17:22 PM I will never understand people who think it's good for the game Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2020, 15:19 PMKatitof You can play starcraft if you don't want to see RNG. RNG based mechanics are selling point of CoH series. The OG main gun crit caused medium tanks to take 5 shots to kill. They nerfed it without removing rng from the game. The change you quoted didn't remove rng either, just make it so it wouldn't happen in 1 on 1 tank fights Also... Trying to penetrate the original 425 frontal armor of the KT and the 225 rear armor was rng too, and that was one of the dumbest things in the game's history "But RNG bruh" is not a valid argument Don't have to outright remove it, but the way it currently works needs to be changed In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vet 3 T3420 Jul 2020, 20:23 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2020, 12:14 PMVIGNASH Alright, so just replace the vet3 20% reload speed with accuracy bonus. (since it is already getting relaod bonus at vet 2) If this happened in game everyone would feel like the vet 3 t34 has been nerfed. Rather keep it the same In: COH2 Balance
Thread: AEC and Bofors Tech.19 Jul 2020, 19:06 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2020, 18:58 PMSupport Sapper If someone go for AEC, i think allowing them to back tech for boffor after building company CP will be handy, offer an affordable AA/ cut off guard. I like this idea. Haven't seen a bofors in over a year so I'm up for anything that makes people actually use them In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf the Valentine19 Jul 2020, 00:11 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2020, 00:10 AMVipper Well you can choose better unit for comparison. The Gun is similar to AEC in AT and it has great AI on top of that. You can't be serious. I'm not comparing the units. Not even the guns. Just penetration values It was just a reference to point out how low the penetration is. Nothing else. If you want to respond to my post, why don't you actually talk about the subject of it In: COH2 Balance
