Thread: How to counter Soviet Urban Defence25 Mar 2020, 15:08 PM Depending on the map you can punish the FHQ by ignoring it and focusing on their cutoff. Just force them to either move away from the FHQ to defend their cutoff or have minimal resources while you stall for your tank. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Suggestion: sight options for Ostheer and USF25 Mar 2020, 02:23 AM Personally I think Ost is fine since Pios get Vet 0 42 sight from the start and are usually in the mix either sweeping or repairing. For USF I think it's worth mentioning they get Pathfinders doctinally and I wouldn't discount the Major's recon ability. If anything I say Officer Sight Toggle and Pio Upgrade would be the way to go but don't feel it's strictly necessary In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger main gun nerf too much? (Winter patch)22 Mar 2020, 02:00 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Mar 2020, 00:43 AMKatitof Other heavies have comparable AoE, why fastest firing one should be most accurate as well? I was always under impression that IS2/Pershing had larger AoE. I don't think Tiger needs to have best of all worlds but if the balance team thinks the current patch iteration is underwhelming then I think giving it back some of it's scatter is a potential solution. I assume that the previous patch kept heavies at the same relative ratios of scatter/AOE/ Etc. when they buffed them when it came to IS2 vs. Tiger main guns/ As such I would assume that reverting some of the scatter nerf wouldn't make the Tiger any better when compared to the other heavies than it had historically been in previous patches... Caveat of course being that I'm not diving into the stats here In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger main gun nerf too much? (Winter patch)22 Mar 2020, 00:26 AM If anything you could maybe give back some of the scatter Vet (either move it to Vet 3 and/or reduce it to like 10%). Would make the Tiger a wee bit more consistent at higher Vet with it's smalller AoE but not supper oppressive as a power spike. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Tiger main gun nerf too much? (Winter patch)21 Mar 2020, 18:28 PM While I applaud Tightrope for taking the time to demonstrate the Patch I would hesitate before placing too much stock into what it means. Keep in mind that these aren't same conditions you use the Tiger in game (he didn't upgrade the Pintle in the video) when you have that extra pintle damage alone then models drop off more quickly. Plus you have to take into account actual game conditions (unit synergies etc.) A lot more goes into whether the Tiger is useful than just the # of shots on average it takes to kill a squad.

Thread: Greyhound and Support Airborne 19 Mar 2020, 14:58 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Mar 2020, 09:13 AMWAAAGH2000 No,major need LT+Cap or fully upgrade T2 or T3，so Greyhound have same tech request as Stuart or AAHT I kind of like this idea if Greyhound retains it's complete inability to fight off other LVs. If it comes too early then you can always increase fuel by 5-10 to compensate I suppose. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: infantry balance17 Mar 2020, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 19:11 PMmaahowl I never thought I would ever see the statement: "the maxim needs a nerf" Also, I think the author of this thread is just salty after losing a few games in a row. Or it's just bait, idk Option 3 : L2P Issues In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years17 Mar 2020, 16:11 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2020, 10:50 AMVipper That is quite irrelevant to the argument, both falls and JLI used to be infiltration units and caused no balance issues. The choice between "OKW infiltration units or balance in game" is simply fictional. Except for the whole "pop out of garrison and insta nuke support weapons" or "pop out on retreat path and get guaranteed wipe because they arrive with 4X FGs" otherwise yes. Infiltration units are essentially removed from the game - Partysans aren't used much at all even after being redone and any time I see Infiltration Commandos used it's usually being called into base for reinforcement first thing. Also I personally see a distinction between Obers and Falls where Falls are more of glass cannon that arrive sooner whereas Obers have a higher scaling ceiling (IMO). I mean I guess we can give them an optional upgrade for Stormtrooper MPs with Tactical assault like other factions paratroopers shrug In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fallshrims got completely neutered over the years16 Mar 2020, 16:44 PM Yeah an ober squad with stealth AND first strike that comes at 2 CP and can upgrade without Panzer Authorization. So feelsbadman that I'm uninstalling. It was good while it lasted! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Pak Howitzer fix idea13 Mar 2020, 17:32 PM OP clearly wasn't around for the "Pak Howies don't autoface to attack targets" patch that everybody just loved and adored (heavy sarcasm). Pak howies just need their damage or Aoe toned down and maybe have scatter/cost etc. tweaked to compensate. I don't want an ISG clone but I feel like they are just far too lethal now but adding a micro tax dependent on specific units to using them will just remove them from the game entirely In: COH2 Balance
