Thread: Assault Grenadier spam - every, single, game. What gives?26 May 2020, 15:12 PM What Aero said. Ass Grens into PGrens mean they have no snares so M20, Vickers UC (spam the suppress ability), and Flamer clown car wreck these strategies. Doctrinally the USF Jeep and M5 meatchopper also help out (M5 meatchoppers also forces off 222s and Flamer HTs if they go that route) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Gaurds Assualt Troops13 May 2020, 17:16 PM Jump back to quoted post13 May 2020, 16:52 PMJibberJabberJobber USF's Assault M3 or a WC51 with unique abilities would be cool and allow the group to be cheaper. Clearly the answer is to make them come in the British Special weapons M3 so that you can give Vickers to your Penals In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Gaurds Assualt Troops13 May 2020, 17:14 PM IMO biggest change would be to fix their vet and maybe give them smoke grenades. Obviously separating them from the M5 and making them 2 CP would also make it easier for them to be fit into build orders. VET : In: COH2 Balance
Thread: My last personal wishlist for teamgame adjustments8 May 2020, 19:31 PM Jump back to quoted post8 May 2020, 16:00 PMSander93 Not entirely. There's almost no way to punish it in a lot of lane maps where flanking it is next to impossible. It's a good concept but the risk barely applies in a lot of maps. It also makes the SU-85 exceptionally good against units like the Tiger II or Brummbar because they obviously can't flank it. I think on average the reward definitely outweighs the potential risk and that's where the ability arguably is too good. Not to mention it goes against the whole combined arms approach of the rest of the game. Fair enough but it sounds like more of a map design issue than a unit design one. Additionally the SU-85 is more or less SU's sole stock option to deal with Brumbar and Tiger II so I suppose the question is whether or not focused sight makes it TOO good against those kinds of units it's supposed to counter. Personally I only find it good for trying to sneak in a killing blow on a retreating tank and even then you're stuck in focused sight mode for a bit and SU85 isn't good at chasing. I agree that camping with SU85 on lanes can be troublesome though but that's true for all TDs. In: COH2 Balance

I'd like to see su85 focus sight looked at. Focused Sight is good design. The mobility nerfs and time delays between activating and deactivating it mean that if you use it improperly then you'll get punished. If anything Elephant should have some kind of tradeoff sight ability though probably not mobility since it's already pretty slow. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: British assault officer7 May 2020, 21:40 PM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2020, 18:44 PMLatch His kind of on me ability is really godo however and shouldnt be overlooked, gives sprint and I imagine DPS buffs(?) which can be useful against MG's. His officer charge reduces received accuracy and increases accuracy but doesn't break suppression. It's not bad for being free but doesn't feel super strong in the way of swinging engagements.

Thread: My last personal wishlist for teamgame adjustments7 May 2020, 14:59 PM All great ideas. Mechanized Support and Jaeger Armor are definitely over-represented in team game meta. Personally I don't find the Scott's autofire to be that oppressive but then again I don't see or use it all that much. If anything I think that Pak Howie should use Scott AoE profile for autofire (maybe with cost reduction/6th man back) and Scott should get Pak Howie shells as it's barrage profile or as a Vet 1/2 ability/buff.

Thread: British assault officer7 May 2020, 14:42 PM Combat wise I find him balanced and maybe a little MP bleedy due to no Camo. Personally every time I get him I mostly just regret not using a doctrine with commandos instead lol. I think if he got camo at Vet 3 or smoke grenades then he'd be in a good place. One caveat is that his Recon pass ability is super useful for some doctrines like Artillery and Mobile Assault for spotting for Arty or dropping offmaps which not a lot of people consider building him for I think.

Thread: Worst 1v1 Map and why?5 May 2020, 15:56 PM Overall I don't mind most of the 1v1 maps. I appreciate that most of them have quirks that you have to adapt your playstyle to (although some of them could admittedly be a little more balanced with base spawns). I voted for Crossing in the Woods. I find it just BORING and uninteresting to play on as a super mirrored map with 3 VPs in a row down middle of map where it's super hard to punish things like Snipers. Most games just devolve into TD spam with MGs lining up on the VPs... it's literally the 1v1 version of campy team game maps. I was tempted to vote for winter crossroads but I feel like the only thing that map needs is to make the fuel cutoffs less punishing like moving them slightly closer to each player's base (it's a really neat and innovative map idea but painful to play most of the time). Plus we need more winter maps in 1v1 pool to actually see winter camo! In: Lobby
