Thread: Stupid questions but no answers3 Sep 2021, 17:54 PM Can't tell if OP was being self aware with the "stupid questions" title or not... In: COH2 Balance

I don't remember what it was like in the closed pre-alpha No, you are right. The post said "motor" gun carriage and I read it as mortar. Depending on how the air off maps work it might be okay and a fun riff on Allied Air superiority that will please the historical accuracy die hards. In: COH3 Central

CAS has recon plane + stuka bomb. On top it has AI strafe to pin infantry that tries to get point back. Furthermore CAS is a doctrine with a lot of munition which helps a lot. Encircle adds 2x Stormtroopers to prolong the decap or give sight where needed and of course the main dish. If an arranged team wants to completely dictate their loadouts to pull this off including 2 meme CAS (I don't play 4s but I assume CAS is still pretty dead in most game modes) then more power to them. No heavy tanks, no elephants, and no howitizers... I think I'd take my chance with Close The Pocket lol In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Nerf "Encirclement Doctrine" Axis. BROKEN1 Sep 2021, 17:42 PM Close the Pocket is indeed super strong when pulled off but it's a one trick pony commander built entirely around this gimmick and isn't a very good commander otherwise. One simple thing you can do is build a cache on the cutoff which gives you plenty of time to prevent the decap. You can also easily demo buildings to prevent Stormtroopers. Worst case scenario you just pay attention and mass retreat until it's over it's not like the ramp-up time doesn't give you enough time to do that - if you don't notice the blinking sectors on your Tac Map that's on you honestly.

Thread: What is up with M8A1(Scott) change?30 Aug 2021, 18:32 PM I mentioned in the general feedback thread but Scott needs some kind of "area denial" barrage option as with Vet it's barrage becomes super accurate but a lot of times you really just need to force a bunch of support weapons to move or deny a VP Circle. Barring that it feels like the OHK radius could be bumped up slightly. Shell speed could by slowed or additional nerfs if needed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA28 Aug 2021, 21:11 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2021, 18:37 PMjagd wölfe A round of positive changes. I agree with Vipper, merging camo and sprint was a mistake. I'd rather make sprint and tactical movement one and separate the sprint ability and camo ability into specific commanders Merging Sprint and Tactical Movement makes sense. The problem is that the Ambush Camo by itself is pretty soso and probably isn't worth a slot by itself (even moreso if they nerf the damage bonus as planned). I suppose they could change it so that the Ambush Bonus gives you a brief speed bonus like Commando's. This probably makes sense thematically as I assume the idea was also that the unit is sprinting out of an ambush position. On that note I'm very confused why they are nerfing the Ambush Damage and reverting the tying Sprint to the upgrade. I get that Jaeger Infantry is super meta and they are probably trying to tone it down more but LMG Ambush Camo is far from a problem there. (Ambush Grens are an afterthought if anything). Having access to global Sprint-Fausts is WAY more of a balance issue. I was a big fan of that change and hope it gets reconsidered. The way I see it is that Ambush Camo isn't an expensive upgrade so if you want access to Sprint Fausts then it's not back breaking to pay for it via upgrade. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA28 Aug 2021, 20:58 PM The Scott changes are a step in the right direction - at Vet 2 a barrage will very reliably either kill or force a retreat from a support weapon. IMO the problem is that Scott is shoehorned into this precision barrage role which while good isn't useful in many situations. (support weapon walls, camping around trucks or reinforcement bunkers, etc.). What the Scott really needs is an "area saturation Barrage" option that's closer to a Land Mattress type barrage so that you aren't stuck picking off support weapons one at a time. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 Summer 2021 Balance Patch - BETA26 Aug 2021, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2021, 09:04 AMAradan Overnerfed, no reason build 120mm. Range was last advantage, now is better choose standard cheaper and low pop non-doc mortar. This only nerfs brain-dead 120MM spammers who set and forget them. The autofire range was also pretty toxic on some 1v1 maps. It still has a better AoE profile and a longer barrage range which is more than enough to make it worthwhile. If anything I'd like to get the Flares back as I think that had way more utility than the delayed fuse rounds... In: Lobby
Thread: M42 AT gun 25 Aug 2021, 16:41 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Aug 2021, 10:06 AMjagd wölfe The difference with the panic puma is that the puma is a mobile at unit. Changing it to 0 cp wouldn't change anything It's the same concept though. 0 CP means that you have a cheap instant build AT gun can that can zone out things like 221, 250 Flame Pio, rushed flamer HT, etc. that have a window of impact in slower games that don't hit 2CP fast. It would be a pretty big buff that eliminates a lot of risk from T1 builds. In: COH2 Balance
