Thread: Smartie's commander reworks: Soviets15 Jan 2021, 16:58 PM I feel like the synergy of Mark Target in Tank Hunters would need to be tested. The PTAB Run and AT Grenade assault already do good damage to vehicles and stacking that with Mark Target might be excessive (granted that this would require a lot of munitions float but worth thinking about). Overall I think you have solid suggestions though! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Maxim reinforce cost12 Jan 2021, 16:15 PM I think OP provides good logic for why this nerf can probably be reverted. The only concern I would have is that this nerf was prior to the introduction of Mobilize Reserves so buffing the reinforce cost of Maxims might make Conscript builds a little too MP efficient in the late game but that probably wouldn't be overly oppressive in my estimation In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] OST Feedback11 Jan 2021, 18:32 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2021, 14:33 PMVipper Ostruppen from t1 should have sandbag instead of bunkers. The only ostruppen that don't get sandbags are the the mobile defense ones. Unless you are saying that Ostruppen should get sandbags from the get-go instead of CP1 or CP2, which I'm not sure is a good idea since they are trying to tone down sandbag spam. Might work if they are balanced like the conscript sandbags in 5.0 where they are built slower than stock Pioneer sandbags but end up at same speed as Pioneers at Vet 1 or something like that.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback7 Jan 2021, 21:56 PM I still say just remove smoke pots from Scott to make it less hard to kill and give it additional offensive options like HEAT/Time Fuse Bombs that's a slower/more powerful/less accurate barrage. That way Scott can actually punish blobs and do more damage than it's low damage barrage sniper 5.0 form currently. Gives you flexibity to use Scott as either sniper or as area denial but your opponent has more ability to dodge the more damaging barrage. In: COH2 Balance

I personally find the cutoffs to be so annoying on that map (interesting design and attempt at a new type of map but not super fun to play) In: Lobby
Thread: Removed maps from automatch pool 20215 Jan 2021, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2021, 17:28 PMHannibal I just hope that road to Kharkov is on the list. It's not a bad map per se, but it should be a bit broader and the cut offs on the road should be slightly better placed. Yeah, Kharkov is in a weird spot because it's a legacy map that has been worked on a lot so it feels like a shame to throw it out now. At the same time I'm never really thrilled to play on it either when I see it on the loading screen. insert Tightrope Northside Kharkov video In: Lobby
Thread: Removed maps from automatch pool 20215 Jan 2021, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2021, 17:08 PMSturmpanther Don't think we need 20 maps in 1vs1. Yes I agree that 20 would be excessive but I wouldn't be opposed to say, a net gain of 1 or 2 new maps instead of removing old maps that aren't that broken from a balance perspective. Server/Coding considerations taken into account of course. In: Lobby
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] UKF Feedback5 Jan 2021, 17:23 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2021, 11:53 AMthedarkarmadillo Speed without bite and speed with bite are different things. Keep in mind too that war speed costs no munitions. Meaning for about the price of blitz you will have blitz pro. I think hunt will be a good addition, but we should consider OP synergy with other elements as we don't know if/when it'll be addressed again. Blitz gets better acceleration still and Combat Blitz is straight up better since you get offensive bonuses as well. War speed is fine IMO since it's end tech and excludes you from Anvil (maybe slightly less of a no-brainer with Anvil buffs and Comet nerfs but we'll see). While I agree that synergy needs to be considered I think you also have to consider that you're going to need to spend munitions for Hunt as well as tech Hammer. The 40 less EXP for Vet 1 is hardly anything (1 less model kill?) and the fact that most of the Cromwell's offensive Vet is now delayed means that it'll only be truly scary at Vet 3 with a munitions float to burn. I'd be very interested to see how OKW P4 w/ Combat Blitz vs. Hunting Cromwell interacts - I think that's the true test of how Hunt will impact balance. Also +1 to considering reverting the Comet fuel increase. If the justification for the fuel increase was to reflect the Comet's performance and then you nerf it's performance with AoE and Turret Traverse then I think it's fuel can stay the same.

Thread: Removed maps from automatch pool 20215 Jan 2021, 17:00 PM Wow 6 maps removed from 1v1? Personally most 1v1 maps don't bother me aside from Rachiprava or however you spell it. I'd much rather see a larger map pool and more vetos for those people who don't like certain maps. Though I of course welcome new maps for variety Does a map getting updated count as being removed? IE if Bayeux 2.0 gets added would that count as one of the 6? In: Lobby
