Thread: OKW - Grand Offensive - Feedback3 Apr 2019, 14:33 PM I like Stark's idea of reworking the Tiger's Inspire ability to make it more usable. It might be nice if it worked like Command Panther Aura and unlocks at Vet 1 but becomes progressively better with each level of Vet. Being locked behind Vet 4-5 is kind of pointless for how often the Tiger is liable to actually reach that level. Another idea would be to have 2 separate Command Abilities - one for infantry and one for vehicles. The infantry ability might work like Combined Arms and not nerf the Tiger's ability - it's MUCH more usable for those likely situations where the Tiger is your lone piece of armor supporting infantry. The vehicle ability could be geared towards swarm/blitzkrieg tactics and nerf the tiger's combat ability in favor of tactical armor play. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet - Airbourne feedback2 Apr 2019, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Apr 2019, 17:34 PMVipper I have actually suggested that it should probably truck enemy vehicles with in the strafe area in order to become more effective. This might be okay if they increased the rocket AOE so it did more splash damage and made it do very little damage to infantry OR found a way to improve it's collision detection. I'm just skeptical because a powerful rocket that's hard to land is still useless and if you increase the speed then it's impossible to dodge and cancerous like old CAS Commander. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet - Airbourne feedback2 Apr 2019, 15:51 PM I feel like as of 2.0 this commander is moving in the right direction. I feel like the AT strafe continues to be the weak link in this commander as the ability that is supposed to be your late-game AT supplement. While I appreciate a new ability for variety and something that is cheaper and able to be used more often I find the "skill shot" nature too problematic for the ability to be ever be useful as just a pure DPS ability due to the high liklihood of most of the rockets missing. If this ability remains a skill shot I think there should be some kind of temporary debuff applied similar to tulip rockets so that it can function as more of a synergy ability to work with AT guns and SU85s and still reward you for near misses and glancing blows.

Thread: Maybe stumtiger should remove reload DEBUFF？28 Mar 2019, 02:53 AM Vipper has an excellent point - now that KT can get Commander upgrade the extra accuracy means that it performs really well and you're likely going to want to get that since it overall is more flexible to use. Honestly IDK how OP having both Sturm and KT would be given the teching costs AND pop cap needed to have both on field at same time. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet - Airbourne feedback27 Mar 2019, 18:15 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2019, 13:14 PMKatitof That's with extremely generous assumption it actually is an issue. Flamers usually fight at range 20, SVTs add 4,5 DPS at that range for CEs and SVTs don't really try to focus model after model, flamer alone may have ~5 DPS, but it does have AoE as well, so assuming THE absolutely WORST case scenario, where all models focus on 1 model, a gren model would die in ~6 seconds instead of ~8. I was thinking more along the lines of you wanting flamer for garrison/heavy cover denial - where losing that utility hurts you a lot more than DPS at different ranges. Also I guess the fact that flamethrowers don't use accuracy so they are better against squads with high RA. Either way, point being that SVT upgrade probably has the biggest boost for CE and to not be able to use it in conjunction with flamer makes it even less appealing of an ability to me. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet - Airbourne feedback27 Mar 2019, 13:09 PM One thing I noticed yesterday that should probably get changed is that the weapon slot priority of SVTs is higher than Flamethrower for Engineers - so as soon as the first model dies you lose your flamer. It should be higher for flamer. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Urban Assault -Feedback25 Mar 2019, 03:33 AM I don't know, I don't really want a million armor units in this commander when you are never going to have enough fuel to have both Dozer Shermans, Calliope, AND another doctrinal armor unit. I think this commander would be a lot more attractive if you tweaked the Dozer Blade upgrade to make it more attractive, slightly buffed Calliope more, and maybe replaced smoke with something more sexy. Personally I'd like to see Riflemen Flares (possibly bundled with something else) make it's way into the commander as a munitions based way to spot for Calliope. In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet - Airbourne feedback25 Mar 2019, 02:43 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2019, 00:30 AMMrBananaGrabber. Giving the Airborne Guards AT nades would help them snare tanks for the IL-2 Rocket Strafe. They could be a useful way of helping to tip a tank battle in the Soviet's favour, especially if they had an anti-tank weapon package option. Something different from Button to be sure. You can't go wrong with AT nades but given the fact that SVT drop means this commander will likely use Conscipt based builds I'm not sure if that is the best option seeing as how you'll likely already have AT nade squads. I would say Light AT mines but nobody ever uses those on Tank Hunters or REs anyway so it'd be pretty pointless. Maybe some kind of "Target Tread" clone? On another note I feel like the Airborne Rally points are too squishy considering their fuel cost. Maybe consider removing the initial cost and make them free like beacons (but only able to reinforce Airborne Guards) and then add an upgrade cost that'll make the rally point have more HP/Armor and have enemy detection and such. It would also be cool if the upgraded Rally Point had weapon racks like Brit Forward Assembly (if the whole team game synergy thing ever becomes a serious concern). In: Lobby
Thread: Wehrmacht - Strategic Reserves - Feedback21 Mar 2019, 19:05 PM I suppose one option to replace Radio Intercept if it's unsalvageable would be Counterattack Tactics from Mobile Defense or Breakthrough for faster capping. - it would fit in as an Early CP ability that's thematically appropriate for a Reserves Unit that is counterattacking to regain territory. In: Lobby
Thread: British - Lend Lease Assault - Feedback21 Mar 2019, 18:55 PM I'm a fan of the suggestion from the other thread of giving the commander the M5 with Quad Upgrade (buffed) - little more versatile since it gives you option for another offensive light vehicle option while performing same role. If they do keep the M3 I hope they add the Med Kits ability which is useful in conjunction with the Assault Tommies being Med-Kit-less. In: COH2 Balance
