Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - British Feedback8 Jun 2021, 17:33 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Jun 2021, 05:19 AMUnit G17 (cross quoted from the ostheer thread) First of all I'm glad to hear it was considered. May I know what was the reason it was rejected in the end? I mean is it a game issue, a bug that makes it unfit for vanila or was it just a balance issue? Is there a chance we may see it in one of the future patches? Mainly Balance reasons. We discuss it and we couldn't agree of how would it work and it was a big concern that this unit will turn into overpower unit. It would require a lot of time and more than 1 patch to balance it proparely. For example as british emplacement it sohuld have brace for consistency. Brace in emplacement that can fire from half of the map would make it almost impossible to counter. It was consider as an alternative unit in advantance emplacement regiment. I guess we end with conclusion that it's bigger risk than reward. As for the future we will have to see, but sadly i doubt that we gonna see a new unit. I may not replay a lot on this forum but i can assure you that we do read most of those posts and yes, we discuss many of those topics in the meetings. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback11 Apr 2021, 11:46 AM Encirclement will probably not be change much expect breakthrough. Commander itself is design around last ability and without huge reshuffle abilities and their performance i don't see any window. Probably it will stay as it is. CAS on the other hand is generally a fine commander. All his abilities are in good spot from performance perspective. 1. Stuka dive bomb great to kill arty spam. After it was removed from elefant commander it's left only in 2 commanders. It should stay 2. CAS single pass - great to deal with tanks, or rocket arty behind lines. 3. AI pass - great to deal with blobs. Very underused 4. Supply drop - after removing it from Lufftwaffe it's the only commander with this ability. It helps to gather more ammo for other abilities 5. Recon - removing it from a commander would be a huge nerf because it combines great with AT strafe and stuka dive bomb Officer was added only in a luffwafe commander and we don't really plan to move also to CAS. Officer also has a AI pass as his ability so we would have to replace it. Don't see a need to do that if i'm gonna be honest. Commander recently is rarely used but in my opinion I don't see him as anyway weak or in need of total revamp or any swaps. Need some skill and prediction to call those abilities but if you time it correctly i can highly pay back. Fortify armour doctrine will be looked into because combination of hull down and command p4 aura is very very potent. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 21:44 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2021, 10:45 AMSmartie Thx for the update, very appreciated! About the Riegel merge: 1. Option: MOP + Riegel (new ability:251 Support Package): SR and MD 2. Option: Entrenching Tools (Osttuppen doc)+ Riegel = new ability: Defensive Tools 3. Option: Stun Grenade (Elite Doc) + Riegel =new ability:Tactical Support Tools There is an idea to make option 1 but as an upgrade so player won't be able to get spotting scopes in the same time. We will see. Thing is that Riegel is left only in elefant commander. Combine it with anything else may buff elefant commander which we would prefer to avoid. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 09:02 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Apr 2021, 20:48 PMMr. Someguy Personally I'd put Stormtroopers in Storm doctrine. Stormtroopers are already in 3 commanders. Jeager command squad only in 1. That's why we decided to add more rare unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback3 Apr 2021, 08:59 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2021, 07:40 AMSmartie So many changes, so many good ones! Here are my favorites: 1. Riegel finally removed from Storm commander and replaced by Jaeger Command unit. YES, YES, YES! 2. Luftwaffe Supply: Shit, the commander is so good! 3. Festung Armor: only 1 change but one with a big impact! Commander looking really good now! 4. Commando P4: Please stick to the mark target ability; it's really useful and it encourages to use combined arms because the P4 cant use this ability for itself. Just FIY mark target for command p4 doesn't increase damage so it doesn't make a deadly combo with Elefant. It only reduces armor (should be good vs heavies when you go T3 with p4s/stugs) and increase chance to hit the target. We decide to add light artillery barrage rather than OKW tank commander off-map so it couldn't be so deadly and it won't be use to destroy abandone teamweapons. Smoke shot should help in advancing your infantry, blind enemy mgs etc. just like cromwell and comet do. It should share the cooldown with panzertactician. If not then it's a bug. At the end if CM P4 will be overperforming we might resign from 1 of those abilities and also how passive buff will work with stuff like hull-down etc. About the Rigiel mine, we think how we could marge them or spread them across other commanders. Any idea would be welcome. - Reduce the CP requirements for smokebombs to 2CP to bring it in line with the OKW ability It's a bug. It should be 2 Things that still need to be done: - At least 1 OST commander should get the Tank Commander upgrade considering that Germany's main tank forces were on the eastern front and most of his aces served there. I think it would fit well to Blitzkrieg (replacing Tactical movement then) We already move critical repairs from OKW elite armor. I think we shouldn't mix too many abilities between OKW and OSTHEER because we loosing the diversity of those factions. For assualt grens - their sprint from the start gave them big advantage above all infantry, which allow them to win all early fights, it was fair to lock it behind BF1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Commander Update Beta 2021 - Ostheer Feedback1 Apr 2021, 20:55 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2021, 02:12 AMGachiGasm Heavy bombing run is way too expensive. 300 munition for effectively weaker Air Supremancy (250 muni). Less area coverage, takes hell of a lot time to arrive. Saving grase is that it can come from the map corner and cant be shotdown. UKF planes cant be shotdown either (before they drop bombs) and arrive faster. With a pop on the map, but still. It will be change to 250 ammo. 300 ammo it's a bug. In: COH2 Balance

It's additional sight option for a unit in a narrow maps with a lot of sight blockers. Plus it allows it to spot the snipers/cammo unit. It was written in the changelog but not pointed out.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] USF Feedback1 Dec 2020, 10:20 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Nov 2020, 21:41 PMmiragefla The AT Grenade changes was so non-vetted Rifles could snare, helping those who were rebuilt. In most cases, the AT Grenade change shouldn't change many things. Kubels and 221s arrive before the Americans can even get veterancy 1 on their Riflemen. Futhermore in test matches with mode in almost every scenario Riflemen got their AT nade earlier than vet1. Those changes are a well deserve help to rebuilded riflemen later in the game.
