Thread: Penal versatility16 Jun 2021, 08:50 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2021, 03:06 AMMr. Someguy After the changes to Shock Army, PPSh and Shock Troops are no longer possible. I meant just get a doc with shock troops, plenty of them, even the B-4 doc. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Penal versatility15 Jun 2021, 23:57 PM Penal have very high rifle damage and would be punished overall by getting PPSHs imho. Will outshoot volks and grens at all ranges. If you desire a squad with close range PPSHs, there's none better than Shock Troops. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KT is trash 14 Jun 2021, 10:11 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2021, 18:29 PMLewka Ah fair, well that gives me a better impression of 3v3 actually. I mainly do that when I'm playing with a friend and a 3rd person asks to tag along. I see your point though. I just thought, at least, as far as I was aware, the game is primarily balanced around 1v1 and 2v2 Sure, no worries. Game is mainly balanced around the smaller modes though 3v3/4v4 has an influence too (eg: or arty spam wouldn't get nerfed) Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2021, 19:46 PMelchino7 The problem is not the game mode per se, but the matchmaking. The coh2stats shows it clearly by how there are not enough players to make games "fair". I used to think so, but then you get games with aerafield and 4 or 5 digits vs premade of 4 in the low hundreds and it's ??????. Matchmaker has some real issues beyond just low player count imho, but that's just saying what everyone knows already I guess. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I think now ptrs penals are a valid at squad14 Jun 2021, 09:47 AM Just walk over them with a screening infantry squad. 3 PTRS make them fairly weak vs Axis mainlines. A good player shouldn't be surprised by them barring some fantastic deception plays and they become a ~~xpfarm~~liability vs pzgrens/Obers. Auf J will still (rightfully) roll you 95%+ of the time in a shootout. Stock pz iv still wins usually from old patch testing too iirc. tl;dr They're fine imho. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winrates indicate horrible balance13 Jun 2021, 20:18 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2021, 20:12 PMProtos Angelus Hence the interval. The averages have to add up to 100%. They don't depend on the permutations of the factions. But anyway, Sander thinks that the "boat load of buffs" will fix brit winrates, which just goes to show how delusional a person can be. A 5% error range is far too large to get meaningful data from. Eg: easily from 50 to 55% or 40 to 45%. In any case the WR percentages have been listed as opposed to arguing over semantics of whether the WR should add to 100 and we assume they are 100 - xyz. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winrates indicate horrible balance13 Jun 2021, 20:08 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2021, 19:50 PMProtos Angelus Really? If one has a winrate of 40, then the counter-part is 60. They have to add up to 100... Even with 3 ally factions vs 2 axis, the discrepancy is not large, maybe half a percent here and there. But if USF has 40%, then you can be sure that OST or OKW have somewhere between 55-60 percent They do not add up to 100 because of matters such as the team comps. Could have anything from full OKW or full OST to something in between. And then there's the Allied team comps which have the same issue. I run into full UKF enough times that it's not just a meme. Adding 4v4 OKW win rate to USF win rate is not a helpful figure in any statistical sense. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winrates indicate horrible balance13 Jun 2021, 19:15 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2021, 19:14 PMblvckdream Well Top 200 4v4 is even worse for example: For May: UKF 36.6 Soviets 43 USF 40.8 April: UKF 45.2 Soviets 38.5 USF 43 March: UKF 43.9 Soviets 45.6 USF 48.8 The Top 200 WR% are not that meaningful though because the sample size is very small.

Thread: Winrates indicate horrible balance13 Jun 2021, 19:12 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2021, 16:52 PMblvckdream Sample sizes are: (number of games played during the whole month) March/April/May 2v2 18312/23396/25088 3v3 11358/14009/14434 4v4 33032/42438/41736 Thank you for the data! Having got back home I would post something but others have already beaten me to it. On the surface it looks horrendous but I don't have much experience with using the WR of each category as a metric for balance. I had thought the game was mainly balanced towards the top few hundred players though certainly this explains a lot of the Axis OP comments I've been getting from lower rank players lately. UKF balancing does seem forever troubled hmm. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Barbed wire building exit trap13 Jun 2021, 13:57 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2021, 12:57 PMpagep Yeah just to clarify it. They entered the building trough the door which was wired. The second door was blocked off. Ah right. Supposedly in that situation, wire blocking both exits will result in passable wire (haven't tried it out). But as you've seen, if the V is far enough from the door then it doesn't register. Some will prob say that you should have spotted it being both exits blocked off, pretty unpleasant trick either way.
