Thread: Coh2 vs Coh1 comparison24 Aug 2017, 12:38 PM If CoH1 didn't have CoH1 snipers, the entire CoH1 Brit faction (sorry, it's completely unsalvageable) and PE blob veterancy & Panther spam, it would be the far most compelling game of the two. However, given that CoH1 does have those mechanics/factions and that those feature very prominently, no matter what you do, CoH2 is the better game. In: Lobby
Thread: Factional Showdown E2: USF vs. OKW - sign ups!24 Aug 2017, 11:17 AM Would a better compromise be doing the factional showdown on live-patch and requiring participants not to use call-ins until they've teched major/T4? Otherwise, live-version USF vs OKW is a bit of a borefest In: Lobby

Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)23 Aug 2017, 00:03 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2017, 00:03 AMthekingsown10 I am referring the potential live game not the mod . I don't play mods and only test balance patches. https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/244194/fall-balance-preview-changelog#latest There is nothing about Bofors on here thus we have a critical flaw. Changing some things and leaving others just creates more imbalance. You should ask Relic about why they chose to cut changes out of the scope; not us. Note that if we leave hitbox size for motar pits untouched, as you request, Brits will be completely hepless to the new ISG. I bet you haven't tried the ISG. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)22 Aug 2017, 23:51 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2017, 23:34 PMthekingsown10 The problem is mr smith is that there are no changes in the patch for field hq only for the mod and having to scoop out 40 munitions with no guarantee of even destroying the building especially the larger ones is a massive drain on resources just to attempt to counter a broken mechanic.This is like taking the roof of a house in april and saying the rain is not in scope. Sure I will share another, In the patch notes it says the mortar pit has been reduced to a target size of 1 despite its massive size and making it more vulnerable to small arms. The flaw is 90% of the time a bofors is protecting a mortar pit and will decimate any infantry or light vehicle in seconds regardless if they try to retreat or not. Thus making the most liable counter for emplacements AT guns useless. This makes countering emplacements even harder as you need 2 separate strategy's to kill emplacements. The Bofors is amazing against infantry, light vehicles , does a decent job at medium tanks , and even knocks hp off heavy tanks to add more wood to the fire it is also a bracing artillery piece. Utterly astonishing for 280 manpower and 30 fuel. I think it would be far better to have things as they are in regards to emplacements (apart from mortar range and reducing the bofors insane squad wiping potential) but have brace drain manpower when used so it can't be spammed . This will be a far simpler and more effective way of balancing emplacements especially considering the ultra cheap cost it has. Right. Let me link the changes for the Bofors too, because you seem to be too lazy to read them for yourself: Bofors The changes to the Bofors make it so that the Bofors gives up 50% of its killing power in return for some suppression. Overall, the Bofors becomes: More resilient to small arms fire Vulnerable to indirect fire and ballistic AT fire - Rate of fire decreased from 4 to 2 - Increased damage vs garrisoned squads - Fixes a bug where the Bofors would continue firing its barrage while there were no occupants inside - Hitpoints from 1000 to 800 - Armor from 5 to 25 (when fully built) - Armour from 5 to 1, while not completed - Target size from 40 to 15 - Population cap from 10 to 6 - Veterancy requirements reduced from 2000/4000/8000 to 450/900/1800 Note that Bofors is also affected by brace changes: Brace Our changes to Brace make it so the ability can no longer be used to deny flanks and absorb mass amounts of damage. Instead, it is an ability that can be used to prolong the emplacement’s lifespan against off-maps and indirect fire. - Duration reduced from 30 to 10 - No longer increases emplacement armor - Now also reduces incoming damage to garrisoned squad by 75% In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Penal satchel stickiness22 Aug 2017, 09:15 AM What you're asking for is already there at FBP. In FBP the satchels will always home in on the target, even after the target leaves range. Of course, the satchels will only be available if the Penal squad has bought the PTRS upgrade. This is precisely to make the PTRS upgrade worth getting. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)22 Aug 2017, 09:10 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2017, 23:03 PMthekingsown10 you realize by reducing the OKW stuka vs buildings damage, you are taking away the single and only counter OKW has against Soviet field HQ abuse? I have noticed many other critical flaws that people don't seem to be noticing. Keep in mind that WFA changes come along with EFA changes: https://www.coh2.org/topic/61465/eastern-front-armies-revamp So, let me help you here, by bringing up what you are looking for: Forward headquarters We are seeking ways to make the ability more attractive by making the Forward HQ cheaper to deploy, while reducing the amount of frustration it can pile on the enemy if “abused” on heavily urban maps. Furthermore, we have allowed an option for Soviets to deploy a Forward Post, allowing the doctrine’s key ability to be used even when all buildings have been levelled. - Reduce price from 300/60 to 250/30 - Aura removed - Can only be activated in connected territory - Forward HQ can now now be constructed by Soviet Engineers The reason why walking stuka (or any unit) should not be allowed to demolish buildings from afar in one go are the garrison changes. So, let me also look that up for you here: Garrisons - Grenade damage against buildings significantly lowered - Load time for buildings increased to 1 (per model) - Max load time increased to 3.25 (entire squad) - Unload time for buildings increased to 0.5 (per model) (This may not affect all garrisons, though, due to modding tools limitations) Given the delay in hoping-in/out of garrisons, and the cost discount on the walking stuka, it would be completely unfair for the unit to wipe units from afar. Finally, note that the walking stuka receives its incendiary barrage at Vet0, which you can use to burn down garrisons. Which are the other critical flaws that you're referring to? In: COH2 Gameplay
