Thread: Feedback for Commander RevamppatchToday, 13:24 PM Jump back to quoted postToday, 10:37 AMA. Soldier And what are you going to replace the M10 in Armor Company then? I can quote you saying several times here that the commander shouldn't have both an AI and AT call in units. ... There many solution for armor company. For instance since Dozer is now so powerful (OP in my opinion especially thru reserved armor) one could make Dozer also require Major instead of being a call-in. Then M-10 could stay at armor. Or one could move the 76mm Sherman to armor. 76mm Sherman would then need to be redesigned, for instance one could model it after Ez8 but trade some of the AT of the Ez8 (penetration) for AI or clone the 75mm and replace HE round ability with AP rounds ability. One could even completely remove the idea of call-in and simply add an ability that would allow Sherman to upgrade for increased HP. (for instance sandbag...) Thematically the commander should have something that promotes the use of armor and/or that makes its armor better than stock. In: Lobby
Thread: Feedback for Commander RevamppatchToday, 09:58 AM Jump back to quoted postToday, 02:00 AMCobaltX105 I had an idea for the M10 in another thread, but I never did post it here in the feedback one. Maybe they could take away the HVAP shells, but give it the same penetration values as the Easy Eight, move 'Flanking Speed' to Vet 1, and add a penetration bonus of 30% at Vet 3. Current M10 weapon pen (140/160/180) Current EZ8 weapon pen (155/165/200) Then it could more consistently engage mediums from the get go without needing to spend muni, but without the HVAP would require greater numbers to take on heavies (which is/should be the Jackson's role), though if you've got one to vet 3 it'll be worth keeping alive as well with the increased penetration (202/215/260) That cloak ability from CoH mentioned above would also be very useful in helping the M10 stay relevant for ambushes too. The unit is a Flanker and should be used similarly to Puma to engage enemy vehicles from the side or the rear. I has enough penetration to do that. Actually the unit was very cost efficient until 2 changes too place: 1) it required tech 2) M-36 was buffed and now it has to compete with the M-36. So my suggestions would be to simply make it a call-in and build-able from major for a discount. Since the unit is specialized it should not create many issues as a call-in as long as it in an commander that does not have AI call-in vehicles available to him so that he can completely skip major with not drawbacks. In other word simply mode the unit to mechanized, it suit the commander thematically and enhance the commanders specialization of using lighter vehicles for a strong early mid game. In: Lobby
Thread: Rifle Company need to be reworkToday, 09:39 AM Flamers on RE is strong ability. Ez8 is a very cost efficient tank. WP is a good off map. Buff the other 2 command abilities and the Commander will simply be OP. The idea that all of the abilities of commander should be great is wrong. Commander should have a mix abilities with different potency so that total strength of commander should be about equal. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Feedback for Commander RevamppatchYesterday, 16:03 PM Jump back to quoted postYesterday, 08:59 AMjagd wölfe I like this idea as long as the HVAP is toned down a bit and doesn't get to counter Heavy tanks like Tiger 1 or 2 (it pens reliably Tiger 1 atm). ... Imo if 76mm Sherman costed 110 fuel it should not be able to deal with Tigers, the HVAP should simply help it against the armor of PzIV, especially since PzIV cost more. Jump back to quoted postYesterday, 15:18 PMLoopDloop Yes, and I'm not saying that the 76mm in its current revamp state is not overpowered lol. I'm saying that your suggested changes would make it not very effective and I personally would find no reason to build it if it's just a shitty compromise between sherman and jackson that can't do either job as well as its counterparts. ... I dont know about you, but I don't really find combining a 75mm Sherman with the scott or Dozer very effective since the Sherman already has good AI. On the other hand a I would find a Sherman with better AT to work better in those combos. Even a 76mm and 75mm would work better together since one of them could switch munition to better deal with the threat that they would face. (I will not go into Heavy/medium TDs in this thread) In: Lobby
Thread: Stormtrooper changesYesterday, 08:44 AM Unit could simply become cheaper if its role is harassment and re balanced. 2 G43 + 2 k98 make sense as starting weapons. Weapon upgrades if they need any could include a number of combos. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: penal PTRS and engie flamethrower not firing from m3 bugYesterday, 08:38 AM Jump back to quoted postYesterday, 08:32 AMKatitof He specifically mentions soviet M3. 2 squads can not go into it. I have never seen a flamer not firing from an M3 if in range, I have seen one not firing from an M5 when 2 squad are loaded. As for PTRS I am not 100% certain but at least one of them seems to always fire from an M3. Priority can also be tricky especially if the squad has lots of weapon like Lmg and AT weapons. I am not sure if OP is not confused or actually got a bug. Finally I am simply explaining the mechanisms of the game. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: penal PTRS and engie flamethrower not firing from m3 bugYesterday, 08:28 AM Jump back to quoted postYesterday, 08:04 AMgbem shouldnt the flamethrower/ptrs be a priority? the definition of a bug "an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result" since the flamer/ptrs firing from an m3 or a house is intended by the developers (else it would be removed) wouldnt that mean that it not firing is unintentional? the flamethrower/ptrs not firing from the m3 is really fatal flaw/failure that can result into a loss... should prolly be fixed That probably happened because you had 2 squads in the HT. Load 1 and it will probably be fine. I guess it also a way to reduce the "drive by" shooting effect since having 4 or 6 lmgs(UKF),2 flamers,... out of HT can be allot more trouble than the current "bug". In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Feedback for Commander RevamppatchYesterday, 08:20 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 23:15 PMLoopDloop ... Having another version of the 75mm sherman that is worse against tanks than the jackson but that can't kill infantry effectively is not that appealing IMO. Having a main battle tank that is a good as a top TD vs tanks would be simply OP and would also overlap with the EZ8. What I am suggesting is that 76mm is a bit better vs PzIV for the same price. The 75mm Sherman can kill infantry effectively even without the HE (and so would the 76mm if they where identical) and USF already have lots of AI available from other sources. (The Jackson it self should not be a cost effective counter to PzIV.) In: Lobby
Thread: Cruzz's The More You KnowYesterday, 07:23 AM Jump back to quoted postYesterday, 03:12 AMShadowLinkX37 How does target range in the mod files work? By "target range" I mean the far/mid/near for when stats change. For example let's use Ost P4 main gun. 40/20/0 is its far/mid/near for penetration calculations. Pen is 125/115/110 Now is this dynamic? meaning that say you're at range 30, does your penetration go 50% between mid and far which would be 112.5 or does it remain at far range till it crosses the 20 range threshold? OR does it go to the closet value, say you're at 25 range it would then go to mid range pen for its calculation. If it is threshold based and a lot of near calculation ranges are 0, wouldn't that be near impossible to achieve? You'd be a lot more likely to run into pathing problems and probably wouldn't even reach near range. Also can you give me a run down of how scatter calculations work? I always forget Range is calculated linearly thus penetration, accuracy, rate of fire are also calculated linearly. For scatter look at the first page of this thread or here: https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/231279/a-guide-to-d-p-s-basics#latest In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: penal PTRS and engie flamethrower not firing from m3 bugYesterday, 07:18 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2018, 23:19 PMgbem anyone had this bug aswell? i just lost a game thanks to a penal squad that refused to fire at a flame halftrack at the perfect moment M3 have a number of slot where entities can fire from. Its similar to the number of windows in house. Thus some of the entities will not fire. This is not a bug. In: COH2 Bugs
