Thread: Brit tank scatter20 Jul 2018, 09:56 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2018, 09:52 AMCombatWombat What are the numbers for the armour and size of the Centaur and Ostwind? I can't find an up-to-date source for stats theses days you can find them in cruzz's calculator maybe in firesparks file also. ostwind Target size: 22 Sight: 35 Speed: 6.3 Accel: 2.1 Rotate: 32 Armor: 110/55 Health: 640 Centaur Target size: 18 Sight: 35 Speed: 5.2 Accel: 1.8 Rotate: 28 Armor: 160/80 Health: 640 The combination of "medium armor" and small size and lots of AI make very few unit good in countering the Centaur.

Thread: Brit tank scatter20 Jul 2018, 09:47 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2018, 09:42 AMCombatWombat Centaur is still decent and a must have for every game but not nearly as terrifying as the Brumbar. It would be interesting to test the AI performance of Centaur against Ostwind and other dedicated AI platforms. Centaur is superior to Ostwind and not just damage, the units has high armor and small size (the stats of a pre-nerfed Cromwell if I remember correctly). The cover penalties of the unit are a bit low. Brumbar is not in the same league as Centaur and delivers damage in different way so they should not really be compared. Finally Centaur damage vs light vehicles should have penalties the same way Luch has since it can destroy them in seconds. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German units too cheap or are Allied units too expensive?20 Jul 2018, 09:04 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2018, 06:54 AMCODGUY ... I play mainly USF and UKF in 1v1 matches but the latter is almost unplayable now due to a balance team repeatedly giving in to Wehraboo moaning over the last few years. ... And here lays your problem. Try to play OKW and Ostheer and reach 200 position in ladder. Seems like the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. In: COH2 Balance

With the Bren gun and Centuar nerf, the Brits do need a vehicle with decent AI but the Comet can't even outperform a Panther in that regard - which is just a sad state of affairs. Actually Centaur remains one of the most cost efficient AI tanks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Light Vehicle Meta needs to Stop20 Jul 2018, 08:55 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2018, 02:18 AMCODGUY Anyone who says USF has no weaknesses hasn't spent any time playing USF. They were the worst faction in the game for a long time until the winter 2017 patch with the Jackson buff and then this last spring with the "screw Brits 2018 balance patch". Early game is a nightmare for USF between Volks blobs + Strumpioneer rushes and then God help you if your OST opponent rushes an MG42 into a building early because you aren't getting it out anytime soon. I guess according to you they still worst faction when they had the best (broken) mortar in the game... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A merge question about engies and cons19 Jul 2018, 19:33 PM No merged members use the weapons the unit they merged into. They also use the target of conscripts which is worse. So merging with CE be avoided unless you are trying to keep a flamer in the front line In: Red Army Strategies

No problem. Patch notes:" Can now build M7 Light Anti-Vehicle Mines; reduces vehicle movement and rotation speed by 50% for 8 seconds. 10 munitions" In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How to screen jacksons against medium tanks.19 Jul 2018, 13:47 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2018, 13:41 PMTomDRV Mines . .. yeah . . but they seem a large investment for something that might get driven over, if it isn't detonated by inf. I have the biggest problems on open maps with few obvious routes R.E. and m20 mines work only vs vehicles. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How to screen jacksons against medium tanks.19 Jul 2018, 13:04 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2018, 12:56 PMTomDRV As per title, ... have you tried mines and tank traps? Tank trap can be used to slow down tanks. When it comes to mines, R.E. and m20s have one version each stock while doctrinal they are available to doctrines with assault engineers (2), riflemen (2) and recon paratroopers (1).

Thread: Is it time to rework howitzers?19 Jul 2018, 09:53 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2018, 09:41 AMElSlayer ... Other thing I have in mind is to add stun effect in AoE larger than damaging AoE. Stun affects for howitzers that fire multiple shells would be too much, other affects like "shell shock" that would lower the DPS could be allot more balanced. In: COH2 Gameplay
