Thread: Guards need a adjustment2 May 2018, 12:28 PM According to Relic Guards are OP and that is why they are getting nerfed. Their getting less deflection more pop and more CP. "We are lowering the PTRS’ deflection damage to reduce their impact against heavy armoured vehicles when attacking from the front." (something I did pointed out when the deflection damage was increased) "Guards are having their timing adjusted through a CP increase due to their over effectiveness against a wide range of targets at the time they hit the field; their population is also being increased to match other elite squads."

Thread: Spring update from design point of view. 2 May 2018, 11:13 AM Bren Mk. II Light Machine Gun Bren Guns are being adjusted to be less potent at range, though their price is being reduced to match their new performance. • Sappers now use Tommy Bren Gun on pick up • Cost from 60 to 45 • Accuracy reduced from 0.575/0.518/0.46 to 0.575/0.4144/0.391 • Mid range reduced from 28 to 25 Having auxiliary troops and mainline infantry using the same while having elite using a better version is bad design. Either make all elite infantry pick a better version of weapons and all auxiliary a lesser or have bonuses and penalties allied to squad simplifying the mechanism across all units. Applying different mechanisms in different units for the same affect only complicates things without any real benefit. 2 brens on commandos are simply OP especially compared to the ober lmg with a cost of 80mu. (Almost 170% more effective) Since RO can still equip 1-2 Vickers K and bren I would suggest to redesign the weapon to be closer to an assault rifle than a hmg. Allow it to fire on the move so the help UKF infantry in their weak spot and leave -K as the LMG. Sappers The Heavy Sapper upgrade is having its price reduced to better reflect its price. • Sapper Heavy Sapper upgrade munition cost reduced from 70 to 60 Redesign the ability into option, one will increase the repair speed and one will increase their fighting skills without the movement penalties.

IIRC the falls still have instant grenade, as well. They could get the infiltration commandos treatment. Fall airdrop like paras. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guards need a adjustment30 Apr 2018, 22:44 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2018, 22:08 PMthedarkarmadillo Theres no unit like guards. Upgraded they are potent thats undeniable but there is no other unit in the game that loses 2/3 of its firepower by moving/being displaced. And those remaining weapons are bolt actions no less. Heavy infantry. And while 6 models iirc they have a target size of 1 making them only as durable as any other soviet squad. But 3 cp will be a fine nerf given their performance and the sov now having AT in both tiers. Edit: maybe give them slightly longer set up time so they are less attack movey and more prepared positiony Guards are target size 0.97. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript Merge Ability Question30 Apr 2018, 22:40 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2018, 18:46 PMferwiner In general you always want to merge when in combat. In base merge only if the unit you merge into is significanlty more expensive and has no armour (for example guards). Don't merge into support weapons with stock crews unless you need to keep them alive in battle. MGs get worse RA after merge, other support weapons also cost less to reinforce than conscripts. Do merge into captured support weapons, they are either conscripts, so you lose nothing, or more expensive models that don't really need their RA that much in this role. Think you got something wrong, hmg and mortars have target size of 1.25 while conscripts have a target size of 1.09 so conscripts have better RA. Only ATGs have target size 1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Conscript Merge Ability Question30 Apr 2018, 17:33 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2018, 17:20 PMgunther09 my take away is: merging a vet0 con into a vet3 is a no brainer - always good. merging a consript into a penal/shock/... can be helpful on the frontline, especially if the "merge to" squad has more vet. If you are near base: better get "real" base reinforcements. correct conclusion? Since conscripts are cheaper to reinforce merging to Penals, support weapon and Guards is usually worth it even at base. Merging to shock is very situational. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Heavy Gammon bombs (hammer/anvil redesign)30 Apr 2018, 17:23 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2018, 16:59 PMswordfisch Indeed I admit I was wrong, but this ability is so rarely used literally noone has noticed the patchnotes. ... Everyone makes a mistakes from time to time, only the wise thou admit it, so congratulations. Some choose to insist in their error making more mistake in the process. The ability can be powerful if it lands but the chances are small. As many other things in the game it should be more reliable and less powerful. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Conscript Merge Ability Question30 Apr 2018, 14:58 PM Let me clarify: It remains a conscripts vet 0 model with the base stats of conscripts entities with the weapon of the unit it has merged into and any vet bonuses that unit has. In: COH2 Gameplay
