Thread: (SBP) Bren Guns29 Apr 2018, 21:33 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2018, 17:43 PMthedarkarmadillo Piats have a shorter range than most AT do they not? What about allowing piats to deal engine damage avt a threshold? Or grant an snare ability that costs munitions? No Piat range is 35 as other rockets. AT rifles have 40. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sniper Role Overhaul29 Apr 2018, 13:47 PM There is no need for suppression from sniper. Sniper could be designed as counter to support weapon critical killing only the support weapon while doing normal damage to main line infantry. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Future balance tweaks for usf29 Apr 2018, 13:44 PM Major artillery is simply OP. It is dirty cheap can be combined with recon flight and one can even sacrifices the major to use and buy a new one if he need him. It has little counter other then relocating when possible. It does not need to be buffed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spring update from design point of view. 29 Apr 2018, 10:38 AM Volksgrenadiers Flame Grenade • Now requires any completed HQ building Making requirement require a set up truck is bad design. Placing truck is map depended. increase Truck fuel cost if you want to delay these abilities or make this abilities have a side tech cost. Light vehicles are very effective vs OKW because faust comes late. (actually replacing the DOT grenades in all mainline infantry with fragmentation grenades would be allot better) Sturmpioneers Concussion grenades have been adjusted to be less lethal; their main value will be their ability stun squads. • Stun Grenade damage reduced from 20 to 5 Same as Ostheer grenades. Rename to "concussion grenades" give extra damage vs heavy cover/garrison Sturmtiger • Stun duration reduced from 5 secs to 3 secs Redesign the unit to be less lethal and have more utility. Smaller kill radius, extra damage vs building/emplacements, stun/suppress vs infantry, stun/critical damage vs vehicles (gunner injured, driver injured,...) Panzer II Luchs The Luchs is having its build time reduced to give the unit more shock value upon arrival and to increase its window of opportunity. • Build time reduced from 75 to 60 Normalize the gun of the unit to be inline either with 222 or with Centaur. Lower the penalty vs light vehicles the unit needs around 3 burst to kill a M3. SdKfz 251/17 Flak Halftrack The 251 flak is having its suppression reduced to prevent it from instant-pinning squads; smoke cost has also been increased to make escaping danger more costly. • Suppression reduced from 0.3 to 0.15 • Concealment smoke increased from to 25/15 to 35/25 (vet 0/1 Give the unit 2 mode one that does damage with no suppression one with suppression and less damage.

Thread: Spring update from design point of view. 28 Apr 2018, 15:22 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Apr 2018, 14:59 PMRollingStone I wouldnt agree with previous comment at least on one point: about "tank-hunters" commander, especially with introduced changes. You see, 1)this commander already have a lot of low-CP abilities, like Mines, AT-cons package, and so on, so there is no need in others. ... Actually tank ambush should be a higher CP ability. AT mines could be merged into 1 ability with tank traps. Tank traps are not their to provide cover but to slow down tanks make them turn and expose their vulnerable rear/side armor. Armor detection should not come with PTRS the bonuses of the PTRS are simply too many, camo, AT grenade assault, first strike bonus, armor detection. The upgrade is simply one of the most cost efficient upgrades on a cheap infantry to begin with. (That is why I suggested moving the upgrade to Penals). The unit feel allot more "elite" than "low trained conscripts". In: Lobby
Thread: Spring update from design point of view. 28 Apr 2018, 13:17 PM Guards 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. • Popcap from 8 to 9 • CP requirements from 2 to 3 The increase is CP can be avoided. Imo current issues with the unit are that PTRS high AI (that can be limited with a timed ability or toggle mode) and the vet 1 ability. "Hit the dirt" is problematic ability that is baldy designed. First it has the same name as the conscripts abilities and looks the same while it works differently. A defensive ability is given to an offensive infantry (ppsh conscripts) and a offensive ability in defensive infantry guards. The ability is also one of the most powerful vet 1 abilities increasing the DPS considerably. Mosin get around 106%-117% DPS while DPs 121%-110%. In addition PTRS get 42.5 range!. It would be far better if the abilities work the same way becoming defensive abilities and timed not toggle. IL-2 Loiter The IL-2 Attack Loiter is having its damage reduced to lessen its ability to wipe infantry squads at full health. • Damage from 5 to 3 • Loiter time for each plane reduced by 3 seconds Loiter planes remain inconstant imo if they become harder to shoot down but suffer "suppression" type penalties when under fire they be allot better. The AA performance of units also need to be looked at the quad can shoot loiter planes at first pass while other struggle. Tank Hunters Doctrine To help make this commander applicable in a larger variety of situations, the following change has been made. • Replaced ML-20 with B4 AI unities like howitzer should not be available to commander that are thematically AT. The commander already has AI bonus in tanks that camo and the bombing run can kill infantry. The ability can be replaced by thing like: 5CP Conscript Repair Kit 2CP Recon Overflight 7CP Vehicle Crew Repair Training 2CP Tank Traps 2CP M-42 45mm light AT gun 4CP Allied supply Drop 4CP Armored Vehicle Detection or even return the scavenger ability. In addition from a desing point of view it would probably be better if the AT upgrade was moved to Penals from conscripts. In: Lobby
Thread: Spring update from design point of view. 28 Apr 2018, 12:03 PM Now that we have established that nagat is long range weapon movign on. SU-76 The SU-76 is having its range penetration reduced and accuracy increased. This will make the SU-76 more suited towards countering light and medium vehicles, but less effective against heavy tanks. • Penetration reduced to 200 / 160 / 140 • Accuracy increased from 0.05/0.035/0.025 to 0.06/0.05/0.04 The unit has very XP value and thus it vet too fast. The XP value of the unit need to go up. In addition make barrage the vet 1 ability instead of tracking. In order to make it better vs fast moving vehicles give the main gun a small firing angle (5 degrees?) The accuracy buff is too high especially combined with the X130% accuracy buff at vet 2. Generally vet bonuses have to be looked at if the base state are changed allot. In this case either reduce the basic accuracy or replace the accuracy buff. It also seems the barrage get very powerful with veterancy gaining -25% recharge/116.7% damage/111.1% range. SU-85 Focused Sight Ability • Sight activation bonus applies with a delay of 5 seconds • Speed penalties remain for 5 seconds after deactivation The combination of tracking and Focused sight is simply OP. I would suggested making focused sight the vet 1 ability (or removing tracking) and make the ability scale with veterancy. Maybe stat with less sight that increases with vet and penalties that reduced again with vet. Finally the ability could be timed instead of toggle. PTRS (all variants) We are lowering the PTRS’ deflection damage to reduce their impact against heavy armoured vehicles when attacking from the front. • Deflection damage reduced from 20 to 10 In addition I would suggest that AI is reduced to Penal levels. Then their could be a timed ability for Guards and Tank hunter Tommies that give this weapon AI. In: Lobby
Thread: What's with the raks stealth?27 Apr 2018, 19:02 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2018, 18:45 PMTheGentlemenTroll Ya Id agree since basically Rakens become hit and run units. You camo up to a vehicle with 2-3 and burst is then insta retreat. It be nicer if the raken actually had some staying power so it could hold ground instead of trying on the jp4 or p4 to hold ground. I never understood the target increase of such a fragile unit. I mean could have bought it the "bring in line with other units" but that is hardly the case since most seem to become more "unique" with each patch. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What's with the raks stealth?27 Apr 2018, 18:07 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2018, 17:38 PMTheGentlemenTroll I dont think I've ever seen it bounce on a medium out of camo, but I have seen it miss all the time. Also one thing to note about raken survivability is that all the models bunch up before turning around and retreating, this means that a retreating rak is super likely to get one shot by indirect or AOE as the models basically stack ontop of one another. RW has quite high penetration at 200/190/180 it would probably be better like other rockets with lower penetration and deflection damage (maybe lower damage a bit). Crew is usually to close one to another even when not retreating it gets one shoted quite often. Some damage reduction could really help the unit. (basically lower offensive performance for some defensive performance.) In: COH2 Balance
