Thread: What to do with the KT?28 Mar 2018, 12:15 PM With the current approach the game would be in much better state if the KT was removed (or become doctrinal) so that AT capabilities of the allied could be toned down to normal levels. The axis armor could become actually useful and their would be little reason for one to even bother with KT. Again with current approach one could change the role of the KT and greatly reduce the squad wiping ability making but making damage more consistent, the unit more durable than destructive, so that it acts more like a Churchill. The effectiveness of allied TD could then go down. (Imo balancing super heavies separately is a better approach) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: pzgren should be wehr's dedicated tank hunters28 Mar 2018, 12:02 PM The problem starts from the fact that allies have more cost efficient AI tanks and superior AT infantry. Guards, AT paratroopers, AT Tommies and AT Conscripts are all durable AT infantry with decent AI for the first 3 and lots of AT utility for conscripts. And in addition AT weapon are available to cheap infantry like Ro.E. R.E. AT partisan. AT infantry are much bigger threat to a axis armor than axis AT infantry to allied armor that pose a thread mostly to unsupported TDs. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Performance and cost efficiency of massed SU76s vs SU8528 Mar 2018, 11:05 AM Comparing Puma and Su-76 is misleading. Puma vs medium and above is only effective close range or on rear armor. The penetration of SU-76 at far range is actually than the penetration Puma has at close range. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Crocodile is useless in team games since patch28 Mar 2018, 09:54 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2018, 03:30 AMFiresparks that logic doesn't make sense when the king tiger (375), jagdtiger (525), and the elefant(400) all exist in game, against factions whose main gun typically top out at around 220-260. Even just the tiger (290) and panther (320) have higher armor than the churchill mk 7. and it's worth noting that the tiger's 1040 hp means it take 7 shots to kill. Balance without context is just misleading. ... 1) You are talking about frontal/side armor. Churchill currently has higher rear/side armor. Actually an Ostheer PzIV 4 parked behind a Churchill has less change to penetrate it than Churchill has to penetrate it frontally. 2) The performance of Panther vs Churchill is not actually good. It an antitank units more expensive than Churchill yet according to calculation before the patch (nwo it should perform a bit better) Panther, OST 67.75 - 90.25 it took more than 1 minute to kill it, with the stug doing allot better. 3) The units you mention are all limited to 1 Churchill is not. I used the unit when it was tougher to kill (and I guess you did also) and facing Churchill spam was not really fun to play against. The unit could have its utility increased or could have its synergy with infantry increased or even have different vet bonuses but its starting stats seem to be ok. (and the KV-1 damage reduction model should be either followed by other "heavy infantry tanks" or be removed) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Performance and cost efficiency of massed SU76s vs SU8527 Mar 2018, 23:30 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2018, 22:42 PMelchino7 49 limited time sight range is far from been OP. Also minimap spotting makes a difference with FoW penalty? Well with a sight 49 an Su-76 with no spotter support or flare can barrage a target with no FOW penalty and little warning before the first shell lands. It might not be OP but it is not bad either. As far as I know minimap information does not remove the penalty of the barrage firing in FOW. It does allow to accurately aim the barrage (that will still scatter with the penalty 25% but it will limited by scatter distance max of 10) on team-weapons without actually seeing them. Or the mini map information can be used to make sure no ATG are around so the SU-76 can then mode to closer range and barrage with vision. Keep in mind that SU-76 barrage goes up to range 90 (up to 100 at vet 3 if not mistaken) and trucking provides info up to range 70. In: COH2 Gameplay

At which angle is the vehicle gonna hit either the front or rear if they were to land a accuracy shot instead of scatter one ? ... I am under the impression without being sure that "natural" hit shots have a small random angle scatter added so if it on the side it can either hit front or rear. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Faymonville House27 Mar 2018, 16:40 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2018, 15:57 PMIncendiaryRounds The thing is Faymonville is extremely annoying since the only has one door which is on the wrong side for the defender. It's annoying as fuck as you need to grab the garrison first to prevent harrassment. Only Ost needs to build T1 first so pios are delayed. Those crucial seconds mean everything. Just because of the stupid house, I usually get ostruppen on this map so I don't need to get T1 and my pios can get there first to wire off the door. Only to my dismay, the stupid delay entering mechanic fucked everything up. Does door wiring work anymore after the delayed entering? Ostheer should have grenadier as starting unit for exactly this reason. 40 manpower could be deducted from their resources. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Penetration system27 Mar 2018, 14:26 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2018, 14:24 PMWiking Is there a more detail on how side armor hit registers either as front or rear? Random black box? 50/50? Each vehicles has a hit box so it depends weather the shot collides with front of the vehicle or back. AOE penetration probably works similarly. In: COH2 Gameplay
