Thread: Fall Balance Preview: Maxim26 Jul 2017, 09:44 AM Instead of these buffs try removing the change magazine from the vet 1 ability. That would make vet 1 ability easier to use and maxim spam less viable while keeping vetted maxims relative in the game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fall balance patch - Raketen nerf26 Jul 2017, 09:39 AM All this comments simply verify that the units performance is inconstant: too weak at vet 0 too strong above vet 3 but still able to be killed extremely fast. Increasing target size will help the unit perform more consistently. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What's your idea for conscripts in terms of design26 Jul 2017, 09:27 AM In the current implementation conscripts can receive minor buff like: 1) Target size to 1 so that merge becomes more attractive 2) A small increase in molotov animation. (this must be done careful since incendiary grenades is one of the reason Gv are OP) The rest are issues of units from other faction over performing. Generally speaking the longer the small arm fire last the more tactical become and the less RNG. If one was to redesign conscripts I would suggest the following: Conscripts designed as defensive infantry: Changes would include losing ourah, swapping molotov for normal grenade, increase AT grenade range, replacing tripwire with defensive ability like "hit the ground" or timed ability costing mu that increase DPS when stationary and cover. Penal turned into an offensive infantry. Cost around 200-220 ourah (with penalties scaling with veterancy), molotov, PPsh and so on. Those changes aim at giving Soviet the access to both a defensive and offensive infantry stock and leaving room for the elite infantries. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Lategame units vet25 Jul 2017, 09:53 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2017, 09:27 AM__deleted__ I agree, but this also has to come with slover repair speed, so if you actually damage the vehicle it should remain out of combat for some time Yep repair speeds should be normalized across factions. I would even take further where engineers with weapons upgrades actually repair slower than engineer or/and engineers with minesweepers. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lategame units vet25 Jul 2017, 09:23 AM In the vanilla COH2 Ostheer vehicles where designed to be more durable and gain durability via first levels of veterancy so that they would vet rather slow. All this changed with WFA and the buff that Tds got. Imo reducing the lethality of the Tds is the way to go... On the other hand most vet bonuses and abilities (especially EFA)need to be revised.

Thread: Rifleman moving cooldown penalty and RE cost24 Jul 2017, 23:02 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2017, 22:20 PMBizrock I'am pretty sure Pios can rush RE and still win and by the way, Pios can be very good planting mines while RE can build Tank traps (Kappa). Pios are very useful with Flamethrower upgrade (I said "USEFUL") while RE can only obtain it with Commander. But I'm not here comparing both, the purpose of RE that's broken. In the text, it said it's a "Cheap" infantry for recrewing support weapons and etc while they are the same price as Volks, that's what doesn't make any sense. Comparing a engineer type unit with mainline infantry units make little sense to begin with. Cheap RE have been tested it resulted in RE blobs with weapon punching above their price especially since the get a big accuracy bonus in vet 1. December Balance "Rear Echelons We have scaled up Rear echelons up slightly to reduce spam. Rear echelons cost up from 160 to 200 Rear echelon rifle damage up from 8 to 10" As long as rack weapon with full DPS (even being better in their hand by vet 1), are available to RE this issue will exist.

Thread: Wehr Panther: Still forgotten24 Jul 2017, 21:58 PM Imo the problem is partially the Panther and Partially the cost efficiency of allied TDs at range above 50. At this point making Tiger stock unit and Panther doctrinal seems a reasonable solution... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Fall Balance Preview24 Jul 2017, 21:55 PM If FRP points are in scope Forward HQ should also be... For instance this changes: • OKW Battlegroup unable to reinforce if cut-off from friendly territory. make should affect FHQ also... In: Lobby
Thread: Rifleman moving cooldown penalty and RE cost24 Jul 2017, 21:47 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2017, 21:32 PMBizrock Conscripts can do the same, and still be better at this, and they are WAY cheaper than RE. The point is, RE shouldn't be the same price as Standard infantry like Volks and perform worse, very worse. Compare RE with Pios. You will find that they are better fighting unit... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Call-in changes in FBP24 Jul 2017, 20:23 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jul 2017, 19:50 PMPuppetmaster All call ins are affected by increased costs if you don't tech. That isn't a reason to give an already strong unit a cost reduction (which is a buff). It is better than a standard OKW Panther which is why it should cost more. Also in team games (esp 3s and 4s) you can sometimes be waiting on CP's but not resources. Hell in a 2's game yesterday with 2x <100 players I tech'd T4 and then got a CP out. I have explained which tanks should be affected by the cost increase and why. If you remember Easy and T34/76 saw a cost reduction when tech cost was required of them. The C. panther higher price is only justified if other tank are around or by the debuff, having and a tech cost and significant higher price makes the unit not worth it in 1vs1. The issue in higher modes has to do more with inflated economy and other factors and not the unit itself. Fixing those factor is better approach. CP gain in larger modes (3vs3, 4vs4) is slower and usually one has the resources to tech before one enough CP. You can check SiphonX thread about it. Imo generally speaking aura units should be weaker that their counterpart but cheaper and their auras should scale with veterancy. Finally C.Panther is not what this thread is about, so one should not focus on the suggested changes in the specific unit. In: COH2 Balance
