Thread: USF Commander Revamp 202120 Mar 2021, 11:33 AM The Sherman Dozer upgrade should be remove from the game. The ability has many advantage over other call-in tanks: It makes Sherman tank superior to 105 Dozer tank with less restrictions It allow the tank to be build with lower fuel It allow players to upgrade the tank of teammates.

Thread: Soviet Commander Revamp 202120 Mar 2021, 11:27 AM There are certain Soviet commander that simply Overlap too much: Terror tactics and Anti infatry tactics have 3 commander abilities that are the same and while the rest are superior for Terror tactics. There are also some abilities that are very common like Shock troops being available to almost 1/3 of the commanders and ML-20 being available to 27% of the commanders In: Lobby

Thread: KV113 Mar 2021, 08:42 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2021, 00:56 AMthedarkarmadillo Yea let's link Performance to vet! Hey conscripts who just got their vet nerfed and an ability put in place to help scale, how does that work! Imagine paying 360mp and getting conscripts, but if they vet up they don't suck? But also you get conscripts.... Yes I'll TOTALLY get the 360m ones... To MY point. If both factions are balanced with their armour at a different place, say, one factions base around has a value of 75, which is balanced within its own faction,, and another faction has their armor valued at 125 with in the faction but then a tank that costs 100 will yield different results for both factions. For one its an improvement and the other its a cheaper option. As long as the factions are balanced so that the 75 and the 125 work against each other, then the 100 meaning more to one faction than the other works because the originals are balanced against each other. What 145fuel means in relation to a tank means different things to ost and soviet, for the example above.... You argument actually supports my point. Soviet faction is designed to with inferior tank and a very cost efficient TD the SU-85, because one is not meant to fight the PzIV using the T-34/76 but the TDs. Ostheer are designed to have an advantage in armor. For 40 manpower and 5 fuel Soviet get a KV-1 which is far superior to Panzer IV J. If one does not want to reduce the shock value one could add a CP restriction to delay the vehicle. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: KV112 Mar 2021, 21:36 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2021, 21:11 PMSander93 There's a difference between infantry getting more elite and logically becoming more accurate and harder to hit (becoming better at using cover, etc.) or a tank crew decreasing their reload time, and a tank suddenly being able to survive 5 shots instead of 4 or getting more armor. 99% of infantry does not get a health increase with veterancy, Grens being the sole exception. We didn't invent most of the tank durability buffs, they are mostly leftovers from Relic(at least they gave the German tanks visual clues), and the new direction is that invisible modifiers are something that should be avoided as much as possible unless it's deemed absolutely necessary to balance the unit because they are not communicated clearly with the player. Which is not the case with the KV-1. That is incorrect: KV-2/250/221/dozer/JT having HP buff is all from the MOD team. Relic actually removed HP vet bonuses from most units. Mainly Panther used to get 160 HP and JP. Side skirt indicated armor bonus in most cases and not HP. The vet level in communicated just fine and there is description of what bonuses provide that can easily and clearly say that the unit got an HP or Armor bonus. How "absolutely necessary to balance the unit" are the extra HP for the Dozer. I can accept your opinion that KV-1 should not ger armor or HP as vet bonuses but I can not accept that the reason behind it is because it does not have side skirt or other visual changes to unit itself. To me that sound like an excuse and not a reason. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KV112 Mar 2021, 18:57 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2021, 17:52 PMelchino7 That doesn't contradict what he said. Target tables are ugly but they are still been used. Will keep this sort since it is irrelevant to KV-1. 1) HP/Armor bonus are not invisible. One can see the vet level and read the description (if only description where a bit more informative). There is little difference between HP/armor vet bonus or other bonus like DPS that also do not have an indicator. 2) No having a visual indicator for HP/armor is not related to "game design" but to player "user friendliness" 3) Target are not "ugly". There are quite useful and COH2 should probably use more of them. They can become a nightmare (more for the developer than the user) when many different types of units/armor are used like they in COH1. What is actually bad design is having different unit have almost identical vet bonuses which is actually the case with T-34/76 and KV-1. The vet bonuses of KV-1 (and of many other units) should be changed and tailor made for the units role and timing. Making KV-1 vet bonuses about HP/Armor would help reduce the unit "shock value" but help it retain good power level. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: German Infantry Commander adjustments12 Mar 2021, 18:48 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2021, 18:23 PMEtherealDragon The STG is all gravy though. If 4 Men Grens beat 6 Men Cons at long range then 5 Men Grens beat 7 Men Cons. DPS doesn't dictate an engagement (RNG does) but it's still a pretty good indicator of the average result. SO if STG has a higher DPS at mid-long range then by definition that means on average they'll perform better on average at those ranges than G43. This not exactly correct and there are many variables. Before the patch when I tested vet 3 Lmg grenadier would beat 7 mean conscripts in cover to cover max range but 5 men vet 3 grenadier would lose more fight than they would win. That can be explained because the DPS drop of Lmg grenadier was less. I have not tested since the patch but I would guess that this would be similar since 5 men grenadier lost RA and Conscripts Accuracy.Conscripts can close in to grenadier and win the fight.
