Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 14:26 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 14:15 PMMr Carmine I dont agree that the panther is a mix of mediocre characteristics. Its very mobile, the heavy crush allows it to move around unhindered while being about as fast as any medium. Its armour is only reliably penned by dedicated td's. It has more range then any medium, it has more pen and more acc then any medium. That is because you choose to compare it with medium tanks while it is a TD. I has less range then most allied TD, less penetration and less accuracy. On top of that it cost more and has higher pop. Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 14:15 PMMr Carmine Just by glancing at its cost and stats shows the panther is not meant to be the answer to every tank. Its meant to be a heavy counter. The stug and jp4 do a more then adaquate job vs meds. Even both p4 do a good job vs mediums then allied meds do vs p4,'s. PzIV is good vs mediums but it is not got vs premium mediums and get rolf stop by heavy tanks(not super heavy). Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 14:15 PMMr Carmine The acc buff also negates the target size reduction only on the allied side. Allied TDs get 3 times the bonus Panther gets while more accurate to begin with and while vetting faster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 13:54 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 13:22 PMEsxile Can the mod team answer Katikof question? I think it is a good one. Was the panther really inacurrate vs heavies and super heavies? Aren´t you again creating an -one unit to answer all problems? Panther (and other units) become less accurate vs medium in previous patch by roughly 10% with size reduction. Unlike other allied TDs (that start with higher accuracy and some of them even have better accuracy on the move) the Panther did not get accuracy bones and even with this patch it get 10% while allied TD gain 3 times that. Now once vet 2 (which is reached slower than allied TDs,) it will perform vs medium as it did (before size reduction) at vet 0. This is simply a storm in a cup. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] Bug Reporting4 Dec 2020, 13:07 PM The new mortar barrage icon over laps with icon for mortar barrage counter fire on the advance emplacement commander. This is minor issues since both abilities need to be looked at (the new barrage has little place as stock in game and commander ability little use since it has the same cost as 25p barrage), but I think it worth bringing it up.

Imo having medium tank with range 40 being damage with probabilities that close to 100% from range 60 is bad for the game. In addition making stock units expensive and all powerful is again bad for the game. In sort the power level of units like the M36 is bad for the game. (Since this is a feedback thread pls contact me via PM or start a thread about TDs/Medium tanks.) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Random OKW in team games – blood, guts and glory4 Dec 2020, 12:47 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 12:30 PMHannibal That design is long gone and while I am not a friend of caches and their current design, it would add consistency though. What can I say, I like flavor. If there is a need for extra fuel for OKW I would still rather make UHU doctrinal (and improve it) and replace it with Opel truck that provided fuel either from enemy or friendly sectors. It would be more fitting thematically and the fuel income could fine tuned to fit the faction. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 12:39 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 12:34 PMSelvy289 This goes way back to when I discussed the m4c and the 76mm. It is very efficient at wher tier 3 however, if your have a look at one of the grand final games when one of the players whet all 76mm against superior armor, he lost because he didn't have a jackson and the 76mm kept being zoned out by at guns. So using medium tanks to counter TDs like the Panther and ATGs does not work, think should be expected. My point is simply it has been argue that M36 should be anti everything (from kubel to KT) else the USF would collapse and the tournament prove that argument wrong. As you have also pointed out USF can deal with Ostheer T3. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 12:19 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 12:15 PMKatitof Please remind me, which stock TD is below M-36 for USF? With the exception of 2 commanders (priest/caloipe) USF have tanks that can on parallel or superior to PzIV. In addition the latest tournament proved that USF do not need M36 to deal with PzIV. In sort you "stock" requirement does not mean a thing. Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 12:15 PMKatitof And I won't mind seeing more SU-76s, you know, this unit that specifically gets buffed now so we see more of it? In sort you agree that SU-85 should lose its accuracy bonuses now so we can see more use of the SU-76. Finally the JP is not cost efficient counter to mediums since more expensive than most of them.

Thread: [Winter Balance Update] General Discussion4 Dec 2020, 12:12 PM Yes using heavy TDs like SU-85/M-36/Panther vs medium should be discouraged lets removed all their accuracy bonuses. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Random OKW in team games – blood, guts and glory4 Dec 2020, 11:55 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2020, 11:49 AMHannibal But why not just add caches to OKW instead of complicated doctrinal reworks? Because okw where designed to be played with lower fuel income and the problem exist mostly under specific situation (all okw teams). If they get cashes, KT would proably have to be removed from stock. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Random OKW in team games – blood, guts and glory4 Dec 2020, 11:31 AM Yes all OKW have a disadvantage in large modes if the games has a long duration. I would argue that most all one "faction" teams have a disadvantage (although probably smaller ones). On the Other hand the "solution" will probably create more problems than it would solve. On the matter 221/223 the unit is simply badly designed as support unit . It has comparatively high cost/lower return and a Pop. I would rather have it replaced by Opel truck that "siphon" (the ability exist in the game already) resources from enemy sector and the 221/223 redesigned. In: COH2 Gameplay
