Thread: breakthrough equipment 21 Oct 2020, 10:57 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2020, 23:48 PMEtherealDragon Overall it's a nerf I would say. The commander isn't really munition's heavy since there is no offmap if you don't count the HT flares that nobody uses so using munitions for the upgrade doesn't hinder the commander all that much. The repair speed is the main draw of the upgrade and you aren't going to need satchels very often at 0-1 CP or want to waste munitions on using them at that point of the match so that buff is pretty much useless in exchange for losing repair speed when I've never seen anybody complain about Pioneer repair speed with the upgrade. Imo risking a 200 manpower 30 or 30+30 or 30+60 MU to use satchel is to high of risk and I would rather see the upgrade cost removed. Maybe one could change the name of the upgrade to "advance repairs" and have it provide the repair bonus and have the rest come without the upgrade. In: Lobby

Penal have been dominating the meta for ages, if they now do not "cut it" it and they have not received any nerf it a clear cut case of "power creep" that should be avoided. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes21 Oct 2020, 07:53 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2020, 04:05 AMJibberJabberJobber Thoughts on V4 .. Would be a good change if it only applies to UKF's Medic squad. ... I am not sure why the balance team want to change healing so much but if this changes goes ahead UKF will have an early cheap FRP with healing increasing the pressure they can apply. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes21 Oct 2020, 06:52 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2020, 04:05 AMJibberJabberJobber Thoughts on V4 Just thinking aloud, I think it might actually be better to remove their G43 instead of the RA bonus. It would promote using 5 men Grens as your really sturdy mainlines with free healing while mixing in 1 to 2 LMG Grens inbetween for dps. Currently the G43 makes them too blob friendly, making them better at short/mid range, better at chasing and better at retaining dps. Removing their G43 would also mean less overlap in role of VSL Grens with G43 Grens. How do 5 men Grenadier without the received accuracy or G43 perform vs & men conscripts when both units vet3? Imo that need to be look at. Jump back to quoted post21 Oct 2020, 04:05 AMJibberJabberJobber 60 seconds is too long on top of 5 CP for the initial Valentine, 30 seconds should be enough to let the Axis opponent recover if the UKF player decides to yolo his Valentine and panic call-in a replacement. Otherwise, can't a cooldown timer be used like for heavy tanks? Imo the units does not need shared veterancy and I find the arty too easy to use. I would rather see the unit replaced by an upgrade for Officer and the unit moved to special weapons doctrine. In: COH2 Balance

Reduce the area upon which it is revealed. My point is that imo the camo should be superior to that of JP. Actually I would rather see JP camo to be static allowing it to rotate at normal speed but break camo once it moves. In: COH2 Balance

I haven't made a serious tests but just by gameplay i notice it's quite easy to detect by infantry nearby ... JP received a serous of nerf including detection radius: Jagdpanzer IV The Jagdpanzer veterancy bonuses and abilities have been adjusted to be more in-line with other vehicles. Camouflage reveal radius from 10 to 20 Veterancy 2 armour and sight bonus removed Veterancy 2 now increases accuracy by 20% Veterancy 5 ambush modifiers from +150% to +25% I am not sure if Luch reveal radius should be reduced since it is a "recon vehicle" and the ability is already rather weak for vet 1.

Thread: breakthrough equipment 20 Oct 2020, 17:03 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2020, 16:58 PMEtherealDragon When I did cheat mod tests a while back it looked like 5 man pioneers repaired faster than breakthrough equipment just eyeballing it. This commander is mostly picked for the Ace/Ass Grens so I don't see any particular need to nerf an ability that's an afterthought in it when it's outperformed by another commander on top of that. well the 5 men pioneer have extra manpower and pop... And that is why I am suggesting change that will not simply nerf them but will also remove the MU cost for having access to the rest of abilities. One could even move it CP 0-1 In: Lobby
Thread: Conscript 7th men too much?20 Oct 2020, 15:14 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2020, 14:41 PMProtos Angelus "Some"... Simply learn to read before starting to call people liars. And if you want to recreate test check the parameters and do not use your own parameters. As for range range 25-30 are far more probable to happen in game then exactly 35. Finally check how many times I use imo in my post which stand for "in my opinion" and that is what I am posting my opinion. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sander's personal balance changes20 Oct 2020, 11:20 AM "Howitizers All howitzers start on cooldown after their barrage finishes or is interupted All barrage cooldowns reduced by 20 seconds" Since you are looking into artillery: Have also a look at B4 that CD seems to be too low by comparison especially at vet 2. Have a look at Stuka incendiary barrage that is very expensive and cames very late. Have a look at MHT incendiary barrage that little damage especially to emplacements (actually DOT need to be looked values seems to be all over the place with Soviet barrage being one of the stronger and Luftwafe bombing being very weak) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: breakthrough equipment 20 Oct 2020, 11:12 AM Pioneer support package: "Pioneers can be upgraded with Breakthrough Equipment (Pioneer support package ) for 30 munitions; gives access to Destroy Cover; same as Royal Engineers. Also increases repair speed by 0.3. Pioneers can now also throw satchel charges. Same stats and cost as the Penal Battallion satchel charge. Breakthrough Equipment (Pioneer support package ) does not lock out the flamethrower or the minesweeper upgrade." Since minesweeper now provide extra repair speed: "Pioneers In order to give the Eastern Front factions repair times that are more in line with those of the Western Front armies, the minesweeper upgrade on Pioneer squads will now give additional repair speed. Minesweeper upgrade now improves repair speed by 0.3 per model" and total might be to high, I would suggest to remove the upgrade and provide the "satchel" and "destroy cover" without first requiring an upgrade.
