Thread: Nerf the Valentine18 Jul 2020, 00:29 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Jul 2020, 22:06 PMSander93 It does have 0.75 moving accuracy but accuracy is not used when facing anti-tank guns or infantry. Also it has 7 speed which is indeed fast, but it's the same speed as units like the T-70 or the Stuart or the Cromwell. It's a doctrinal unit, it's supposed to be good. Adjusting it further has to be done in a careful way. Nerfing its hitpoints to 400 so that it can get snared with one Faust would be a huge nerf. I would prefer baby steps and remove its oppressiveness (the fast call in and re-call in times) first before going after performance (which always has a good chance of ruining the unit). Difference here is that it vets very fast with high AT/AI capability and its lower XP value compared to Cromwell and it gets the speed bonuses at vet 2 and not at vet 3. The mobility at vet 2 speed 8.4/ accel 3.1/ rotation 45.6 In: COH2 Balance

It's quite easy to check the update history of that tank. https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/67/coh-2-changelog/p5 + ctrl-F to search for "Centaur". It's true that it hasn't been touched in years (2) but it's also true that it has been getting nerfed. As you posted it has not been touched in two years and it a cost efficient unit. It does need a buff or nerf. Once more the issue started from the buffs to Cromwell AI with out reverting the price to the original 120 and not from Centaur being nerfed. That makes Cromwell and Centaur have similar prices while Cromwell having enough AI and AT on top of that. That is why the suggestion here is to lower the power level of Centaur. In: Lobby
Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 23:02 PM The narrative that Centaur has has received continues nerfs is simply false the unit has not been touched in years. Cromwell on the other hand has received a number buffs. In: Lobby
Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 16:11 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 14:59 PMelchino7 It all depends on what kind of stats you will be adjusting. Talking about "power level" is too broad. What i can imagine out of a cheaper Centaur is a 560 HP vehicle with (MAYBE) a bit less mobility. I think the current offensive performance is fine so that leaves you really small room to adjust the unit. I deliberately did not make any suggestion that included numbers in a vain effort to avoid the usual claims "you are trying to get all allied units nerfed" (but the three troll, troll patrol does not seem to care what people actually post and they simply continue with their narrative). As for stats I wouldn't touch the speed, armor and target size (160/80, 18) on the other hand could be lowered thou since they are superior to that of the Ostwind. In: Lobby
Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 15:23 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 15:16 PMSander93 Changing a unit's role or place within the roster (timing etc.) and adjusting the cost and the performance accordingly is a perfectly fine way to make units or abilities more distinct or useful. It has been done quite a bit in the past with units like Assault Engineers or Panzerfusiliers. And for example in hindsight I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to "nerf" the Ostwind into a cheaper intermediate anti-light vehicle that might've really helped Ostheer against LVs, rather than buffing its performance into a 100 fuel AI vehicle. I agree about the ostwind and it was what I had actually suggested at the time, increasing the price of the ostwind was a step in the wrong direction. Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 15:16 PMSander93 Not that I really agree that the Centaur needs this. I think it's fine currently and that it's actually the Cromwell that could probably use a 10 fuel increase with its new AI performance to help make the Centaur stand out a bit more. Definitely not a priority. (Imagine the trolling if I had suggested increasing the price of Cromwell...point remains the prices of Cromwell and Centaur are to close and that creates an overlap in AI department. In: Lobby
Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 13:46 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 13:42 PMblvckdream Seems like a good idea. As you said at the moment building the Centaur is basically only a good idea if you desperately need AA. Cromwell only comes a few seconds later and is the better overall tank with it's mobility. Glad that you agree. An additional bonus imo is that UKF that have gone AEC will still have access to an affordable AA unit. In: Lobby
Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 13:04 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 13:02 PMKatitof Then why the thread in the first place if you don't want to change it, but want to change it, but know it doesn't need changes, but it needs to be changed? Doesn't seem you know what you want at all. Ok at this point you are simply trolling or are incapable of understating simple things. Either way I can not help you. I am moving on. In: Lobby
Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 12:54 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 12:22 PMA table So if the crownwell offers more than the centaur, why does the centaur need a nerf? How would that make the centaur a more attractive option when for 60 mp and 20 fuel(roughly the cost difference if we apply your suggestion) you get a medium tank that has somewhat similiar AI but much better AT? You're also missing out that the centaur is a god at AA, something the crownwell isn't. A single crownwell won't scare off an AT gun, something the centaur can do with its ability. Imho you are trying to fix something that isn't broken. Once more no one suggested a nerf to centaur the suggestion is to lower both price and cost so that the cost efficiency remain the same....

Thread: Centaur16 Jul 2020, 12:52 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2020, 12:20 PMKatitof How do we call lowering stats of a unit? Since you seem to have trouble reading allow me high light the section in OP for you so you can understand better: "Imo the solution to this issue is to lower the power level of Centaur to around 280-300 mp 80-90 fuel by reducing both price and performance."
