Thread: US Pak Howitzer Is Out Of Control 18 Jun 2020, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2020, 16:51 PMT.R. Stormjäger You need 3 model kills to decrew it and it has no retreat function. The first part is the same as most support type units (accept soviets) including the Leig and second part is the same as leig. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Change Major recon call in18 Jun 2020, 13:27 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2020, 12:40 PMHannibal The issue is not that it bugs out or worked inconsistently, but that this is another of the many examples in CoH2 where a single ability functions differently from all other similar abilities for actually no apparent reason. And for someone playing casually this can be a big drawback because there is simply no time to figure out the quirks of each ability. If possible, it would be better if it worked like the same two-click process of those recon-smoke commander ability. If this creates balance issues, then at least it should be clearly stated that the planes come from the base (or is it? I can't remember that is would be like this, but I have not played with forward majors often recently). Yes there are some issues with the ability. The ability does not indicate that the first plane will come from the base (second one comes from enemy base making ideal to bomb enemy rear positions) but it does not require the major to near front line to work either. The vet 1 description is also wrong since it talks about longer duration instead of a second plane. On the other hand both planes have very large sight radius and reveal a large area of even medium size maps. If one actually want to bring the ability more inline with its description, the plane should come from base do one-two circles around the designed area and return to base, instead of doing a pass across the whole map. That would closer to what the description indicates. Then the vet ability could increase the number of circles as it also indicates. That would actually make the ability better designed since it would require Major to be near the area while it would make revealing rear areas require more skill and risking the major. Currently one can reveal the enemy rear from the comfort of his base especially once the major is vet 1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Change Major recon call in18 Jun 2020, 10:25 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2020, 09:59 AMT.R. Stormjäger Stock recon options: Ost: Sniper, 222 (vision and infantry awareness), 42 vision pioneers Sov: M3A1, Scout Sniper (vision and flares), mortar flares, Su&zis tracking, T70 recon mode, SU85 focus sight USF: M20, Stuart, Major Recon UKF: Sniper, Sections OKW: IRHT, Kubel, Luchs&JP4 camo, Puma Major recon plane is the only stock recon option for USF when they don't go LT full tech and build his LVs. Major recon is absolutely essential for USF. A nice list but none of what you posted is a reckon plane that can be used to call off map in the rear lines of the enemy. Only UKS and USF have the reckon flight pass option stock. Either all faction should have them or none. In: COH2 Gameplay

No it does not. It does point out thou that I did not turn this thread balance debate, OP did. It also point out that both flaming post from OP are unprovoked and unjustified. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: An Old Schooler's Rant and Observations18 Jun 2020, 09:20 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2020, 08:25 AMSander93 Company of Heroes will always be remembered because it was jaw droppingly revolutionary. Company of Heroes 2 just did more of the same. Which doesn't make it worse, only makes it stand out less. However by this time I would say it is much more polished and balanced than vCoH ever was. vCoH will definitely not be remembered 50 years from now for how balanced it was, because it really wasn't. Panzer Elite, vCoH Brits and the release versions of CoH2's USF, OKW and UKF prove that pure asymmetrical balance just doesn't work and generally only leads to toxic and overpowered strategies while also being defenseless in certain other situations. That wasn't really fun for anyone. To me that is arbitrary conclusion, asymmetrical balance can work. There where balance problems but that had little to do with asymmetrical part of balance.

Thread: Change Major recon call in18 Jun 2020, 08:41 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Jun 2020, 08:27 AMOsinyagov Don't want to defend bad manners (and i won't), but i think it's happened because you came to the thread and started to spread your vision of the balance, even when thread wasn't related to the balance in the first place. I have made two point so far: 1) That these abilities should not be available stock in the first place from a design point of view 2) That Major reckon comes with 2 planes at vet so it is not like other reckon passes I have respected both OP and his suggestion only to be flamed twice without any provocation while he has brought up any balance issues. I have only brought up design issues. Can the Major reckon pass become more player friendly? possibly but it would not be as simple as op suggests simply because there two planes instead of one (at vet 1). Should USF and UKF have a reckon flight pass available to them as stock? From a design point of view not they should not. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Change Major recon call in17 Jun 2020, 07:52 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R Doctrinal commander, 180 muni ability to destroy LEFH (+50 from recon sweep = 230) and Priest is mobile, not an arty emplacement. It barrages and relocates, what its intended to do. Lefh is also doctrinal, point here is the the Priest commander can counter Lefh and Lefh can not. Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R Sexton you have to drive close to reach arty emplacements (1v1/2v2 maps not so close but anything higher and good luck countering it with a mobile arty piece) Same goes for Roayal you can simply call planes or flare and off map the Lefh Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R Nobody will ever use counter barrage from advance emplacements commander cause nobody uses that commander. That is simply a hyperbole Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R Only offmaps UKF have are Barrage from advance emplacement commander (once again, nobody good will EVER use that) and concentration barrage, which like you said, needs to risk a vehicle to get vision just to call it in. That is incorrect one does not have to risk a vehicle for vision UKF also have stock reckon planes. Not really the off map that can kill an Lefh are: Counter battery precision barrage Air supremacy operations concentration barrage Anti building flame mortar barrage concentrated fire operation Barrage from FOP Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R Dude, I'm talking about Recon abilities . See how I made it big and bold for your blind ass to see? If you want to talk about balance, this isn't the thread for it. I am talking about them too and I am saying that either all faction should have them as stock or none. Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R And easy to counter priest/sexton. Just dive or in team games, arty flares and stuka dive bomb once it starts barraging. All you have to do to avoid stuka dive bomb is move the vehicle Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R People like you are the reason why I avoided using this forum for a long time. Always have to talk about balance shit fest. I am not sure where this hostility comes from but we are talking faction design here not balance. Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R It's like I say why can't soviets or UKF have flares just like pfusiliers? Soviet have flares on mortar and sniper Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R AlL fAcTiOnS sHoULd HaVe STocK fLarES oR NoNE but pfusiliers doctrinal. There is difference in flares fired from unit with limited range and reckon planes Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2020, 20:01 PMS.T.A.L.K.E.R Well nah shit, just like getting TOT barrage to counter your lefh. or IL2 strike from soviets and if you don't go Royal arty to fight arty emplacements? UKF in struggle bus. And if do get Lefh and you opponent get a Sexton or Priest you are stuck with UP commander that can not use the Lefh which was the reason to pick the commander in the first place. In: COH2 Gameplay
