Thread: Vote for: Perimeter Overwatch Change18 May 2020, 19:22 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2020, 16:40 PMSander93 Something to keep in mind is that reducing duration, decreasing cost and increasing the cooldown might very well have the unwanted effect of increasing munitions float which would result in spamming the flares and Concentrated Barrage and the Valentine Sexton barrage even more because it'd reduce/eliminate munitions management. Which might not be much of a net improvement. The ability should not be in the commander. The sheer volume of arty this commander can produce is simply too much. Replace it with counter barrage that should also not be available in the emplacement commander. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Partisans are underpowered18 May 2020, 19:12 PM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2020, 17:20 PMOsinyagov Ehm, you got me wrong. Let's make a quick review of the commander to spot the issue (spoiler: it is AI partisans and low ability synergy) .... As a result, we have commander, where you have some good abilities, which are not working well together, and Partisans, which are taking two slots and only one of them can be definetly called as usable one. For me the good way to go is merge partisans together into one unit, replace interception and do something with spy network. Well you brought up a number of issues: Mark Target is a great ability so it should not be available to commander that already have powerful tools like the T-35/85 and ISU-152. That would make commander without those powerful tools more attractive. It is those commander that need to nerfed and not other commander that should be buffed. Jump back to quoted post18 May 2020, 17:20 PMOsinyagov Again, partisans are important part of the problem. Even if call them "cost efficient", it's no real reason to take this commander over other Soviet commanders with infiltration infantry units. In this thread it has been claimed that partisan are UP. They are simply not UP. They are more than cost efficient. Are they enough to carry the commander? Certainty not but than again you can not expect Soviet infatry to be as attractive as IS-2, KV-2, ISU-152... As for airborne guard I doubt many people pick the commander for ABGs and I doubt they can carry the commander. It mostly used for the SVT and rocket strafe. Jump back to quoted post18 May 2020, 17:20 PMOsinyagov It would work better, because you will have one partisan squad, which infiltrate from the building and have some upgrades, like Taksin02 suggested. P.S. It would be cool, if partisans can interrogate wounded soldiers and get weapon slot, which they have when were alive. My question was the mechanic and weapon upgrades is way but I doubt that many people would prefer the shreck to be an upgrade. To summarize Partisans are not UP. If they do see action is not because they are UP but because there far more attractive commanders. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Vote for: Perimeter Overwatch Change18 May 2020, 10:55 AM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2020, 10:20 AMSturmpanther This is the ability from the Sexton commander btw (10 CP) lock down abiltiy. That this ability is a problem was already clear before UTT2. But not everyone was using it yet. So some people did not noticed the broken ability. As usal in a cup the abuse is the highest (thinking to maxims and m4c shermans or partisan with maxims; Mobile Defense doc etc xD) What would you prefer? Side note: I know anvil shells works with, but not sure if that is codeable to remove. So i did not put it in the options. The ability is simply badly designed. It is simply too powerful especially in large mods. (Funny thing is that all that was pointed out during the commander overhaul) My suggestions would be lower CP and Cost but replace arty shell with mortar shell. That would make the ability useful in all modes. Even better if this ability was removed from the arty commander and was replaced by the counter barrage ability available to the "emplacement commander". In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Vote for: Perimeter Overwatch Change18 May 2020, 10:52 AM Jump back to quoted post18 May 2020, 10:27 AMStein Grenadier If I pulled the numbers from the AE correctly, perimeter overwatch, at the moment: Lasts 2 minutes. Dumps 1 offmap howitzer shell every 16 seconds, and a mortar shell every 8 seconds. Activates both howitzers at base, which can both fire with a reload 4.7s each. And sector overwatch, which is the other comparison: Lasts 45 seconds. Dumps 1 howitzer shell every 4 seconds, but will have its firing interval shortened by a multiplier of 0.85 every time it fires as long as there are targets to be shot at. I don't know if the values I pulled above are multiplied per target entity. Apart from the above Overwatch track target a lot faster (if I remember correctly) and thus is far more lethal.

Thread: Partisans are underpowered18 May 2020, 09:25 AM What I find funny is that some people glorify pioneers for their close DPS and sight yet they think that Partisan with similar cost, infiltration, better DPS, same sight, camo, faster cap speed, first strike bonus, 2 grenades, 2 mines are overpriced. The unit is simply extremely cost efficient. Any problem come from the commander and not the unit. In: COH2 Balance
