Thread: Adjustments for the Brits30 Apr 2020, 20:39 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2020, 17:08 PMAntemurale This is where I say we should agree to disagree. I believe in small, incremental changes that push faction balance towards the right place. Massive changes are extraordinarily hard to balance properly, just see the mess that happened after OKW got normal resources and proper tech options. I'm not saying that I perferred the version of OKW with only 66% resource income, but it's a prime example of why sweeping changes are not my preferred way of balancing the game. It depends. I pointed four year ago that balance should be made with small changes https://www.coh2.org/topic/52735/balance-mod-trying-to-kill-a-fly-with-sledgehammer https://www.coh2.org/topic/57771/why-patch-should-not-overbuff-overnerf-units-anymore but the case of UKF faction is different. The faction has serious design issues that need to be dealt with instead of adding band aid after band aid. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Pioneers after early game30 Apr 2020, 16:47 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2020, 16:33 PMAerohank That would be pretty OP. CE's have conscript weapons. They are 2/3rds of a conscript squad in size. So they do 2/3rds of conscript weapons while having 2/3rds HP of a conscript squad (a 240mp squad). Pios with Assault gren SMGs would perform at 4/5ths of the effectiveness of the assault grens (which are more expensive units than conscripts). At 200MP the pios would actually be better combat units than assault grens in terms of bang for your manpower-buck, in addition to having flamers, better vision, mines, able to repair etc. I have to point out that CE start with target size of 1 while Conscripts with TS of 1.09 so the EHP ration is not 2/3.

Thread: Pioneers after early game30 Apr 2020, 15:40 PM Pioneer could simply have their MP-40 replaced by K98 once upgrade with flamer or sweepers. As alternative ways of gaining veterancy would try gaining xp for completion of structures with cost like buildings, mines... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Soviet merge30 Apr 2020, 12:32 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2020, 12:07 PMVIGNASH Awesome! Thanks for clarifying it everyone who answered. I was thinking of spam merge into gaurds or shockies in 2v2 thus lowering the man-power bleed...haha A cheese tactic indeed ) Merging with guards is fine is fine since they start with 0.97 target Merging with penal is also fine since they start with a target size of 1 Merging with Shock troops should be avoid since they take heavy damage and conscript entities will not have the armor Shock have. Merging with HMGs is good since they start with 1.25 target size In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviet merge30 Apr 2020, 08:46 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2020, 08:38 AMMuad'Dib Actually, I am fairly certain the offensive (weapon) stats and veterancy bonuses apply to the merged models. However they do retain their original base received accuracy (size) and armor. Models that merge are equipped with weapon the squad they merge to is using and benefit only from the vet bonuses of the the squad the have merged to. The remain conscript entities and have the conscript stat and abilities. It break down to this, units in Coh2 have entity abilities/stats and squad entity/stat so merged cons retain the first and acquire the second. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Adjustments for the Brits30 Apr 2020, 08:02 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2020, 14:33 PMAntemurale The problem is that UKF do not need band-aids but serious design changes. The problem with band aids is that once they stick they tend to stay even when solution are applied. For instance sniper still have 82 HP although the mortar one shot potential has been eliminated.

Thread: Brit (non-doc) tools to delete OKW HQs are ridiculous29 Apr 2020, 13:26 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2020, 13:04 PMKatitof Yes. The answer is yes. Was it any other way, it would be addressed years ago, because its not a fresh "issue". In fact, it was already addressed years ago, when OKW teching and economy was changed and ever since you have a choice - you either expose your trucks to counter by placing them forward, but also reaping potential benefits of doing so, or stick them to the base, where they are completely safe from everything but on map artillery. No one is forcing you to place trucks forward, you evaluate risk vs reward and make a choice that suits you best, then deal with consequences of that choice. And you are answering the wrong question. If you want to talk about truck and countering aggressive placement you can start another thread. This thread is about UKF and their stock option to destroy trucks. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Brit (non-doc) tools to delete OKW HQs are ridiculous29 Apr 2020, 13:24 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Apr 2020, 13:10 PMLady Xenarra Out of interest, what's the cost of smoke + coordinate fire + the gammon bomb? Vs the IL-2? Think the IL-2's a one shot on HQs right? Trying to compare it against equivalent tools in the Allied arsenal. Smoke is 25 Barrage is 45 gammon is 50 I have to point out thou that you are comparing a stock option with an commander ability. IL-2 does not 1 shoot trucks. In: COH2 Gameplay
