Thread: Congratulations balance team14 Apr 2020, 13:56 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 13:16 PMSuperHansFan those aren't squads for the most part Sniper vet 2 is probably the only thing there you want spotting for your ATG like you can with pio/path/jaeger. Rest of those are emplacements (lol), vet abilities for emplacements (lol) or vehicles. AEC and valentine aren't bad but they're not T-70 tier that unlocks vet3 in a heartbeat. I was simply pointing out the sight option for UKF and they have some. Personally I would test making the pyro upgrade a side grade instead of straight upgrade. Change could include giving the squad scope enflied, removing cover mechanism and reducing DPS making the unit a scout that that hit light and is used more for utility than fighting (as most reckon squads should be). If need a temporary ability could be added (maybe kills with critical under a threshold similar to other scoped weapons) Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 13:25 PMSuperHansFan stop bullying vipper ... He cant he is obsessed but you should try to follow your own advice or run the risk of following him in that low level of his post. In: COH2 Balance

Pack howitzer barrage is OP for the timing and units. Now there is post in the last month about the barrage problem solve lets move on. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Congratulations balance team14 Apr 2020, 13:08 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 12:54 PMSuperHansFan True but what other squads do brits have with good LoS? They don't have stock pio LoS ranges on their engineers. They have no Jaegers or pathfinders doctrinally. A pyro upgraded section is as close they get. You could lock that LoS behind a doctrine but it wouldn't really be worth a slot on its own. Stock: Sniper 45 vet 2 54 Vickers vet 1 in garrison 40.25 Officer reckon flight vet 1 bofors vet 2 42 17p "flare" ability AEC sight 50 UC vet 1 sight 42 Comet sight 45 Cromwell 45 FF 45 Doctrinal valentine vet 1 45.6 with ability 60 M3 vet 3 42 M5 vet 3 45.5 I do agree that a doctrinal recon infantry could become available and there even is one in the game files that even has crawl ability.

How many other small indirect unit can do the exact same 160 damage/300 penetration the Pack's howitzers "heat barrage" does? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Rear Echelon very weak.14 Apr 2020, 12:39 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 12:27 PMGraephen Because it synergyses with the supression ability, mate. Giving a weapons to RE is not always a good strategy but their are some benefits: 1) It replace a weaker weapon one Re + one Riflemen have 4 carbine + 5 m1. Giving a BAR: to Riflemen 4 carbines +4 M1 +1 BAR<to Re 3 carbines + 5 M1 + 1 bar 2) Re have an accuracy bonus at Vet 1 3) Force opponent to make a choice to either focus fire on Riflemen and be fired upon by bar or focus fire on RE and be fired upon by m1. In sort one can gain an early advantage by it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Congratulations balance team14 Apr 2020, 12:08 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 12:04 PMSander93 I don't know why you'd accuse me of deliberately downplaying it when I said it is powerful and that it might be something that could be toned down. Furthermore 45 sight range only when vet 1 and when stationary in cover, even if powerful, is noticeably worse than 50 sight range while moving that squads like Pathfinders and JLI have. Even Pioneers have 42 sight range regardless of being stationary or in cover. Vet 1 ability does not require stationary only cover. Pyro does not require either stationary nor cover and stacks. Comparing mainline infatry with other type of units including doctrinal/reckon units is rather misleading. IS get a 10 sight bonus in cover at vet 1 while VG get a 7 sight bonus at vet 4. The sight bonus of UKF is significant and can be combined with calling arty or smoke. To add more fuel to the fire UKF now become the second faction to have stock access to reckon flights for no apparent reason. Imp Stock reckon flight should either become available to all faction or removed from all factions. In: COH2 Balance

So according to you HMG-42 has no advantage in suppression over vickers when having los, ok great to hear. Now can you pls stop trolling? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Congratulations balance team14 Apr 2020, 11:53 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 11:50 AMSuperHansFan Brits unlike Axis don't have a MG that can reliably suppress to make use of that LoS, or a mortar to bombard anything with 1) Read the context it has been argue that IS do not have an advantage from sight bonuses because they can scout the enemy HMGs. They easily can because they can have bonus sight on the move. 2) A vikcers with LOS firing at max ranges will suppress just fine. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Congratulations balance team14 Apr 2020, 11:47 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2020, 11:21 AMKatitof How are you going to accomplish that, when extra sight works only in cover, when you're stationary? That is incorrect the sight bonus requires cover but does NOT require to be stationary. You can't attack and defend with the same unit at the same time and lets be honest, even biggest pros do not advance taking pauses in cover. Also, ost pios do that without having to sit in cover. In addition IS have access to Pyro upgrade that provide unrestricted vision bonus. In: COH2 Balance
