Thread: USF teching system revamp, aftermath.12 Mar 2020, 09:03 AM The USF teching system revamp allowed easy access to USF team weapons and light vehicles. These vehicles and support weapons where designed to combined with handicap in their access so the where where OP. The result is that the USF originally designed as an "offensive" faction can turtle up (in combination with ambulance) which creates allot of issues. Things become even worse vs ostheer who original designed as defensive faction have even more trouble attacking USF player that turtle up. To make thing even worse powerful light vehicles are available to the USF like WC51/M20 that forces axis faction to invest early in tech to counter further increasing the problem. Current teching system: LT or Capt cost 250/35: give access to HMG/ATG Unlock mechanized platoon command post: 50/20 gives access to m20(240/20)/Stuart(270/70) Unlock mechanized Company command post: 50/20 gives access to Pack howizter(340)/AAHT (310/50) One has the option to either invest 300/55 with one officer or invest 500/70 with 2 officer before going to unlock the Major. The following suggestions aim at: Reducing the power spikes Reducing turtleing capability Make LT path less attractive and Captain more attractive Changes to units: HMG AP rounds move to Vet1 M20 DPS/range lowered skirt upgrade now locked behind "mechanized platoon command post" now cost fuel/MP and can restore range DPS if there is need to. Mine immobilization replaced by engine damage AAHT Remove suppression on the move lower manpower cost and maybe reduce fuel cost to by 10. LT/Captain Bazooka moved back to captain bar to LT, weapons now require mechanized unlock before becoming available. Captain now has access to grenade grenade now share CD (Major looses access to smoke grenade) Remove shared veterancy from LT/Cap. Tech system changes: Mortar moved to Captain Pack howitzer doctrinal or Pack howitzer to major and redesigned while Scott becomes doctrinal LT/Captain fuel cost reduced to 25-15 now unlocks 2 units HMG/M20 and ATG/Mortar extra fuel cost move to mechanized" unlock Major unlock no longer available without "mechanized" unlock Imo these change will allow USF earlier game power and turteling power to reduced without overlap effecting the faction and help with USF vs Ostheer match up.

Thread: Super Heavy tank requirements in Winter balance preview12 Mar 2020, 06:37 AM ISU-152 requiring all structures is in my opinion unnecessary. The unit might need re-balance but adding an extra building does not help. AVRE at CP 9 is probably too early and it could probably be move to 10 Croc at CP 12 is probably too late since it inferior to other super heavies and could be move to 11. In 1vs1 game the fuel tech cost is probably to high so the earlier CP will not make a difference. One could even consider reducing the fuel price a bit (20-10). Tiger ACE has more expensive tech and costs more it might need a MP reduction. Sturm Tiger could be move to CP9. Imo the requirement of having a Schewerer Panzer headquarters with Panzer Authorization on map to have access to the doctrinal units is should be fixed. This is problem especially in 3vs3 and 4vs4 where the CP gain in longer and the shire volume of artillery can delete OKW easily. If one is not willing to remove the restriction at least make the requirement of Panzer Authorization a one time requirement so that if one loses the Schewerer Panzer can replace it without having to unlock the Panzer Authorization again.

Thread: Why the 7 model Cons12 Mar 2020, 06:19 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2020, 00:11 AMthedarkarmadillo what makes you say that? It's in a great spot already and well designed with strengths and weaknesses. A long history of patches. Ppsh upgrade is good, on the other hand SVT is way better and currently in live 7 men upgrade is probably better. Keep in mind that it has already been buffed in September although it was in "great spot": Conscript Assault Package Doctrinal PPSh-41 upgrade for Conscripts has been changed to be available earlier to match other weapon upgrades.

Thread: Winter balance mod 2020 V1.311 Mar 2020, 23:49 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2020, 23:11 PMClarity Keep in mind that the 25% capture rate buff at Tier 4 will also stack with Counterattack Tactics in this commander. Plus Assault Grenadiers get a capture rate buff when they get their 6th man that will stack with this. Assault and Hold in German Infantry also will stack. So this could become a problem. Think cap change might need some additional testing. As for doctrinal abilities those can simply be caped if the combined effect is too much or/and replaced with another bonus. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why the 7 model Cons11 Mar 2020, 22:51 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2020, 22:12 PMthedarkarmadillo ... One of my main concerns is that soon we will see yet another buff to Pssh conscripts leading to more power creep. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Map with less players11 Mar 2020, 18:04 PM I have pointed out this issue in the Forum some time ago, but I think it should be looked up again. Map design has allot to do with the distance one has to travel from base to certain important points. Generally this rather ok in most map. The problem start imo when "bigger map" are used in smaller "mods". Since starting position seem to be random in these cases so a team might actually end up starting further away from this points. A solution imo could be to either force specific starting points or to create a small version MOD by and remove some of these starting points. In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Super Heavy tank requirements in Winter balance preview11 Mar 2020, 16:29 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Mar 2020, 16:11 PMLago The exact fuel costs to rush a heavy are much less relevant with the raised CP requirements as the CPs are now the limiting factor. Maybe my post was unclear the number are the cost of vehicle not total cost. In: Lobby
