But I'd be all up for changing it for consistency, if it also included the Valentine. Yet both the Stug-E and the C.PzIV suffer from the same issue Puma suffers. The prerequisite for calling them are simply to high. They should be changed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 winter balance mod - discussion22 Feb 2020, 17:27 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2020, 16:38 PMOsinyagov No, it shouldn't. Base buildings for default units, not for doctrinal ones. Thankfully, it is still a rule for majority of the doctrinal units (i didn't count infantry units, but all of them, except panzerfusiliers, are call-ins as well): ... Then the question should be why is Puma, Panzer J and 250 build-able from HQ Personally I would prefer Ostheer and OKW vehicles being build able from HQ since being able to be called instantly is huge advantage for some of these unit. This solution also open the way to, that one can fixing timing and tech issue with an added doctrinal tech... What I would like to see is consistency and not "unique solution" when the same solution can be applied. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback - UKF22 Feb 2020, 17:11 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2020, 16:38 PMblvckdream Yes I missed that. My point still stands. I have doubts about the UKF officer is turning out to be the unit it needs to be. I would prefer it if it was more like a Pgren squad with more spread out damage profile + smoke grenade instead of gammon bomb + stronger performance in early game but less late game scaling. That way it would be way easier to use it and it would require less babysitting. Also the smoke grenade would help a lot. Also not a fan of the base medics. I still don't understand the point of them. Well I have pointed the same things about the officer and Medic. Although my suggestion for the officer is simpler. 5 men unit similar to assault section available from T0 and with an incendiary gammon bomb (copy of VG's grenade )available from start. That should cover the basic UKF needs of early game. Defense vs SP/assault grenadier and anti-garrison utility. In: Lobby

It's still very fragile, takes up lots of room and annoying to use because of pathfinding and the damage on landing. It just feels awkward to me. Maybe I was not clear it can be repaired in the winter mode... Patch notes: Commando and HQ Glider Can now be repaired. In: Lobby

At the same time three of them still have the same text description for UI indicator: - Default IS cover bonus - Advanced cover bonus from the doctrine with Land Matress - Cover bonus for AT IS after PIAT upgrade. 2. What was the reason to not make Ost Puma call-in with tech requirements, like it was with Command Panzer IV or StuG III Ausf. E? Question should be why is the C.P IV and Stug -E still call-in and not build able from HQ... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Heavy Gammon bombs/ smoke22 Feb 2020, 16:21 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Feb 2020, 16:11 PMHannibal I don't think this will be a huge issue though. This smoke/gammon combination comes into effect the earliest from minute 15-20 onwards. It could be teched earlier but at the price of delaying your tank which is not very likely to be done unless you have won anyways. I think this is a risk the game can take. Let the patch go live like this and if there are any issues fix them afterwards. Better than now basically blindly rebalancing abilities that might not need balancing. Actually HGB used to be a snare only and for apparent reason Relic decided to add the demolition property, probably because they did not want to give a homing AT weapon at the time. Since now Relic has decided that UKF should have an AT snare they is little not to make it homing also and to remove stun. IS have no reason to have access to demolition weapon. In: Lobby

It needs a lot of babysitting until it reaches vet. I also haven't seen it used effectively in the balance preview streams I watched. Also glider without Commandos is questionable considering it can't be repaired and is so fragile. HQ Glider can be built commandos, HMG, ATG and can be repaired. In: Lobby
