Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback - UKF3 Feb 2020, 11:22 AM Sexton and Valentine -Valentine Supercharge barrage no longer shares a cooldown with the regular barrage. -Valentine Coordinated Barrage from 35 to 60 Now this a very bad changes. This will make Sexton fire way too often and sexton using victor almost uncounterable. This ability is borderline OP for Ostheer but the static howitzer can be at least countered by off map. In the case of Sexton the combination of 400!!! range and being self-propelled will make the ability broken. Suggestions: Simply change the synergy between Valentine and Sexton. This could be done by adding an aura to Valentine giving bonuses to only to Sexton like: lower reload, CD reduction, extra shell extra, extra range, better mobility... or add an ability to Valentine that buff 1 sexton with similar buffs If you proceed with victor approach at least move the ability from Valentine to the new officer so that it can at least be more difficult to move bring the unit calling the barrage in range. All aura or abilities should scale with veterancy. In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback - UKF3 Feb 2020, 09:51 AM Bug Fixes -Recovery Sappers should no longer lose their minesweepers or weapons when reinforcing with multiple slot items. -Valentine should no longer reveal itself on random occasions when in Recon Mode Great work. Congratulation guess. In: Lobby
Thread: Undeniable Easy Eight problem.3 Feb 2020, 09:20 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Feb 2020, 09:16 AMSuperHansFan I like the idea of the E8 limited to one and buffed as a hero unit. Sort of like the command tiger but with different buffs and abilities And yet it would have little place in "rifle company". I would rather see Dozer moved here (buffed to hero level if there a need to) and more buff and abilities riflemen for this commander become more like Ostheer infatry commander. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback Soviets3 Feb 2020, 08:01 AM For Mother Russia Standardization change to bring in line with other similar abilities. -Sprint now cancels when in combat A good change. Once more I would suggest to reconsider the bonuses of offensive and defensive abilities. Imo RMR an offensive ability would work better if it provided defensive bonuses to lower one's casualties on attack instead of "squad wipe" mechanism. In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback Soviets3 Feb 2020, 07:58 AM Airborne Guards Minor changes to encourage the use of airborne guards, which were slightly underperforming. -Manpower cost from 380 to 360 -Airborne Guards Strafe from 60 munitions to 45 -PPsH-41 upgrade now grants Tactical Assault ability; similar to Paratroopers and Stormtroopers Imo the problem with Airborne Guards is not that they are UP but others: Identity crisis. The units suffers from the inverted problem of Fallj. It is an infiltration unit designed as an airdropped unit. With the SVT the unit is quite capable to wiping support weapons when it spawns and this would actually be a problem if it was cheaper and come at earlier CP. Commander abilities overlap Weapon Crate Drop make conscripts/Penal overlap with AG and take up the munition for the expensive LMG upgrade. The unit simply brings too little compared to other abilities. Suggestions: Redesign the unit an infiltration unit. Lower CP to 2-1 Lower entity count to 5 or 4-5 at spawn Lower power level 280-320 mp and make cost of the ability fit the number of entities Have the unit start with mosins and have weapon upgrade available Add camo Add other utility abilities like: demo, charges, mines, traps, increased sight In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback Soviets3 Feb 2020, 07:39 AM Conscripts Seven man conscripts were performing slightly too efficiently for their cost -Reload cover bonus from 7 man removed. Glad to see that the upgrade being problematic has been recognized as I had pointed on the preview but imo the approach to fix it is in the wrong direction. Currently the upgrade is competing with other doctrinal upgrades for conscripts and even without the cover bonuses it will probably be superior. That would mean that the other doctrinal options will have to be buffed leading to power creep. Additional imo it problematic because it allows conscripts to fully man support weapons and made conscripts repairs OP. It was designed allow rebuilt conscript vet in the late stage environment (something it does not do very well since one has to sink allot of resources to them with mediocre result) but it has simply allowed already vetted conscripts to become almost immune to wipes. So imo the upgrade should simply be redesigned. Instead of an expensive upgrade that take up a weapon slot make it cheaper, less powerful but with less restrictions. Suggestions: Mobilized Reserves: Reduces model reinforce cost to 17 Increases veterancy gain by 20% Costs 50 munitions Cost down to 20 mu (When upgraded with Mobilize Reserves, weapon cooldown and reload on Mosin Nagant rifles is reduced by 30% when in cover. Removed Increases squad size by 1, Removed Takes up 1 weapon slot Removed) Imo with these changes the upgrade will: be more inline with its original design of helping vet 0 conscripts in late game stop competing with other stock upgrades help with re-crewing/repair from conscripts Other thing that should be look about Conscripts PPsh should also take up a weapon SVT upgrade is problematic for many reasons (that I will not list here). I would simply remove the ability but if it has to stay simply replace it with a DP-28 drop. In: Lobby
Thread: Undeniable Easy Eight problem.3 Feb 2020, 07:10 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2020, 23:28 PMJibberJabberJobber ... 76mm does suffer some diminishing returns because its """HE""" reload is already very low. Tbh, I'm much more afraid of an M4 with dozer upgrade than the 76mm. The Dozer upgrade is another monstrosity also. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Undeniable Easy Eight problem.2 Feb 2020, 22:50 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2020, 22:37 PMJibberJabberJobber Last time I checked they both shared the same veterancy and the radio net ability. I think the Soviet 76mm also kept secure mode, but I'm not sure. Soviet and USF 76mm are about similar. We are comparing the USF easy8 with 76mm. My point is that Easy8 does not need to buffed to 76mm level. It is the other way around, it is the 76mm that need to brought inline with other Shermans. T-34/76 has superior vet bonuses because its base stat are lower. With the superior 76mm bases and with radio net thing simply get out of control. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Undeniable Easy Eight problem.2 Feb 2020, 22:33 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Feb 2020, 18:58 PMMazianni It's not firing HVAP rounds though. Not even close. I don't really see the argument for having the worst medium tank reload. At the very least it could use the 30% reload vet from the M4A276MM instead of the standard sherman reload vet. Not really the 76mm is simply broken. It has the beast all all worlds. From the USF: Radio net From the Soviet: The OP vet bonuses T-34 gets And on top of that one of the best pintle HMGs. It is the 76mm that need to be look at and not the Easy8s. In: COH2 Balance
