Thread: Sandbags for RETs31 Jan 2020, 00:35 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 22:30 PMLago Give RETs the ability to build sandbags. I would say make the field defense give the built option to RE and wire/Tank traps to riflemen. Imo mainline infatry should not be able to build heavy cover (or they should so is very low speed.) Conscripts might be an exception unless they continue to receive buffs. Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 22:30 PMLago Change tank traps to yellow cover. Agreed and have made the same suggestion many times. In addition increase build time reduce size and maybe add resistance to ballistic weapons. Currently a tank can easily destroy them with its main gun. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why panzerfusiliers are buildable?31 Jan 2020, 00:18 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 20:25 PMLago Call-ins don't share a build queue with T0 units, which lets you deploy infantry faster. One can simply start them on CD as other units CP 0 units, there is little reason to be build able. Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 20:25 PMLago The point of Panzerfusiliers is to be an alternative opening for OKW: less powerful initially but with more powerful upgrades which allow them to scale better into the late game. The cost more than VG and perform worse before upgrading. The only reason to built them early is the snare. Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 20:25 PMLago Making them call-ins would improve Breakthrough and Grand Offensive's early game, which is counterproductive to the design goals of the unit. Not really since the can start on CD and they probably should not be available in Grand offensive anyway. Being build able would only makes sense if they where designed to completely substitute VG and according to the team they do not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW30 Jan 2020, 18:54 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 18:41 PMSander93 That's not an argument, plenty of commanders are situational. When was the last time you saw Jaeger Armor being used in a 1v1 tournament? Feuersturm is amazing for the urban 3v3 and 4v4 maps. On its own it is not. I used in a combination of arguments. When it comes to commander design, I have no problem with commander that have great abilities if the rest of the abilities are UP. My point is simply if the barrage was part of Grand offensive it would even mention being nerfed. Currently is available is situational commander with situational abilities like: MP40 and Hezter. The ability itself need to many prerequisite like going T1 and building a Leig. Else it completely useless. And my suggestion aims to fix that. So I do not see the problem. One could simply bundle it up with flamer scrap m40 and add a new ability or one could allow Leig to built from HQ so that it does not force T1 or one could add the GW 34 mortar with incendiary barrage which is in game so that ability has some use even if one goes for T2. I have yet to see a single argument why that would be bad for the Commander or the Game. In you opinion the commander is great but that does not meal that adding a GW 34 with incendiary barrage would make it broken. In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW30 Jan 2020, 18:23 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 18:17 PMBlueKnight I use Feuersturm on Ettelbruck every time. Last time both of my ISG had ~40 kills each and were both vet 5 undoubtedly due to the frequent fire barrage usage. the incendiary barrage is amazing vs pak howie, mortar teams, MGs, emplacements and forward HQ. I can't count how many HQ buildings I set on fire with fire barrage and Spio flamer. You have to be aware of enemy Katy, but luckily for me, my opponent wasn't on point with his barrages and I managed to keep both the ISGs alive. I am not questioning the ability itself (although many I have seen it end up in wasted munition looking at shot exploding on world objects and even causing friendly damage). I am question the ability taking up a slot on it own when it requires, a medic truck and building a Leig. If nothing else it at least should allow the Leig to built from HQ so that it did not force specific tect option. In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW30 Jan 2020, 18:02 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 17:42 PMSander93 There was no need for it to deal that much damage to emplacements for a mere 35 munitions. It dealt about 80-90% damage to a braced mortar and 80-90% damage to an unbraced Bofors. Now the damage has been toned down by 5-10%, which does nothing for the amount of barrages needed to kill the emplacement (2), but will hopefully give the UKF player at least a chance to repair enough to survive the second barrage. The ability might be good if it worked but has a number of issues like: Many shots collide with terrain, especially vs pits behind shot blokers Many shots miss I have used and in in many cases it was a waste of Mu. Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 17:42 PMSander93 I disagree, the ability is remarkably useful to flush out enemy positions, most noticeably garrisons / FHQs / forward ambulances etc. The commander is focused on urban combat, and it excels at it. The LeIG incendiary barrage is a big part of that. Feuersturm OKW is nearly unbeatable on urban maps like Ettelbruck Station. The ability is only useful if one built T1 and decided to actually build a leig. Else is completely useless. That is fact. My suggestions aim to make the ability work without forcing the player to go T1/Leig just to benefit from a commander ability. And should not that hard to implement. Gw43 with incendiary rounds are already in game is an Ostheer commander. The commander is very situational, was it use only once is the latest tournament? Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 17:42 PMSander93 Damage against multistory or very large buildings was already buffed by increasing the impact damage against garrisons last patch. Impact damage alone will deal about 80% health damage regardless of where the models are now. Easily enough to force a retreat. Moving the Damage to DOT is far better mechanism for a number reasons: Less hit/miss since DOT has large AOE More time react Forces ungarrison In: Lobby

Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW30 Jan 2020, 16:51 PM LE.IG/Mortar Half-Track Incendiary Barrage -DOT Incendiary +25% against Commonwealth Emplacement tag removed. -Brings DOT damage per tick versus defenses from 4.67 to 3.75 I do not see why this nerf in necessary or not compensated some other way. As commander ability is really UP. It provides a unit that requires specific tech tree, incendiary munition that for other units come with unit for free, in an commander that does not even had a really good ability. Suggestions: Keep the nerf but make the ability better but add a doctrinal Gw 34 mortal that can fire incendiary rounds or Add a single incendiary round to the Puma or Add incendiary/WP rounds to the stuka or add a MHT In addition remove world collision in the leig incendiary barrage or reduce the friendly fire of the DOT since the weapon many times collides with shot blocker and damages the crew itself. Add extra invisible explosion to the weapon so it can damage unit on multi floor buildings. In: Lobby
Thread: Winter balance (1/2020) feedback OKW30 Jan 2020, 15:53 PM Fallschirmjaeger -Panzerfaust removed Actually I am not very happy with the place where Fall currently are. 1) In their current position their between an infiltration unit and airdropped unit. 2) 4 model squad with equal distribution of fire power seem to be problematic due to DPS Suggestions: Move them towards infiltration unit design by replacing airdrop with ambient building spawn. or Move them towards airdrop design by increase size 5-6 as other paras. If 4 men squad approach is kept reduce the number of Fg44 2 and adjust dps to reduce DPS drop. Other experimental options: A) Since the are equipped with scoped Fg43 create switchable firing mode. Long range mode using the scope with a profile with DPS drop off close and normal fire with lower far DPS. Weapon could become disabled for 2-3 sec during transition. That would the unit more interesting, require more micro and have weakness. B) Redesigning the "Blendkörper 2H Frangible Smoke Grenade" to work as a soft snare to vehicles to vehicles. Becomes a homing AT grenade that disable weapons to vehicles (maybe cause some damage). That would allow safe retreat from vehicles with out making able to fight vehicles. In addition it is histrionically accurate. In: Lobby

Thread: Power creep30 Jan 2020, 13:14 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jan 2020, 13:10 PMelchino7 STG44 + snare competed with all around Volks shreck spam with better vet. Jackson was a bad unit carried by other OP elements. Now it's the other way round. And that is my point these things are currently OP and have been for years and have forced other units to be buffed to keep up. For me that is power creep, you are entitled to have a different opinion. Once more I need to point out that with a point reference (benchmark) it very hard to detect power creep. In: Lobby
