Thread: A simple buff for stormtrooper mp4026 Dec 2019, 13:07 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Dec 2019, 06:19 AMZeroZeroNi that might be super op though. Imagine 5 man ST with 3 g43. Yikes. The G43 upgrade is not S.Tr. problem but a separate issue of the jager upgrade. First of all the ST have little reason to be in "Elite" commander anyway. Second there is little reason to give g43 to S.Tr or even Pgs since the ability is not even called G43 so these unit could get different bonuses. In: COH2 Gameplay

Seriously, this debate is mostly taking up several pages because you guys talk at cross-purposes and/or semantics, but ok: ... Thanks allot. By late think we should focus after making T3 or PH3 when at least medium tanks are available. I actually have little interest semantics but this stats might actual help understand the impact of 7 men conscripts on the game which I suspect is significant. In: News
Thread: A simple buff for stormtrooper mp4025 Dec 2019, 22:36 PM Actually ST need to become 5 men squads keeping the DPS the same or lowering a bit and getting better sight radius. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: World Championship match stats25 Dec 2019, 14:33 PM Since there has been an issue that has been debated would be possible to have following information: Of the following units which where produced in the late game or replace losses: Conscripts Penal Grenadier IS Riflemen VGs And what what veterancy did they achieve. Thanks in advance. In: News
Thread: Light tanks pop cap increase?25 Dec 2019, 13:48 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2019, 13:18 PMSander93 I'm quite sure vet 0 Cons even with the 7 men upgrade will struggle harder versus vet 3 LMG Grens or vet 5 STG44 Volks than vet 0 LMG Grens will against vetted and upgraded Allied units. The XP gain on its own is fine the whole package is problematic. Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2019, 13:18 PMSander93 LMG Grens can use their ranged DPS advantage to take more favourable engagements, while Cons can not. The small XP gain bonus helps even this out. That is a bit inaccurate LMG grenadier can only stay in heavy cover and wait for enemy units. If they enemy unit chooses to fight cover to cover the grenadier will bleed more if the enemy unit chooses to move in they will have to retreat causing minimum damage. You can check that in cheat MOD. I wonder is if ShiphonX can provide data showing how many time grenadiers where produced to in late and if they even bother getting the LMG upgrade or they where just used for the faust and how many time conscripts where produced in latest tournament.

Thread: Light tanks pop cap increase?25 Dec 2019, 13:12 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2019, 12:55 PMSander93 Only in cover. And it's still nowhere near the DPS increase that STG 44s/LMG 42/2x BAR/2x Brens give, so the bonus XP gain is still justified. Is the complete package slightly overperforming in terms of efficiency? I'd say over time it has proven so, but the XP gain bonus is not a part of that problem. I am not sure why you think that vet 0 lmg Grenadier will have an easier time vetting vs vet3 Penal/7men conscripts/Double bar riflemen/Double bren 5 men sections. I am not sure that "slightly" is the correct term here. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Light tanks pop cap increase?25 Dec 2019, 12:16 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Dec 2019, 10:57 AMSander93 How is the XP gain bonus relevant to manpower efficiency? Cons should already be vet 3 or nearly vet 3 once they get the upgrade. This bonus merely serves to make replacing a lost squad less painful, as a substitute to vet up a bit more easily in the late game environment, that other mainline infantry have by having a stock weapons upgrade available. The XP bonus on its own it fine. The combination of extra DPS/durability/lower cost and XP gain is simply OP and that was pointed out even at preview. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Light tanks pop cap increase?24 Dec 2019, 23:32 PM As point out the problem with Lv is the shock value and not their spammability. Pop cap increase fix spam issus. Actually some vehicle like M3,kubel,223,UC,WC51 should probably have their pop reduced with veterancy In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Great OKW commander balancing24 Dec 2019, 18:32 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2019, 17:46 PMT.R. Stormjäger It is not a design, it’s a change allowing the design to work better, 1) Small timed buffs don’t work, as has been gracefully demonstrated by the Command Tiger. Passive short range buffs reward positioning and preservation. 2) Having better vetting will allow it to be more cost efficient and beneficial as a command unit, 3) The aura is the entire point of it being a command unit. The problem with C.Tiger's aura is not that it is a "Small timed buff" but that it cripples the DPS of the C. Tiger itself, which is probably the main source of damage in one's army composition. In other words it does not actually improve the damage army dishes out... Imo the aura of the Panther should be separate into: Always on that could be the vet 1 bonuses vet 1 active ability timed aura the vet providing the vet 2 bonuses vet 2 a bonus in the aura it self like lower cost or longer duration or sorter CD The rest of the vet bonuses can remain but affect the "ability" or/and one could have the aura first affect infatry and then vehicles... That would it allot easier to balance the aura and thus the unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: The Great OKW commander balancing24 Dec 2019, 17:28 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Dec 2019, 16:08 PMT.R. Stormjäger The massive Cmd Panther issue in 1v1 rn is how hard it is to reach its potential, since it takes absurd amounts of time to gather enough XP for its auras to kick in, which are extremely useful. Hence why I suggested improving Special Ops by making the Cmd Panther a bit better vs Infantry, about 1.5 times its current anti inf DPS, which should help it not only be a bit more useful in general but also accumulate XP faster for its veterancy to kick in and provide benefits. I really think a faster vetting Cmd Panther could make Spec Ops useful in 1v1 again. I am not sure that would enough or a good design: 1) "Always on" auras are bound to be difficult to balance and imo they should be replaced by a small always one buff and active buff with limited duration. 2) C.Panther is simply not cost efficient enough compared to C.Tiger 3) Giving the emphasis on the "aura" is problematic to begin with for unit since these unit cost too much and have a high pop making it difficult to afford an army to benefit from the aura...
