Thread: Redesigning Super heavy Tanks21 Nov 2019, 16:45 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2019, 16:04 PMTiger Baron I'm sorry but could you define a "super heavy"? Are the Elefant, JT, ISU-152, KV2 and Sturmtiger super heavies or something? Or do that Tiger, KT, KV-1 and IS2 count as well? Cause a lot of people also count the Panther as a heavy tank while the game says it's a medium one and I'm just getting confused by what people mean exactly. Super heavy vehicles is the term used by Relic to describe late vehicles limited to 1. (yes valentine and command PzIV does not count). There are different type of Super heavy vehicles like: Tanks as main battle tank Assault guns Tank destroyers The suggestion is mostly about super heavy Tanks (Pershing, Tiger, IS-2, KV-2 and maybe KT, C. Panther, Churchill) but I would personally implement to heavy Tanks like: KV-1, KV-2 and Churchill since these units are imo problematic also. In: Lobby
Thread: cons cant uprade mobilize reserves after ptrs upgrade21 Nov 2019, 15:27 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2019, 15:12 PMflyingpancake While i agree that PTRS cons are bad now saying that artillery has nothing to with Soviet anti tank is wrong. All Soviet gun where always supplied with both HE and AT shells as doctrine prescribed at the time. They would even fire en masse at large tank formations. This is doctrine of having all gun with HE and AT is reflected in the game by the ZIS3 gun as well. Perhaps replacing the ML20 with the B4 might work. The b4 when used right can be a potent heavy tank (and anything smaller) killer. This would allow it to stay a artillery unit ability while still staying within theme. Artillery pieces with HE have little place in a "AT" themed commander regardless of Soviets WWII practice. Both ML-20 and B-4 can be used vs soft targets and should not be available in the commander. What is a shame is that Ambush has a rotation penalty to SU-76 and SU-85 and makes the ability unsuited for 2 AT Vehicles. Other than the current meta is about super heavies and all commander that do not provide super heavies are simply not used. In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: 6 changes to improve Wehrmacht commanders thematically 21 Nov 2019, 11:26 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2019, 11:11 AMOrangePest IMHO if you wanted to make mobile defense more appealing 0-Cp counter attack tactics= Now allows light vehicles to cap 0-Cp Puma= remains the same with a 10 fuel cost decrease. or giving it a sidetech that allows for earlier timing (like 9 min) 2-Cp Panzer tactican= remains the same 3-Cp ostruppen reserves= Two squads of ostruppen infantry but instead of rng weapons one squad comes with ptrs/bazookas and the other thompsons/ppshs (Depends on which theme you're going with really) 7-Cp cmd tank remains the same. C.PZIV and Puma should not be in the same commander it is as simply as that. Both units have been nerfed to oblivion because of this commander the same way stuka has been nerfed because it exist in the same commander at Elephant. Some combinations of abilities should simply not be available. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Redesigning Super heavy Tanks21 Nov 2019, 07:19 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2019, 01:33 AMMMX interesting suggestion for sure, but i think a moderate increase in fuel cost (15-20%) would be all that is needed to bring heavies back in line again. Problem with "economy" solution is that the they have different impact across game modes. Another issue is that allied TDs get penetration vet bonuses and become increasingly better vs super heavies. If the vet bonuses included armor bonuses the armor/penetration ratio could be less effected by vet level. In: Lobby
Thread: Redesigning Super heavy Tanks20 Nov 2019, 23:56 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2019, 23:20 PMShadowLinkX37 I think deflection damage would go a long way in aiding tank combat overall instead of 100% or 0% damage. This is a bit of the vet suggestions but I would rather skeptical of adding deflection damage to all AT weapons "spaming" T-70 to counter KT should not be a viable tactic. I guess one could add some deflection to some weapon or someone could add chance of a deflection damage on some weapons as a ratio to penetration/armor. So it would break down a bit like this: Critical hit full damage Hit but no penetration, re-roll for a deflection damage equal to weapon damage*penetration/armor Ricochet no damage In: Lobby

Thread: Redesigning Super heavy Tanks20 Nov 2019, 21:44 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2019, 16:48 PMT.R. Stormjäger Increase armour by like 20% and nerf health by like 40%. That way getting close to AT guns and getting flanked will be lethal and promote proper counter-play, promoting a dynamic where the attacking player has to get close to the heavy or flank, while the heavy player wants to keep distance and secure the flanks. The suggestion for the vet overhaul is separate issue from your suggestion and both can take place. On the other hand your suggestions would be make the fight more RNG and would be a massive nerf to Tiger while the IS-2 would be less effected. Even with 360 armor the Tiger would still be penetrated reliably by Allied TDs while with 450 armor IS-2 would had a good chance to bounce everything up to Pak88/Ele/JT In: Lobby
Thread: Redesigning Super heavy Tanks20 Nov 2019, 16:36 PM As seen in the latest tournament Super heavy Tanks are dominating the meta. There has been allot of post about their CP and I was actually surprised to see that some members of the MOD are not yet convinced that they come too early. So this a suggestion for a redesign that might be implement regardless of timing changes. Imo it should be worth testing lowering the base stat of these units but increase their vet bonuses. In other words the "new" Super heavies will be of lower power level at vet 0 but of equal or even higher at Vet 3. The suggestion aim at reducing the shock value of these unit while increase the skill for using them. Bonus could include armor bonus for each vet level, penetration, AOE, ROF, so that these units become increasing better is smooth way. In: Lobby
Thread: "For Mother Russia" (sprinting while in combat)19 Nov 2019, 21:00 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2019, 20:23 PMSerrith Any blob using an assault type ability can be powerful, and when they can stop and shoot IS are very strong with it. The prevalence of yellow cover in 1v1 late game varies from match to match, while in the larger game modes you will often see plenty of rocket arty so I can buy that in 2/3/4v 2/3/4 there will be ways of pathing to the enemy which takes you over yellow cover. Lastly, you are right that a blob does not have to shoot and move in order to take advantage from assault, it just very greatly benefits from it. Then we agree, because you original post created to me the impression that in your opinion "assault" was weak ability. In: COH2 Balance
