Thread: Sniper Tweaks18 Nov 2019, 14:19 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 14:17 PMLago Mortars being bad doesn't change the fact that displacing team weapons is what mortars are for. If they don't work, they need buffs, not replacement. The suggestion is not to replace mortar but to have alternative better suited for more mobile game. Having a sniper work basically vs red cover would mean a sniper that loses most of potency in late game when the map is full of yellow cover and there is little cover. In addition they become RNG machines with 50/50 coins tosses for extra frustration especially in sniper duels. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sniper Tweaks18 Nov 2019, 14:15 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 14:09 PMLago The mortar is already the anti-cover, anti-support weapon unit. It is anti garrison not anti cover, and it not very good at it. Sniper would more fitted for less static game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank CP18 Nov 2019, 14:12 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 13:23 PMSander93 The tourney was interesting in regards to heavies. There were a lot of Grand Offensive Tigers used, but it's only logical that players will almost exclusively go for the strongest/most reliable strategy when there's a 10k price on the line. The strat got very predictable though, and we saw how a fast SU-85 countered the Tiger rush very well. One other observation is that the OKW Tiger seemed to be a mandatory response to the IS-2 when facing Soviets, as there wasn't much else that could reliably counter it. Very interesting indeed, it just demonstrate that Special op was replace by grand offensive. That just show how broken SU-85 becomes once vetted with high base stats and crazy vet bonuses. Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 13:23 PMSander93 So in conclusion, I would still stand by my original opinion that the current timing is fine globally speaking (perhaps it could be 10CPs), as the strats are mostly predictable and players are starting to get used to countering them (as seen in the finals), and only minor adjustments are needed. I'd look at a slight armor reduction for the IS-2 (because Axis severely lack high penetration) to ~340 and/or a small cost increase; a cost increase for the Pershing, and probably a deployment cost increase for Ostheer's Tiger (to T4) and Tiger Ace (to Tiger II cost). OKW Tiger is hard to make adjustments to beyond moving it to 10 or so CPs, as it's already behind quite expensive tech. If you conclusion is that everything is fine I am not sure why you guys even bother revamping commanders. Either the game will play only with Super heavy commanders or the Super heavies will have be move to stock.... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sniper Tweaks18 Nov 2019, 14:06 PM Imo it should be the other way round. Sniper should be good vs units in cover garrison. Sniper now deal 40-60 damage vs all infatry regardless of cover (with all modifier set to 1). Sniper do 40-20 extra damage vs support weapon. And thus sniper become a counter to heavy support weapons play. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reduce pop for soviet tanks and infantry18 Nov 2019, 08:03 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2019, 07:38 AMelchino7 ... the sole reason Jove hold a Tiger, Puma and P2 with 2 ATG and a T70 was perfect mine location. Mines basically stopped 3 STG Volks push (which removed any support on the Tiger), killed a Puma and later forced a P2 kill... That simply demonstrates how overburden SP are and how expensive/high cost they are for minesweeper duties. They OKW player is either forced to use SP a high value unit with a high pop on support duties or take a chance with mines. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: reduce pop for soviet tanks and infantry17 Nov 2019, 15:50 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2019, 15:44 PMRitter ... T34/85 and Panther are almost same pop cost. So when both player reach 100 pop It's about the same Tank number fighting each other. It's obvious who will win. T-34/85 pop is 14 Panther pop is 18 They are not the "almost same pop cost" it is x129% higher. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 6 changes to improve Wehrmacht commanders thematically 17 Nov 2019, 15:19 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2019, 15:17 PMJibberJabberJobber Think it's fine for how cheap they are to reinforce, they'd be very efficient in an anti vehicle role. AT IS would be equally good vs Vehicles while being far superior better in AI... If you think that they are too cheap to reinforce increase reinforce cost or have the AT rifles as an upgrade with MU cost. With target size of 1.25 they simply are not worth 300 MP. In: COH2 Balance

Stormjäger No it doesn’t, it’s a high skill, high difficulty ability that also gives a high reward. The game is better with it and no change is needed. You are entitled to your opinion. The fact remains that game changing abilities have been toned in this game while close the pocket has not been touched. In: COH2 Balance

Stormjäger Encirclement is fine, no change needed. close the pocket is an extreme ability ranging from op to waste of mu. The game has moved away from this model and this ability needs to readjusted accordingly. In: COH2 Balance
