Thread: 6 changes to improve Wehrmacht commanders thematically 15 Nov 2019, 09:50 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2019, 01:38 AMJibberJabberJobber Considered it, but the Officer already offers 2 previously doctrinal abilities without them taking commander slots, while being a potent squad itself. Also, not being able to call recon wherever you want limits usefulness in team games. .. First of all thanks for taking the time to read my post. Recon can replace smoke which is less useful especially with a "free" mortar. You can now add an aerial or some structure similar to soviet paras that can call in medic kit or air support.

Supply drop can also have the AT rifles if you want, the MG should be replaced by a mortar, there is no reason for an MG34 drop when M42 is available from T0. Medical kits can be dropped from buildings or vehicles. Now you can add a "repair support pioneers" from Heavy armor doctrine or Forward supply station from urban assault doctrine, or SWS trucks.

Stormjäger What if I compared 3 G43s and 1 STG44 on Pgrens on the move against 6 guard mosins? Or 3 G43s and 2 Kar98s on the Jaeger Command Squads? Feel free to compare what ever you like, you do not have to ask my permission. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Heavy Tank CP14 Nov 2019, 17:04 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 16:57 PMSander93 Every faction has an affordable tank destroyer that is (much) cheaper than an opponents heavy tank. Only Ostheer has a bit of an awkward time transitioning into T4 for a Panther because of extra costs and research/build times. Even if some factions have an easier time getting these counters out, none of them is too far behind. And if the opponent is so far ahead in resources that they can get a heavy out before a counter can be produced, I don't see much of a difference with getting swarmed by 2-3 mediums instead (beyond a heavy being a bit more reliable at closing the game fast). Let me try to explain this one more time. TD access would make sense if infatry fight where equal, they are not and some faction can pull infatry/TD combos allot easier than others. Thus the Super heavy meta is easier to be countered with stock units by some factions than others. Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 16:57 PMSander93 USF premium mediums see little use because they are overshadowed by the (cost) effectiveness of the HE Sherman and the Jackson, as none of them offer anything significant over these two, and using them comes down to player preference. That has always been the case and has nothing to do with heavy tanks. It has allot to do with Super heavies since heavy cavalry see allot of action and Pershing/M36 is a very powerful combo. In addition it has allot to do with the fact that USF premium are cost efficient vs Tigers/KT... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guard Rifle QOL Improvement14 Nov 2019, 16:59 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 16:13 PMSeductiveCardbordBox You do realise the difference in DPS between the PTRS and a guard mosin is 0.5 at long range and less than 3 point blank, right? By the time you get your MGs and are making use of firing positions, it nearly irrelevant. It only makes guards less pinata if you don't want the PTRS, and better on the move (where they still aren't anything compared to their stationary firepower). ... Actually Guards DPS have a smallest DPS drop of the move especially long range, and 6 Mosin have x150 more DPS on the move than 4+2PTRS. Last thing this game need is a long range units with great DPS on the move so it can execute retreating squads. The change to drop weapon is lower than other units and if you can simply pick up the weapon with another unit. The "pinata" issues was addressed years ago. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Heavy Tank CP14 Nov 2019, 15:39 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 13:37 PMSander93 All factions have stock tank destroyers available that can hold back heavies quite decently for a much lower cost. That would make sense if all faction had the same AI infatry or the same cost efficiency in TDs. They do not, thus super heavy meta creates further imbalances. Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 13:37 PMSander93 I think getting medium tanks while the opponent is (usually quite obviously) saving up for a heavy tank is more strategic mismanagement than it is a balance issue (for example VonIvan vs Luvnext G3 of the WCS). That simply decreases diversity further, for instance USF premium tanks have been buffed thru the roof and still see little action because their window of opportunity is small. Faction can be perfectly balanced when using certain commanders but that does not make them balanced... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Guard Rifle QOL Improvement14 Nov 2019, 13:14 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 13:00 PMT.R. Stormjäger LMG airborne have 2 LMGs, not 3. Guards Airborne are the ones with 3 LMGs. The USF are called "Paratroopers" not airborne, so you can understand where the confusion come from. Jump back to quoted post14 Nov 2019, 13:00 PMT.R. Stormjäger Guards were OP is not an argument and neither is nerfing other units since the balance team has shown time and time again that they do not subscribe to that line of thinking. Like I said, if Falls and Paras are balanced, Guards deserve a buff. Not really Neither Falls nor Lmg Paras have an AT weapon. They are purly AI units and comparison with Guards is simply misleading. Well regardless what of balance team's line of thinking (which they have not expressed clearly and I doubt there is actually only one across all members and Relic), one has to point out what is a good direction and what not. And continues buff is not a good direction, it is as simply as that. In: COH2 Balance
