Thread: Super heavy tanks changes.27 Sep 2019, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 14:23 PMKatitof Its completely irrelevant what specific unit is in question. You want to build tanks(including doctrinal ones), make your schwerer in secure place. Anything on top of that is just you trying to twist what he said. JT is a case mate TD not a tank. It also arrives allot later and is more expensive. This is another nerf to the JT which is completely unnecessary. In: Lobby

Thread: Inconsistencies27 Sep 2019, 14:19 PM Panzer VI "Command Tiger" Veterancy 1: Command Tiger ability: Infantry near the Tiger will receive -25% weapon cooldown and -20% received accuracy. Increases the Tiger's reload time by 20% and reduces accuracy by 20%. Costs 15 munitions. KV-2 Inspire: Infantry within 30m will move faster and have their weapon cooldowns reduced by 20%. Costs 25 munitions. In: Lobby

Its not like you need to protect your fuel from soviet rushing for IS-2 call-in while he harasses you with lights. Modders explained that plenty of times already, no special snowflaking for OKW anymore, you don't feel like your schwerer will last, don't put it forward. There is no disadvantage, just bad planning. You are actually contradicting yourself Since OKW can loose their tech to Super heavies there are by definition "special snow flaking". In addition PLS stop "translating" what Modders have to Katitof's theories since you seem be lost completely in the the translation (intentionally or not). Putting word in other people mouth is a very bad habit which you should quit. If you want to bring the mofder opinion provide a quote or link and not what you though they said. Example: In: Lobby
Thread: Super heavy tanks changes.27 Sep 2019, 13:34 PM OKW seem to be in disadvantage since the JT (and the commander Tiger) require a T4 with panzer authorization to be called in. In way the tech can be "unlearned" which makes little sense. In: Lobby
Thread: How are Infantrysections since patch?27 Sep 2019, 12:04 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 11:48 AMSupport Sapper So, following your feedback. Infantry sections will still stat with 4 man, i'm ok with that. Now if we let them stat with 1 weapon slot, then anvil will add the 2nd slot and give them survivability upgrade like armour/RA to become ober equivalent, and, hammer add 5th man and change their only bren to elite bren profile - aka fire on the move, the 5th model will use a sten or Thompson. What's about that ? One could try an anvil/hammer upgrade for T0 that replaces weapon unlock. Now instead of brens, Anvil gets Vickers -K and the cover mechanism that provides a bonus in cover and penalty out of cover. Bren can be redesign to be more like BAR and I guess one could allow 2 weapon slots. Non upgrade Enfield should be redesigning to be more like K98 and cost IS could go down 260. Bolster could be limited only to hammer. Tanks could see similar changes with valentine (redesigning as mini Churchill)/Cromwell and maybe Tulip/17p options in T4. The idea is to separate the upgrades thus creating more tools for balancing and more choices for the player play-style. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How are Infantrysections since patch?27 Sep 2019, 11:33 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 11:24 AMSupport Sapper Allow me to add some of my thinking on your ideas. Let say, make infantry sections 5 man from the stat but with only 1 weapon slot, then hammer add the 6th man and anvil add the 2nd weapon slot. Upgrade will be paid for each squad separately once hammer/anvil has been researched. Bolster upgrade and cover gimmick can be completely remove then. I personally I am not a big fun of 6 men squads lets leave that for soviet as stock... My personal opinion is that UKF is one of the worst design factions. A decent solution I see would be to take advantage of the hammer anvil design and offer to paths of UKF for each stage of the game. Either defensive units closer to Ostheer design (4 men squads with LMGs) or offensive units close to USF design (5 men squads with BAR type of weapons). Similar with tanks. In addition to more option on how much one can invest in emplacements both in tech and cost. Finally UKF stock units that semi elite infatry could get some sort of upgrade with hammer/anvil. For instance the 4 men squads an officer with Pistol/Smg that increased the durability of the unit without increasing the Far DPS or some sort of timed ability for 5 men squad increasing RA or DPS for 5 men squads.

Thread: How are Infantrysections since patch?27 Sep 2019, 09:48 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 08:10 AMStark Like Barton said, the main issue here is that Tommies are the only basic infantry UKF has. They had to be good early, mid and late game. They have to face spam of volks, grens and more elite infantry like obers or panzergrens. Lack on any form of diversity force to make them overperforming vs axis mainline infantry. If UKF tech would allow to build more elite form of infantry similar to obers, panzergrens, jeagers etc would give more options to balance team more directly for a early/mid and weaker in later stage of a game. Similar thing we can notice in USF tech. All factions should have at least 2 infantry unit that they can build (expect of engineers squad), one weaker and more spammable, second more elite and better in the longer term. Conclusion of this tread is that IS should have their 5th man upgrade should be also move individualy to a squad and take 1 weapon slot. Then we can buff there early game - 4 men squad. Perfect scenario would be that Tommies with costly upgrades can scale from early game (equal vs volks/grens but not overperforming vs them) into late game where they can fight vs obers/pgrens/falls but avoiding deadly blobs that we had before. Maybe one could offer some sort of upgrade with the anvil/hammer tech similar to 7th man for conscripts. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifles overperforming?27 Sep 2019, 09:46 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 01:01 AMGI John 412 Inversely you could buff the support weapons. Lol I agree with you that the “relative power” of things need to be equalized. The easiest way is probably to nerf a few units rather than buffing a whole lot of units, but the end result would be the same. 10 vs 20. 10 is too weak so buff it by ten then you have 20 vs 20. 10 vs 20. 20 is too strong so nerf it by 10 then you have 10 vs 10. Of course it’s not that simple though. Yet there is fundamental difference if the power level of units is 10 then fight last 10 secs, if the power level is 20 fight last 5 second. Having high power level creates a number of issues like snowballing, more brutal force less tactics combined arm and so on... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifles overperforming?27 Sep 2019, 09:43 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 06:57 AMKatitof Have you missed the part where relic doesn't allow removal of officer squads in any form? That means no upgrades to existing squads. Coming from you the same person who claimed that Relic will not introduce Calliope and Pershing I will keep an open mind. In: COH2 Balance
