Thread: Howitzer Ninja Changes27 Sep 2019, 09:40 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 05:33 AMGrumpy I think they're all 160 until vet 3 and then have 240 range. I tried the ML20 last night. The change to the timer is confusing. It says the ability will be ready in xx seconds. That time will pass and it still won't fire. I didn't notice this so much on the game I just played with the OKW version of the LEFH. The LEFH still feels a little better than the ML20. It seems like the ML20 hits harder when it hits but the LEFH hits more often. Neither of them are as good as a Pwerfer or Katy. LEfh-ml20 Range 35 - 250 vet 3 Range 35 - 332.5 B4 Range 35 - 250 Priest Range 35 - 180 Sexton 35-160 In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifles overperforming?27 Sep 2019, 00:39 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2019, 00:29 AMGI John 412 I wouldn’t call it a buff, more of a reorganization. As for the flat “are Riflemen op?” question, no I don’t think they are “op!!”, but they are very good at close range right now. ... And the problem was the ST44 volks and not riflemen. It all started with increasing the power level of Penal and VGs. Then instead of toning down these 2 units to the power level of these 2 units the majority of units received DPS/RA buffs. Now the power level of infantry is so high that support weapon a build allot less and most games have the snowball effect. Imo it high time that units start receiving nerfs instead of buffs.

Thread: How are Infantrysections since patch?26 Sep 2019, 23:50 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2019, 23:36 PMBenKenobi Thanks... You are welcomed. I am just glad that you are now aware that Bren tommies do not fire their bren on the move exactly the same way grenadier do not fire their lmg42 on the move. And actually DB guards lose more DPS on the move... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How are Infantrysections since patch?26 Sep 2019, 23:23 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2019, 21:17 PMBenKenobi I understand you (I would still claim that no other unit has such a dramatic DPS drop as BREN sections on the move). What I meant is that before, Tommies could not do these things, but gave a good performance in the actual anti-infantry combat. It was an understandable trade off of sorts. Now they perform poorly in anti-infantry combat and still cannot do all the things other mainline infantry (bar Grenadiers on the move) can. That is probably because the Bren does not fire on the move . All infatry that can not fire their weapons on the move suffer a dramatic DPS drop while moving.... In: COH2 Balance

Thread: UKF mortar pit garrison buff - bugged?26 Sep 2019, 23:13 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2019, 18:30 PMSupport Sapper The changes to the mortar pit itself is an improvement, indeed. But my point is that the change to the garrison bonus take away too many. I'm not asking the old bonus back but rework it to provide other benefit will be very welcomed, just simple little things, such as repair from inside. Emplacements in general are at the bottom line of usable now, they need some care. Actually they need a redesign. They need to have tech cost attached to them so that their effectiveness depends on how much one is willing to invest in to them... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: UKF mortar pit garrison buff - bugged?26 Sep 2019, 16:11 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2019, 15:59 PMSupport Sapper The barrage is stronger than auto indeed but if cooldown already just a couple of sec after each barrage then what is the point of garrison now ? 10 seconds... I did not made any command about how good the garrison bonus actually is. I simply pointed out that it is probably an improvement compared to old one with nerf to all mortar's autofire.

Thread: UKF mortar pit garrison buff - bugged?26 Sep 2019, 14:36 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2019, 13:04 PMGrumpy ... Worthless - aka Working as intended. ... I would actually call the change of the garrison bonus a buff since the barrage is stronger than the autoattack and without garrison the pit should be able to fire at 30 second instead 75 pre patch. The mortar would probably be in worse state if it had the old garrison bonus. Not that I would claim that pit got buffed overall. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: UKF mortar pit garrison buff - bugged?26 Sep 2019, 11:59 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2019, 11:45 AMsave.penguins Hello, recently I was testing the capabilities of mortar pits, whether the garrison buff is worth it or not. I found out that the doesn't reduce the reload time at all. Only thing I noticed is, that it reduces the cooldown of the barrage by approx. 30 %. But I find this pointless, since until the barrage is finished, the cooldown is ready anyway. I conducted the test by placing 2 mortar pits next to themselves in the cheat mode. One was empty, the other garrisoned. Then I used both attack ground / barrage on both pits simultaneously. The time between shots was the same, roughly 8 seconds / 6 seconds. Could anyone test this out and confirm it? The mortar pit guide on the forums says that it should increase rate of fire by 50 %, which would be a pretty good deal, but this information is from 2017 I think, so it might be outdated. Is this intended, or is it a bug? If yes, can it be fixed in the upcoming hotfix? For clarification, I am not a simcity user, but I think that sacrificing the presence of one sapper squad for a few seconds might give me the upper hand against mg spams, which I find pretty common after the pgren and ostwind change against ukf. Mortar Pit The Mortar Pit was too efficient at locking large portions of the map compared to the minimal amount of user input required to operate it. Auto fire range from 115 to 90 Barrage cooldown from 75 to 40 Smoke Barrage no longer shares a cooldown with the main barrage and only uses one mortar Smoke range from 120 to 150 Barrage reload from 4 to 3/5 Barrage aim time from 0.5/1 to 0.125 Garrison bonus changed from reload bonus to -25% barrage recharge Veterancy 1 reduces Smoke Barrage cooldown by 25% In: COH2 Gameplay
