Thread: Infiltration nades vs molotov 13 Sep 2019, 13:04 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2019, 12:26 PMddd How should i compare doctrinal infantry and ability unlock for mainline infantry? The same OP compared molotov which ability unlock for mainline infantry with a doctrinal ability... Bottom line is the Assault grenadier come with similar ability. As an ability "infiltration grenades" is not that great and non one would be pick either doctrine because of them. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: State of the Kingtiger13 Sep 2019, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2019, 12:06 PMSander93 Fair point, but do keep in mind that the King Tiger has several other outstanding traits that contribute to its cost. Namely very high durability (1280hp + 375 armor), high damage versus vehicles (240, up to 312 with HEAT shells) and now Spearhead mode being quite accessible which gives it improved sight range and decent suppression on the hull MG. One other thing to keep in mind is that HEAT shells actually have a noticeable effect on the new AOE profile now, so the standard profile can't be too good or HEAT shells would vaporize infantry. That makes no sense at all. The unit should be balanced around it normal performance not its doctrinal abilities. If the doctrinal ability make it OP change the modifiers of the doctrinal ability.

Thread: Infiltration nades vs molotov 13 Sep 2019, 12:03 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2019, 11:53 AMddd Its questionable only for extremaly bad players, ask someone good and you will learn infiltration nades are borderline broken. 20 muni cost is a big joke. Same cost as ass grens is a minimum Feel free to provide your video where you used them and them being broken. As a commander slot compare them with assault grenadiers and you might find them lacking. In: COH2 Balance

I did not compare the Ober with Guards and Shocks, I simply used them as example for the importance of timing. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infiltration nades vs molotov 13 Sep 2019, 09:25 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2019, 22:37 PMthedarkarmadillo Hi all, was rereading the patch notes and something that stood out to me was the "doctrine ruining" nerf that infiltration nades got the bumped them up to 20 mu... That's the same price as a molotov. Doesn't that seem like an incredible oversight to anyone else? Comparing the cost of the molotov and the cost of infiltration grenades is simply misleading. One could compare the effectiveness but the cost has to be compared to with cost of other options. Infiltration grenades can be used by Ober but bundle grenades and WP grenades although more epxensvie are better options, can be used by JLI which is a the only option (and a good one). They can also be used by VGs who have the flame-grenade. Between the flame grenade and barrage which is better is situational since "infiltration grenades" can be used for wipes and certain conditions but flame grenade can be used for cover denial since it has a longer duration. If one increase the cost "infiltration grenades" one would probably have to increase the performance. The problem comes from the OKW release when OKW had very few tools to deal with garrison and "infiltration grenades" offered enough utility to take a slot. Currently with "incendiary grenades" available to VGs it is questionable even it is worth the slot. Actually one could merge the ability with MP-40 upgrade and be done with it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG34 for Obers comes too late!13 Sep 2019, 09:08 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2019, 00:15 AMBalanced_Gamer I am talking about Obers. I dont care about the other units. It does not help if facts are ignored. As you state, other elites coming earlier is an issue but it wont help nerfing their timing since it has been always like that. Why nerf their timing anyway? ... I think you are full understand timing. When Relic lowered the CP of shocks and Guards to CP 1 without any other changes they proved completely OP and dominated the field. So timing of Obers is related to the timing of other powerful units. And no it has never like that. The timing of powerful units and upgrades has becoming increasing sorter. This is definitely a step in the wrong direction and earlier obers will not fix it. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Redesigning Emplacement12 Sep 2019, 23:52 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2019, 22:18 PMGrim You say redesign but these all sound like nerfs to me? At the moment I think emplacements are a poor investment and not much fun to play with or against. That is because you are probably missing the point. The player using emplacements will have the option to invest less and not committee in defending his emplacement or investing more and committing in defending them. In: Lobby

GUESS WHAT both 50. call and dshka already have AP rounds unbelievable how people are still talking like experts but don't know the current state of the units they talk balance about I am perfectly aware of that but with the USF tech changes there is little reason for non vetted AP rounds for these HMG. It can be moved to vet 1 and be consistent with axis hmgs. In: Lobby
