Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion31 Aug 2019, 17:01 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2019, 19:16 PMSander93 SEPTEMBER 2019 PATCH PREVIEW - VERSION 1.3 This will likely be the last mod preview for this patch. The mod preview feedback has been useful, and we feel the update is in a Good Spot™. There will be some minor adjustments prior to the official release. Imo it is time have a better look at the "heavy tanks" role usage and counters, especially since the buff KV-1 has received. Currently this units can be used in the same role as medium mainline line tanks having enough AI and AT to deal with both PzIV and AT infantry and even ATGs. They sort of make PzIV unable to counter them even if better positioned while they force the opponent to invest heavily in AT units leaving him with little AI so that he might actually find himself in disadvantage even if he manages to defeat them. In addition one should also do an veterancy overhaul especially to KV-1 that does not scale as heavy tank but as medium. Actually could move allot of the base stats to vet bonuses allowing reducing the shock value of these unit and allowing enough counter to be built or one could move so of their power to timed abilities.

Thread: Assault Guards into more doctrines!31 Aug 2019, 16:38 PM Would suggested replacing the M5 with an M3 and adjusting cost and increasing diversity. One could then change the cost accordingly. In addition one has to tone down the vet bonuses since they are designed for units with lower base stats. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehrmacht September patch discussion31 Aug 2019, 13:44 PM Panzergrenadier G43 Why are we still messing with the and PG? Suggestions: upgrade to 5 men and 5 G43 using m1 profiles upgrade providing Vamp Mp44 adjusted to be inferior to obers or locked behind T4 free upgrade for 4 Gr43 adjusted (especially moving accuracy) making the unit from mid to close to mid to far. other bonuses suited for "jager infantry" like flares extended sight StuG Ausf. E Replace TWP ability with something more useful. Add direct fire MOD. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion31 Aug 2019, 13:34 PM Hetzer Suggestions: Allow the AA gun to be target by user input, make AA mode a toggle. Allow Hezter and Oswind to be available even when T4 is destroyed. It timing is the issue add CP requirements as other call-in units. Increase rear armour of the vehicle. The fact that it luck a turret exposes its near armour even if the user has not make a "mistake" Schwerer Panzer Headquarters King Tiger One could test the following changes. Lower the price of KT but allow only 1 per T4 truck. Allow building more 1 T4 but limiting the AA weapon upgrade 1 if a KT is lost. Benefits brining KT inline with other Super heavies. Increase time a KT can be replaced when lost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: USA September patch discussion31 Aug 2019, 13:25 PM M4 Sherman 105mm Dozer What is the point of the 105mm dozer when the dozer upgrade give access to superior vehicle and has not CP attachments? Suggestions: Replace dozer upgrade with 105mm In: COH2 Balance

Thread: UKF September patch discussion31 Aug 2019, 13:19 PM Copied from another page: Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2019, 10:19 AMSander93 Because making changes to "secondary" unit stats (like cooldowns, build time, abilities etc.) has proven to be a very good tool to balance units by adjusting their availability or timing, without having to nerf their performance. One major advantage with this is that it allows for units to remain strong to keep them attractive to use, but helps prevent them from being deployed in quick succession and/or in overwhelming numbers. In the last 2 patches units like Pathfinders, Assault Grenadiers, Valentine and Jaeger Light Infantry all triggered a vast amount of complaints after their initial timings or performance changes about overperformance, and ultimately they have been fixed without touching their performance at all just by limiting their availability (I have barely ever seen any complaints about those units since the follow-up patches). These small changes are usually way more effective than people initially think. As for the Churchill specifically, I personally do not believe a single Churchill is overperforming (except that grenade ability they had at vet 0), and that the unit is only really problematic when deployed in overwhelming numbers (~3 at once). So from my point of view, there is no reason to overly punish players using 1 or max 2 Churchills in a diverse build by nerfing the unit's primary performance. So for now, availability will be more limited to see if that alone works, and if ultimately it doesn't work, performance can always still be nerfed later. But the first option is preferred. I am very pleased to see that the MOD has taking into account the suggestion I have made many times to stoped overbuffing and overnurfing base stats and use secondary stats instead. In the case of Churchill though there stat that are not inline with other units: 1) Rotation. Simply too high 2) Rear armour. Simply too high the value make PzIV unable to harm the unit even if they move in the rear. 3) easy access to defensive smoke Suggestions: Reduce rotation speed to similar levels with other heavy tanks Reduce rear armour Replace concealing smoke with smoke that provides "cover status" (not cover bonuses) or remove smoke or move to veterancy.

Thread: September Balance Patch preview [SPBP] - general discussion31 Aug 2019, 12:54 PM StuG Ausf. E The StuG E is being moved into tech like other call-in vehicles. We have reduced the amount of CPs to compensate to encourage teching. - CP requirement from 7 to 5 - Now requires Battlephase 2 M4 Sherman 105mm Dozer To allow players to purchase this unit when they have teched up to Major, we are reducing the CP cost. Additional CP changes will take effect when the patch hits live. - Now requires Major tech - CP requirement from 10 to 7; will be reduced to 6 for live patch Can we reduce the number of unique solutions? Either add a CP requirement to ALL call in vehicles that require tech or limit to Super heavies. It make very little sense that some call in vehicles with built tech have CP requirement while either do not. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Ambulance Handbrake31 Aug 2019, 12:19 PM My suggestion is that reverse button change faction and force the vehicle to move backwards. That might help reduce the frustration of trying to manoeuvrer the vehicles. In: COH2 Gameplay
