Thread: OKW September patch discussion21 Aug 2019, 14:54 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2019, 14:15 PMSkysTheLimit They don't have to start with kar98ks. I think they just don't want them to start with fg42s The point I have made is that unit is not consistent with paras and is simply is inferior to them. More expensive, less entities, easier to wiped during drop, no demo charges and standard weapons instead of elite make the weak when entering the field. Imo OKW fall should be redesign as infiltration unit since it fits OKW thematically, less overlap with obers and currently OKW do not have access to such unit. The airdropped Fall can be moved to Luft Ostheer doctrine and be modeled after Paras with 5 or 6 models and 3k98+2 FG42 as an upgrade and serve as "elite" infatry for Ostheer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehrmacht September patch discussion21 Aug 2019, 14:47 PM Command Panzer IV Imo the changes to this units will make it obsolete. 1) The unit has no reason to have both Tech and CP requirement. That is reserved for super heavy units. One of the two should go. 2) The units AT is almost non existent while it AI is not superior to standard Panzer IV especially since it does not get a pintle MG. Replace the gun with one Stug -E used and allow HEAT round stat have low penetration but do deflection damage 3) The aura bonus nerf is unnecessary currently 2 stand PzIVs are usually better option should be redesigned to work similar OKW C.Panther and scale with veterancy. One could also split auras in 1 passive +1 active 4) The unit vets slow XP value should be lowered. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion21 Aug 2019, 12:12 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2019, 11:43 AMthedarkarmadillo @vipper even without tech the M3a1 is significantly more expensive. The fact that it requires tech while the Kuble does not is just additional justification. Again M3A3 should win vs kubel it should not annihilate it, the M3A3 is an cost efficient even if it does not annihilate kubels. Point here is that kubel's window of opportunity is simply too small it becomes obsolete as soon as the enemy decides to built a car which can be 30 secs after the kubel hit the field. The current changes are simply not enough to make kubel more attractive. Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2019, 11:43 AMthedarkarmadillo Also you yourself felt the DSHK was OP, but nobody knew because maxim spam was meta. Sometimes a unit can be fine (or OP) but we don't know because it doesn't see action as there is an easier option. As long as volks are the most attractive option since forever any way to make the Kuble more attractive means making it too strong for a 210mo no tech starting unit that can be turned into fuel when it dies... Kubel is far from being OP and I have not used the "it is not used so it must be bad" argument, actually it a MOD team that want to be used more. Its decent unit with a small window of opportunity and very map depended. Imo the best way to make it more attractive,is it to increase the window of opportunity and even nerf the performance if one has to. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OKW September patch discussion21 Aug 2019, 09:37 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2019, 09:20 AMJilet Everyone is saying that you should pick your fight. But the thing is Falls camo will open up once you step out of cover and even a single hit or random mortar AOE will prevent achieving this task. Give it the commando camo without the ambush bonus and they will be fine. I would say the exact opposite. If they are an dropped unit lose the camo and reduce the price since they currently overpriced compared to paras. If there is a need for camo it can be separate weapon upgrade that could includ short/mid range weapons like the Mp-40/Mp-44. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion21 Aug 2019, 07:49 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 21:39 PMSkysTheLimit Consistency with other airborne? The others do get choices, so maybe falls should get another upgrade path Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 21:55 PMSkysTheLimit Why are you comparing smgs and carbines to fg42s? You're still not making any sense... Patch falls are cheaper than both Paras and commandos, and get 2 free fg42s As I have pointed out already actually there is nothing consistent Fall and Paras. Free weapon upgrades are available to infiltration units and not to airdropped units. Neither is K98 an elite weapon like Paras carbine. There is little reason for Fall to start with only K98.

Thread: OKW September patch discussion21 Aug 2019, 07:47 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 21:43 PMthedarkarmadillo i know you were, which is why i did the math to include soviet t1. and my point stands, the unit cost is significantly higher and hell, even the teching cost is comparable to the cost of the kuble, theres no reason it shouldn't gulp it down, especially when you consider the power difference that 10mp in the same tier allows for the additional 120mp and 25 fuel are absolutely justification. That is simply misleading, one could add the unlock cost to AEC but adding to the m3 is simply untrue. And again my point is not that M3A3 should not win, it simply should not be able to do so effectively leaving almost no chance to kubel to escape. Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 21:43 PMthedarkarmadillo the speed compounds throughout the early game though. being able to send your sturm and first volks to Bee line the enemy cut off while the kuble can zip around and back cap with less down time makes a difference, add in being able to cause bleed without taking any if it does run into something, or being able to quickly respond to even the other side of the map if say combat engies try and decap are very powerful. volks are just infinitly better investmen because they havnt a downside to write about for their price and will scale all game long. but thats not a kuble problem... also, even in crossing in the woods, a volks kuble build will have sturms, volks and a kuble on the opposite cut off WITH terretory capped before a soviet player even has the resources to build a scout car. thats a lot of fire power to bring to bear, especially given the speed that the kuble can move on past that and grab ground after the initial clash. Yet kubels see little action and MOD want to increase the use of it. Decreasing the built will help and will even cause less issues since the OKW firepower at start is being toned down.

Thread: OKW September patch discussion20 Aug 2019, 16:49 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 16:20 PMthedarkarmadillo I can't think of a single reason that an m3 shouldn't eat a Kuble alive. If memory serves its 25 fuel and 330mp with teching included... I was referring to the Soviet M3A3 or else known clown car. Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 16:20 PMthedarkarmadillo Faster build might be squiffy too since the unit itself is pretty quick and caps pretty fast as well. It already affords a lot of map control and against the Soviet in particular who lack combat units without t1 it really helps strums eat up any starting units. Unless the map is really big there is very little benefit in capping since it the built time is close to that of VG that are better at defending the caped area. Reducing built time increase the window of opportunity to use the unit effectively. Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2019, 16:20 PMthedarkarmadillo Also I'm not sure doubling it's long range accuracy is the way to go at all...... I never suggested doubling the DPS. The DPS across car should become more consistent from vehicle to vehicles but I would rather see these vehicles do less DPS and be more durable then do lots of damage. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OKW September patch discussion20 Aug 2019, 15:37 PM Kubelwagen Once more damage reduction is complicated solution to a simple problem. If one want kubel to take less damage simply revert some of the nerf to armour and adjust HP as needed. Imo what is actually needed to make kubel more attractive is: 1) Reduce built time. Reason: the unit is mostly built to help cap faster but it takes so long to built that in most map it does not really offer an advantage. 2)Reduce the penetration of the HMG of light car like M3/WC51/UC. Reason: These units deal too much damage to kubel making extremely difficult to move a kubel out of harm way and greatly reducing the window of opportunity for using the unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Jaeger command squad should be buffed!19 Aug 2019, 11:28 AM As so other units the JCS squad suffers from an identity crisis. If it is a command squad its should have some unique abilities be limited to 1 and come at the same time as other command squads like: Artillery officer, NKV officer or strum officer. If it is an elite infatry it should not be limited to 1. So simply redesign the unit. On suggestion for a command ability would be to have an aura that provides additional bonuses to cloaked units (like increasing the duration of the ability or allowing the units to get the bonus even when not cloaked) or provide cloak to units with no camo upgrade like pioneer and paks.
