Thread: T34 ram inconsistency21 Jul 2019, 10:33 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2019, 10:23 AMHannibal Do you mean that it's s still a ram against an enemy with damage/crits or just a different overdrive? If it's a proper ram, I'm against hiding it against vet1. If it's more constistent and usable, it might be a good use for fresh throw-away T34. The ability would provide a straight line acceleration boost using the current mechanics but being skilled shot instead of aimed, if the unit collided on an enemy vehicle it would ram it. Being available on freshly built T-34 i part of problem of balancing the ability (I really do not see the consistency in being vet 0) while the cap territory is not suited for the unit. By making a vet 1 ability and making scale with veterancy one has more tools to better balance the ability. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T34 ram inconsistency21 Jul 2019, 09:53 AM My suggestion would be: Make the ability the vet 1 ability of the unit. Rename it to "ramming speed" Ability is now a skill shot increasing speed for duration Make effects scale with veterancy In: COH2 Balance
Thread: So are they really nerfing the Churchill Tank?19 Jul 2019, 23:02 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2019, 17:35 PMHannibal I did already know your guide, but thanks nevertheless. The point it does not cover (and that was also the point of question in my post) is how the shots are distributed in the possible scatter area. Basically how the program picks the randomized values. All point with in the scatter area left and right of the target should have equal chance of being hit, most rounds fired at long range should land near distance scatter max since it is a "hard" limit. The problem is not where the projectile will land but if it will collide with the hitbox before landing. In: Lobby
Thread: Everything with this faction is so friggen expenisve...19 Jul 2019, 15:55 PM For the record: Rangers Rangers are being more accessible, while their defensive stats are being adjusted to match all other infantry. Previously, they were the only ones to take less damage from all sources. Reinforce cost from 33 to 32--------Buff Cost from 400 to 350----------------Buff 0.9 Damage reduction removed.-------Nerf Received Accuracy from 0.8 to 0.73.-Buff Now have access to Paratrooper Bazookas from Weapon Racks or drops. UI indicator added to inform the player of this change.--Buff Overall Rangers where buffed and the damage reduction was replaced by target size bonus. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bug Report for Commander patch19 Jul 2019, 14:55 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2019, 14:34 PMJibberJabberJobber https://i.imgur.com/ZPPWcXS.png It is also listed as 250 at weapon profile. It used to be 332.5 that means either a ninja nerf or a unintended change with the second being more probable. Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2019, 14:34 PMJibberJabberJobber I've read it wrong, it is indeed 120. Ingame it has the same range as a vet 3 Pwerfer however. I do not think that anything changed in this case. In: Lobby
Thread: Bug Report for Commander patch19 Jul 2019, 14:28 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2019, 14:05 PMJibberJabberJobber Lefh counterbarrage range is 250 at all vet levels, instead of 332,5 range like a normal vet 3 barrage. Pwerfer counterbarrage is 160 at all vet levels, like the 160 range of a normal vet 3 barrage. Also noticed in the tools that the LefH scatter improvements with veterancy don't affect the LefH counterbarrage (other counterbarrages seem to be identical to their normal barrage counterpart, besides pwerfer range). It has 40 more damage however and a smaller fow scatter penalty (25% instead of 75%), so that balances it out. Only thing that has to be adjusted is LefH counterbarrage range IMO. howitzer_105mm_gun_counter_barrage_mp is meant to be 332.5 if it used the 250 as listed in the weapon file it is a bug. panzerwerfer_counter_barrage_rockets_mp is 120. Counter barrage did not scale with veterancy although it should probably do (imo most vet 1 abilities should scale with veterancy removing power spikes while remaining relevant). The Lehf counter barrage has better damage so the scatter is not a an issue. In: Lobby
Thread: Bug Report for Commander patch19 Jul 2019, 13:48 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2019, 13:37 PMJibberJabberJobber The extended barrage range the Lefh gains at vet 3 doesn't affect the counterbarrage ability, which is not informed towards the player. It stays the same as a vet 0-2 Lefh while still showing the longer arc on the map. The counterbarrage range of a vet 1 Pwerfer is the same as a vet 3 Pwerfer (33% more than normal), this is also not informed towards the player. Counter barrage for LeFH range should be 332.5 at all vet levels while PW counter barrage should range should be 120 at all vet levels. In: Lobby
Thread: So are they really nerfing the Churchill Tank?19 Jul 2019, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jul 2019, 13:18 PMHannibal It also depends how the scatter values are calculated, so basically if the game just takes a random number in between the scatter boundaries (so each spot in the possible scatter area gets hit with equal probability) or if there is a normalized distribution around the center. We (or at least I) don't know enough about scatter to be able to calculate it You can check the scatter mechanics here: https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/231279/a-guide-to-d-p-s-basics#latest What make scatter calculation difficult is the target's "hitbox" and the angle the shot is fired from. Bottom line here is the a Churchill will clearly beat a Stug -G at range 40. In: Lobby
Thread: Ideas for CoH 3: Caliber Specific Damage Model19 Jul 2019, 11:20 AM Damage per bullet is rather irrelevant and normalizing damage per caliber will simply make balancing more difficult since one would lose a tool to better adjust DPS. Relic did start an effort to standardize weapon performance according to category with the introduction "weapon profiles". The system was part of part of bigger approach which was "relative positioning." The system included categories of weapon that effect the range weapon would be effective and the way damage would be delivered (in constant damage or in volleys of damage). You can find info about this approach in the patch notes. For reasons unknown many later changes did not follow the system. In: Lobby

Is it meant for defense? If so then the weapons in the squad that have any effect at range is the rifles, so only four members are actually doing anything... Thompson is not a close quarter weapon. Even the one used by officer is superior to M1 at ranges up to 19. In: COH2 Balance
