Thread: how to fix the american population exploit?9 Apr 2019, 18:37 PM A simply solution would be to increase the pop of Crews. One could even go further and add (replace) and ability to withdraw unwanted crews. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Wehrmacht - Strategic Reserves - Feedback9 Apr 2019, 17:49 PM Vipper's feedback: CP 0 Assault Grenadiers Unit seem to Up, with same cost as Assault engineer it has allot less utility and can not get an early flamer while generally it is facing unit that are good close range Compared to CP 1 Cav riflemen it has less utility and can upgrade to less firepower since they can get 2 Thompson +1 bar. The upgrade comes really late and even then the units is UP for cost. Total cost is 306+60 mu yet the performance is far from that. Suggestion: Possible change could include some of the following: Replacing sprint with "diversion" (Ostheer officer) then units could be more useful in working together with grenadiers defending them from enemy units the close in. Model units after Cav riflmen allow 2 STGs upgrade. Replace the individual upgrade with a global upgrade similar to bolster infatry and units after upgrade could come as 6 men. Replace the unit with Panzer-Pionier unit modeled after USF Assault engineers. Change vet bonuses to include a reinforcement discount. One might need to change CP or cost after these changes. CP 0 Forward supply Station In game description say it can work also as forward retreat point while it does not seem so. Ability is currently OP on certain maps, the difference in CP from the UKF one is also weird. Suggestion: Generally about this abilities I would suggest: Building returns to full health once upgrade, maybe remove set of fire critical but increase damage from flame weapons. Ability allow upgrade to building allow player to decide how much he want to invest. For instance: 150MP/20fu gives you 2 engineer 100MP/10fu upgrade now add 2 more engineers 100MP/10fu upgrade now allow reinforcement Specifically about Ostheer one could add a Reckon plane with single pass and the repair bunker. CP 0 Panzer IV H Moving unit to HQ was a good change. Suggestion: Imo one should modeling Panzer IV H after Sherman 76 with 2 firing mode HE and AP. The unit would be more useful. The rear armor of the unit need to be increased. Combat blitz should be replaced by blitzkrieg. CP 2 (passive)Breakthrough Equipment PG grenade seems useful Pioneer upgrade seems to expensive investing 30+30-30+60 munition in 4 men pioneers seem to much especially compared to 5 men pioneer squad available to infatry doctrine the can repair 25% faster than normal engineers. Satchel in a 4 men squad will probably have limited uses. Destroy cover as a map manipulation ability is very strong. Suggestion: I would suggest the following: merge the upgrade to minesweepers upgrade for repair speed and destroy cover and to flamer for satchel so that they become available for no extra munition cost Increase the Cd on destroy cover for all units maybe add 5 mu cost. CP 15 Tiger Ace The commander animation seem weird. This unit does not seem enough to sell the commander. Suggestion: Have the commander appear only when spearhead is on, it will also make sense with extended vision. I would either replace the unit or change the mechanism to be more interesting. General: The commander seem to be badly designed: Repair available from pioneers, supply station and self-repair for Tiger. It is simply too much overlap. Commander provides "superior" infatry, superior medium and Super heavy making the commander weaker in 1vs1 more powerful in 4vs4. From design point of view commander should get improve units is some area and not so many. Suggestion: One could test some of the following changes Replace the Panzer IV H with the Panzer IV D modeled after T-34/76. That would allow players to afford both Panzer IV D and Tiger in 1vs1. Replace the Tiger with Stuka/JP/hezter/luch or some other ability and redesign the Panzer IV H after Sherman 76. That would allow the Panzer to counter units like the KV-1, Churchill...that currently require building stug or Panther. Replace assault grenadier with mortar HT that is currently inferior to the USF one, leaving the commander "weaker" in infatry but focuses on armor. Another option would be to use the 6 men pioneer squad from the campaign. In: Lobby
Thread: Cav Rifles9 Apr 2019, 16:21 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2019, 16:06 PMShadowLinkX37 I think a large problem with cavs is that BAR rifles just kinda do everything. They're CQC oriented, but also perform very well at max range. Doesn't really leave room for much else when you can just buy more rifles. On top of that 2 thompsons and 3 grease guns are pretty underwhelming in comparison to 2x BARs or rangers/paras 4x thompsons. Yeah they're cheesey as hell in the WC51, but I think that's more of a truck issue than anything. You can get 2 Thompson and 1 BARs on Cav Riflemen and their mid DPS is quite good. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: I think Scavenge Doc need rework9 Apr 2019, 09:45 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2019, 09:33 AMblvckdream Pretty sure OKW players wouldnt want to get T34s when they can have the OKW P4 from the same tech building. KV2 might be interesting but I think it would be next to useless against Allied high pen, high range TDs. Although I am not an OKW and I play all factions, I would take the T-34/76 over the ostwind any day. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Give 222 smoke by default?9 Apr 2019, 09:42 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2019, 09:26 AMthedarkarmadillo thats still quite the difference in durability before (and after) skirts. also important, hand AT. shreks deal 120 damage, so the hard HP of the m20 could have it dead by 2 hit, but the 222 needs 3 zook hits. ill admit i didnt realize the m20 stock armour was that high, but i stand by my point, the 222 is more durable. unless you add a boat load of munitions to the m20 that is. I have simply pointed out that compared to underskirt M20 the 222 is only slightly more durable vs penetration 1 weapons and that against some at weapons the HP difference does not really mater contrary to the claim that is more durable against ALL AT weapons. I have also pointed that the skirted M20 is far more durable than 222 vs small arms while it has the same HP. The original claim that 222 is significantly more durable is simply flawed, as I pointed out. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Give 222 smoke by default?9 Apr 2019, 08:15 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2019, 07:11 AMKatitof It got durability upgrade, without it small arms can take it down and it has significantly less health then 222 out of the gate. In addition, it can engage infantry exclusively, contrary to infantry, lvs and planes 222 can engage(ok, maybe M20 can shoot at planes too, but 222 can actually take them down with relative ease). Unupgraded M20 has less EHP vs 1 pen small arms then 222, upgrade cost is worth more then 10 fuel. Its not "fuck ton less health", but its 240 EHP vs 1 pen weapons in favor of 222. 222 also has massive advantage in durability against any kind of AT weapons due to having that extra health. Skirted M20 got more EHP, but resources combined, it also costs more at the end and its firepower stays meh at best. Word of advice: If you are going to use quotation marks you have to actually put the exact words and not change them. Else you are putting words to other people mouth and that tantamount to lying. Especially if it being done to prove me wrong. This is what darkarmadillo wrote and what I responded to: Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2019, 00:01 AMthedarkarmadillo Depends on if you bundle in the side tech you need to unlock it. But at any rate, *it's a fuck tone less durable* than the 222 and comes a smidge later. Idk what you want from me here. If you want smoke on it there are a number of doctrines that provide that. Yet you write: Its not "fuck ton less health", In addition that claim that: 222 also has massive advantage in durability against any kind of AT weapons due to having that extra health. Is simply false. Many AT weapon do 160 and need 2 shots to take vehicles with both 240 or 320 HP. The stat of EHP for these vehicles vs penetration 1 weapons. M20 no skirts EHP front 2.640 Rear 1.320 222 EHP front 3.060 Rear 1.440 M20 skirts EHP 5.280 Rear 2.640 In other words 222 has around x116% more EHP than the non skirted M20 while the skirted M20 has x173% more EHP. My point still stands the 222 is only slightly more durable than non skirted m20, while the skirted M20 in fact more durable. (edited to add the actual stats and clarify my point) In: COH2 Balance

Thread: OST Grens8 Apr 2019, 15:22 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2019, 15:21 PMWingZero How about giving Grens the ability to build sandbags just like VGs? Actually sandbags should be removed from the majority of mainline infatry. Then people would have reason to build other unit also. In: COH2 Balance

Vipper, this is a bit off-topic but dont you know whether USF weapon crews (50. cal and Pack howie) have bigger target size/ lower survival-ability, compared to their counter parts?
