Thread: Doctrinal tank traps27 Jan 2019, 09:14 AM Imo there should also be some other changes to tanks traps. 1) Increase built time 2) Change cover to yellow 3) reduce target size 4) allow certain units to dismantle them In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Showerthoughts on the Riegel mine26 Jan 2019, 22:46 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2019, 19:43 PMJoshua85 ... I don't really see a reason for that since USF dosen't have any real non-doc mines other than the pooper-mine wich can barely slow down a scout car. .. Out of the 8 USF commanders only 3 do not have access to 30 munition mines and 1 one the 2 has 1 hit snares... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What exactly does the Panzer IV command tank do?26 Jan 2019, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2019, 14:24 PMLago That being said, does it need to be fixed? That change was in SBP. If it went unnoticed for this long, isn't that pretty strong evidence that the Command Tank's probably fine at 20%? Imo the problem was commander design and not with PzIV. Mobile defense aloud both AT (Puma) and AI (C.PzIV) to be called with no tech. Puma and PzIv should not be in the same commander it is a bad design. Having that said there are issues with C. PzIV and with command vehicles auras: 1) C. PzIV did not receive any of the buff the normal PzIV got like reduced price or better scatter for OKW, so it currently has about the same AI capability while far worse AT capabilities while being more expensive. 2) Imo all command aura should scale with veterancy giving Player a motive to risk them 3) Command aura should have part one passive always on and one timed limited (cost in not necessary imo) My suggestion would be to change the gun of PzIV with that of Stug-E (its the same weapon) and to add to both of them a direct fire mode with low penetration but some deflection damage.

Thread: What exactly does the Panzer IV command tank do?26 Jan 2019, 12:32 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2019, 12:12 PMLago Tested in the cheat mod. Command Panzer IV is applying 20% damage reduction to vehicles and infantry. ... Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2019, 12:20 PMSander93 It was never changed in the files. It's still 20% (tested). Thanks both of you for clarifying that and for taking the time to actually test it. In: COH2 Gameplay

Even team weapons get destroyed less easily (the weapon itself), so keeping the Comm P4 close to a crewed PAK43 could be useful. The less damage bonus stacks with hulldown, meaning a total of 40% less received damage. (1 / 0.8 / 0.75 = 0.6) If that is the case (and one can test in cheat mod) that is bug. According to patch notes GENERAL CHANGES Command Panzer 4 We are reducing the bonuses of the Command Panzer IV’s aura to decrease its potency around units such as the Stug G and Panther that are either incredibly cost effective with increased durability or have high durability to begin with. • Damage reduction lowered from 20% to 10% In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: What exactly does the Panzer IV command tank do?26 Jan 2019, 09:37 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2019, 09:00 AMAntemurale The 20% reduced damage recieved aura applies to all units, vehicles, infantry, and team weapons. IIRC it still applies to your allies' units as well. Actually it was lowered to 10%, infantry can now survive usually an extra shot or a grenade. The ability reduces damage taken to vehicles, infantry and support weapons does not apply to buildings. You can actually see the aura icon on the units affected. In: COH2 Gameplay

Just to be clear, is it still a satchel that cant even one shoot a bunker or cache, isnt it? That is incorrect a heavy gammon bomb will one shoot a bunker or cache. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF needs real buff , MAKE UKF GREAT AGAIN25 Jan 2019, 18:22 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2019, 17:18 PMSuperHansFan Vipper I'll think you find arty commander flares are useless because all okw players ranked above 500 will build a Howie next to their base sector behind flak HT. If they are building lefh on frontline sectors they must be a pretty bad newb. Ignore vippers advice and go for balls deep smoke spam with a unit direct and off map call in arty. Hans often does this with a sneaky AEC or Cromwell and it seems to work well. Pretty sure he mentioned this in his training series. Dear Sir there are plenty of map where some can cap a sector that is located next to the sectors that are adjacent to Base allowing flares to work, a unit as spotter also works. Now PLS stop being aggressive. Bottom line is that UKF can counter LeFH. In: COH2 Balance
